kut_class Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I;ve noticed n laod of vids that lots of sick DJ's seeem to have huge mirrors setup behind their decks ? I'm wondering why though ? It is a performance thing , so you can see what the audience see kinda thing , or is it any good for improving technique ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phology Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 mirrors create an illusion of more space.. maybe the DJ was really shit so they had to make it look like there was more people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chee Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I remember reading somewhere that some guys use it when they're trying to copy stuff off vids and DVDs, where the DJ is cutting opposite to how they cut (left hand fader or vice versa). WIth the mirror, they try to mimic exactly what they see on the vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decisive Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i just think it's more fun than staring at the wall from that close. plus, one nice dj does it, so does everyone. it becomes part of the schema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blak Randy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have a mirror there but nothing to do with technique or anything like that. I just think staring at a blank wall for hours is shit and it creates an ilussion of more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dextrous Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Better than looking at a wall. Lets you watch your own techniques from the front. If you're cutting with others it allows you to see exactly what they're doing without leaning over their shoulder and generally getting in the way. It allows you to rehearse for stage presence if you're interested in that sought of thing. If you ever perform on stage you ought to be. Because it's double cool as fuck obviously.
