I love how you just look at other DJs and their techniques without hating on anyone for being popular. Just pointing out what they're doing and how they're doing it without judgment is such a breath of fresh air in the often toxic online world. I don't even like DV&LM but I'd rather see what I can learn from them than hear yet another bitter DJ ranting about how things used to be better (they weren't. I was there.).
Hell to the yes!!!!! Thanks man. Totally know how you feel! As a UA-camr, I get so many butt hurt people about these EDM DJs. It totally toxifies the community. Glad you're enjoying my objective way of highlighting the skills they actually do exhibit and do when they dj! There is always something new to learn! Just gotta be open minded, patient, and understanding. Peace!
Carlos! I had my first gig on Tuesday. Watching your videos helped me develop. Yours is the only DJ channel I watch because I only learn from the best. Could you please do a LONG video demonstrating ALL different types of transitions. Thank you.
Dude your content is absolute fire, the way you break down what’s happening at various points of the mix and all the little tips and tricks you overlay onto all your videos is next level. Keep up the incredible work bro!
Thanks so much man! It's incredibly hard to make these videos. Researching, writing, editing..agh! Such a task! Thanks for showing some love to this endeavor of mine!
@@djcarlo You do a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!!! And I'm sure your video edit skills are super duper on point by now. You could do a DJ movie 👍👍👍 I noticed all the new audience clips and appreciate the time it takes to find and mix it all together. You are a visual DJ now too 😉
As a progressive/long mixer, I have always mixed in key, and I haven't ever thought that one could mix out-of-key just by fast slam mixing :). There's always something new to know!
Do you do all of your own editing? Or do you have people that assist? Incredible work and the consistency and style is really good. You really are an inspiration on so many levels
I do all my editing and it's crazy hard work. You wouldn't believe the time needed to write, shoot and edit each video! Sleepless nights!!!! Thanks for showing some love!
DJ Carlo, you are awesome man. Im an old veteran rave dj, thats been solely vinyl. Im learning a lot by watching your videos. Just picked up the Rev 1. Its a lot of fun!
@@djcarlo Wow man! Thank you for writing back. Thats really cool of you. You are super talented and I can tell, a very nice dude. The REV1 is soooo much fun. It does kinda feel like im re-learning "the craft" again though. This DOES have a slight vinyl feel to me on this controller, which is nice. I'm use to 2 Techs, needles, a mixer, and headphones. Nothing digital, so this is a new world for me. Your videos are really helping this old dj fart, learn new tricks. lol! I was a Happy Hardcore DJ for 14 years on the East Coast (USA), played 100's of events.Even sponsored by Kikwear Clothing. I start back when social media, besides Myspace, didn't exist yet. It was all Snap Cameras, Paper flyers, and Hotline Numbers to find all the fun raves. Nothing was mainstream yet. Your vinyl collection was SPECIAL and great tracks were actually Rare-to-find. Mine we're so damn expensive, because I ordered my tunes from the UK. Hope you had the chance to experience that in your youth DJ Carlo, it was a blast. Have a wonderful weekend! Looking forward to learning more from your videos.
Hello kabayan carlo, i just want you to know that today is my first gig here in the Philippines, thank you for teaching me some new and improved techniques about mixing. Mabuhay!
Carlo, yet another top-class review of how it's done. you showed me something new in this. I never use EQ for mixing, the filter is enough, but the tips on mixing styles are the bomb. keep it coming dude ;) ;D
@@djcarlo i have your course in DDJT, i love watching your mixes. i know these vids take so long to make and i appreciate the hard work. i would love to see you do something around 4 deck mixing for controllers (e.g DDJ1000) whilst using the mixing techniques you mention in this vid. thanks for your hard work, peace bro ;)
The IDJ record pool that comes in virtual DJ it appears that they had the songs already lined up for you in Key Frances. If you pull the dance one I feel like all those songs are already in Key.
a lot of these guys have duos cause of the music production side so they produce as a duo so they just dj together and its becoming even more prominent now a days. W&W, Da Tweekaz, Sub Zero Project, Daft Punk, Knife Party, Loud Luxury, Slander, Showtek. Those are all duos and that's just a small list to show how prominent it has become.
