Let's start with the idea that
you can be your own DJ and you
will DJ your own dance party. We can start with a small social or casual event. One
where the expectations are about having a good time and dancing. Since the basics always begin
with knowing your guests you probably are already off to a good start. Your
first party might not include video or lighting but it can have a good mix of
memorable music. This party assumes a computer and a sound system. Certainly we
could play good music with a simple iPod or or mp3 player but we will start with
a computer because we had a lot more power and options available and this is
your base to grow from. Perhaps you already have the music you need or maybe you
need some help there....more to come...
Actually we can assemble and stream you a pretty credible party. Good music, marquee titling and your choice of images. You still control the creative content, including music, marquee and images. With a fast internet connection your party will run from any computer, any place, any time or download to a local computer in advance. Either way your biggest job, on party night, is to manage the start/stop button.
You are in control of this party and the atmosphere is contagious. The energy peaks and ebbs but
the mood is consistently upbeat. By the end of the evening it will be
apparent that everyone had a great time. This is a party you can do on a
regular basic and it's relaxing. Most of your preparation was done
before the party started. Your dancers have a heads up on upcoming
dances, you have queued several requests and you decided to scroll title
and artist on the marquee. Everything is under control, have queued
several requests and you have time to dance yourself. We recommend
Dancing DJ and a large screen
TV or a projector.
Your job is to manage a large party and coordinate music, images, video and
lighting. You know this party is well organized with a lot of general dancing,
some mixers, a great showcase performances and a chance to use the ever popular
Lotto Roll for several door
prizes. Your playlist is full of great music, some neat images, a poster
announcing another big upcoming event and you are anxious to see the reaction to
the hot new MTV you just downloaded. At 10PM you have programmed the house lights to slowly dim and
scheduled a particular song that will set a new mood. Shortly after this your showcase performers are scheduled and want their music and lighting exactly so with the lighting synced to their choreography.
Everything looked great in rehearsal, it's canned now and will be exciting to see.
Everything is going smooth it looks like a good time to scroll a marquee message on the
mystery ear ring.
Will you be ready? Our recommendation is Dancing DJ and Light Boogie sc running on two separate computers. While either computer could handle music, lights and even the video having two computers on-line, talking and synched, gives you a sense of control and non-stop assurance. You think 'It doesn't get any better than this'.
All this might sound harder than it really as. While it is an
impossible load for a single dj it is actually quite simple for a
computer. Here is an example dance party of moderate complexity. First a picture of the
dance facility, second the Marquee, third the mixer and computer running Dancing DJ and finally
in the video you will see a second networked computer that handled general
lighting as well as synching the lights to Dancing DJ.
