	Visual DJ
		I’ve observed that DJs tend to get very bogged down in the technical details of their craft, and as a result are not able to concentrate on the aesthetic portions.
		Phrasing requires an understanding of the structure of the music, and using it requires a deep memory of the structure of thousands of songs already played.
		The DJ is shown a list of music that he has identified as sounding good with the current song (song #1-3).

	Disc Jockey 101: Tip of the Month
		Let's call the above 32 beat segment a "phrase." By "phrasing," a DJ is starting the intro exactly at the beginning of a segment and matching it to the outro of a song with the same number of beats (i.e., 32 beat outro).
		For example, if a DJ starts to beat match a song with a 32 beat intro into a song with a 16 beat outro, the change at the 17th beat of the outro may ruin the mix (particularly if the intro was noticeable).
		If the DJ mixed out of the song with the 16 beat outro, then the remaining 16 beats of the intro will most likely consist of just drums, which will most likely drop the energy level.

		I used to dj RandB in the early 80's, always had an interest in Latin and in 92 someone organized a big Latin extravaganza and had booked a "prima donna" dj, who at the last hour demanded double the fee, in desperation the organizers turned to me knowing I had the music and was available.

	The DJ
		I've been to dances where the DJ played one predominant type of swing music, because the DJ had just "discovered" a particular era or genre of swing music and wanted to "educate" the audience on their "discovery".
		A DJ needs to have a certain amount of knowledge of the many different types and genres of swing music, and of course, have the actual music on hand to play (although no DJ could possibly have every swing song ever recorded!).
		Perhaps the toughest job for a DJ is to ensure that, along with variety of tempos and genres, there is also the proper amount of flow and contrast in the Playlist.

		With music emphasis given to particularly the first, last, and bridal dance songs, the public introduction of the wedding party is often an overlooked aspect of a DJ's reception responsibilities.
		Since the announcement of the bride and groom's chosen circle is usually the first contact between a DJ and the audience, it can play an integral role in establishing the tone for the event and developing a rapport with the guests.
		Listen to radio personalities, commercial voice-over artists and news anchors to observe how they inflect on certain words and syllables, modulate their phrasing and create the sense that they are not reading copy but conversing with you.

	Phrasing - dnbforum.com
		Phrasing is the part of mixing that deals with when you start and subsequently mix in the records.
		Most dance music has 16, 32, and 64 bar phrases - therefore, when mixing records, you want to start the second record at the beginning of the live record's phrase.
		For example, after the drop, that is generally the beginning of a phrase of that record, so that is a good point to begin the second record.

	An Opera for Four Fusion Works, Act Two: "Phrasing the Air"
		Like "Echoes of Steel," the tracks on "Phrasing the Air" are labeled only by Roman numerals (often out of numerical order).
		"Phrasing the Air" is a surprising departure for VidnaObmana, and continues the Opera in a most auspicious way.
		While no track could be considered "easy" listening (or "fusion," or "opera," for that matter), I find this to be one of Obmana's most impressive works of the last five years.

		When you play a phrase with legato and detached notes, with accents, and pedal nuances, Synful Orchestra responds with realistic sounding slurs, tonguing, and bowing.
		This is the result of many years of research, several patents, and a lifetime of experimentation, design, and frustration with older synthesis technologies.
		This is because it is impossible to achieve realistic musical phrasing for expressive instruments using samplers.
