Huge shoutout to Hercules for sponsoring this video and sending me their DJControl Inpulse 200 controller. If you want an easily affordable DJ controller perfect for beginners and want to follow along with this video, I highly recommend checking out this controller: bit.ly/hercules-djcontrol-inpulse-200
This video was in my recommendation. Is UA-cam hinting at something to me?
Bro you are freakin awesome!!!! I want to be a DJ and watching other videos only complicated things. But this gave me a better idea. I really appreciate this video. Thank you😁😁🙌🏼🙌🏼
I have the djcontrol instinct p8
Calling all DJs, i have a question:
If i want to start DJing,
Do I or should i start with beginner equipment (like ddj400) or can i immediately learn from high end equipment? Is it better for me to start with something cheap like ddj 400 or can I use something like this or ddj 1000 to start? And why? Can't i start learning the basics on a high end system?
@@kryzkat8762 thank you...i guess ill get the ddj 1000 but focus on the basics first before learning the extra functions

Aman Choudhary 03:06 here 🤦🏻♀️
it is literally 3:15 am rn and im watching this
its 10 and im 14 with a dj controller. i dont know whats happening
Yup...its 3:05 n i'm watching this even though i dont need it..😅😅
I love it when smart people make difficult things seem simple... thanks man!
Every minecraft redstone youtuber
Lol🤣🤣🤣
I never been a dj in my life or anything like that but I think this is fairly simple
@@matthew3661 trust me mate this is only the beginning. It's not just about mixing tracks. The art of djing is about what the people want and also how you deliver it to them(through mixing).
Im really wanna be a dj
why did I suddenly want to become a dj at 3am in quarantine
I feel you bro
How's it going
@@DeeEditor1 the passion was gone long ago m8😔

2022 00:25 l think l wanna do it too😂
Your watching this video cause you love music and all you wanna do is express yourself through turn tables and it’s something only true artists understand and I just wanna let you know you got this bro keep going and keep pushing yourself to be the best version on yourself cause only you know how to be you 🎉
Thank you man! I wish you the best and hope you conquer all your battles in the future. Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve. We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes―understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.
Thank you❤
I’m a woman, but thanks.

