The DJ Handbook 2nd Edition
Written by a working DJ who's been there and done that, The
DJ Handbook is an essential read for every DJ.
You'll find advice on choosing equipment (microphones,
decks, cartridges, headphones, speakers and the rest), as
well as setting it all up and getting the best sound out of
it--whatever the venue!
But
there's more to being a successful DJ than just playing
records--don't forget you're putting on a show. Charles
Slaney gives some hands-on advice on transport, setting up
your sound system at the gig, dealing with punters, looking
after safety and troubleshooting your equipment.
And don't forget to take care of business--be organised. DJ
contracts help avoid disputes--we show you how with some
sample contracts you can use for your own gigs.
But, hey--DJ'ing is supposed to be fun, and it is--wow those
clubbers with some creative DJ mixing--follow our step by
step guide to producing killer mixes.
DJ'ing has been the first step on the success ladder for
many radio presenters, DJ/producers and TV personalities, so
find out how to develop your career whether it's through
hospital radio, local radio presenting or record production.
You'll also find a resources section to help you locate DJ
master mixes, DJ magazines, websites and DJ information, as
well as lists of equipment suppliers.

you want to be!