For me personally the best DJ Duo is 999999999. They blew my mind when I first heard them. I’d like to learn more about how they make their mixes so energetic. What technique do they use?!
Fascinating video in terms of DJ culture. Things that many would be analyzing or necessarily having consciousness of knowing the terminology. I speak from experience of DJing over 20 years. I love the stage that it has become and the content being created.
Besides the harmonics T it is fair to say that jumping to the right e. g. four numbers in the same minor (A) or major (B) scale can also bring some pretty good mixes. Doesn't work always but sometime interesting effects and is still harmonic.
Carlo I learned everything I know from you man. Appreciate all your hard work thank you and just when I thought there is nothing new to learn you come up with this video. You are a legend
My DJ-Skills are very, very bad. But even I tap to get the right beginning. To be honest. A tap bpm mode would be pretty interesting, so you can adjust your song by tapping
It's actually possible, but in a very different way from DV & LM! I have 2 friends who plug 2 laptops in and just go back and forth on their decks. One scratches, one adds effects. It's trippy to watch! Hahaha
I guess you run in different musical circles! Haha, these guys did make some massive festival tracks in the mid 2010s. But at least you know of them now!
I love your videos Carlo! One question. How bad is the latency when DJing over Bluetooth with your Bose speaker? I’ve tried to DJ over Bluetooth in the past and the latency makes it very hard.
You are getting more creative with the videos, nice work! I liked the mixing in key examples part, hilarious. You did an excellent job in breaking down the Duo's mixing style. I have to say though, they are really milking that filter knob for all it's worth! So many newer DJs focus so heavily on creative transitions and then you look at the top artists and they are barely doing any of that stuff.... There's a lesson to be learned there......
that is so true! it's the simplest stuff that is most effective! thanks for enjoying the creativity I put into these videos. just doing my best to really up to the quality content for dj tutorials out there. peace~!
@@djcarlo I think it's good approach. Art should inspire people, make them think or feel something. Sometimes, when you get too complex, you lose that direct connection that is necessary in art. Techniques aside, this duo are masters of managing the energy in a room.
@@djcarlo True. Its because you can't really define it, you mostly feeling it while reading the crowd. But when organizing the tracks i like to label them like this: POWER (when you have a track that is very powerful that pushes the crowd to the edge and you feel the bass pumps like a big washing machine that keeps spinnin very loud.), EMOTIONAL (when you to break that intense energy and give the crowd air but make them emotional. The tracks have to have an emotional melody.) Also there are tracks for the beginning and end of the set that gives that hello or goodbye vibe. Its very hard for me to explain this because that's i personally experience music. Hope you feel what im saying 🙂
Agree about mixing in key, BUT FOR ME it gets boring quit fast! :) Talkin bout this dj duo, I always thought that they need different style of setup otherwise it looks like they are in the way of each other. Great stuff, Thanks.
Mixing in key is definitely boring. It’s fine for a few tracks in a set, but keeping your set entirely in key is like eating French fries with a side of French fries and a dipping sauce made out of potatoes. Listen to any vinyl DJ worth their salt and you’ll hear how NOT mixing in key can be even more enjoyable. There’s no mixing in key with records.
Mixing in Key definitely makes for smoother mixes, but don't be too strict with it, especially with disco, hip hop, pop, etc. It really works better for house and electronic music!
wouldn't djing with bluetooth have latancy issues? as for 2 heads vs one, more creative input. 2 people who work well together are always better than either solo.
The 2 DJs thing works well IF you guys are in sync, and add something new each if you ask me. I've seen a few where nothing really happens out of the ordinary.
