    Amazing video as usual, very informative and easy to understand. I am incoporating these techiques, using the effect cfx properly, is something to address. I am learning a lot when I go out to dj events and I focus what the pros do (by ear ofc). Looping mixing, sometimes is abused to the point of using only loops. I find the quantize fuction very usefull, Rekordbox has is as a option (when there is no available button on the controller) I am using looping the end of the track, but also looping the intro to the next one. Finally I have the DDJ - XP2 and it has given me more choices alongside a slider/knob controller (to control the stems levels). I have solved a lot of my problems. But still using more than 1 effect at the same time is not available (but mapping another controller you can) Also adding effects on a specific stem is tricky but rewarding. Like you can do on a FLX10. ps. The energy when I am djing and watching the crowd , is very important, for both crowd and dj to have fun.

    ​@@djcarloThank you so much for this video I will download the tracks and practice them. I would love a similar tutorial using these techniques on latin music like merengue, salsa, bachata, reggaeton, dominican dembow. I haven't found any tutorials that use latin music so it's difficult for me to see if the music is structured the same and I just don't know how to identify all the components. One of the saddest things I'm finding where I live is almost all the pro Dj's really don't want to help the ones coming up. Not with music, not with technique. A friend of mine helped me out but I need to get to next level where someone shows me how to do it with latin music. He has given me about about the crowd psychology. I'm on an FLX4 for now and he's on an DDJ SR controller.

Straight to the point, simple explanations of basic techniques to practice and master and exactly what I have been trying to find for a long time. I had about given up on the hobby despite my love for music. You've really outdone yourself Carlo giving others a run for their money teaching.

    Hey! I like the fact that you demonstrate on a FLX4 and show people you don't need the most expensive gear to mix properly. Simple and clear way to use echo and filter....it's all most of us do and all you need so kudos on explaining that well. Your EQ and fader advice, however, is showing the absolute worst (not a problem that it's so basic btw) technique, I'm afraid.....always start with the EQ lowered on the track you're bringing in and then switch the balance with the current track playing if you want to work towards an actual pro level transition....when you get to the point where you can gradually bring in all three EQs while lowering the others, then you'll be there! Oh, and the second (phrasing) and third section (loops is actually the hardest thing to get right so nice to see a simple explanation) were pretty good too btw, so just the EQ work is a real problem!

    Thanks for the kind words! Though I stick by what I said for the EQs. I used to use the lowered EQ technique for the track I'm bringing in, but I find that for my kind of genres, it doesn't sound as good. I wouldn't say it's the absolute worst: that would be having all EQs at max when mixing hahaha

    Being someone who started this DJ'ing thing back in the early 2000's I feel like modern DJs are afraid of the long transition. It's very important to be able to let two songs play together for an extended period of time and to be able to tease elements of the new track into the current one. This goes beyond looping and beat matching and allows your mix to be more artistic and personal. Anyone can slam mix two tracks together but it takes a musical ear to be able to use certain elements of the new track to hype the crowd and give them that "oh shit, is it THAT song?" feeling inside. Never underestimate the value of the slow transition and when I say slow I mean take a minute. Some of my favourite mixes are ones where I've let the mix go so long that you can't tell when the "switch" happens and can't hear the first track disappear. I feel like I remember hearing Oakenfold do this back in the Essential Mix heyday but I don't remember where I picked up the idea and started using it. Don't let the technology make you forget how to do the cool things. Take the same track and play it a 1/4 of a second behind and create your own distortion effect by hand, it sounds more organic, especially if you slide the two songs in and out of pitch as you go and change the "depth" of the effect. You can't get that kind of thing from a button press. As the proud owner of a Pioneer FLX6 and learning to spin on Tech12's I feel it's important to remind newer DJs not to rely on the technology too much.

Indeed, I agree that the long transitions is an art form in itself (not to be confused with slow mixing!), but it just happens not to be my style, so I feel there would be people out there a little more qualified to teach that kind of transition 🥳

    With these mixing techniques keep in mind that in a club and on some soundsystems the highs (and mids) can stack up and create very unpleasant resonances. For example what you did at 4:15 could build up the high resonances. Perhaps a bit better thing to do would be to also gradually reduce highs (and mids) on outgoing song while you are mixing in the new song. It requires quite a lot of finesse and critical listening to pull it off smoothly though. In a club setting I reckon it can be tough to really hear what's going on in the highs and mids but for that purpose some clubs may monitor and either correct themselves or provide a tool to track and correct the EQ output on a master.

