Jog adjust: as a dj that is now transitioning from controllers to CDJs I didn't understand why the sensibility of the jogwheel was so different, now it makes sense... It's emulating vinyls! Thanks mate
@@51xeno How would you tune my FLX10 to act like a current CDJ? Jog wheels seem to be mechanical, too on the FLX10. I started out with CDJ-100 and 400, that's what I was used to back in the day in terms of handling.
That tip about not relying on performance features on controllers was my favorite! I had been thinking I was underutilizing my controller cause I wasn’t using all the different features but this makes me feel more confident that what I’m learning will be easier to transfer over whenever I end up upgrading
Despite all the performance features available, the key to any good DJ set has been and always will be music selection and smooth transition between tracks. If you focus most on that the performance features become just a little fun extra to use occasionally
I hear you, that's great advice. I spend more time on loop tightening, looping, etc. now, as opposed to doing tricks with slip rolls, I do a lot of pad work also. I realised that a few months back. I've got a PioneerXDJ-XZ. I'm trying to level up to a 4 deck setup. Costs a fortune. I want 3 CDJ 3000's & a Sequencer. I own an RMX 1000. I'll get there one day 💯
My favourite tip is the jog adjust: as a beginner dj I never understood why these were so sensitive. Your explanation was clear and I learned something new from it! Thank you!
Currently learning to mix and beat match on vinyl only. By the time I hit cdjs I probably won’t need the information

My favorite tip was Link Cable, my dream always is to play on CDJ's and actually I'm restarting with the FLX4 after almost 20 years I started as DJ, I didn't how it was making it possible the connection between all CDJ's and the Mixer. It shows how far the technolgy has reached to help us to perform in our sets.
Jamie, thank You so much for showing these differences to people, but What I can recommend You as a people who Has never had opportunity to Play on CDJ's please be aware od Your level of skills and then nothing will surprise You when You start on CDJ's. I remember my first gig playing out of CDJ's, I was so stressed of using them. One of the DJ's who was playing after me said " What are You afraid of? And I replied "everything" . He said one thing to me " this is the same equipment as You've got at home, but bigger " with This attitude i felt more confident. I played quite nice gig and from this moment I finally felt that there is nothing to worry about.
Most useful tip for me at this time is the differences in jog adjust between CDJs and controllers. I have an FLX-10 at home to practice, and i chose this one because i thought it would be the closest controller i could get to a CDJ. I would have never known that the jog wheels were different if you hadnt mentioned it. Thanks for the tip!
Favorite tip is FX Channel Setup! I played on CDJs last night for the first time. Figured most things out but not the effects. Now I’ll know what to look for next time I’m on CDJs. Thank you!
All of them were unique and informative, especially the last one regarding performance features. For beginner DJ's, like myself, the switch can be daunting and all the buttons are different, so any name similarities will stand out, and I am going to rely on this one for open decks...All about the practice! Thanks so much CrossFader peeps!
I'm the begginer in Dj-ing, The most important and also suprising message was that, going Pro I still need (because it's better) mp3's rather than go into streaming mode. I was just about to get Tidal's dj extension, now it seems that I need to buid my mp3 library more. Cheers, love this chanell, I've learnt a lot.
Best tip was the one about the jog adjust. I never knew that but it makes so much sense. Close runner up was the tip about performance features. I actually thought CDJs woud be more feature rich. But it seems like they are focused on professional DJing rather than hobbyists who like all the bells and whistles. Thanks for this video.
My favorite tip was bringing you own locally stored music, at home it's all to easy to mix from a streaming service, but this tip got me thinking on track selection, what to play and which song to invest in. It motived me to be more critical on what I put in my sets with the added benefit of supporting the artists putting out those great tunes I love playing so much.
Fave Tip: Jog Adjust. I moved over from vinyl to controllers, but only recently started dabbling with CDJs at Pirate. I didn't realise the adjust set up was different. This will really help me on my next Pirate session next week. Thanks CF.