I love this comment
Me: turns volume knob

You can be brother just be confident

Beginner DJs, do NOT fade between songs with the crossfader when you start. Use the volume faders instead. Leave the crossfader in the middle. Come back to the crossfader later. It made starting out much easier.
why?
@@Nikolay-Shterev In short, it's easier to make your mix sound better. The cross-fader is basically just a single volume control for both left and right simultaneously, so you can't use it to precisely control the volume of one side without effecting the other. For house and techno, I've only really seen beginners use a crossfader if they were learning since the concept is simple. If you're skilled, the main reason to use a crossfader is to quick-juggle the beats for creative turntablism style hip-hop mixing.
Not only is it ergonomically easier to keep your crossfader at center and just use individual volume controls, but you're using the best tools on the board to do it. Having a pair of vertical 3 inch independent volume controls one each side is better than a single horizontal volume control with paired to both sides (ie a crossfader).
What laptop do I need to
I’m coming back to say THANK YOU, bro I had no idea how to even mix, I mean it sounded nice, but my transitions sometimes sounded forced. I started like 3 weeks ago out of boredom and man this tip really helped.
Ive been djing for 6 years but i still watched this😂😂
Same
Am new in this am tryng to learn is virtual dj recommend fr club djs?
Haha same here😂
@@kimberlyzebras1629 Yep I use it bro started 3 years ago and never looked back.
Kimberly Zebras you should learn Rekordbox/Serato
You don’t know how this worked out! This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen in my entire life! Just because of this video I am subscribing to your UA-cam channel! Keep up the good work!👍
Alright, you got me right away. I think I’ll be watching a lot of you to guide me along. I’ve always to start DJing for fun so let’s see how things go!
How is it going?
USAirsoft?
U doing it ?
Guess it ain’t going so well
If there's one person i didn't expect to see here it's you xd
6:00 is where, you convinced me to become a DJ
DJ software & DJ controller (hardware)
Parts:
1. Decks
Left-Deck 1
Right-Deck 2
2. Crossfader-to control what deck will sound
3. Tempofader-to adjust the tempo
4. Vinyls-to fast-forward or rewind song and for beat matching.
How to load on decks:
1. Click & drag the song from library to the decks
2. Adjust the upper middle button to navigate library (you can press it to highlight) and press the load button when ready.
Rules of Djing:
It's better to choose two songs with similar tempo (speed of the song) or BPM (beats per minutes)
Tempo match and beat match.
Incredibly helpful for absolute beginners! I started DJing inspirated by this video. I can recommend. Very much appreciated!
been producing for years but i barely knew what djs even did until a few months ago aha this helps a lot thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial! This makes me more confident in learning to DJ and having that DJ table makes things super simple, you've made my aspirations much easier to obtain!
hows it going bro
Thanks, been a little frustrated with myself trying to teach my daughter. This video helps her immensely.
One of the best tutorials on UA-cam. Well done.
Never underestimate the power of simplicity. Thank you for making a clear, focused, simple tutorial. 🎧
Why am I watching this, I have my exam tomorrow and I don't even have a dj!
I have my first gig this weekend and this has really helped a lot
For more advanced DJs I really really REALLY recommend you learn how sound works and frequencies. Use the eq. If you learn this, you can mix WHATEVER you want. I'm 15 and been djing for 5 years. That is my greatest tip that I wished I had learned earlier. PLEASE try learn it I promise you wont regret it!!
wtf since you were 10??? i’m 18 tryna learn you’re a legend 😂
i want to hear one of your sets
@@CaliIzActive sure mate
@@slimjimigari8836 same😂😂
and where do I learn about sound and frequencies ?

Sure, here's a sample comment in English for a beginner's guide to DJing video on UA-cam:
Thanks for creating this amazing guide! I'm just starting out with DJing and this video has been super helpful. Your explanations are easy to follow and the examples are perfect for someone new to the craft. I can't wait to try out these techniques and start playing some tracks myself. Keep up the great work!
Just bought mine a week ago and I just got it today! So excited 😬
I haven't seen a more helpful video than that.Thank you
Love your voice brother!

Ok I have no idea how long I’ve been your fan but i think it’s time for me to start! ❤️
Trust me, you can be an awesome teacher.
I am already a DJ but still watched the whole thing because I like that enthusiastic energy that was coming from you. I recently purchased a Traktor S2 Mk2 for practicing at home. Can you please make a begining-end tutorial for Traktor S2 Mk2, because there are only few ones, but not that good. I'm sure people love it.
Love from india❤️🇮🇳

Thanks for showing me the best adjustment. I have the same set up.
You can turn on the vinyl setting..you know the 'werka werka' hahaha I found this part probably too funny. Thank you for putting this together! It is super informative.
Wonderful..... have learnt alot
With all of your tutorials, I always feel really good and confident after, so thank you for that. My one problem is that I always finish your videos and seem stuck on where to go next. I would love to get into music production and mixing more but I only know the basics and feel blind about where to go from here. If anybody has any suggestions that would be awesome! Great tutorial btw man, keep it up 💙
ReadAgain the next step is to just “go from there” just keep trying
Same here.. I find myself wanting to ask questions to a real person all the time.. For stuff there is no vids for
Look within.
I got a controller because of you,thank you so much!!!!
Nice review. Well done actually. And the bundled software is quite good it seems. For being more versatile, VirtualDJ software is also a good choice
Cool explaining man, thanx🔥
Awesome program
thanks this helped my transitions alot!
Super informative video 🔥💯🙏🏾
Thanks for the tips
You did a great job explaining things . Thanks!
