A DJ, or disc jockey, is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience. The music is often played on a radio but can also be played at a club, party, or event. The DJ uses a mixing console to seamlessly blend one song into another, creating a continuous flow of music. They may also engage with the audience through conversation, requests, and dedications. A club DJ may also incorporate scratching and other turntable techniques to alter the sound of the music.
The term “interface DJ” is not widely recognized or used in the music industry. It’s possible that it could refer to a DJ who specializes in mixing different genres or styles of music, creating a unique sound that interfaces between different audiences. However, without more context, it’s difficult to provide a more specific definition.

A DJ controller, unlike a traditional DJ mixer, already has built-in pre-amplification and does not require an external amplifier. The audio signals from the DJ controller are typically strong enough to connect directly to a pair of speakers or a speaker system. However, if you notice any low volume issues, an external pre-amplifier or equalizer could potentially help, but an amplifier is generally not needed. Always check the specifications of your particular DJ controller and the sound system you’re connecting it to ensure compatibility.

An audio interface and a mixer serve different purposes in a audio recording or live sound setup.
An audio interface is a device that connects your computer to various kinds of audo equipment, like microphones, guitars, and speakers. It provides a means to convert the analog signals from these devices into digital data that your computer can process, and vice versa. This is essential for recording audio onto a computer or using a computer to process and alter audio.
A mixer, on the other hand, is a device that takes multiple audio signals, adjusts their levels and frequencies, and then combines them into a single or multiple output signals. It allows you to balance the levels of different inputs, apply equalization and other effects, and send the resulting signal to various outputs. In a live sound setting, a mixer is often used to manage the signals from multiple microphones and instruments to create a balanced final sound that’s then sent to the PA system

A DJ controller is a piece of equipment that a DJ uses to mix and blend different tracks of music. It usually has a variety of knobs, faders, and buttons to control the volume, pitch, and other parameters of the music. Some DJ controllers also have effects and samples built in, allowing the DJ to add more variety to their mixes. The DJ controller is often connected to a computer running DJ software, which provides the music and other features for the DJ to use.