Thanks for the tips! The tip I found most useful was the tip about what features are on the cdj and not on the dj controllers. I made notes:) Going to now practice using beat jumping, looping, hot cues and key shifting. Here I go!
favourite tip was the tap adjust for the bpm setting, also manually putting in your bpm , I had been trying to find a video on this for ages finally came across very handy
Awesome breakdown, Crossfader! 🎧 The way you highlighted the performance features on CDJs vs controllers really hit the mark. It’s like comparing a Formula 1 car to a rally car-each has its own thrilling way of handling the track, but those performance features? That's where the magic happens! Keep up the killer content, always learning something new from you guys! 🚀
Crossfader! Long time listener first time caller. My favorite tip was the streaming integration. I have been deeply considering joining one of the streaming sites but after hearing this video I'm going to stick to regular downloading. Have been eyeing down your music management course and hope to win the entire package. Blessings to you and the Crossfader fam! Thanks for all you do.
My favourite tip of yours is to be prepared with more basic features such has hot cues etc. This is useful as i rely on a dj controller at home, and intend to play someday in places where i can not use it ! Thank you so much for this video
The jog adjust is by far my favorite tip! It's imo the most vital thing to understand when switching, as beatmatching is one of the, if not the most important thing to get down. Thanks for the fantastic video as always!
I think the most valuable tip mentioned in the video is to realize the limits of CDJs as opposed to DJ controllers. The advanced features on some controller boards is easy to get used to and rely on them they will be missed if you go to CDJs and don't have them. Great video! Thx!!
Great Video! Favorite tip: definetly the link cable one - as someone, who's new to playing on CDJs and often finds the setup done beforehand, it helps a lot to be able to ensure, that the CDJs are really "linked".
my favorite tip was the last one. As a beginner DJ on an flx4 with dreams of playing on CDJ's its super helpful what features they do and don't have :)
The final tip is my favorite. As a newcomer to DJing, I've opted for the FLX-4 controller. Honestly, I believe this advice puts me on the right path to begin.
Used to turntables and moving platters. Keep thinking I want cdj’s to learn how to work on that setup (also multichannel would be nice w link). Interesting to learn about job wheels on CDJ’s being based off tables. Very happy to hear that one!
My favorite has to be the link cables and jog wheel adjustment! I had no idea about that since I'm a beginner DJ and have mainly been practicing on a controller. It's amazing how CDJs offer so much more control and flexibility, especially with the jog adjust feature. I'm super excited to keep learning and hopefully win The Complete DJ Package to upgrade my setup and take the next step toward becoming a professional DJ! Thank you!
my favorite is the link cable via router that let all 3 devices communicate properly to make use all the feature of every device, thank you for sharing the knowledge , you guys are really a pillar in the industry of djing
The jog wheel tips were incredibly helpful, especially since there are so many different ways to feel the difference depending on the device you're using. This is particularly true if you've used other units like the Prime4 or Pioneer FLX4. These tips really made it easier to understand how to adjust and fine-tune the jog wheel sensitivity on different equipment!
Probably my favorite tip was 5: Performance Features. It's good to know that such a... vital(?) aspect is different and that the controller's help ease you in but they also prop you up a bit. Great stuff and thanks for the info!
As someone starting djing, videos like these are perfect to see whats further down the line, great content keep it up!! ( number 5 was best aswell, good to not rely on hardware specific controls too much!)
My favorite tip was about the difference in streaming integration between DJ controllers and CDJs. I didn't realize that you can't directly put music from a streaming service like SoundCloud onto a USB and use it with CDJs. This is such an important point because it shows how CDJs are still primarily geared towards offline music management, whereas controllers offer more flexibility with streaming. It's a good reminder to always have a solid offline library ready, and to know the strengths and limitations of the equipment you're using. Great insight!
