How to be a DJ - Serato vs. Vinyl

Why would I want to use mixing software?

Music doesn't get released quickly enough on vinyl. You're a busy Mixmaster, and don't have time, or room, to keep up w/ 1000's of pieces of vinyl anymore. Plus any dj would prefer to carry 5000 records with them over 500, it adds to the diversity of any play list.

So what are my options?

There are a few quality software programs out for the wedding, mobile, club, and radio mix show djs. But first you need quality tools to use the programs. The first decision is whether to purchase a cdj or vinyl turntables. There's an enormous amount of cd dj equipment on the market now.

If your choice is for the cdj then any of the Pioneer models serve as the industry standard. Not that other there aren't other brands that get the job done, but the job tends to be more simplified with the pioneer cdj 1000 mk3 cdj with mp3 capability. Now if we're talking dj vinyl turntables, then Panasonic's Technics SL-1210M5G Quartz Synthesizer Direct-Drive Turntable is the best in the business, forever and always the industry standard.

Whatever the choice, please stay away from cheap dj equipment, in the end you're going to pay the same cost as the expensive equipment through the upgrade process. As a dj, you will ALWAYS be upgrading your equipment, so get used to it!

Now what dj mixing software do I use?

Assuming that you already have a laptop in hand, and a backup to support the world travels that you do...We'll now give our awards to the best dj software on the market.

The award for dj mp3 player of the year goes has to go to the Rane SSL Serato Scratch Live. But the Stanton Final Scratch 2 for Macintosh and Windows is a very close runner up. Both dj software packages may be used with a pair of a pair of cdjs and vinyl dj turntables.

No matter what your choice is, dj mixing software WILL NOT make you a better dj. You still have to put in a lot of practice time to master music mixing, cutting, and scratching. All these tools do is give you a leg up on your song selection. Please respect the art form and develop your technique.

Used Pioneer Dvj-1000 Professional Dvd Turntable $2274.99 Offering the same operation and layout as the CDJ-1000MK3 with enhanced DVD specifications, the Pioneer DVJ-1000 allows DJs to easily create and add visuals to their sets. Several groundbreaking features enhance its core CDJ-1000MK3 capabilities, plus you can manipulate DVD visuals as you would music; so digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible. DJs can perform audio-only sets while having the option to mix DVD with a powerful and versatile range of effects on hand. The best of both worlds. The DVJ-1000 can be slotted into existing booth setups, making it a logical purchase for clubs looking for a high-quality CD deck with the future in mind. Speaking of visual artistry, research shows that around 70% of clubs and 60% of music bars are installing visual equipment, so there's a definitive need in the market for creating imaginative and engaging visual sets. All the more reason to step up to a DVD turntable. Additional features include MP3 compatibility (with an intuitive navigator), a brighter and larger WAVE display, studio-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio and several innovations like 4X hyper jog mode and a back-and-forth loop button. The DVJ-1000 offers the standard features and enhanced specification of the CDJ-1000MK3, allowing DJs to easily add visuals to their sets. It includes 'JOG feeling adjustment' that tailors the deck to performers' individual styles and retains the familiar look and feel of the CDJ-1000MK3 with pitch control, cues and loops executed in the same intuitive fashion. Formats and MP3 Navigation The deck supports CD (CD-R/RW) and DVD (DVD-R/RW) media and performers who work with DVD in Europe and the States will value the convenience of built-in PAL/NTSC compatibility. The DVJ-1000 sets a new benchmark for music portability--up to 1,000 MP3 tracks can be accessed on DVD-ROM--and provides the most advanced deck for working with this ever-popular format. When connected to a preview monitor, the MP3 Navigator makes track selection a breeze: the information is displayed on a larger screen, DJs can search for music by file and up to eight subfolders (for example, genre of music, artist, track) and seven lines of text are available. For ease, a cursor button is included on the deck to scroll through and select files. Track information DJs also receive more information from the Preview Output Display. This enhanced feature provides an extensive dashboard (through a preview monitor) that displays key information for DVD, CD and MP3 including: DVD content, WAVE, title, artist, album, main cue points and three hot cue points. The DVJ-1000 retains the recent display improvements to the CDJ-1000MK3. The 360-degree On-Jog Display is improved by being raised on the wheel and lit fluorescently, the cue marker is larger and the 45-degree angle marks make it easier for scratch DJs to time their effects. The track display's resolution has been doubled and the lighting is multicolor and fluorescent, while the WAVE da
