DJs play other people&#8217;s music, right? Maybe not. Look\u00a0at the DJ software loaded onto your laptop or all that equipment you&#8217;ve sunk money into over the years. All of that stuff is actually an instrument. When you use it to mix, build playlists, fiddle with effects, you&#8217;re actually playing an instrument. Granted, your instrument doesn&#8217;t look anything like a guitar, a keyboard, or an acoustic drum set. But, you use your equipment in similar ways that musicians use traditional instruments. You use your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mp3poolonline.com\/blog\/red-bull-soundclash-dj-rafik-nails-it\/\">software and equipment to make new sounds and new rifts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ableton is paying tribute to you with an article that looks at exactly how the music studio \u2013 including a DJ booth \u2013 is actually an instrument. So, if anyone tells you you&#8217;re not a real musician, you can tell them that you are. It&#8217;s just that the instruments you use look different.
