Alex Rosner began his love affair with sound in the golden age of hi-fi - and by the early ‘70s had pioneered the first stereo soundsystem in clubs.
Alex Rosner has plenty of tricks for people interested in clear, loin-vibrating sound reproduction in this lecture from the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy - but when we say, “That’s magic,” he says, “That’s just ordinary basic principles.”

You’re likely to hear his name mentioned in connection with the success of legendary New York clubs such as David Mancuso’s The Loft, but you might not know he radically changed the world of DJing when he came up with the prototype for another new gadget - a friendly little mixer with a cueing system called Rosie.

This man breathe life into the origins of big city club sound systems around the world! If they weren't no Alex Rosner, they will be no Richard Long, Bozak, Urei, GLI, Clubman, GSA, SBS, EAW, etc.. Especially for DJ's like Mancuso, Levan, Siano, Benitez, Vega, Humphries, Knuckles, Morales..etc! RESPECT!!!
Its basicly a great lesson and its free. Its saddening sometime that not many people know about this important topic, especialy for venue owner and DJ :(
Original version of the Numark Axis 8 sitting there... sans its DAC low-pass filter that gave it a ski jump frequency response. Put a moving coil cart on that turntable and you're in business. Man, I wish they'd spent more time talking to Rosner about stuff more advanced than "what's a frequency?"
...yup, agree, such a stupid question...
Thanks for putting it up, an inspiration!
The sad part is,we have no underground clubs and residencies,just folks giving an opinion about the past.It's long overdue to have people produce instead of simply make claims.This crowd these days are satisfied with button pushing,Mp3 sound,Beats level headphones,and DJs sometimes doing more dancing than people in the crowd.So now,the majority do not acknowledge the origins of the scene they enjoy today...Love what he said about that expensive cables and other snake oil BS,pretending that people going to a club to dance care...
DJ doing more dancing than the crowd.. 😆
@@norakat I mean really..I went dancing many times and never even looked at the DJ, much less having to watch the DJ do backspins, flips, mime, juggle bowling pins, cook BBQ,and try to DJ at the same time..
@@michaels5166 Yeah, that's ridiculous. Yet there is no harm with a DJ who enjoys dancing. If you can't dance and DJ at the same time, you're in the wrong trade. Love what you do, and it'll show. Don't act like a freak but more your feet.
So much to take in. I really appreciate this. Guess half of his knowledge was missed by his young and giggly crowd. They should watch it again a bit later on in life...

One solution about your hearing,is to have an enclosed booth where you can control the sound yourself.From there,you can momentarily what the crowd hears,make adjustments,mix,and then turn the monitors way down.My hearing is just as good as 40 years ago...
Some early clubs did do that, but if that was better for connecting with the crowd and getting into the vibe, it would have continued
@@pooramateurvideo I didnt say an enclosed booth was better for connecting with the crowd,i said It protected the DJ's hearing. It didnt even ned to be totally enclosed,just far enough away from direct contact with your ears,like at Empire skating rink,and yes,I had been in the booth spinning.
28:00 is he talking about Larry Levan?
Yep..
doubt it. Larry could do what he pleased at the Garage. He was the party. It was probably any number of replaceable nyc area resident djs in the decades which followed
DANLEY SOUND…. Their horns produce a lot of the octaves…. Basically a 3 way speaker all in on horn appature
PRAISE KING JESUS IN MY OPINION ALL DJS SHOULD BE SOUND ENGINEERS BUT MOST OF THEM JUST WANT TO PLAY AND DON'T CARE ABOUT SOUND QUALITY I WILL CONTINUE TO LEARN ABOUT SOUNDSYSTEMS AND DJING ❤
What a terrible interviewer.. many people can explain the basics of the physics of sound. You brought him down to explain these things?! You’re wasting his time
Edit: But he told some good stories toward the end and did cover some interesting stuff. Im glad Red Bull produced it. 👍😬
Yeah for the first bit he seems to not follow the rather common terminology being used and continues to ask for increasingly generalized and vague explanations of random things, my favorite quote of the interviewer being "what is a frequency?" No prior context needed as there wasn't much of it during the video 😂 loved the guy being interviewed though he rolled with it and shared some very interesting and informative experiences!
Oh and if you think you're the best DJ,you probably do not feel you need to progress,and might even suck...
I've been a DJ for 30 years and I still have a lot to learn. That's why I'm here.
