On March 4, 2007, pvd @ Beijing didn't use a single record at night.
He uses all the digital dj systems, that is, two Apple++midi controllers.
I hosted three parties for him in China, namely kiss in 2002, Candy kiss in 2004 and kiss in Guangzhou in 2006.
You will know when I write all the articles about his application equipment that he performed for the first time in China from 2002 to 2007.
What inspiration does the list of dj equipment of Paul Van Dyk, the world's number one dj, bring to China DJ in the past four performances?
As the first promoter in China in 2002 to use digital dj equipment to vigorously promote the digital dj revolutionary movement storm, djcen was invited by Paul van Dyk to perform in China for three times, and was responsible for the design and live performance of the whole V show. Pvd brings dj not only his music, but also the digital dj system that is popular all over the world. Djcen thinks it is necessary to write all the good memories here, so that professional DJs and fans who like DJs can pay attention to the past, present and future of digital DJs together.
In 2002, kiss in Beijing mainly focused on venue equipment. Before entering the venue, the equipment standards required for the venue were: phonograph 2 technics 1200mk2, Pioneer cdj 1000 and Pioneer djm 500 mixer.
At that time, kiss in Beijing only had cdj 500s, and there was no 1000cd player. I proposed to rent cdj 1000 from the pioneer dealer, but later Paul van Dyk made do with a 500cd player because time was too tight. Paul Van Dyke played 80% records and 20% CDs that night, which shows that Paul Van Dyke was a diehard record player in 2002.
The environment at that time was that as long as there was a party, DJs would be suspected of being sorry to the audience if they didn't use the record player. Paul Van Dyke also had an episode in this Beijing djing. After the party 1 hour or so, the cd player didn't read the disc. If this happens in the current big-name dj scene, it will definitely stop broadcasting. (For example, the famous dj tiesto went on strike because the bass could not reach the sound pressure he needed, which frightened the domestic bosses on the spot. He quickly gave the ultra-low level that originally belonged to the dance floor to this big DJ, which calmed the tiesto strike. )。 The lovely Paul van Dyk took down the cd player on the spot and replaced it by diy, which did not affect the warm atmosphere of the night at all. This shows that pvd, a carpenter, has a solid electrician foundation. This precious scene was also collected by djcen live rec.
2004 Pvd@ Candy: Background information: including world-class dj performances such as Sasha and Pvd. Being invited constantly. At that time, djcen was fully responsible for the design, development and application of all vj vision system software and hardware in candy. At that time, candy was in the heyday of promoting club culture in Beijing.
The dj equipment that Paul Van Dyke carried and applied at that time were: (1 digital DJ final scratch1; 2 17 & amp； Quotg4 power book; 3 process1200mk5; 4 Stanton 890fs stylus; 5 mixer djm 6006 cdj 1000mk2)
Paul Van Dyke used fs 1 for the first time, which reduced the pain of carrying a lot of vinyl records. The proportion of digital DJ 1 and real records and cds in the audience is: digital dj 60%%, record 10% and cd 30% respectively. As can be seen from the above, digital dj has shown the characteristics of portability at that time, which is completely in line with dj's real feeling of relying on record player. When digital dj was born in 2002, fs 1 and reason software were pre-planned as the most anticipated products of 2 1 century dj.
Episode: The scene was very enthusiastic. Fans compete to witness the world dj style. Before the end of the party, pvd spent about half an hour signing warm scenes and looking at photos for fans.
2006 pvd @ Guangzhou yesclub. Background information: At that time, yes was in the state of new renovation and rectification, and djcen was invited to be fully responsible for the design, development and application site of all vj vision system software and hardware of yes. After the transformation, the vj system equipment and visual effects of Guangzhou nightclubs are still in the leading position.
The dj equipment of Paul Van Dyke's performance in Guangzhou includes:
1 digital dj serato；; 2 17 & amp； QuotG4 power book 2; 3 Pioneer efx 2000 Effector; 4 pioneer mixer djm1000; ; 5 software ableton live: 6 British rme external firewire sound card: plus his full-time dj assistant to install and debug his own dj equipment.
Prior to this, the hardcore group of the phonograph completely abandoned the phonograph and cd player, and the whole music used ableton live live remix software.
China's professional dj was very dissatisfied when he got off the stage. Why don't you play the cd player on the record player?
Is this the name of the desc jockey, too?
Djcen replied: desc jockey is actually a past tense. Although there are still many dj friends in China who hold this idea, the fact is that desc jockeys are no longer suitable for DJs of this era. Under the background of the digital age, when global records are languishing and declining, and a large number of mp3 downloads are prevalent on the Internet, the dynasty should have changed long ago. Now the correct meaning of dj should be called digital jockey. Let bygones be bygones, marry this digital dj bride.
Theory of Three Represents of digital dj:
1 phonograph control school, of course, friends who miss the feel of phonograph cd player don't have to worry about digital dj, so that you can control the music in your computer with your live phonograph and cd player.
2.Neo-Neo-Humanism: directly use external midi controller to control software playback. Fully enjoy the fun of the controller.
Absolute software school: without a controller, you need to use a computer to point directly with the mouse. Enjoy the convenience of digital dj.
2007 3 4 pvd @ Beijing, this pvd pushed the application of digital dj to the peak:
The dj equipment of Paul van Dyk's performance in Beijing includes:
1 Allen & ampHeath Xone:3D mixer is a professional mixer integrated with midi controller firewire sound card. 2 17 & amp； quotMAC book pro 2； 3 m audio midi strike pad controller; 2 4 m audio midi keyboards; 5 software ableton live 2 sets: add his full-time dj assistant and install and debug his own dj equipment.
As can be seen from the above, the pvd of the whole scene belongs to the digital dj of ultra-new and new human beings.
After the party, I heard many pvd fans say,' I prefer to listen to pvd than to listen to his single, because many mixed versions I heard on the spot today are not heard on pvd single.'
This fully shows that the advantage of digital dj is that you can get rid of the shackles of shooting and play your imagination at will. As long as you have good ideas, you can achieve them through digital dj. You can mix a live version you want, which is very special and exclusive to you.