The last tip was deffo my fave!!! Having started out on flx4s at Christmas I was soooo reliant on beatjump and pad fx to spice up my mixes. Then having gone to pirate and using CDJs, my world was flipped upside down. My first gig was spent staring at the screen using the beat jump feature, I’ve now switched to flx10s and I do not use beat jump in the same way😂😂. Thanks for a great video, hope I win the master classes!
Stacked waveforms and the last tip about performance features. Doing a gig next week and after preparing on my FLX4 this really helps my mindset and ways to prep! Thanks Crossfader!
Favourite tip has to be not relying on the performance features. I’m just starting out and knowing that has made me realise I just need to focus on the basics first and add what I can do with what would be available as in progress through the equipment, and really knuckle down on that to make sure it’s locked in. Thanks for the video, I’m enjoying all your content at the moment
All the tips are priceless as they would definitely relieve portion of a stress. But I love the tip that you should learn to be creative without too many special functions. Thank you :)
My favorite tip is understanding performance features. I have only been mixing on DDJ-SX (3) models for 11 years. Played on CDJ's last week and all my heavy effects on DnB was lost during the live set as I was getting used to the CDJ performance features. A lot to learn still!
def the performance features. So I recently started learning how to dj and bought my first controller and I was so interested in all the features that this one haves, but eventually I got invited to one of my friends birthday party and she had all this cdj set up and I was blow minded because it was totally different of what my controller is. I kinda investigated the whole set up and it was difficult to understand but fun to explore. After the party i got home and I tried to do research on the differences between the controller and de cdjs but i was not able to find something that cleared my questions. So thank you for this video, it was very helpful and clear.
favorite tip was definately the one about the jog adjust, I had no clue until now there was a diffrence but I always felt something was off. This whole video just reminded me ive got a lot to learn!
Im a dj looking to get myself a set of cdjs, I was surprised by and thankful you gave an explanation of the jog wheel adjust differences. The comparison to the turntables I feel will help me visualise the movement when I do transition, thanks for the video
Favourite tip: minimising reliance on performance features. I own a DDJ Flx 4 and use these quite heavily in my sets. Good to know that I should be practical about how I employ them!
Great video with a good amount of information. My favorite part of the video was the link cable functionalities and the tip on not to rely on the stacked wave forms. It really is a whole different way to DJ without all the effects and the visual cues of the stacked waveform.
That FX Channel BPM control tip was my favourite, super helpful to know what happens to the effect when its out of beat and also how to adjust it down to the decimal! Thank you!!
My favorite tip was when you said not to get too attached to the features you have in your controllers as they are not always available on CDJ's. I got a lil scared about the first one tho, just gonna have to practice harder I guess. Great video guys!
The Tip that stands out for me is the Efx Channel Difference on a Mixer ,compared to a Controller which I been using.Great to have learnt it through your video.Much love and respect from South Africa
The jog wheel tip is definitely something most people won't pickup. I can imagine trying to jog a track slowly and it not moving, not good if you need the next track in time ASAP! Thanks for the content!
Fx channel setup is my fav part. Really every tip is useful for me but i like the fx setup for clarity. Thanks for helping me make sense of this transition.
Hey guys! My favourite tip was definitely the jog wheel speed adjust technique. I DJ full time (private parties, corporates and weddings) on an RX3. Occasionally I’ll be booked for a venue that has in house CDJs and I’d love to boost my confidence using these! Thanks for the tips 🙌🏻
Tip 2 Jog adjust! Thanks for this explanation as nailing the beat match is the key foundation in DJing. I'm playing for the first time this Sunday 18th in the YourShot competition as a complete beginner. Being in beat and a smooth transition is my main focus to really try nail, have tight and sound good.
Definitely the tip about not forming a dependence on isolated features of your current mixer setup vs cdjs was my favorite. It is a piece of advice I wish I had been given coming from a ddj1000 and playing on cdjs, not being able to use use certain key features and having interchangeable que button features was a very big shock, and Definitely taught me alot about feature dependence vs refining live mixing skills.