For sure. Would have to be a soulmate type thing to really work. Most DJ/producers aren’t even performing on the fly sets though. They practice the exact same set for weeks or months then your doing the exact same thing over and over nightly. Where many professional DJ’s can read a crowd and change it up. Some of the producer/DJ’s might change 1 track per town to make it feel like it’s not just a routine.
nice vid bro! there is no excuse for not mixing in key these days! 20 years ago I would sit down with my mate and a piano and go through my records and key them! we had to work hard and spend a lot of money on records! so much easier these days!
@@djcarlo yes mate, we would spend 3 days a week buying records from different record stores and then spend a whole day going through and keying and BPMing every record!
Energy is great, but a good friend of mine calls DJs who mix in at the first chorus "DJ Skippy". It can be really annoying if you like songs and they end too fast.
Would you be able to make a dubstep/riddim mix with tips on how to improvise transitions within the genres? There aren’t many videos covering that topic and the ones that there are are dated
Drop mixing, doubles, drop switching, and slicing are all good things to look into that Carlo has covered in the context of house and hip hop but the technique works the same.
@@djcarlo yeah of course! As zero has commented, drop mixing, doubles and slicing (idk if that’s the same thing as chopping) are techniques that are very prominent within the genre, I’m also interested in knowing where to place hot cues, how to use low/high pass filtering to help ease into another track, and how to manage energy throughout sets (going from high energy drops to slower, calmer breakdowns) Sorry if these are quite vague, I’m a producer who’s trying to improve my beginner DJ skills within the realm of bass music. DJs like Stoned level, Excision, Kompany, Calcium, and Soltan are my inspirations so maybe watching clips of their sets might give you an idea of what I’m thinking of.
Does anyone love their own cities Dj's I used to love going around the US and my favorites were DJ Honey TN DJ Vicious V CA DJ IL has this one DJ thats been mixing the same tracks for the last 34yrs That guy is a FRIKN Legend.. Anyhow does anyone love their own local DJ?
@@djcarlo I want to hear you live some day. Even though I follow and listen in it's nothing compared to actually being there and experiencing the ambience in the room.
Hmmm, I wouldn't recommend changing the key of the song because that might distort how the track sounds. But to make the song go faster or slower, make use of the pitch faders near the middle of the controller.
Amazing when you break it down. 2 Djs mixing 2 tracks. Then you have someone like James hype, 1 DJ mixing 4 tracks 😂 then Carlo here, can do it all on even the most basic controller 😆 👍🏽
Love your videos! Didn’t plan on getting on board the dj world until I watch your videos (thanks UA-cam algorithm!) now I bought a flx6 and it’s supeeeerb! Can you do more videos about timing transitions and when/how to use them like you did in this video? Thank you
My main tutorial video touches on that topic the most! It should be under "how to DJ for beginners" and I've got loads more on the channel just like that!
Thanks Carlo! Another really cool tips video! I get to watch a lot of headlining electronic acts mix as I am a stage manager and DJ backline tech. I have a question, when DJs transition like this without using EQs and instead just the volumes, doesn't it run the signal into the reds whilst the two tracks play?
It potentially could! The individual tracks will remain below the red, but with the overlapping lows and highs, there's a very big chance of that happening.
@@djcarlo I took another look at the mixing part of this video, I think Dimitri might be adjusting the trim on the tracks before and after adjusting volumes which might be how they counter it sounding like mush.
I never even thought of not EQ'ing my tracks but I do mix in key. Very informative and something I will try. Thanks for keeping the art fresh and fun Carlo. Btw sponsored by Best Buy? Nice!
Thanks Jack! It was fun trying to figure out how these guys functioned because I know for a fact their sets never seem to drop the energy from start to finish.
Bro in watched this video but my doubt not cleat yet my question is in dvlm tomorrowland 2018 show they played house of house what like mike doing please tell bro
@@djcarlo bro please play dvlm tomorrowland 2018 show and see song house of house .than you see like mike singing and doing something i can't understand what he is doing in mixer bro now you understand easily
That's where you'll need to use your discretion. Mixing in key doesn't have to be an absolute with certain genres, but EQing the song right during the transition will definitely make it smoother
I've had a few requests, but I'm just going by the ones who've got overwhelming demand in the comments first. I might go with a Dubstep or DnB DJ eventually when I've familiarized myself more with the genres' mixing styles.
