Commonly
asked questions: WHAT IS A "DJ MIX"? A DJ mix or DJ mixset is a sequence of musical tracks typically mixed together to appear as one continuous track.
A
DJ set is usually performed live in front of an audience or recorded
in a studio and may also be referred to as a liveset (with "DJ
mix" referring more to a studio mix not performed live). In
live situations the progression of the DJ set is a reactionary process.
The DJ chooses tracks partly in response to the activity on the
dance floor. If the dance floor becomes less active, the DJ will
make a judgement as to what track will increase dance floor activity.
This may involve shifting the tempo or changing the general mood
of the set. Track choices are also due, in part, to where the DJ
wishes to take his audience. In this way the resulting mixset is
brought about through a symbiotic relationship between audience
and DJ. HOW

DJ
mixes are usually performed using a DJ mixer and multiple sounds
sources, such as turntables, CD players, digital audio players or
computer sound cards, sometimes with the addition of samplers and
effects units, although it's possible to create one using sound
editing software.