Great tip about the beat effects, tap, timing, auto etc in the FX Channel Set-Up section! Those are features where the reason why something is blinking or flashing on a CDJ may not be abundantly clear. Explaining not only how this works, but also, how to fix and adjust effects manually based on BPMs would have been so tedious to determine on my own!
Очень полезным оказался совет про jog adjust. Всегда чувствовал разницу между подгонном треков с контроллера и с cdj, но никакие мог понять в чем она заключается и почему так происходит. Теперь все ясно!) спасибо
Always helpful Lessons, thanks a bunch Crossfader team The explanation of the Performance Features was super useful, will need to get that addressed with the shift to CDJ rigs 🙏
All the tips are very useful so thank you for the great information and how it's presented. My favourite tip is to get some practice on CDJ´s before playing live. I think this is a great idea and a must to ensure that all goes smoothly.
Definitely jog adjust. puts into context and provides explanation as well! Cool to think back to the roots of DJing- nice when things like that crop up.
Favorite tip ? The last one: I had no clue some features found on some popular controllers were not available on CDJs. Very good to know when preparing a set!
Performance features was my fav part of the vid. Its great to know that I can rely on my basic FX skills when upgrading to CDJs as I dont rely on the more modern tricks in my set.
I used to mix a long time ago and I’ve been wanting to get back into it. I still have decks but they’re old school, vinyl. I watched this video because I’m unsure about the features of digital turntables, and want to familiarise myself with them before I commit to buying them. The video was informative, thanks. 😊
My favorite team was on streaming integration. Might sound a little old school but the best library is your library, and that’s part of what makes a dj special. Having your own selection of tunes to get the crowd going without having to rely on a stream service for help.
My favorite tip was the FX. I didn't know about adjusting the Bpm with the time/tap. Also being able to adjust the decimal point. Learn something new everday
Favourite Tip: Beat FX section! I could see myself getting caught out at the worst possible time and embarrassing myself if I were to assume there was no difference between this on my controller and CDJs. Great video btw & love all you do at Crossfader 🔥 Thanks!
Best tip was the fact the my little entry model box has more toys than the club cdj's blows my mind - Good to note - even though I dream of the big club debut, I'm not there yet but hey with these tips one day you never know - Ibiza watch out :)
Check out The Complete DJ Package wearecrossfader.co.uk/complete-dj/
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.... OK CDJs are 3 times as expensive and take up 3 times as much space. It's just a dick comparison. sorry but that's the truth
Jog adjust: as a dj that is now transitioning from controllers to CDJs I didn't understand why the sensibility of the jogwheel was so different, now it makes sense... It's emulating vinyls! Thanks mate
How on earth is that anything like vinyl?
@@_very He explains in the video
Actually it can be tuned

Jog adjust is a great tip. Makes total sense now you’ve explained it too. I’m ready to step up from DDJ-400s so this vid was invaluable. 🙏🏻
I'm the begginer in Dj-ing, The most important and also suprising message was that, going Pro I still need (because it's better) mp3's rather than go into streaming mode. I was just about to get Tidal's dj extension, now it seems that I need to buid my mp3 library more. Cheers, love this chanell, I've learnt a lot.
I recommend using .wav instead of .mp3. Wav retains way more quality and data! .mp3 is compressed shit

It is a piece of advice I wish I had been given coming from a ddj1000 and playing on cdjs, not being able to use use certain key features and having interchangeable que button features was a very big shock, and Definitely taught me alot about feature dependence vs refining live mixing skills.
Great tip about the beat effects, tap, timing, auto etc in the FX Channel Set-Up section! Those are features where the reason why something is blinking or flashing on a CDJ may not be abundantly clear. Explaining not only how this works, but also, how to fix and adjust effects manually based on BPMs would have been so tedious to determine on my own!
