“DeeJay” the word has become very popular over time. DJing involves Spinning the disc, mixing the songs with beat-matching. A good DeeJay should make people around groove to the music being played.

 

Turntables, CDJ’s, Mixers are some of the equipments which a DeeJay will use to mix and add effects to the existing songs. Cue, Pitch, Tempo, Flange, Reverb are some of the common DJ Jargons. Cue is the process by which the DeeJay places the marker in the CD. This marker helps in starting the song from the desired time. Usually, this Cueing is done in the starting of every first octet in the song. The next common word is “Beat-Matching”. DJ has to beat match both the songs -between the song which is playing currently and the next song which the DJ cued.