Yo dj carlo, i want to ask if you could say how Sound of legend mix ? Btw your video are realy cool and you learn me how to djing so thank you 👍 Ps im french so sorry for my grammar😂
Looking to get a dj controller, what do you suggest is the best for real life doing pioneer rev 1 or the ddj flx 4. I saw your video and it's seems both are great. But if you had to choose based on your years of experience what would it be? Thanks, again great channel!
siempre me aparecían tus videos como recomendaciones pero no los abría por que estaba en ingles, ahora que los veo con subtítulos me he dado cuenta que me perdía de mucho, gracias por los consejos
Hey Carlo i have many doubt and questions about dj radio shows. Please make a video on it as i am planning to start my own radio shows soon and i need some tips to make a better.
First of all,just because a song charts better than another,does not mean it's actually a better song. It is more POPULAR and that's exactly what this is about. It's not that hard to play with a mixer and press tons of buttons since the gear does the majority of the work.Just because something is a fact that some do not like does not mean it's 'hating'. Basically the DJs job is to entertain or make dancers lose their minds.I personally do not DJ with anyone because I am fast and deft enough to do the whole job by myself. I do not do more dancing than half the crowd because I generally am busy making the music talk,adding sounds,adding efx,and I do NOT mix most of my records in the same places,same style.I also choose more music that speaks for itself and does not need a lot of efx/processing,and that i can play the turntable itself..
That's fair Michael! Every DJ has their own style, selection, and sway to the mix, so just keep doing what you're doing best and give your audience a good time!
@@djcarlo The better DJs do not get stuck in a style,they are flexible,versatile,and command respect with their music delivery. I was saying I am the DJ not the dancing crowd,and that's my JOB behind the decks.
@@djcarlo Wait, DJing is like a beauty contest right now? Dude, these guys are anywhere near DVS1 or Oscar Mulero, to name a pair. They're just two clowns. Zero deepness, zero digging quality, zero getting the crowd out of the comfort zone, zero drive.
Also you forgot to mention many other ways of MIK. Like energy mixing +2 or +7 (changing by half or full semitone) or minor to major mixing which is +5....Sad u don't tell your audience how many options u really have.
I've actually done an entire video dedicated to MIK Danyal! That's why I didn't focus exclusively on it here; I didn't want to take away from the main subject of this video.
Currently still saving up to buy my first controller and after binge watching all these vids I don't think ill be having a hard time DJing when I finally have one. Haha appreciate your content man :)
mixing in key ?...lol.. never worried about this mixing vinyl...lol... keeping the energy lol....I think people just get bored easily nowadays and it's very dependent on the style of music...
You'd be surprised about how some songs that sound good together are BECAUSE they're mixed in key! It's not something that should be rigidly followed in club sets, but getting the right songs with the right keys together does make for a crowd pleasing mix. Mostly because they won't know that the songs changed, and they'll suddenly be singing to something new without realizing it!

Nope. Maybe if they do something live, like instruments. But for usual djing, no.
Not at all I prefer to manage myself, and I have not use to a others dj with me ! 2 hands are pretty enough lol thanks buddy
Yes better than 1
Which set was this
@@IcyDanny_ slam set or home set there are two sets

@@djcarlo you right brother ❤️
"how good is the X dj" they're all dogshit Live because its just playback.
@@Indignation92 you’re not learning anything from these clowns lmfao
To be honest i've always looked at DV&LM as a 1 DJ - 1 Showman duo, and the guys great energy are a huge factor in their success.
They're huge! I certainly think that I broke down their secret to high energy entertaining mixes!
