FROM DJ JOHN FRANCIS:
There is no question that the careful and clean reproduction of your music is critical to your performance and it is my most important goal and responsibility. So there are a few things we can do to make your dance proceed smoothly.
The most abundant form of music is a burned CD with your selections on it. For best results you should burn the CD in AIFF format and you should burn it at a slow burn rate. Set the burn rate to 16X or less. Keep track of the burn rate and note it on your CD so that I may use it as a reference. It is a good idea to provide a 2nd CD as back up.
Another reliable form of media is a music device like an iPod™ or other mp3 player. Simply create a “playlist” with your music in place. Make a playlist with only the music for your performance . Use a clear identification in its title. This music device should be given to the sound engineer WITHOUT A CASE. The case may prevent the mini jack from making good contact. iPhones are Not Recommended.
Please be sure to turn off things like password access, or any messaging app that may cut off the music. My patch cables will do the rest!
LP’s, Eight-Tracks and Wax Cylinders are strongly discouraged. Strongly!
Be prepared to talk directly with the sound engineer when you arrive with your music – there may be questions only you can answer.
If you have multiple tracks and there is “dancer staging” in between, be sure to provide adequate time in your playlist segue.
It is also important for me to know…
- the number of tracks that make up your performance, and the number of songs on that track
- if you wish the music to begin after you have taken position ON STAGE, or if you want your music to begin while you are OFF STAGE.
This information along with any special instructions should be included on paper along with your music media.
PLEASE Note: regarding iPods, iPhones and other mp3 players
- Remove from case
- turn off password lock out
- Disable message alerts
- It is helpful if your device displays the progress of the track being played
So lets dance!
Johnny!
