The digital dj on a budget has been murdered. I have overheard people talking about their parties, and they lament the fact you cannot get a good dj. Lets not forget the crashing windows operating system because the computer is not correctly optimised, and the manufacturer has filled it with bloatware. Quality has fallen off the mp3 cliff, but it need not be like that.

That is one reason why the digital dj has been a bit of a joke. Are world is full of screwed up, and castrated mp3's. Take no notice of this guy.and use your ears. Use the frequency analyser, and learn about the patterns that represent good sound.

The frequency analyser will tell you if the mp3 is truly 320kb/s, or a 256, 192,160, or 128 in disguise. Some remixes use a combination of different quality 'songs' mashed together. Some old songs that are sold as mp3 are only equivalent to 160kb/s cbr. 'The biggest problem with mp3 will indeed be if the mp3's you use do not come from a reliable source' This is the problem! Even an online source can supply inferior quality mp3's, and the situation is worse with low quality mp3's which have been resampled to 320kb/s.

Talent, and not money will be your entry ticket in the future DJ world. Good luck, in particular to the struggling young dj's who cannot afford Pioneer equipment to learn on, and hence entry into the elite dj world. Decks, and cd's cannot match what Atomix offers the DJ world. You now may be a match for a good club dj, but with the advantage of vdj 8, I would say you're superior. This program is also available for Windows.and always use your ears to finally check the mp3's quality. I use MP3 Diags on a linux system to eliminate these problems. 2) OK so we have an mp3 which looks good in the spectrum analyser, however there are still a multitude of errors which can be hidden in the file which cause mp3 skipping, and poor sound quality. Don't assume that you bought it, and it's just good. Anyway: 1) If you have a mp3 ripped to the top quality of 320kb/s cbr it must be very good? Wrong! If you check it with a spectrum analyser like the free Speck then you might find it's a rubbish mp3! Remember that what the mp3 is made from is the most important factor. I believe a 320kb/s cbr mp3 can equal cd quality. Most of you understand that mp3 file quality varies, and that mp3 is the adopted standard, which even I use, though I believe there are better formats. OK lets do it, let's have a level playing field.