What about cosmic gate
They're just known because they're friends with Tomorrowland's organisation. They're not better than any wedding DJ imo.
Carlos!

Can't deny their existence and being huge. In the same time, in my opinion, it is overkill to have more than on guy at the table..

It's alright for me, since I mainly use it for extremely simple mixing. If really want zero latency sound, it's best to go for a wired speaker!
the thumbnail of this video made me laugh so hard.. "wtf?" with the arrow.. he he
Bwahaha, I gave myself a good laugh with that one as well!
Nice Vid. Oh and at 11:50 you should say top LEFT corner ;)
Oh my bad!!!! Thanks for catching that!
“One technique that pro DJs do that beginners don’t”: pre-record their sets in Ableton, with music selected for them by their music pickers.
really now? they're playing live dude! check their sets out and see how they affect each track!
Lols, yeah, I like keeping my club sets open so I can properly match the vibe.
Best breakdown DJ Carlo and nice explanation
Thanks Tushar! Always a pleasure to hear some praise from you!
Can you look at Nicky Romero? Especially how he does his mashup of I Could Be The One and Mistaken by Martin Garrix

Energy is one of the most overlooked bits of DJ mixing!

wouldn't djing with bluetooth have latancy issues? as for 2 heads vs one, more creative input. 2 people who work well together are always better than either solo.
The 2 DJs thing works well IF you guys are in sync, and add something new each if you ask me. I've seen a few where nothing really happens out of the ordinary.
For sure. Would have to be a soulmate type thing to really work. Most DJ/producers aren’t even performing on the fly sets though. They practice the exact same set for weeks or months then your doing the exact same thing over and over nightly. Where many professional DJ’s can read a crowd and change it up. Some of the producer/DJ’s might change 1 track per town to make it feel like it’s not just a routine.
nice vid bro! there is no excuse for not mixing in key these days! 20 years ago I would sit down with my mate and a piano and go through my records and key them! we had to work hard and spend a lot of money on records! so much easier these days!
Dang Shaun! That was effort back in the day!
@@djcarlo yes mate, we would spend 3 days a week buying records from different record stores and then spend a whole day going through and keying and BPMing every record!
Start tapping multiple times backward with this video at 0:00 and you will make a remix
Lols, someone should sample that hahaha
Sound engineers must love their style.
"You ain't headlining if you ain't redlining"
Energy is great, but a good friend of mine calls DJs who mix in at the first chorus "DJ Skippy". It can be really annoying if you like songs and they end too fast.
That's where crowd reading comes in! If your audience is vibing, then let it play. If the song totally killed the mood, you know what to do
@@djcarlo sell it as "changing the tempo, can't keep it at high octane the whole time." 😜
carlo. You doing great. Im here with you since 2015 .. Enjoy
Thanks Demi! Dang, you've been here since the start!
Does every Bluetooth speaker have a one second delay when dj’ing?
Not all, but most do unfortunately.
Yo Dj Carl .... Which Speaker and Subwoofers you will recommend if I have a budget of 2k bucks or I can go a lil bit higher ..
Purpose just for myself
I've got some speakers listed here: www.amazon.com/shop/djcarloatendido
But also check out the KRK Rokit series!
@@djcarlo oh thanks
Would you be able to make a dubstep/riddim mix with tips on how to improvise transitions within the genres? There aren’t many videos covering that topic and the ones that there are are dated
Sounds like a good idea! Mind commenting some techniques you want me to cover?
Drop mixing, doubles, drop switching, and slicing are all good things to look into that Carlo has covered in the context of house and hip hop but the technique works the same.
@@djcarlo yeah of course! As zero has commented, drop mixing, doubles and slicing (idk if that’s the same thing as chopping) are techniques that are very prominent within the genre, I’m also interested in knowing where to place hot cues, how to use low/high pass filtering to help ease into another track, and how to manage energy throughout sets (going from high energy drops to slower, calmer breakdowns)
Sorry if these are quite vague, I’m a producer who’s trying to improve my beginner DJ skills within the realm of bass music. DJs like Stoned level, Excision, Kompany, Calcium, and Soltan are my inspirations so maybe watching clips of their sets might give you an idea of what I’m thinking of.
