    The crazy thing is that the average club goer wouldn't be able to discern the difference between this and fairly simple 1-2 track mixing with occasional effects drop ins. For me, it's the choice between spending hours mastering technique or hours finding the best tracks for the mix progression. Hats off though, this is expert level stuff.

      As soon as the transition is done, you forget about it. The only thing you might remember when you get home is that really cool song that was played. Much more important to get a sense of direction and good song choice than having really cool transitions.

      Personally, having these techniques helps me as it allows me to move around different tracks whenever I need to. For example, when I found a track that doesn't seem to work well, I definitely want to change it asap to another track, but in a smooth way. That's IMO when these techniques can save my night.

I've wanted to be a DJ literally as long as I can remember and it feels so good to finally get to chase that dream.

      Which ever controller you get make sure it fits you. I got the ddj-400n because I plan on djing clubs and larger venues and the controls are similar to the standard club sets. What ever your reason just make sure you're happy with the controller. With the controller I have you could buy it used because the software is free to download and it unlocks when the controller is hooked up. 👌

      @don_huzan 7 місяців тому

      Moving down 4 means going down a minor third. In this case, going from 8A which is minor to 4B which is major. 4B contains similar notes to the minor third of 8A so it works here.

  • @dj_them

    i absolutely love all these techniques and transitions, but i feel like labelling this as a 'club techniques' video is a bit misleading because a lot of clubs (especially older/smaller ones where less experienced djs might get their first residency etc) don't have brand new equipment, and a lot of older cdjs don't have such good hot cue support etc
