A DJ is a person who plays music on the stage. DJ's skill is called disc playing, which can also be said to be the technical term for disc playing. They exist in the form of playing songs. Most of them play electronic music, but strictly speaking, they can play any music style. Playing discs is generally translated as DJing, divorced from occupation.
The full name of DJ in English is disc jockey, which can be translated into Disc Jockey. DJ developed with HIPHOP culture and DISCO. With the development of DJ, the meaning has been completely clear.
DJ is just a profession, a technical term. The main club is showing a disc. DJ refers to disc players in nightclubs, bars, livehouses, warehouse parties, music festivals and other places. DJ is not a musical style, but a technical term. If it is regarded as a musical style, it is a misnomer for some kinds of electronic music or dance music.
The original meaning of "MC" is the master of ceremonies, that is, the host, because the pronunciation of the master of ceremonies is ['em 'si:] and "MC" are exactly the same. Therefore, in the usual expression process, the abbreviation "MC" is used instead of "MC". MC holds the microphone, while DJ plays music, he holds the microphone. It's MC speaking.
Extended data:
Actually, DJ's job is just to play discs. When he can play discs and make music, his occupation should be DJ &；; Music producer, that is, DJ/ producer we often see, refers to both DJ and music producer. When he composed music, he was a music producer. When he was playing the disc, he was a DJ.
Making music and playing discs are also two different jobs. Of course, if you want to learn to play discs, find a DJ training, and you will know all the functions of the disc player and mixer in a few days, and the rest is the technical problem. If you want to learn electronic music production, you must find such a company alone or find a music producer of electronic music to spend tuition.
Find a DJ to train, only teach disc playing, but not music production. Because DJ and music producer are two professions, excellent DJ is almost a music producer at the same time.
DJ training can't teach how to do electronic music, and DJ's job is really not that difficult. The function of each DJ device is similar, but the operation is different. Although the buttons, knobs and pushrods of different DJ devices are different, you can understand the Chinese meaning of all the functions just by reading the manual, and then you can understand what they are for.

3. Who can tell me the basic knowledge and technical terms of DJ?
Dj basic knowledge and hardware understanding turntable 12 inch LP special record player needs pitch (speed correction).
It is recommended to buy Technics 1200 or 12 10, which is recognized as a professional DJ record player by all DJs. The CD-specific turntable of CD player needs a space.
The mixer mixer should have the following basic equipment: output/input of more than two channels, and master volume adjustment; Headphone output, and can control the headset monitoring terminal (cue) and its volume; A set of microphone inputs. PGM level (output rail volume decibel indicator).
Of course, there is also a set of crossfader R. It is better to have an independent equalizer (EQ) and a built-in effector and sampler.
The monitor monitors the speakers. Put it on both sides of the DJ table to avoid the time difference caused by the echo limit exceeding 17 meters, and let the DJ go astray when shooting.
The bass should be strong enough and the sound level should be clear, so as to avoid the time difference when monitoring due to the turbidity of bass and treble. Headphones, monitor headphones.
The bass should be strong enough and the sound level should be clear, so as to avoid the time difference when monitoring due to the turbidity of bass and treble. The earphone cover should be as big as the palm of your hand, which is convenient to take and wear.
At present, some DJ-specific headphones have to be tilted to one side to be clamped (there is only one wire and one earphone). Cassette head and stylus.
Special stylus for DJ is preferred. Anti-static slide rail for Slipmate turntable; Otherwise, it will be difficult to catch it.
Basic concept 1. The basic structure of electronic dance music-the concept of cycle Almost all electronic dance music has certain structure and rules, no matter how complicated and changeable it is, it has certain structure to follow. If it is electronic dance music with drums, you can learn about the operation of the basic structure of electronic dance music with drums.
Just like writing, a tune is an article, and an article is composed of words, sentences and paragraphs; The same is true of electronic dance music: one beat equals one word, eight characters (beat) is one sentence, and four sentences are one paragraph (that is, 4*8=32 beats). Such a segment is called "cycle". And then there's the cycle.
Well, now the basic structure of electronic dance music will not be too difficult to explore. It is easy to recognize every time you beat the drum; But if it's a T like Breakbea or an interlude without drums, it's not so easy to identify, but it's still carried out according to the basic mode of every four eight beats.
With a basic understanding, it won't be so difficult to be a DJ. 2.BPM BPM is the abbreviation of "beats per minute" and is the unit of beats per minute.
The simplest concept is that drums always * * * make several sounds during a one-minute period, and the unit of this number is BPM. For example, a dance music by House is drummed 124 times in one minute, so the music is 124 BPM.
As for the calculation method of BPM, you can use a watch or stopwatch to calculate and count the drums slowly by hand; You can also use some machines or synthesizers to calculate BPM. For example, the mixer of Pioneer DJM-500 has a built-in BPM metronome, and Casio also has a G'mix watch with BPM calculation function. 3. The cue point is called "cue point" (or cue point) at the first beat at the beginning of each cycle, that is, the first moment when it bulges out.
