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.
