Current DJ News

Well, the DJ world is finally going digital.

(DJAP) May 2, 2005

It's about time in our humble opinion, as the tools have been available for some time. The newest generation of software available is now better than ever, the choices many, and the availability of legal MP3 downloads and ripping services has made the transition even easier than when we went from vinyl to CD.

Many people are using Napster, iTunes and others to download their tracks, but more seem intent on doing the ripping themselves from their own CD collections and monthly subscriptions. Tools like AudioGrabber and MusicMatch make it a breeze to rip your own CD's into MP3 format now, and have up to date information from the various CD databases such as CDDB (Gracenote) and FreeDB.

It's up to you to pick the tools of your trade, but the choices have never been better and more varied. The longer you wait, the longer the catch up period will be - just as those who held out for so long to switch to CD. There will certainly always be the purists who prefer the touch of vinyl on their turntables, but for the rest of us, the time has come to move beyond...

We'll be presenting a series on switching to digital shortly - using the experience of some of the best names in the business. Check out ComputerDJSoftware.Com for the latest DJ software reviews and release notes.

CPSDJ Certification is underway.

(DJAP May 1, 2005)

As you know, we have not had any professional certification in our industry, and this is a great start to bringing the kind of confidence to our clients that they deserve. We've provided a link above so you can get more information.

If you are serious about DJ'ing, you should seriously consider having professional credentials behind your name. We are familiar with a number of the people involved in this project, and know them to be true to their word in wanting to bring about a more professional and prosperous DJ community. They also have years and years of experience to draw upon and set forth standards that will set you apart from the everyday disc jockey. This is not one of those "send us your money" schemes, that take your hard earned cash and give you nothing in return but talk. This is a bona-fide endorsement, and you have to pass the test and meet the requirements in order to be certified.

Your customers will know you are a tried and true Jock when they see those initials behind your name!

Stay tuned for more info, as we are moving our site into the 21st century, and join in our forums and share your experiences and the like. There's a link at the top to the forums.

Thank You for visiting DJAmerica, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