    @@spirittravels.Yep. Reason why I started with a normal table-mixer with no seperate EQ's first. Got the hang of it when I was 13 or so (to all you kids out there: you haven't got the faintest clue how much possibilities you have at your disposal these days, stuff in 2001 was still very expensive most of the time, I started with just two regular CD-players and a cheap table-mixer from a second-hand store that was missing all the buttons). Then found a better table-mixer on the flee-market and bought a real CD-mixing thing with pitch-control shortly after it (250 euro or something of my carefully saved money down the drain). When I was 18 or so, and had more money to spend, I got a table-mixer with seperate EQ's as I wanted to explore even further. My trusty Rodec BX-14 is still here... but I haven't touched the players (Numark NDX500 from my bare mind) in years now... (too much stuff is in front of them since my uncle passed away...) Almost all the stuff shown in the video is even impossible for me using just those two NDX500's and a table-mixer, but I'm just not such a controller-type. What I hope everyone will do is just buy something simple and TRY first. Most of the decks/controllers are already overloaded with features you just won't use in the beginning. Especially if you don't have such a sense of rhythm, start beatmaching (BY EAR!) first. Also, don't watch too much video's on this subject. Though there are some nice tips offered to you, you will just need to really LISTEN to your music (and this is something completely different than just putting your favourite song up, I usually tried things while mixing, which sometimes ends up really bad). Develop your own style, find out how to use your EQ's within reasonable limits, and specially how hard it is to even hit those in and out buttons exactly in time (I know, there are controllers and decks that help with quantization and can even be set to different levels of imprecision-elimination, and there are decks where you can even perform minimal adjustments to the in and outpoints of the loop while in in the loop, but just try not to use them...) If only stagefright would not have been the story of my life...

    @@spirittravels. What RobVice said still holds true, and the most basic transition with every HIGH and MID knob to at least 12 o'clock when both channel volume sliders are at 100% is precisely the starting point for this possibility. Always check how the vocals and samples that make the higher half of the audible freq. range do sound before letting a slider go to 100% when another thing is playing and every HI/MID knob is at least at 0. GAIN controls are there for a reason as well.

    An easy variation (which helps balancing the overall result during a buildup) is to set the low freq of the next track down while entering, then doing the rest just as showed. For a total newbie I'd suggest not over-using the single knob filter, its results are a bit destructive (especially on hipass, the res is pretty high and noticeable) and trying to mimic the same result using all 3 freq knobs. Edit: a dj is mostly promoting others' music, if you start overdoing loops and cuts and so on, the end result will be pretty much always the same, ruining both the performance and the songs themselves. Knowing how discreet to be is key.

Cutting up records when both are in the mix is an art in it self. Too many Dj’s play it safe there are other just as valid Dj styles other than smooth transition.

    i'm guessing all three things that pro djs use before watching the video 1. perfect beatmatching 2. only using low eq nobs 3. use noise fx before a drop to build the energy and reverb or echo fx when mixing out a song.

  • @djcarlo

    @djcarlo

    10 ай бұрын

    Those are some great guesses! Pro DJs often utilize various techniques and tools to enhance their performances. Here are three common elements that pro DJs frequently incorporate: Perfect beatmatching: Precise beatmatching is essential for seamless transitions and maintaining a consistent flow throughout the set. This skill ensures that the beats of two tracks align flawlessly, creating a smooth and uninterrupted mix. Strategic use of EQ: Professional DJs often focus on utilizing the low EQ knobs effectively. By skillfully managing the bass frequencies, they can control the energy and impact of the mix, emphasizing the rhythmic elements while maintaining a balanced sound. Creative use of effects: Adding effects can greatly enhance a DJ's performance. Using noise effects before a drop can build anticipation and increase energy, while incorporating reverb or echo effects during mix-outs can create smooth and atmospheric transitions. These elements, among many others, contribute to a DJ's mastery and ability to deliver captivating performances. Keep exploring and experimenting with different techniques to further elevate your DJing skills!
