A little about the DJ Dancer's
system...
Two
Pentium laptops containing over two thousands songs, a special effects mixer, graphic
equalizer, a five hundred watt sound system
that is crystal clear at any level, a
powerful sub woofer and professional wireless microphones.
Theatrical lighting by Chauvet and the world leader,
Martin. A proformance level electronic
keyboard
and an electronic drum pad. .
- State of the art, all digital computer
based DJ System that allows the DJ to
concentrate on the audience and not be distracted by running the equipment.
- The
play list consists of over two thousand indexed, over sampled, digitally enhanced,
CD quality songs, in MP3
format, stored on two identical Compaq Armada Pentium laptops running Mixmeister
Pro and Sonic Foundry's ACID. Any song can be retrieved instantly
by title, artist, year, genre, style of dance
or beats per
minute so its easy to find the perfect choice
or your request.
Each song is checked and digitally enhanced
using Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge. Even a moldy oldie
will sound great on this
system.
- Being just
a DJ is not enough. The
keyboard and electronic drums adds the elements of a live performance to the
mix. In
addition to playing prerecorded music ripped
from CDs, there are live performance components:
A Korg Triton keyboard
with thousands of real sampled sounds like piano,
human voice, strings, special effects, etc.
The keyboard is used to enhance the perforamnce
which includes prerecorded music. The keyboard
can be used to add special effects or layer
the recorded music. A Roland
Handsonic electonic drum kit with a vast
array of percussion intrument built in is used
for drum solos, mixing songs or adding a stronger
beat to the recorded music. Sonic Foundry's
ACID, a Loop Engine, used by most professional
DJs to create the "house" mixes played
on radio and major clubs, is used as a live
performance tool to add arpeggios and drum riffs
to the mix.
- The equipment is completely redundant
with power conditioning and a UPS. Nothing short
of a complete loss of power will prevent your show from going on. You can be secure
in the knowledge your special event will be a success.
- The
sound system is of the highest, professional quality with a vast array of
special effects from a
Korg Kaoss DJ
Mixer, professional AKG wireless microphones and dual 500 watt
Samson speakers. There is a 250 watt, dual, Sony
sub-woofer
for great bass response that you can really feel. However, DJ Dancer is always
careful never play the music too loud. Also, every room is tuned and set
up for the best
acoustics.
- DJ Dancer is a professional electronics engineer who designs,
understands and maintains his own equipment. In addition he runs his own computer
consulting firm so he is very comfortable with the new digital music domain.
DJ
Dancer worked for the oldest lighting company in America, Kliegl Lighting, for
ten years. He designed digital lighting systems used in Atlantic City at the
Tropicana, Ballys, and Trump Casinos, on Broadway for many hit shows, the discotheque
the Electric Circus and for the ABC News studios. DJ Dancer uses sophisticated,
theatrical lighting techniques and not the typical club lighting used by most
DJs.
