A DJ's first job is to correctly understand all English on his DJ equipment, such as FX = effect = effector, sampler= sampler, loop= loop, EQ=equalizer=, vinyl= vinyl. You must understand its meaning. Only by knowing its meaning can we know what it is used for and how to operate it. Even if you don't use this function at all, you must understand what this English means. So you know how to use it. What is left is the skill of how to mix without feeling disobedient, and how to make two songs as coherent as one song, that is, to do a good job of mixing. If it is a dish-rubbing pie, we should study the effect of dish-rubbing and different methods of dish-rubbing.
The whole process of DJ's work can be called disc playing: disc playing ≠ electronic sound production, which is not completed by disc player and mixing table. CD-ROM playback means that DJ uses CD-ROM player and mixer to seamlessly splice a large number of different electronic music. Then playing a disc means picking up a song, mixing it or rubbing it. DJs usually play CDs in nightclubs, bars and other places. Playing disc refers to the whole working process of DJ, which is different from rubbing disc. Rubbing the disc is to stop it by hand, or to make the disc rotate faster and move to other parts of the music quickly. Or control the head to paddle around the disc by hand to produce a special timbre. The disc is a little biased towards the disc. The whole job of DJ is DJSET, or DJLIVE, which can be called disc playing. Accurately speaking, DJSET and DJLIVE are abbreviations, called DJLIVESET, which is the live performance of DJ. The working process of DJ is called disc broadcasting, which actually evolved from the English word "PLAY" and literally translated as "playing" disc. Playing with a dish is different from rubbing it, it's scraping. Here I just want to distinguish between playing and rubbing, and rubbing is just a part of playing. The whole process of DJ equipment controlling music is called playing, not rubbing the disc, but playing it. Actually, it's really not difficult to play discs. To be a good DJ in a club or bar, the key is to master the mix of songs. The connection is seamless, the songs are good, and the mix is in place. The hard part is music production, not disc playing, but another job, music producer. So world-famous DJs are almost music producers at the same time, because if they were just DJs, not music producers, they wouldn't be so famous.
Actually, DJ's job is just to play discs. When he can play discs and make music, his occupation should be DJ &；; Music producer, that is, DJ/ producer we often see, refers to both DJ and music producer. When he composed music, he was a music producer. When he was playing the disc, he was a DJ. Making music and playing discs are also two different jobs. Of course, if you want to learn how to play CD and find a DJ for training, you will know all the functions of CD player and mixer in a few days, and the rest are technical problems, which has nothing to do with it. I'll keep you for two months. If you want to learn electronic music production, you have to find such a company or find a music producer of electronic music and pay tuition to teach you. If you find a DJ for training, you will only be taught how to play discs, but not how to make music. Even if you can, you will only be taught how to make local music. Because DJ and music producer are two professions, excellent DJ is almost a music producer at the same time. DJ training can't teach you to do electronic music, and the job of DJ is really not that difficult. The function of each DJ device is similar, but the operation is different. Although the buttons, knobs and pushrods of different DJ devices are different, you can understand the Chinese meaning of all the functions just by reading the manual, and then you can understand what they are for.
DJs are divided into two groups: receiving songs and mixing, and rubbing discs. The main job of a group is to receive and mix songs continuously. People usually refer to this group as hybrids or hybrids. The main job of the school is to wipe the dishes. Many professionals will call DJ's live songs through the MIX table of the disc player, which is actually an abbreviation, which is different from the mix of music production. Then more accurately, it should be continuousmix, which is the full name. The concept of mixing two songs is to mix and match the music continuously so that people can continue to dance without getting cold. Speaking of it, picking up songs is a kind of mixing, so it is best to make each connected piece of music sound like a song as much as possible. Therefore, we must pay attention to the integrity of pickup, and the pickup that can really be mixed together is the technical performance. Then scrubbing is scraping. These are two kinds that DJ should grasp. If everyone had known that DJ was just a profession, not a musical style, and was no longer called DJ by mistake, this profession would be more useful than it is now. Of course, DJs don't necessarily emit sound, but 99% of DJs emit sound, because almost all nightclubs emit sound now.
DJ's workplace is mainly in clubs or bars. Let's literally explain the difference between nightclubs and bars. Generally, shop signs at the door should indicate whether they are clubs or bars. CLUB is a nightclub (full name: nightclub) and BAR is a bar. In fact, the two are different. With the development of the times, most clubs and bars now invite DJ to play CD, because more and more clubs and bars will invite DJ to play CD, so there are more and more job opportunities for DJ. However, there are also many clubs and bars that don't invite DJs to play CDs. Usually Chinese pop music is played, which makes the atmosphere completely boring. Clubs and bars are simply not suitable for playing Chinese pop music. Such nightclubs (clubs) and bars (bars) should either invite a DJ to play CDs and change the atmosphere by discharging sounds, or wait until they close, because clubs and bars naturally have to invite a DJ to play CDs. But in fact, there are very few clubs that directly play China pop music without asking DJ to play CDs, but there are many such bars in China. It stands to reason that bars, like clubs, must require DJs to play CDs and electronic music. However, the bar culture in some cities has not kept up with it, and the bar culture in China is not mature, which leads to a bunch of bars directly playing China pop music without asking DJ to play CD. Such a bar is not good. The reasons are as follows: If you are a bar owner, you must hire a DJ to play CDs and discharge sounds, which is definitely more suitable than directly playing a China pop single. Atmosphere is very important. When you can make the atmosphere of a bar similar to that of a club, it is a real bar. In order to be mature, BAR needs to improve by inviting DJ to play CD and electronic music. In the earliest days, bars and clubs only played singles of pop music or rock music. Later, with the progress of the times, both bars and clubs invited DJ to play CDs, and the music style played gradually changed with the times. Nowadays, almost all clubs and bars that invite DJs to play CDs broadcast electronic music. There are few clubs in China that don't invite DJs to play CDs, but there are still many bars. Bars and clubs are the same in culture, so if you want to make your bar well, you should also hire a DJ to play CDs and electronic music to keep up with the times. In addition, as a DJ, if you want more venues in your city, you must rely on you to spread positive energy, so that clubs and bars that don't invite DJ to play CD can come up with the idea of inviting DJ to play electronic music, which will also help domestic clubs and bars keep up with the development of the times and give DJ more job opportunities.
