Basic Equipment for a DJ Controller
A DJ controller is a main tool in the hands of a professional DJ. It is essential to have a sound to help create music for the enjoyment of all those who are enjoying the party. The sound of a DJ controller comes in two forms, the variable and fixed. The fixed sound will either be supplied by the DJ or a pre-programmed one.
The variable sound is made up of many sounds of which the most popular one is usually the siren. In other words, the sound that accompanies the arrival of the first beat in a song. This sound has the ability to set the mood for the crowd. It has the ability to set the atmosphere and the dancing as the beat begins.
A DJ controller comes with two tracks, these tracks are called the input and the output. The input and the output are using to control the sound of the DJ controller. The track that controls the input will be switched with the track that controls the output. These tracks can be controlled either manually or automatically depending on the need.
A DJ controller will include three sets of connections. The channels, which include the left and right tracks, the standard MIDI in and out ports and the analog output. These connections are meant to give the DJ the ability to manage more than one type of output.
Apart from the signals that are controlled by the DJ controller, there are also cables that are used for connections. These cables will be long and will be connected to the inputs and outputs with a lead. A lead is needed to connect the cables to the DJ controller.
This leads is divided into two sets, one set that is for the audio and another for the cable. The cables will differ in quality and durability. The quality of the cables will depend on the prices that are involved in them. However, you can also use a variety of cables and it would not affect the performance of the DJ controller.
A DJ controller is actually a machine that plays the sounds that you select on it. If you are using a DJ mixer that does not play the sounds that you want, you can buy one that will. A DJ controller will usually come with a line-in option. Line-in has the ability to connect the inputs of the controller to an amplifier that will then increase the volume for the sound.
A DJ controller consists of the actual sound card and the mixer. The mixer is what allows the signals to be converted from the signal that you feed into it. If you are getting a DJ mixer, then you have to look for a mixer that has a high quality sound card in it to ensure the sound that is played on the mixer is the sound that you want it to be.
