Both top DJs Melbourne in Victoria Australia and beginner DJs can make mistakes during a set. However, amateur DJs make more mistakes than professional DJs. Perfection comes with experience. A lot of DJs do not realise that there are other things that must be considered after perfecting mixing and beat-matching. Nobody is perfect but DJ mistakes should not happen repeatedly. Here are some of the most common DJ mistakes you should avoid.

Ignoring red lights

This is the most common mistake DJs make and it drives many DJs nuts. If you notice red lights on your amplifiers, mixer or any other equipment, it is crucial to act immediately and correct it. We understand that there is a lot of leeway on most mixers and a few reds may not cause serious problems but it is always good to prevent this just in case.

The best DJs in Victoria Australia understand that when they see reds they are risking damage to their expensive equipment including speakers and amplifiers. Red lights also indicate that you are causing speaker distortion and this will sound bad for the crowd and will take its toll on your mixing.

You will most likely have an engineer working alongside you. If you fail to correct the red lights, the only option for the sound engineer is to turn you down so that they don’t lose their job. If the mistake gets back to the owner then you could lose your job.

Going straight in the most popular songs

Most top DJs Melbourne in Victoria Australia have the experience and they rarely commit this mistake. However, amateur DJs like to start with the impression that they are the best. They get excited and play all their biggest bangers straight in. This will not work because a DJ needs to warm the crowd slowly and start off with songs that build anticipation.
