Bose Speakers For DJs

Bose l1 model2

For smaller-to-larger spaces with audiences of up to 500.

The premier Bose® L1 loudspeaker system for Djs and musicians with our smoothest, most consistent sound coverage and most powerful tone-shaping tools. Lightweight and modular, this sleek system fits easily into a car trunk and takes just a few minutes to set up.

Light and easy

The L1 Model II power stand weighs only 24 pounds, and its four retractable legs make it very easy to transport and set up. The power stand also has a simplified control section; the single line-level input can be used with instruments, mics, mixers, laptops, MP3 players or DVD systems.

All of the system’s components are also built to handle the road. The loudspeaker has a rugged, reinforced grille, and each package includes padded carrying bags for major components.

For Djing make sure you get two B1 bass modules.

More info and reviews on  Bose L1 Model II System

Great for one man shows and portability. Good for parties and weddings in ballrooms. Where loudness is not the important thing but quality and the clients can dance and talk to each other.

There is an excellent forum for the Bose L1 systems here, but make sure you go to the DJs section.

One of the most frequent comments is “I can’t believe how CLEAR the sound is!”

Ok, these PAs are not for those who are looking for the ‘loud’ power. If you do then I would recommend the QSC HPR series which are excellent in sound and lots of power!

Cheers

DJ Tip – A Remix Method

DJ Tip

A DJ Tip On DJ Production

This is only a briefing and is not a blueprint.

So how do we go about making our own tracks?

The two easiest forms of music making and getting recognized is by DJ mash-ups and DJ bootlegs.

  • A bootleg is a track of two different complementary tracks,  for an example : DJ Gauffe  with Britney Spears ‘Oops I Did It Again’ and Eminems  ‘The Real Slim Shady’.
  • A mash-up is  a track updated with original elements added to the song, for an example : Mylo vs The Miami Sound Machine ‘Dr Pressure’.

Most DJs do it, there are even albums dedicated to bootlegged music.

The art of DJing is to do with the artist and not the gear or software.

The software and gear are just tools for creating your thoughts.

Judging when and what goes  with what  is part of the art.

It is also very hard to distinguish a DJ performance from a DJ improvisation to a DJ composition.

So why mash ups or bootlegs?

  • There is a great following for both, lots of people love music mixes and different styles added to tracks. For an instance there are many versions of  Depeche Mode ‘ Enjoy The Silence’ like Linkin Park’s version is a great one.
  • A lot of work has already been done for you so you don’t have to spend so much time creating tracks from scratch.
  • You already have a ready made audience.
  • You can get quite popular from making these remixes BUT also getting into trouble with the authorities over the sample copyright clearances, so always be sure about the copyrights.

To be Continued.

Experimenting is key!

Taking A Break

Taking A Break In A Radio Studio

Music is food for the soul and to be happy for no reason!

I dropped the ‘past’ baggage and am living ‘now’, enjoying the beach life and playing listening music. I seem to be spiritually happier now than I was.

But one thing is still in battle with me is cancer. Trying to make peace with it.

Contact directly to me here .

Thanks.

Love And  Peace