Очень полезным оказался совет про jog adjust. Всегда чувствовал разницу между подгонном треков с контроллера и с cdj, но никакие мог понять в чем она заключается и почему так происходит. Теперь все ясно!) спасибо
Always helpful Lessons, thanks a bunch Crossfader team The explanation of the Performance Features was super useful, will need to get that addressed with the shift to CDJ rigs 🙏
my favorite tip was the link cable and the streaming integration because now I see now I can get set up in the most quickest way
Great video! The FX channel setup is clutch. I can see that as something that would trip me up if I didn’t know that ahead of time.
All the tips are very useful so thank you for the great information and how it's presented. My favourite tip is to get some practice on CDJ´s before playing live. I think this is a great idea and a must to ensure that all goes smoothly.
Fx Channel Setup explained some things I didn’t know. All tips are great knowledge. Appreciate your valuable advice.
My favourite tip is the Jog Adjust! Threw me for a big confusion the first time I used CDJs when I was used to my FLX4!
Favorite tip is definitely the last one! Not relying on on options you have on controllers that won’t be available on the cdj
Definitely jog adjust. puts into context and provides explanation as well! Cool to think back to the roots of DJing- nice when things like that crop up.
Jog adjust is a great tip. Makes total sense now you’ve explained it too 🔥
Not relying on performance features on controllers, I came from controllers and Traktor software so this advice it's very valuable for me
Favorite Tip: Jog Adjust
I never fully grasped the difference but the explanation with the relation to vinyl makes absolute sense 👌🏻
FAV TIP: actually I'm a beginner and I learned a lot of basic condensed stuff just from watching the tips 😆! Well done!
My favourite tip was: Streaming Integration because I was always a little confused about that, but this defo cleared it up!
My favorite tip, streaming integration. Then I would say performance features. Thank you for all the helpful tips!
Favorite tip ? The last one: I had no clue some features found on some popular controllers were not available on CDJs. Very good to know when preparing a set!
Performance features was my fav part of the vid. Its great to know that I can rely on my basic FX skills when upgrading to CDJs as I dont rely on the more modern tricks in my set.
My fav was the beat matching in the jog wheel the difference between a controller and CDJs. Explains A LOT !
Good to know all the different features between the two ! All the advices will all help me in improving, thank's !
I used to mix a long time ago and I’ve been wanting to get back into it. I still have decks but they’re old school, vinyl. I watched this video because I’m unsure about the features of digital turntables, and want to familiarise myself with them before I commit to buying them. The video was informative, thanks. 😊
My favorite tip involved you pointing out the missing features on a CDJ as compared to a DJ controller
My favorite team was on streaming integration. Might sound a little old school but the best library is your library, and that’s part of what makes a dj special. Having your own selection of tunes to get the crowd going without having to rely on a stream service for help.
The tips about adjusting the timer on the mixer for the effects was very useful, thx! And plz keep makin' these kind of video's :-)
Favourite Tip was def the FX part, I knew most of the stuff but it is still good to refresh your knowledge :)
My favorite tip was the FX. I didn't know about adjusting the Bpm with the time/tap. Also being able to adjust the decimal point. Learn something new everday
Favourite Tip: Beat FX section! I could see myself getting caught out at the worst possible time and embarrassing myself if I were to assume there was no difference between this on my controller and CDJs.
Great video btw & love all you do at Crossfader 🔥 Thanks!
Favourite tip was the FX measures. Had no idea that Decks were a lot more manual controlled. Thanks once again
Best tip was the fact the my little entry model box has more toys than the club cdj's blows my mind - Good to note - even though I dream of the big club debut, I'm not there yet but hey with these tips one day you never know - Ibiza watch out :)
I have played twice on CDJs and I was too scared to use the FXs since I didn't know how, but this was a great explanation, thank you!
I liked the trick with the link cable best!
