    The "EQ Swap" is my favorite technique. I normally try to do the "seamless" technique but I always feel rushed, but now the "EQ Swap" seems to be better suited for my style of mixing. I loved everything about the tutorial and not only am I going to try the "EQ Swap" I'm going to try to use Highs in "Seamless" since I usually only do the Mids and the Lows. #GameChanger

      It all depends on the tracks and compatibility. There's no one good way, every way has their own place and it's good to practice all of it.

    I’m a big fan of layering, I think it brings high energy and takes the listener on a journey. It allows them to hear different elements of songs together. Loads of my pals ask me ‘what was that remix’ when really it was just two songs which absolutely bang together 😮‍💨. Love the video Jamie 👍🏽

  • @dj_baby_yoda
    @dj_baby_yoda 2 роки тому +1

    Although 1 and 2 are classics, 3 - Layering has the most fun and energy!!! Admittedly I use 2 a lot more though, as it's more forgiving. Jamie, as always, one of the best DJs teachers out there. Straightforward and clear.

  • @richiecolon3774

  • @jakethesnake-84
    @jakethesnake-84 Рік тому +1

    Just got my first controller 2 days ago! I’m luck I went to college for guitar for a minute so I understand key matching well from music theory classes. I actually use classic notation because it’s what I learned. But this video showing to start the next track on the drop of the previous was very helpful. The blending and transitions are way more of an art then what people and musicians like myself have thought. Thank you for this very informative video and structuring it the way you do!

  • @ayathorne6258

    House music is SO popular. Even bassheads like myself are loving it these days. I can understand why this video was made but I completed the beginner DJ course and learned ALL OF THIS stuff in it. Thank you so much to Crossfader for your educational material and courses. I can't wait to continue on to intermediate, advanced, and scratching!
    My favorite tip is the EQ swap. Super easy tip for beginners that gives you a chance to recognize the his, mids, and lows so that you know what the music is going to sound like before you even change the EQ. #wearecrossfader

    @marieh2854 2 роки тому +6

    EQ Swap is definitely my favourite one to keep the crowd engaged and keep full control over the transition. When I started mixing I would just fade in and fade out but as soon as you start doing multi genre mixes with diverse drum patterns and basslines, you need to get more creative to create smooth blends.

  • @bsiChewy
    @bsiChewy 2 роки тому

    The 1st and 3rd are my favorite. The 1st is so simple watching it but something I've been trying yo master for a while and I just love the illusion of never realizing the track was changed.

  • @awesomeangus8364
    @awesomeangus8364 2 роки тому +1

    My fav tip was how to layer, as it takes so much to get it right. The tip was how you keep one track on the bass and the other on the vocal, but you have to change the bass and remove one of the middles to allow one track to be vocal and other the song, thanks for the vid, even though it was short it was really good👍🏻

  • @djmaxy705

    I think the big takeaway here is to make the mix on the phrase changes - I like the slam in (clean swap method) for the type of songs I mix!
    My favorite technique though is tip number 3 for sure! Love the energy level and uniqueness that comes with layering! #wearecrossfader

    When building my set I love to use the "EQ swap" technique. It allows me to keep elevating the energie during the set. During a downpart of the set I intent to use the "seamless blend" to match the lower energie level en give the audience moment before you give them another energie buildup.

    Love the 3rd technique!!! Layering from my perspective helps keep the audience in the groove of music and doesn’t confuse them by gently blending and layering in the next track, but employs impactful cross overs by introducing the lows at a moment when everyone may have though there would be a break in the track, but the rhythm keeps going! #wearecrossfader

    I don't use layering as much, but watching the tutorial has inspired me to incorporate it in my next mixes. Thanks, the 3rd tip is my favorite #wearecrossfader

    My favorite is Technique 3 Layering.
    I like this technique. It sounds very nice & smoothy.
