Additional Questions and Answers
Cyd Scott is a Sound Technician.

Why hire a Disc Jockey who is also a Sound Technician?
Because he or she will make sure that you have the right quality of sound at the appropriate level.
The Sound Quality and Sound Level can have a dramatic effect on your event.

Aren’t all Disc Jockeys also Sound Technicians?

No. Sadly, most Disc Jockeys are not sound technicians. Because of this, they don’t understand the dynamics between space and sound. Sound pressure levels are too complex for most DJ’s.
What does that mean to me?

Here is one example:
We’ve all experienced this scenario. You’re at an event sitting at a table trying to talk to the people around you but you are shouting and the people across from you can’t hear you at all. A Sound Technician can make the music loud enough to dance to while simultaneously, making it comfortable for people to speak to one another.
