PartyTime. Where’s the Music?

I’m having my annual birthday party on Friday. It’s called DanielFest, because my name is Daniel. I am worried about the DJ. Last party we had was great: my roommate’s friend from Brazil was staying with us, and he was a DJ: he had some professional DJ equipment and a professional audio mixer. He brought the house down.

Needless to say, he’s back in Brazil and I’m worried. Now, I don’t have the scrills to hire a DJ with professional DJ equipment or Behringer pro audio. And goodness knows that I’m no DJ, and I don’t want to have to stand in front of my computer mixing all evening. So I don’t know what to do.

On one hand, I could make a playlist. But then I subject myself to choosing music that not everyone will like, and it will influence the party negatively, and I will be a laughingstock for having a bad party and no one will want to come next year.

On the other hand, I can use one of those websites that play music, but then I run the risk of songs that are cheesy, of hearing songs I don’t like, and worse, commercials, and that is the last thing I want when I’m at a party.

What should I do?

Film Editing? You’ll Need A Professional Audio Mixer

In addition to  DJs, aspiring filmmakers and editors really can benefit from having a professional audio mixer on hand. In order to really get a full sound transcribed on your video, you’re going to need a professional audio mixer. Why? It’s simple—just like a TV station combines multiple camera signals with a camera switches, you will need to combine multiple audio sources with a professional audio mixer. Audio mixers are handy in many cinematographic situations like remote location filming, as well as post-production editing. Mixers have three main functions:

-To balance the levels of the different inputs

-To set sound levels for recording

-To combine multiple audio sources into a single output

DJ mixers are great to use for video editing because they have many line-level inputs. In addition professional audio mixers used by DJS have the capability to run on the both A/C and batteries offers serious production advantages over other mixer types. DJ mixers can give you great results when using them in the editing suite because most signals in use are line-level. Due to the many microphones used in field production, a production-specific audio mixer would get you better results.

Professional Audio Mixer Etiquette

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the world of DJing, there is a certain set of universal principles that one should follow when on the job. To help you avoid common mistakes, here are the basics on dealing with other DJs.

Other DJs

1)      Never start setting up your professional DJ equipment while someone else is playing (if it’s easily avoidable). Setting up your gear during the last songs of someone else’s set can create some tension in the booth.

2)      If sound check isn’t possible, bring a short mix CD to blend out the last of the previous DJ. Set up while the mix is playing, that way you’re not in his way while he’s finishing up his set. 20 minutes is usually a fair length for a between-sets transition mix.

3)      If you’re coming on after another DJ, it’s also a good idea to enter the booth about 5-10 minutes before your scheduled start time, introduce yourself, and let them know what your expected start time is. If there is a conflict with times, don’t argue, just find the promoter and have them sort it out.

4)      Even though you’re the most amazing DJ to ever touch a professional audio mixer, it’s always a good idea to watch what the previous DJ is doing for 20-30 minutes and feel out the crowd’s vibe.

DJ Headphones: One Important Piece of Professional DJ Equipment

When you’re out playing a set, one of the most dominant senses you put to work is your hearing, when means that you’re going to need a good pair of headphones. Here’s why:

When operating your professional audio equipment, DJ headphones can provide superior sound over standard headphones because they use powerful drivers that artfully reproduce the low and high tones and bring out the subtleties and nuances of what you’re mixing.

Another benefit is that DJ headphones are extremely durable. Users of regular headphones wear theirs casually or every once in a while, while DJs are constantly dragging their headphones around. Whether they’re being thrown in the bottom of DJ bags, or their being pulled on and off their heads during sets, or being used and slightly abused in one way, they need to be able to stand all that action.

Another reason a DJ headphones are essential professional audio equipment, is because they’re comfortable. They are built for long-periods of wear, so they are designed to give the wearer maximum comfort.

So all in all, if you’re thinking it’s time to treat your ears to some new DJ headphones, you should look no further than CrispDeals.com and the extensive selection of the highest quality headphones.

Professional Audio Equipment To Save Your Audience’s Ears

Testing, testing. Hello, Cleveland! Welcome to tonight’s EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Oh, feedback. That ear-piercing blast of sound, that banshee shriek. 18khz of ouch.

The most experienced sound engineer in the world, manning  the best professional audio equipment, is still going to get it sometimes. And that’s them. Take a less experienced musician, say, a presenter nervously holding the mic a little too close to a monitor or speaker – EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Collective wince.

So let’s talk about feedback suppressors, that sweet professional audio equipment that can save your audiences ears.

Here’s how they work:

Feedback suppressors use a search algorithm to locate and remove feedback frequencies, without destroying the integrity of your signal. The equipment locates specific feedback frequencies and invokes narrow-notch filter cuts to eliminate the selected frequencies from the spectrum—leaving the remainder of the signal virtually untouched.

Or just know this: at Crisp Deals you can get a top-of-the-line Behringer pro audio feedback suppressor on sale for $129 and eliminate the risk of that agonizing, vibe-killing screech from every event you hold.

Honestly, sometimes we think it ought to be the law.

Professional DJ Equipment Secrets Of My Favorite Party House

Ever wonder, while you’re standing in line, waiting for the bouncer to recognize what your style will bring to the dance floor atmosphere, exactly what professional DJ equipment is being used in your favorite club?

There’s no place I’d rather dance to the beats in NYC than Santos Party House. Because Q-Tip is THE BOMB. So I was really psyched to discover this description of the professional DJ equipment my man uses.

This is some techie talk, but I know you’re ready for it:

An advanced sound system designed and integrated by TimbreTech Audio Services, based around a Soundcraft Vi6 board at FOH that is easily locked off and run remotely via a laptop in the DJ booth. The board was spec’d by Jim Toth. At monitors is a Soundcraft Vi4 running six JBL SRX 712M 12-inch wedges powered by Crown XTI 6000 Series amps. The P.A. comprises JBL VerTec VT4887DP Series line array elements with VT4880 subs. Toth’s use of the loudspeakers allowed him to set the level and EQ of each cabinet individually, a requirement as the room hosts DJ/club and live performances, as well as other events.

The dance system: a 24-foot horizontal array of custom-designed speakers. Each five-way features 24-inch and 15-inch drivers in a line spaced with minimal interference or cone filtering; bass is supplied by the same JBL VerTec VT4888 subs. Power is via Crown I-Tech 4000/8000 amps with built-in DSP.

Damn.

Is it getting hot in here, or is that just me, fantasizing about professional DJ equipment?
