Bluetooth for DJs, rotary mixers, cheap DJ controllers // Podcast

Join Phil Morse and the students of the Digital DJ Tips school, as they look at three burning topics in the world of DJing. EPISODE NOTES A very tech-oriented edition of the show this time. We're looking at new Bluetooth features that have been added to DJ equipment and asking when DJs should be using these, and when they should not. We're also looking at the whole subject of rotary mixers because AlphaTheta, formerly Pioneer DJ, has just launched a mixer called the Euphonia, which is an extremely high-end (and very expensive mixer), utterly different to anything they've ever made before, being a rotary mixer, isolator, and effects unit that looks like it belongs to a different age. Our discussion talks about the legacy of rotary mixers and how they ended up being the way they are. Finally, we asked, have cheap DJ controllers had their day? To answer this question, we look back at the evolution of digital DJ equipment and how the equipment that you find in DJ booths and the equipment that you find in bedrooms has slowly been converging over the years, to the point where high-end gear of all types pretty much does everything nowadays. However, as you'll see, we do think there is still an important place for entry level DJ gear. As ever, this pod is supported 100% by the students of Digital DJ Tips, and it was recorded in a live webinar with lots of student feedback. If you enjoy it and you can, please do give us a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts. It really does make a difference. Want to get your question answered on an episode of this podcast?