I'm subscribing for this comment.
Switching genres has always been my biggest challenge, as well.
Hay Carlo. I’m curious, what app are you running on your iPad.? I have just picked up the go2go deck and I’m slowly getting used to it.
That's Algoriddim DJay! :)
How do these two Dj, along with every MainStage Dj They hit play 😂😂😂
They use the effects and beatmatch too!
@@djcarlo only MainStage Dj that actually DJ’s is Kaskade rest is pre recorded
@@djcarlo Which is still cool because they're all great producers
Love your job man, learn a lot from your videos! ❤️
Thanks man! I certainly do! Nothing is better than being a UA-camr! Thanks for the love!
Does anyone love their own cities Dj's I used to love going around the US and my favorites were DJ Honey TN DJ Vicious V CA DJ IL has this one DJ thats been mixing the same tracks for the last 34yrs That guy is a FRIKN Legend.. Anyhow does anyone love their own local DJ?
I do! The person you mentioned certainly sounds like a cool guy! Hope to hear him play one day!
@@djcarlo I want to hear you live some day. Even though I follow and listen in it's nothing compared to actually being there and experiencing the ambience in the room.
First Demo Song at Chorus to Chorus? I‘m searching this Song everywhere but cant find it
Unfortunately, I forgot what I renamed it from. Sorry!
0:55 never eq? So even the base on both tracks is always in neutral position?
From what I've seen, yeah!
Fact of the day. To some djs flanger is a nightmare. 😂😂.
Lols, like me!
quality video as always ! ty
Always try to do my best Don!
Awesome video Carlo,can you please do a breakdown on BLASTERJAXX!!👍🔥
Might check out Blasterjaxx for a future breakdown Selene!
Thanks carlo!!
can you do a same tutorial but for dj pad hercules controller inpulse 200? because there i don't know how t o change the key and i would like to know
Hmmm, I wouldn't recommend changing the key of the song because that might distort how the track sounds. But to make the song go faster or slower, make use of the pitch faders near the middle of the controller.
Another brilliant and well made video! Thank you 🙏☺️
Thanks Scott! Glad you liked the breakdown!
This is awesome, I just found your channel, thank you for the wealth of information.
You're welcome Peter! Glad you like the content, and welcome to the channel!
but are two djs better than only one? - just kidding. Very informative video!
Glad you think so Parox! Always wanna keep educating!
Is this advertisement or a how-to video? :p nah, all good! nice to see break downs of other dj-skills - thx!
Bwahahaha, half and half. But I really do love doing break downs. Glad you liked it Florian!
@DJ Carlo Atendido Yoo Carlo could you repost the video "9 Hours of DJ Mixes to Party (Nonstop Megamix 2022)" that was my favorite mix bro
- PS - if it was pulled, you could always just edit out the song that it was pulled for from the video.
It's still here as far as I can see! Let me see what's been happening with it. Got a few comments asking about it.
Respect big brother.
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Amazing when you break it down. 2 Djs mixing 2 tracks. Then you have someone like James hype, 1 DJ mixing 4 tracks 😂 then Carlo here, can do it all on even the most basic controller 😆 👍🏽
Hahahaha, thanks Ramon! I just want to keep things different per breakdown :D
That's why Carlo should be N.O1
Nice video! These guys are my idols
They've got some banger productions out there!
Love your videos! Didn’t plan on getting on board the dj world until I watch your videos (thanks UA-cam algorithm!) now I bought a flx6 and it’s supeeeerb! Can you do more videos about timing transitions and when/how to use them like you did in this video? Thank you
My main tutorial video touches on that topic the most! It should be under "how to DJ for beginners" and I've got loads more on the channel just like that!
