    Always enjoy your Vinyl Mixing tutorials. I have been a DJ for over 30 years and nothing is more satisfying than to mix 2 records in perfect beat and key and keeping the flow of the music going. Keep up the Vinyl lessons, they are always helpful.

    Checking back in after 16 years, learnt so much from this man watching his videos in the local internet cafe and then going home to practice pitch riding. I'm now in my 40's and teaching my girlfriend to mix so came back for a teaching refresher.

  • @whereisboo
    @whereisboo 2 роки тому +4

    Thank you mate. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject and you're the first DJ to speak about the musical side of mixing, not just the technical beat matching side of it. Awesome. Very useful.

  • @captaindudeman3613
    @captaindudeman3613 3 роки тому +22

    Took my turntables out of storage and broke out all my old dnb, attempting to knock the rust off after 15 years.
    Struggling to cue, beatmatch, phrase match and EQ properly again.
    Thanks for the refresher now it's just practice practice practice ftw.

    • @theoracle7463
      @theoracle7463 3 роки тому +1

      DnB is harder than house, the beats differ from track to track and there isn't a set kick on every beat

    • @Crash-Rest-Yummy
      @Crash-Rest-Yummy 2 роки тому +2

      @@theoracle7463 For me dnb is more easy to mix , faster tempo (so u get feedback faster if the pitch is too fast or too slow), a clear snare ( mostly) to focus on, i never focus on the bass or beat, that confuses me. Get snares , hihat's , claps in beat, the rest follows.

  • @oleplanthafer7034
    @oleplanthafer7034 2 роки тому +8

    There is also another way....:
    This is all very fine, but applies mainly to House, Trance, etc, which were produced with beatmatching in mind.
    I am mostly playing Classic and Northern Soul as well as vintage Boss Reggae, so no long instrumental intros or outros, nor extended breaks.
    So I beatmatch New York Style, like Cool Herc did in '73, fading over just the bass (i.e, kickdrum) from track B to track A, while fading out the bass of track A, so you've got the bass track of track B accompanying the mids and highs of track A.
    Let this run for a moment, and then fade out midst and highs from track A whilst fading in mids and highs from track B. This way you avoid clashing vocals, harmonies, melodies, keys, etc.
    Full kill on all 3 frequency ranges for both channels is a must for this, but if you can: try it. It's really something else, it's really fun and it really excites the punters!

    Honestly….. I taught my self to play vinyl over the past 2 years snd I feel I’m pretty good….. scratch that, I taught my self and saw some of your videos. You’re well versed and give good info in a short amount of time. We appreciate your info bruv.
    I wish I didn’t have to learn about spl the hard way.
    To those learning…. If appears from what Iv seen that some people have a natural musical mind. Beat matching vinyl is a little hard at first, making sure you’re in “season” with 8/16/32 counts is even harder. Those whose brain doesn’t subconsciously count beats/melody’s are at a disadvantage.
    To some people, the cyclic nature of music, the “law” that is that law for how ever long that track is, and the physical manipulation of media just does something to satisfy the neurons when that mix is just right.

    I started sodding about mixing music about 3 yrs ago and gone down the digital route, would of loved to have been a vinyl junkie but that's a bit hard to do if you haven't been collecting vinyl for years or your not lucky enough to find someone with a job lot to sell, I would of got bored very easily....I bought some controllers and a week later had over 9000 tunes to do some bad mixing with (and hand on heart, can honestly say that I've never used the sync button). So unless you all want to donate 10 bits of quality vinyl each and in return, i'll happily find space for some decks, please stop knocking us digital junkies just because we have newer stuff with more flashy light on 😉.....it should be about the music and atmosphere you provide.
    Peace 💛

    awsome, nice tutorial. I might just add that for knowing the song frazes and beats, its really important that you are able to hear it and count it in your head, knowing when 16 beats passed, or 32 when it comes for drop in. Without this rhythm, its hard to be dj.

  • @justjames5698
    @justjames5698 11 місяців тому +1

    I've tried to show folk how to mix in my time with turntables. The hardest part is trying to explain music timings. For the majority of dance music its 32 or 64 beats. Theres 2 really important parts to mixing.
    1. Make sure you have the same genre of songs, you can drop the occasional "different" tune to give a lift or break up the monotony. However, constantly changing your song genre makes it messy and youll have confused people on your dance floor.
    2. Probably following on from above, know your records, know what direction you want to take folk.
    If you're playing weddings, have a collection of songs for everyone there. If youre playing a house night, make sure its house records and not pan pipe records.
    There's an art to this, but also you can have shoddy mixing and great tunes.

    simple thing .. hold the snare on a record , wait for the downbeat and release the record when snare hits . Means less chance of missing your moment . Between turntableism , jungle/dnb and garage / bassline i find it a useful way to mix
