A Computer DJ is defined as a DJ who uses a computer or laptop to play digital audio digital music usually .wav or .mp3 encoded audio files to a public crowd. As well as a laptop or computer, MIDI controller s are also used to provide a more tactile, and useful interface for control of DJ Software by providing physical controls similar to those of record decks or CDJ s and DJ mixer s. External Hard Disk Drive s and Audio Interfaces Sound Card s are also commonly utilized. By using a sound card with multiple stereo outputs, or two sound cards, a Computer DJ can use a conventional DJ mixer by routing one software deck out of one sound card into one channel of the mixer, and likewise for the other deck. Some DJ software packages allow a single stereo channel to be broken into two mono outputs which correspond to two player decks. Most DJ Software allows the integration and manipulation of external audio inputs, and this has encouraged many DJs who have previously only used Vinyl or CDs to integrate a laptop into their setup. Computer controllers can also be plugged in via a USB port for the convenience of their moving controls like knobs and sliding buttons in order to control the software in realtime. The setup allows for a single audio output from the sound card to the amplifier powered speakers. The controller is beneficial also with scratching, smoother pitch & crossfading adjustments, and overall ease of performing functions as opposed to mouse controlled DJ software operation. Computerized Performance System a CPS can be programmed to manipulate audio and or video, symbols, perform complex and repetitive mixing procedures quickly, precisely and reliably for recorded or live performance. CPS systems don t jump like traditional Compact discs. Computer DJ ing has become popular with many professional electronic artist.
