When in the heat of the mix and looking to find that perfect track to keep the energy level peaking, album art can help your brain make a decision faster and more accurately. Sure you can color code tracks in the DEX 3 browser but it’s simply not the same as album art – a visual cue that triggers an immediate response. A large text-based list of music can all run together creating little visual response or connection. I hadn’t put much thought and consideration into how album art can be so very helpful in selecting tracks to play, but I have now: Album art or CD cover art provided a visual reference and visuals can create an emotional and nostalgic response you just don’t get from “blanking and scrolling”, as put it.Įspecially for DJs used to vinyl and CDs, coming to digital – where there’s just a whole list of files in a browser – can take the soul out of owning music. I spent very little time with “traditional” DJ setups such as vinyl and CD’s, instead jumping directly into the digital realm so the visual aspects of selecting music while mixing weren’t yet imprinted on my brain.

There is one point made that I think will hit home for many DJs going Digital:Īdd cover art to your tunes – Especially for tunes you used to own on vinyl or CD, adding the correct cover art (and by correct, I mean the art you remember from your old physical copies) can give you a great visual aid and let you “flick through” your music in the same way you were used to back in the day.