Finding drums is the basis of DJ skills. There is no DJ who doesn't look for drums before mixing, unless it is the wrong DJ, that is another matter. 4.Pitch DJ's special record player only has this function, perhaps it should be said that DJ can use the record player with this function.
Pitch literally means pitch control, but in fact the change of pitch is caused by the change of the speed of the record player. DJ needs to control the speed of the track when shooting, and the music from the left and right tracks is exactly the same in the beat speed BPM, so the two songs can be seamlessly mixed together.
Pitch is a device that controls the speed of the record player on the record player, thus adjusting the BPM of songs. 5. The fader/cross fader sound attenuation control slider on the mixer; That is, a sliding button that can move up and down or left and right according to the trajectory.
There is a scale display next to this slide button, indicating the volume played at the mobile position. The DJ controls the volume of the left or right channel through the volume controller.
As for the crossfade, it can control the volume of all channels at the same time. 6. 6.EQEQEQ is the abbreviation of EQ. On the more advanced mixing stage, there is always an equalizer adjustment button.
Generally speaking, EQ adjusts the audio changes of treble, alto and bass when the audio track is played. The application of emotional intelligence needs to be trained after the DJ foundation is laid.
Get' start now officially enters the description of DJ skills. In this part, we will explain it from the perspective of a DJ's thinking when mixing, so that everyone can understand the method of DJ mixing more clearly.
Step 1-Count the beats: When you start practicing duet, take an electronic dance music record that is not too difficult and not too paradoxical as the first track and put it on one of the two record players, assuming it is the one on the left. After putting it away, press the start button of the record player to start rotating, and carefully put the stylus on the record. When playing, count the loops of the left channel in your mind: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8~22345678~32345678~42345678.
12345678。 "And has been circulating.
Remember: if you can't hear this cycle, you can't be a DJ. Memorizing 1234 while listening to music can train the recognition of cycles.
After all, every DJ walks so slowly. Step 2-Choose a song: Next, we have to work on the second picture.
Choose a dance music record whose BPM is not more than 8% different from the first one within the control range of Pitch, but it is actually better to play it at 4 BPM, and there are two kinds of music that cannot be too different. It's best to choose the same kind of music, such as Techno connecting Techno. You want to connect Breakbeat to Techno unless you have all the skills.
4. What are the technical terms about DJ?
As the name implies, 1 and BPM (beats per minute) are the total beats of a song in one minute. Due to the limitation of turntable and adjustable CD player, and the sound of songs will become very cartoon and funny if the speed is adjusted too much, the speed of the two songs to be received should be similar, and the difference is preferably between 5 and 10 beat.
In addition, the rhythm and speed of each type of dance music are similar, which is more related to the same type of music, otherwise it will be very strange, for example, Trip-Hop and Raggae are about 80~90 beats, House is about 120~ 130 beats, and Techno is about 120~ 150 beats. Suggesting the starting point of a song is usually the first beat of a bar, but some people think the second beat is more accurate. The purpose of grasping the cue point is to make the two songs have the same speed. The normal way of dance music is 4/4 beats (that is, 4 beats per bar, quarter note 1 beat). When a song comes out of another bar at the end of the fourth beat, it will be played at the same time.
3. scratch is a skill of using records to reverse sound. It is usually widely used in Rap and Hip-Hop, and other music styles will also be used according to the situation. However, Scratch will hurt your beloved records and needles, so although it is dazzling, don't abuse it; In addition, scraping is usually carried out together with cross gradient. For example, crssfader plays a record and comes out, and crossfader pulls it back and goes back to another track. 4. One of the most basic methods of overlapping songs. The so-called song overlapping is to tune two songs to the same speed by using the pitch function of special turntable and CD player (there are acceleration and deceleration devices on turntable and CD player).
Then, play two songs at the same time by capturing the cue points. After about 2-4 bars, the two songs fade in/out. For example, the underworld's "Born Slippery" BPM is about 139, and the PF project's "Choose Life" is about 136. If you want to connect the former with the latter, you have to adjust it three times faster. 5. Lost songs (flying songs) Lost songs are thrown at the end of the last song or at some point after catching the prompt. I usually don't pick up alternative rock, and two songs are lost because of the big speed difference but the types don't match. For example, Fat Silm's new song "The Rockatelle Skank" is an embarrassing beat of 152, followed by Big Beat too fast, followed by Drum & apos and Bass, which are too slow to lose.
6. Fine-tuning the beat of two songs does not mean that the beat will always be accurate when overlapping. Occasionally, you should nudge the record with your left hand (speed up) or rub the turntable (speed down), and nudge or pull the pitch with your right hand to correct it. 7. monitor headphones, don't be too loud. You should be able to hear the music playing on the loudspeaker outside. Sometimes you have to switch between listening to the song to be played and the music being played, and turn the volume closer to eq to avoid being too abrupt.
