    I’m just starting out. But I have a mic but working on ideas of things to say to a crowd. I know sometimes using the mic at certain points gets the crowd hype. You can hype up a record and the energy that way.

  • @djexplosive2934
    @djexplosive2934 6 років тому +9

    Thanks for the info bro. Good advice as usual. I too use the mic. The bar owners Always tell me that I'm the only Dj that comes to their spot and interact with the crowd.

    Personally I have the type of personality that allows me to use the mic and enhances my experience. People enjoy a dope freestyle that involves them. I’ll rhyme about the specific club I’m playing at and people love it. As long as you don’t force it and have fun!!!

  • @djgcue

    When you MC just remember to talk on beat! I hate it when MCs can't hype the crowd with the beat, it throws me off when I'm trying to mix.

  • @RyanHoltz
    @RyanHoltz 6 років тому +13

    Yo! This is a solid topic! I MC a ton of events and all I can say is, think of an MC as a traffic director. A good MC keeps the movement of the event going, but does not distract it. Def you have to observe and assess the crowd you are talking too. To all you DJ's, go MC and get your chops wet! 🎤🎙📣

  • @djbis
    @djbis 5 років тому +2

    Great advice. Thank you.
    I also find that because I am not really all that great on the mic and really rely on my hands being on the turntables to create energy, having some type of mic stand or gooseneck that holds my microphone close by really helps in my performance. I can hit them with real quick ad-libs that keep me connected to the flow and the experience the room is living without having to leave my faders/platters which makes me more efficient in delivering whatever it is that I want to say. Having my hands be free to work and the mic close-by for quick/on-the-spot interactions has helped me get better on the mic (just due to the way I dj). It works differently for everyone. those are my 2cents. 👋🏻

  • @duboi1475
    @duboi1475 6 років тому +7

    I like MCs at Hip Hop shows & some DnB shows, But I’ve definitely seen instances where an event was Over MC’d or just poorly done. I’m No MC...I’ll use Drops or An A cappella of another MC before I personally grab the Mic lol. Just Don’t like the way my voice sounds Unless singing and then only in the shower or to my girl 😂😂
    But as a spectator I would definitely say in moderation it can definitely add to a set & if over done it can destroy a set.
    Another great vid homie. You’re an inspiration to us all.

    • @djTLMtv

      But you’re right bro, too much MC’ing is annoying to say the least. I will tell an MC to tone it down during my set if it’s too much

      Well, I can tell you that the Shure SM58 (or a wireless version of that mic) are probably the most used stage mics for artists and DJs. That’s the mic I’ve seen on most stages and clubs in the last 28 years. There is also one Sennheiser mic that I’ve seen and used a lot, but I forgot the model number

    Hy . I am in despair. My DDJ-RZX outputs the microphone on master and I can hear it on the stereo system connected with chinch. However, I can't hear it on the streaming software OBS when I want to stream. My Controller Software is of course Recordbox. Do you have a tip on what the problem could be? Kind regards from Germany.

      I don’t know. Say what you want to say. All I can add is: look at your crowd. If you’re doing disco gigs and the crowd is 40+, they probably won’t enjoy a screaming overly hyped DJ ;)

    • @DJActionVasquez
      @DJActionVasquez 5 років тому +1

      Talk some shit here and there about how good it was back in the disco days / how this was real music / who came to boogie? (or other 1970's phrases to joke with) / hype up certain people in the crowd / talk about how hot the club or the crowd is / every once in a while say a little of one of the lyrics -- like one bar's worth
      Yeah stuff like that.
