DJ & AUDIO GLOSSARY

Contingency track

A ready audio file used when a programme gap or delayed cue needs coverage. A contingency track keeps the room comfortable when a speech runs long or a cue is delayed.

Why it matters when you plan

Knowing Contingency track helps you brief energy, timing and transitions clearly, instead of leaving those choices to guesswork on the night.

How to use it in the brief

  • Say where Contingency track matters — which segment or moment.
  • Give an example the DJ can act on, not just the term.
  • Note any preference or boundary you already have.