5. What are the special terms or jargon in the bar? ..
1.highball (usually in a large ordinary glass) is a cocktail mixed with liqueur, liqueur and mix (all kinds of juice, soda, cola or milk).
Generally, it is made by blending 1 oz wine with corresponding drinks. Usually, it is house highball (cocktail highball named by the hotel itself), or some other common names, which are also common cocktails in bars (highball type), such as Tom Collins, john collins, Mai Tai, Heizi Kulai, Greyhound, screwdriver, see breeze, zombies, slings, tequila sunrise, Long Island iced tea, Father of God, blue lagoon, (.
When ordering wine, just say the name, such as "tequila sunrise, Please" (usually 1 ounce of spirits) or you can say "2 ounces of tequila sunrise, please" (in this case, the bartender will use 2 ounces of wine, or you can say "double tequila sunrise, please" means using 2 ounces of wine. ) There are usually ice cubes 2. Martini Martini usually uses 2 ounces of wine to mix with other things in a bar, so when ordering a martini, it goes without saying 2 ounces. ). The glass used is a martini cup (conical goblet).
Martinis have different names according to different tunes. For example, Kelly, the heroine in Sex and the City, always orders martinis in bars.
Other common martinis include Manhattan, Lantini (cranberry juice), Kiss of Sicily, watermelon, Robroy and so on. If you go to a bar and just say "a martini, please", the waiter will usually ask you "gin or vodka", then you can also explicitly say "gin martini, please" or "vodka martini, please".
Some martinis often use a little absinthe (sweet wine with herbal ingredients, divided into red sweet absinthe and white dry absinthe, similar to wine), some martinis use sweet absinthe, and some use dry absinthe. If there is absinthe in martini, it is usually 1/4 oz absinthe (a small amount of absinthe).
If you use the same amount of sweet absinthe and dry absinthe (the same dash), it's called a perfect martini, and another example is perfect Manhattan, which means there are both sweet absinthe and dry absinthe, and everything else is perfect Robroy. Martinis usually without ice. 3. Margarita (ice cubes and mixed juice are broken with a blender and mixed with wine) Common margaritas are: Kiki, Daikiri, Margarita, coconut grove fragrance, etc. Like highball, use 1 oz of wine. If you want more wine, you can order 2 ounces. 4. Pure wine without drinks and ice. (use the "lens" of a small glass. ) There are also some common shooters. 5. When you go to a beer bar, you will find many kinds. There are also different classification methods. According to the taste and color of mourning, it is divided into: lager (. Common brands in the market are "blue" beer), light beer (such as Coos light beer), malt beer (such as Sliman malt beer), dark beer (also dark beer, such as Guinness) and dry beer (such as molson dry beer). I have seen two different beer combinations here, with two layers of different colors. I don't know if you ordered. It's called "black brown" (it's a bit tricky when it arrives, or it's mixed, 1/2 stout and 1/2 ale or something). 6. The basic action of wine tasting: First, pour the wine in the bottle into the cup, gently hold the cup holder by hand, and gently shake the wine in the rotating cup up, down, left and right to see if the wine hangs (the mouth of the cup is torn).
Good wine, especially sweet white wine, will definitely hang a cup; Secondly, put the glass under the tip of the nose and suck it to identify its fragrance; Finally, gently put the cup to your lips and take a sip. This is the main part of wine tasting, and then the tip of the tongue is used to distinguish the quality of wine.
The above three actions must be up to standard in order to show the style of "expert" wine tasting! In addition, tasting cups do not need luxury and color, and it is not easy to see the color of wine in colored cups. The glass should be clean and transparent, and the wine should not be too full. Just pour 1/3 cups deep.
7. When ordering wine, the expression is: "Two ounces of scotch on the rocks, please." A two-ounce scotch on the rocks is needed. "A scotch on the rocks, please." A scotch without ice. In common sense, foreign wine cocktails (highball, martini, Margarita) are a mixture of strong liquor and liqueur. Main alcoholic beverages: Vodka gin) scotch (scotch, the most common brand of Chivas Regal in Chinese, that is Scotch) Irish (Irish whiskey) rye (Canadian whiskey) Bourbon (American whiskey, Jack Daniel's common brand) Rum (lime, lime three colors: white, Ambre and dark, among which Ambre rum is the most. Tequila liqueur: There are many kinds of liqueur. Generally, the name of liqueur is the brand of liquor (different from liquor, for example, rye has different brands). Just name a few kahlua (Mexican coffee wine, which is the most common brand) Triple Sec Amaretto (different brands of hazelnut liqueur) Baileys (Irish milk wine, creamy liqueur) Martini vermouth (absinthe, two kinds of white dividends) creme de cocao (creme de menthe), Similar to liqueur but with different brands and names: mint gin peach gin creme de banana blue curacao melon liqueur (green, cantaloupe liqueur) Grand Marnier (orange liqueur with brandy).
