◆WHAT DJs ARE ACTUALLY DOING?
First of all, the question we frequently get asked is,
"What is a DJ doing?"
There are many types of DJs.
Club DJs, Producer DJs, Radio DJs, Battle DJs, etc...
A general DJ is called a club DJ, and the songs are played one after another non-stop to entertain the audiences, listeners, and/or viewers.
This is the basis of club DJs.
There is often the word "DJ MIX", which means that you can use a DJ set to connect songs without stopping.
It's up to the DJ to play a song that everyone likes and wants to hear, or to play a party tune that everyone absolutely knows.
Not to mention skilled DJs, DJs who are the first to keep up with trends and DJs who dig up famouns songs that no one knows are also highly evaluated.
Producer DJs are the ones who can also produce musical beats and tracks.
They arrange existing songs as "DJ REMIX".
We often see cases of releasing it these days.
◆DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE ALSO DJing WITHOUT KNOWING?
For example, when you all go for a drive by car, why don't you collect your favorite songs on your smartphone and play them?
That's already a DJ!
In short, selecting songs that you recommend is a DJ.
Also, the number one reason for being praised is that the song selections is excellent.
We are pretty sure that DJs are very good at it and we strongly believe it's very interesting!
There are various DJ equipment even if it is called DJ, but there are three main types of DJs' styles in general.
The first one is [Analogue Turntable DJ].
It is a record player for DJs. DJs are required to use analogue records (vinyls).
The second is [CDJ | DATA FILE DJ].
A CD or data file player for DJs.
CDJs and data file DJs are different, but they are almost the same except for different media, and there are some models that can use USB memory or SD card for CDJ equipment.
Hence, we have summarized them into here.
You can DJ using your own CD, CD-R, USB thumdrive with MP3, etc.
The third is [PCDJ].
PCDJ controllers are pretty popular for beginners!
