Understanding the Best DJ Suited for Your Events

By Brendon Volegna


Disc Jockeys can be of many kinds. You have the radio disc jockey, who choose and broadcasts music on FM, AM, digital, shortwave or some internet music stations. Then you have a club disc jockey and play recorded music in bars, discos, and night clubs. You also have specialty hip hop DJs who use turntables to play that kind of music. They may also resort to starching of the turntable to create a more percussive sound.


Disc jockeys are just not paid to blab. They have to play music as well and is really doing there job to entertain people well they are full-time entertainers. They are the ones who bring home the singer's voice, musicians as well as talents of a myriad of celebrities from the entertainment world. They also share stories about current news events and help keep listeners up to date on traffic, time and weather.


A lot of people prefer to have disc jockeys present at their parties but want them to play only mild music, sort of like creating an ambiance in the background, nothing that gets the guests to move or do anything at all for that matter. Others want their disc jockeys to really go all out and get the guests rocking from the minute they enter till the minute they leave. There are plenty of DJs who are able to provide professionally trained disc jockeys that can give their clients both kinds of music and everything that is in between.


Even though a DJ can cost a great deal of money it will be worth it. Therefore, it is very important to match up the DJ with the age group you are looking to cater to with the music. For example, if your guests are older then a DJ that can plays music of that era would be beneficial. This would be a good opportunity to choose a DJ relatively no less than 40 years of age and has a wide variety of music available. The main concept behind this is so there is a comfort level for all associated in the event. Furthermore, many people find that having a DJ can be a very popular choice for your party and most often people find that this is a very important concept for a successful party.


DJs have various pieces of equipment which they use; it all depends on your level of expertise. For a beginner you will have to master the cue. The cue is the first basic equipment you will need to know how to use before you move on to the others. The function of a cue is to cue the different audio track between the different paths. Once you have mastered the cue then you can move on to other equipment and tasks like turntables, DJ mixers and creating mixes and adding special effects. A DJ mixer is different compared to a studio mixer, it can redirect the audio to a headphone port so that only the DJ can hear the music as well as embed a cross fader which allows smooth transitioning between music.
