DJing is blending tracks and parts of tracks to make a cohesive mix. Producing is making the tracks that the DJs are using to mix.

DJing uses CDJs or turntables or whatever. Producing typically involves a computer, a keyboard/midi controller/synthesizer, sound-making modules of some sort(virtual or hardware), etc. YOu don't need CDJs or vinyl to produce.

With producing, you'd spend hours/days/months making a track, then release that 7 minute long or so track. DJing you're constantly playing tracks...so to make a 60 minute mix....it takes 60 minutes.

Note that many DJs end up producing as well, and many producers end up DJing...but they really share nothing in common, and I'd start with one.

So which one do you want to do?

Thanks for that. Hmm, I am kinda fascinated by both but I don't know how to play synths n the rest of it so I guess I am better off by learning to mix. I think it makes more sense as well as you would get the feel of beats and everything more with it. Correct?

Anyways, so yes, I want to learn mixing as of now. So now I need a head start. I read a couple of threads on how to go about it but I still end up confused, can you give me an idea? But one thing I figured out from those threads: I personally prefer Cd's over vinyls. So how should I go about it?

I guess my present goal is to create a mix of my own. Another question, when people create mixes of old tracks, bootlegs and that kind of stuff, that falls under the production category or Djing?

And this Ableton - is it a producing tool or a mixing tool?

Thanks for the input again.

that would fall under djing.. coz ur not creating any new tracks..ur just mixing different tracks and bootlegs together. and i believe ableton to be more of a production tool.

If you make a mix of anything, it's djing, not production. Production is SOLELY when a track is made via programs like Cubase, Reason, Acid, etc. Mixing is taking tracks already made and blending them together with seamless transitions so that no one can really tell that the tracks were separate to begin with. There is not any production involved*

*save a little bit for Ableton



Ableton is a sequencing/production program. It's original purpose is to allow multiple samples to be played simultaneously, and altered live to create a harmonic presentation. It can be used, however to take tracks from your computer and edit them within the program, altering basslines, and whatever. It can also beatmatch your tracks perfectly, allowing a dj to spend more time mixing tracks harmonically and editing live.

couldn't say it better myself.

Cool. Thanks a lot again. How much did this setup cost you? I will do some research on these tools so that I know what they can exactly do,

Thank you guys man...

Btw: I am pretty sure I'll have more questions, so just let me know when they start getting annoying .

That makes the most sense to me, since that's how I did it. By playing a lot of other people's tracks, you get a good idea of the kind of track you like too.

Ideally a friend of yours would have some CD players you could mess around on. If this is not the case, I'd just buy two cheap CD players, a cheap mixer, and some closed ear headphones (and obviously speakers if you don't have any). Ebay is always great for this. You don't need great equipment, just something to get a feel for djing on.

Depends on what you mean by mix. When djing, you can beatmatch a track with another track and mix it over top. Typically though, it's done with software and a production type setting, since that's the way to get the best results. But, obviously as a DJ lots of these produced bootlegs are available from producers so you can play them.

quote:
And this Ableton - is it a producing tool or a mixing tool?


Both. Mostly a producing tool. However, many djs use it to blur the lines a little bit between DJing and producing by using it in real time. It sounds like you'd like it, but I would learn to mix the normal way before messing around with it too much.

Hope that helps.
