Setting Up DJ Mixers

Video Transcript

"Welcome back to Expert Village. I am DJ Shy and I'm going to explain to you about the mixer. Now mixers again, vary in price depending on your needs. This is a Pioneer mixer and pretty much it's a little bit pricey only because it has these special effects that are optional. These delay echo filter flanger, flazer, robot, they're all different effects. But basically a basic mixer must contain channel volumes which look like this. A cross feeder that looks like this. Master level for the master volume. Headphone levels for the volume of the head phone. So these are the basic, basic items that you must have on a mixer. The rest is optional. Basically, a mixer enables you to play the record for the public to hear. You can go from one record to the other record with the mixer. Now this channel volume applies to this side of the turn table. The right channel volume for the right turn table. The left channel volume for the left turn table. Cross feeder means this is what the public hears is the cross feeder. So if you have it all the way to the right, the public is going to hear the song on the right turntable. If you have it in the middle, their going to hear both. If you have it all the left, their only going to hear the song playing on the left turn table. So this is your basic mixer."
