To achieve the best sound quality during a DJ
performance or recorded mix, make sure you are
getting a good strong signal both in and out of
the mixer, but always take care not to push any
of your levels into the red. This is a simple rule
but one that most DJs are guilty of breaking from
time to time. When the mix is hot and people are
jumping, most DJs want to pump up the volume.
But boosting the channel gain or master volume
into the red will distort your signal, making the
music sound degraded and killing the vibe. In
addition to this, most venues have a master
limiter at the final stage of the signal before it
goes to the house system, so turning up your
mixer past 0db will most likely not have an effect
on your overall volume anyway, it will just make
your music sound squashed. So always
remember: watch your master volume throughout
your set, and make sure to keep the meters from
going into the red by turning down your levels
and/or EQ controls