Thanks Carlo! Another really cool tips video! I get to watch a lot of headlining electronic acts mix as I am a stage manager and DJ backline tech. I have a question, when DJs transition like this without using EQs and instead just the volumes, doesn't it run the signal into the reds whilst the two tracks play?
It potentially could! The individual tracks will remain below the red, but with the overlapping lows and highs, there's a very big chance of that happening.
@@djcarlo I took another look at the mixing part of this video, I think Dimitri might be adjusting the trim on the tracks before and after adjusting volumes which might be how they counter it sounding like mush.
Hey Carlo! Can you breakdown Tchami next?
I'll try to give Tchami a shot in the future!
This is what I need....you are awesome ❤️❤️
You're awesome too Chandan! Glad you enjoyed the breakdown!
I never even thought of not EQ'ing my tracks but I do mix in key. Very informative and something I will try. Thanks for keeping the art fresh and fun Carlo. Btw sponsored by Best Buy? Nice!
Thanks Jack! It was fun trying to figure out how these guys functioned because I know for a fact their sets never seem to drop the energy from start to finish.
Bro in watched this video but my doubt not cleat yet my question is in dvlm tomorrowland 2018 show they played house of house what like mike doing please tell bro
sure I'll get to working on that suggestion of yours!
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the question. Could you elaborate? :)
@@djcarlo bro please play dvlm tomorrowland 2018 show and see song house of house .than you see like mike singing and doing something i can't understand what he is doing in mixer bro now you understand easily
What if you mix rnb and you’re djing on song requests how do you mix off key with different bpms?
That's where you'll need to use your discretion. Mixing in key doesn't have to be an absolute with certain genres, but EQing the song right during the transition will definitely make it smoother
Thank you for another great video man! 👌🏾 Every one of them helps out so much.
glad to hear your kind words! thank you for them! more awesome mixes to come next!
Thanks Kris! Glad you learned something new from the video!
Anyone know what song is at 11:06? Cool track.
That's We Do Voodoo's Bla Bla Bla I believe :)
@@djcarlo That's it! Thanks.
Inkey you see some guy dancing on the mixer lol
Lols, I've seen that. I think it was DVBBS when they performed in Manila.
But the al the Bluetooth Speakers have delay when you use it with a mixer right?
Not all of them! Some are actually pretty well-optimized in terms of delay.
Can you review a dubstep Or dnb DJ already 😟 we have a bunch edm Djs on your Channel but barely any dubstep Djs.
I've had a few requests, but I'm just going by the ones who've got overwhelming demand in the comments first. I might go with a Dubstep or DnB DJ eventually when I've familiarized myself more with the genres' mixing styles.
Love these videos. If you want my advice, play great records.in key and you can’t go wrong.
Thanks McAwesome! And gotta agree there; melodic mixing is great!
Yo dj carlo, i want to ask if you could say how Sound of legend mix ? Btw your video are realy cool and you learn me how to djing so thank you 👍
Ps im french so sorry for my grammar😂
I'll need to look into Sound of Legend to find out how they mix, but thanks for the recommendation!
Never heard of these guys before but I’m pretty out of the loop these days. For me Ed Rush and Optical. Nice break down though.
Thanks DarkSouljah! They had a high point, I'd say, in 2015, just to give a timeline of when they were at their peak for me
You should do a video about Roger Sanchez!
Maybe in a future video bud! Thanks for the suggestion!
Sasha in the lab LDN! 8mins in what’s that sfx?
That should've been the high pass filter! :)
What ipad pro mixer software do you use? Great videos. Thanks
Djay Pro! Best one for iPads
Looking to get a dj controller, what do you suggest is the best for real life doing pioneer rev 1 or the ddj flx 4. I saw your video and it's seems both are great. But if you had to choose based on your years of experience what would it be? Thanks, again great channel!
siempre me aparecían tus videos como recomendaciones pero no los abría por que estaba en ingles, ahora que los veo con subtítulos me he dado cuenta que me perdía de mucho, gracias por los consejos
I'm glad the subtitles work properly Erick! :D
Hey Carlo i have many doubt and questions about dj radio shows. Please make a video on it as i am planning to start my own radio shows soon and i need some tips to make a better.
