I just found a killer interview that MTV did with DJ Tiesto. Tijs is preparing for this years WMC (Winter Music Conference) in Miami and tells you who to look out for this year.
Tiesto was the #1 ranked DJ in the world for years and now resides in the #3 spot. One of the best ways of discovering new music is to ask other DJs. In this video Tiesto talks about the DJs and dj bands that he is looking forward to seeing:
Just this week, Dj equipment king pin Pioneer released the brand new DJM 350 2 channel mixer.
To record a mix in “the old days” you would have to get a funny and illusive rca to headphone jack cable from a store likeRadio Shack. Or you would have to buy a full on sound card to be able to record in stereo from rca to rca. Now the Pioneer DJM 350 makes it easier than ever to record a mix with a USB plug for that specific purpose.
Now as you mix you can record your mix as you go so that you can analyze your set to see how you can improve or even just double up a club set as a mix CD for your friends. The DJM 350 makes it even easier because there is a mark button on the mixer that allows you to set a chapter point where the mix will automatically be cut. This means that you will never have to edit a mix again.
Once your done your set you can burn it to a CD and the tracks will already be cut up!
The feature is also super handy for recording vinyls to MP3s for those records that you cant find an MP3 of online.
DJ Magic Wong gives you an intro to DJing. He walks you through the dj equipment, the dj mixer, the turntables, Serato dj software and he then explains beatmatching, phrasing and shows you how to do some basic dj mixing.
It doesn’t matter if you want to dj trance, house, dnb, breaks, hip hop, electro, raggea, hardcore, techno or any other kind of music… this is a great intro.
So many people want to be DJs but very few even know what a DJ does. I hope this dj tutorial helps you out!
