Part 3/6:
DJ Controllers: These devices are vital for controlling the DJ software. They typically feature inputs for speakers and headphones, allowing you to listen to tracks while preparing to mix.
DJ Software: Most of the heavy lifting is done by the software, which analyzes the songs and creates a Beat Grid, helping you visually understand the structure and timing of the tracks.
Decks and Mixer: A typical DJ setup includes two decks (for two different tracks) and a mixer (to blend them). Each deck will have features such as Play/Pause buttons, Cue buttons, Tempo faders to control BPM, and Jog Wheels for speeding up or slowing down tracks.
