With number 5, you're describing a very simple version of "phrase matching". A lot of genres, including my primary one drum and bass, won't always have perfectly synced intro/outros, but if you know the phrases and how many bars they are, you can do that alignment yourself. Setting up cue points around the phrase alignment can be an extremely helpful tool.

Yea. I hate when you get the nice comfy 8 bar then the next track is a 6 instead and you got to compensate on the fly. Stil haven't mastered that yet but getting better on those transitions. Used to rely strictly on the intros and outros but can usually mix earlier or later depending on those phrases to avoid the long outros to intros.

That big head moment near the end was cool

Anyone else triggered when he didn't beatmatch the two songs at nr. 5?

Love it when DJ’s really enjoy their set, number 5 made me smile, thanks for the tips 🙏

Very Concise & Imformative video! Love jt.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for the video! On a side note, you’re looking great and fit Phil! Keep up the great videos!

I was just waiting for this video😇😇

In the last mix, I’m like ‘ok, he’s gonna show how to use the jog wheel to nudge and catch up to the other song’ but nope; it stayed a hair behind.

Thanks for your amazing tutorials mate.Your just a great dj"

That was brilliant. The volume stuff man I'm new to this.

Another thing about the crossfader is that it’s used for scratching! From cutting from primary track playing to the scratch sample or if you’re beat juggling, it’s more efficient to use the crossfader for that!

Congrats on 100k brotha

Number 4 tip depends on the style of music u play For example u are an edm dj In my country we use hip hop and Caribbean music and for how we play using for volume fader so transitions is a waste of time

the jogwheel has a third function of searching through the track if you hold shift on the deck

This is awesome

This video is perfect

Yep. Just like I'm surprised the Cue-button on his equipment apparently handles what is so commonly called 'PFL' (Pre-Fade Listening) on almost every dedicated mixing-table (for all reading this: that means NO controller, no USB-functionality, just a digital or analog mixer). Confusing to me, but I know shit about controllers but more about analog mixers.

That was cool towards the end.

Thats a good point !

This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen (although the enlarged head effect was highly disturbing.) Aside from that you've earned a subscriber.

This is nice, what i like the most is the function of the jog wheel hehe

Hi Phil, I lost interest in DJ'ing around 2000 when it was all going formula, but I am starting to get interested in having another go thanks to your videos! The equipment and what is possible now blows my mind. It seems like only yesterday I was having to keep tapping play/pause to match and how posh it felt to have a CD player that had a countdown timer.. Christmas is coming and I am thinking of treating myself to a controller. The preferred list in order is the Numark platinum, DDJ400 (if they are available) and the Hercules offering you recently reviewed. Is there any chance you could do a comparison of those with more of a view on connectivity options and major differences in software? Does either software allow use of streaming services now? Does serato allow import/export of cue points? options for recording your practice sessions etc.. Thanks again for your vids, from an old dog trying to learn new tricks..

You are my teacher, I call you master Phil. I've learnt a lot from you sir, thank you

Disco isn't my cup of tea. But this information could help me sleep peacefully.

I knew all this however this is super informative to people who want to get started so if you have a controller and don’t know how to use it I’d suggest watching some more of these videos

If you use a basic/scratch or controller or mixer that only has Highs and Low Knobs you want to use the crossfader to transition from one record or the other

Did anyone else notice phils head get bigger towards the end. Looks like most EDM DJ's I've seen towards the end of their sets and it ain't cos of what I'm poppin. Great video Phil. Thanks for making it interesting

We know everything because youtube tells us

Good video. I have had drama's with people wanting to take a picture with me in the DJ booth not understanding that those jogwheels will stop the song.

This guy really knows the good points. Subscribed and liked. He has no soul tho...

Hey phil what controller do you use?

Damn Philip u re a teacher , perfect explanation

Can you give some tips to play psytrance (progressive and hi tech), I struggle knowing when to transition because the intro and outro have different length

Bruh.... thanks for the keylock tip! I had no idea 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Really cool. That last mix one of those tracks was a tiny bit out

hello DJ.. i want to ask something.. if people deaf can do learn/ training to dj operating ? let me know please..

You forgot to apply tip #1 when you demonstrated tip #5 which was not entirely true. Not every song is like this.

Congrats on 100k🔥

if you're already using the crossfader you gonna set it's curve so it's way less stipper.... this will let you mix with 100% volume most of the cross.

I love your Dance sir 🤣🔥🙏❤

@DjPhilHarris.. omg are you serious 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 let me know what I need to do thank you in advanced.

Sooo many people ask me what the hell I’m doing....now I know where to send them 😂

i noticed you have a lot of misinformation about the crossfader in your videos. while i DO agree that DJ's use the main faders to have better control over the volume on the corresponding track, the crossfader never puts your volume at 50%/50% by having it in the middle. otherwise dj's would never leave the crossfader in the middle, they would probably straight up disable it or have the big brands make controllers without crossfaders. having the crossfader in the middle plays both decks at 100% volume each, nudging it left or right reduces the volume from the opposite track (and the opposite track is the only side that has its volume effected). and during your example, you had the crossfader in the middle, and guess what... the tracks did not play at 50% volume each. why? because it doesn't work that way, despite the claim you were making. with that said, yes the pros do use the main faders as opposed to the crossfader because you want individual control over the volume of each side. as opposed to the crossfader cutting volume from only one side at a time. DJ's who use it for scratching use it to cut volume from one side after all. because that's its only functionality, to cut volume from a single track (usually the side they are scratching from is being cut because it sounds bad if you have the crossfader in the middle, with both sides playing at full volume while doing this).

Wow idol teach me!

are we so far removed from a time when we saw skilled dj's behind the decks that we have to explain how a turntable works and the jog wheels relation to it

What if you knew all of these? Review I suppose! Well explained!

So, it was always true. DJs are literally just pushing play and changing volumes to switch to another song. That's it. The stereotype is real.

I often find if you keep a beat for 16 - 34 bars the song transitioning if the same genre will work

superb tutorial! 🔥🔥🔥

That Sir ,was not trivial enough

Didn't really get into the EQ and why turntablists uses the crossfader to have a manual gate on their scratching. Also No. The intro's and outro's aren't the same length nor do they always consist of a drum loop. Producers tend to make it easier for DJ's by having it be a drum loop in most cases but this can be a phrase of 8 or 16 bars, or even 2 phrases of 16 bars for those long techno tracks.

I been known that 😂

Pretty much all trance tracks have that too. I thought it was a stylistic thing but it makes sense that it also makes it easier for the DJ to mix.

Not always the exact same length 😉

You didn't mention that quality gets way worse with Key Lock/ mastertempo enabled. Its better to have it turned off and only turn on in some cases like when making huge bpm difference with transition. Its also way better when you pitch song a little and actually hear the difference. Fck key lock

7:32 😂😂😂

If only youtube was around 30 years ago 🤣🤣🤣

3:52, i think that's not true... when you put the crossfader in the middle, both of the volumes are at 100%, otherwise it would mean that each time you have your crossfader in the middle, you'd be playing at 50%

i wish i could do this but im not good music wise

i hate waiting the outro for starting following song. motst of time it's boring parts, even when one plays outro and other intro. plus in means that you pllay the entiere 6'30 song, whitch is very long and not dynamic enough to keep the audience awake.

What is the title of the song please?

This stuff is way too basic man, even beginners know this
