5. USING DJ CONTROL MP3 E2 AT A PARTY 5.1. Overview You are now about to learn everything a DJ needs to know to host his or her first parties. Let’s start at the beginning, namely setting up the party: no DJ would allow himself to arrive unprepared, which is why he would have organized his material and selected his records beforehand. You should do the same by sorting through your music.
5.2. The DJ Control MP3 e2 control panel You can access the control panel to configure your DJ Control MP3 e2. corner of your screen) by clicking the icon. 5.2.2. Accessing the control panel on Mac - Access the control panel by double-clicking the icon on your desktop. 5.2.3.
5.3. Monitoring with headphones To prepare his musical line-up, a DJ uses headphone monitoring: he listens to a track on his headphones while the other one is being played over the speakers, allowing him to adjust the tempo so that the tracks flow seamlessly together. He can also add audio effects, set cue points (markers) to start up at a specific point in a track, create rhythmic loops, adjust Treble, Medium and Bass frequencies, and so on.
ENGLISH c) When running VirtualDJ for the first time, you will need to configure the software for use with your sound card. Output(s): Headphone The adjacent menu should then display the default configuration: Master : Front output / Headphones : Rear output. Sound card: 4.1 card (PC) / 4 Out Card (Mac) Select the sound card you want VirtualDJ to use in the the adjacent menu.
5.4. Speeding up or slowing down a track The main reason for speeding up or slowing down a track you are about to play is to match its BPM (i.e. the number of beats per minute) and synchronize its beat with that of the track already playing. In this way you can mix the two tracks together smoothly when switching from one deck to another. There are two ways to regulate the speed of a track: by manually adjusting its pitch, and automatically via beat-matching.
To set a cue point: - When you get to the rhythmic section you are looking for, press Play/Pause. - Press CUE to set this position as cue point 1. ENGLISH is inserted in the track’s timeline. To go to a cue point when playing a track for the audience: Using the same marker principle, you can also create loops, which are sections of a track repeated to infinity.
While the track on deck A is playing for the audience, press the headphone monitoring button on deck B (the right-hand deck) so that you can hear the track you will be preparing on deck B on your headphones while the audience continues to listen to the track being played on deck A over the speakers in the room (assuming you have a multi-channel sound card that has been configured for use with headphones in VirtualDJ, as described in chapter 5.3 Monitoring with headphones).
ENGLISH FRANÇAIS Simply repeat this procedure when you are getting ready to play your next track on deck A again. In no time at all, you’ll be mixing like a pro! The VirtualDJ software also features an automatic mixing function, which ensures the adjustment of BPM between tracks and the switch from one deck to the other. This allows you to take a well-deserved break during your mix without having to cut off the music and spoil the mood in the room!.
5.8. Adding effects to a track If you want to call attention to a new track during your mix or prepare your audience for a microphone address, you can add effects to tracks you are playing. - Make sure that the Shift button in your DJ Control MP3 e2's Loops/Fx section is lit up (if it is not lit up, press the Shift button to turn it on). - Press button 1, 2, 3 or 4 to add the corresponding effects in VirtualDJ. Note: in VirtualDJ, other effects can be set for buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4 by clicking . 5.9.
Forward Scratch ENGLISH You must do a forward scratch and then quickly lower the volume to its minimum setting before doing a backward scratch to return to the initial position and restore the volume. Only the forward scratch will be audible. Backward Scratch DEUTSCH ESPAÑOL ITALIANO NEDERLANDS Pass-Pass The Pass-Pass is not a scratch technique, strictly speaking, since it uses the scratch as well as other elements (pitch, cross fader, etc.) to create new effects.
6. CONFIGURATION IN MIDI MODE Your DJ Control MP3 e2 can function as a MIDI controller: the buttons, knobs, faders and jog wheels can send MIDI signals that will then be interpreted by MIDI-capable software. In software that accepts MIDI commands, you must select your DJ Control MP3 e2 as the MIDI controller.
