Watch the LED's on your DJ mixer.

If the mixer meters are accurate you should see an increase of around 3dB when both tracks are playing, so it's best to keep each track playing at somewhere between -3dB and 0dB - so when both are playing it's hitting 0dB with peaks around +3dB.

It should be gained to stay at about 0 dB!

I were at a rave, the DJ were terrible! He blew the speakers after 5 minutes. Everything were at full! My head got all scrambled becaouse of the terrible sound!

@navarro310 try to increase the treble and the mid and put your amp lower and turn your bass down :) hope it helps

@briansredd I watched your video, it gave me some good ideas! If I set a track to unity, not only do I not blow speakers resistors etc... the other track will be at the same level coming in :) I tired this and my mixes sounded much cleaner. Thanks for posting that

normaly standard is= "input channel fader set to max you must use gain to max 0db and then when master output volume set to max0db and head volume on the amp on 70% then you are playing loud and clear" all the rest just makes public leave the podium.. and try allways to play music just at level of loud speaking if mobile dj,for the clubs is another story..people like ti loud,BUT not too loud...

Sometimes i play +4db but that really is the max (on my mixer +7db is red)

@Downbeat1984 which is why analog is still superior. Digital distortion is incredibly destructive to amp electronics and speaker systems in general.
Hi J. To set things where you will get the best sound quality, Idealy you should have your MAIN dial at 3 o'clock (or 8 if it's a fader) and your individual Gains should be hitting 0 (in the green and not into the amber) when your fader is set at 8. I did an old video on this, but I'll do a new one.

agree, i find so many people ALWAYS going into the red!, i find the amber is like the safe zone. j
