Dj Set review 2

Second DJ set review

During my second Dj set, a lot of my songs stopped playing, were clipping and chopped the audio. This made me panic a bit during my performance so getting onto the next song took a bit longer than i had hoped but after watching my set i feel my recovery wasn't as long as I thought. I liked the way i used some of the effects however next time i will want you use a wider range within reason. Furthermore next time i will ensure the songs i play will work beforehand to prevent and mistakes in the set. In addition i will take on the advise and practice switching between songs to keep the energy and make the transitions smooth.
In my DJ set I used effects such as the flanger, the reverb polar and beat slicer, throughout my set I mainly used the flanger, however i did use the reverb on certain songs. In addition I also used the high, low and mid filters, i think this worked well however i think should use less of this during my sets.

Research Plan

Research Plan

What is your project?

My project is an E.P of three tracks which will individually based off of; Miles Davis for the first track, Nina Simone for the second and Herbie Hancock for the last. I will research these individual artist, the origins of jazz and how jazz has evolved.

What do you need to research and why? 

I will research Miles Davis, Nina Simone and Herbie Hancock, I will look into their chord progressions, bass lines and melodies and take influence from their songs and use it in my E.P. I will research the origins of Jazz so I know why it was so big with the previous generation, which artists made it the genre so big and how Jazz has evolved and changed to fit into the current generation. I will also look at how the artists had their songs mixed and how they structured their songs.

Where and How can you find this information?

I can find these resources, through articles both online and offline, books, interviews, album sheets, previous reviews on albums, biographies and research that has already been done.