Hmmm, that's not my kind of DJing though! I have a friend who might be willing to answer your questions because he works for an actual radio station
@@djcarlo tell me his name i will contact him for my questions.
0:21 oh you missed the drop 🤦🤦 holy shiit ... How can you miss thaat Jaw dropping drop ( DVLM , NR - everybody clap)
Keeping it in would've triggered UA-cam copyright stuff, and this video could've been taken down haha
@@djcarlo haha 😄
First of all,just because a song charts better than another,does not mean it's actually a better song. It is more POPULAR and that's exactly what this is about. It's not that hard to play with a mixer and press tons of buttons since the gear does the majority of the work.Just because something is a fact that some do not like does not mean it's 'hating'. Basically the DJs job is to entertain or make dancers lose their minds.I personally do not DJ with anyone because I am fast and deft enough to do the whole job by myself. I do not do more dancing than half the crowd because I generally am busy making the music talk,adding sounds,adding efx,and I do NOT mix most of my records in the same places,same style.I also choose more music that speaks for itself and does not need a lot of efx/processing,and that i can play the turntable itself..
That's fair Michael! Every DJ has their own style, selection, and sway to the mix, so just keep doing what you're doing best and give your audience a good time!
@@djcarlo The better DJs do not get stuck in a style,they are flexible,versatile,and command respect with their music delivery. I was saying I am the DJ not the dancing crowd,and that's my JOB behind the decks.
How in the world are those two considered top deejays? Who made the picks?
DJMag hahaha. They're the highest duo in the top 100
@@djcarlo Wait, DJing is like a beauty contest right now? Dude, these guys are anywhere near DVS1 or Oscar Mulero, to name a pair. They're just two clowns. Zero deepness, zero digging quality, zero getting the crowd out of the comfort zone, zero drive.
Love your breakdowns. Awesome video
thanks man! so happy. you enjoy these types of video!
Thanks Marcrea! Glad you love the breakdowns!
Carl Cox is the number 1, for decades.
Though this is the DJMag number one duo. Carl Cox would be one of the top solo DJs :)
Also you forgot to mention many other ways of MIK. Like energy mixing +2 or +7 (changing by half or full semitone) or minor to major mixing which is +5....Sad u don't tell your audience how many options u really have.
I've actually done an entire video dedicated to MIK Danyal! That's why I didn't focus exclusively on it here; I didn't want to take away from the main subject of this video.
How much advertisement do you want? Yes.
Lols, got bills to pay man!
You should do a video on FJAAK, they are my favourite dj duo!
Those guys are super dope! I will.for.sure.check.them.out!
Excellent breakdown kapatid!
Great as always carnal! Greetings from cabo!
Thanks man! Appreciate the good feedback! Hope you can share the video to help me out even more!
Thanks man! Appreciate the good feedback! Hope you can share the video to help me out even more!
Currently still saving up to buy my first controller and after binge watching all these vids I don't think ill be having a hard time DJing when I finally have one. Haha appreciate your content man :)
Thanks Zach! You never know man, you might know enough to make your own set the moment you get your first controller!
mixing in key ?...lol..
never worried about this mixing vinyl...lol...
keeping the energy lol....I think people just get bored easily nowadays and it's very dependent on the style of music...
You'd be surprised about how some songs that sound good together are BECAUSE they're mixed in key! It's not something that should be rigidly followed in club sets, but getting the right songs with the right keys together does make for a crowd pleasing mix. Mostly because they won't know that the songs changed, and they'll suddenly be singing to something new without realizing it!
@@djcarlo I mix about 8 different styles....also key wasn't an issue years ago...
One dj can easily do what those two do so are they good?
They do things that solo DJs can't do at times, but most of their powers lie in production!
