Even the most professional DJ Melbourne city in Victoria make mistakes. However, some mistakes are avoidable. Such errors can cost DJ bookings and because they are so easy to avoid, it is better to nip them in the bud before they damage our careers. In this blog post, we will give you the heads up on how to avoid some of these common technical errors.

Not packing your gear properly

So you have bought your dream gear; why risk ruining it in transit to an event? Most DJs will just put the controller or mixer in the back of their car. Transportation can be rough and this can damage your gear. Buy a DJ bag that is designed to store DJ gear. This will ensure that your equipment fits during transport and it reduces the likelihood of it banging around as you transport it.

Ripping tracks from YouTube

Ripping tracks from YouTube and sharing them via P2P is illegal. It is also unfair to producers. This can ruin the musical experience of your listeners. The ripped tracks may sound fine when you play them at home but they won’t sound fine on a proper sound system. If you want music for professional use, you should get the highest quality available. Lossless formats such as FLAC or WAV are the best.

Relying on USB power from your laptop

Any experienced DJ Melbourne city in Victoria should understand this risk. Your controller may work fine running off USB power but if you can plug it into the mains, it is recommended to do it. This will make the lights on your controller brighter and the output audio will be louder. You can increase the likelihood of your computer crashing if you rely on USB power.
