![How To DJ With Radio Edits [10 tips & tricks for success] 💯](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ap5CAMNLne8/mqdefault.jpg)
Nice info DDT. Keep it coming.
I'm a 66 year old active club/wedding/hotel dj and have always kept up with with everything related to my job as DJ.
A lot of weddings want radio versions of songs and not a lot of mixing still in most of the USA. Because it is not the couple getting married paying the dj it is their parents! I do and have always done mini sets. I love requests. I use my eyes, ears and brain to judge the crowd, not a computer screen. And I make sure I keep my attention on the room. Cheers.
Sounds like you're doing everything right!
Thanks Phil sounds like an excellent course really good information video keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
I actually got this course once it hit, really enjoyed it and I still go back to it to refresh some of the modules, also picked up the complete DJ course, Dance music course and now the new Serato 3.0 course…used spin my vinyls back in the 80’s but now with the new technology I’m having a lot of fun!!! Thank you Phil and DDJT crew!!!
You're welcome Benny :)
Thank you man :D
Happy to help
Hi Phil. I agree with your statement about mixing. Back in the late 90's up till mid 00's I had the confidence to mix using pitch bend , kill switches (all before stems and a lot of effects) . Since teaming up with some one who didn't do this my mixing got lazy.
Now I'm really nervous about doing this.
My confidence in my mixing has declined.
I can still beat mix , but effect mixing has me running form the hills 😢😢
You just need to get back on the horse Stuart!
Love this video. I'm interested in the wedding classes. I kind of go with any track. I love the idea of mini sets.
Take a look on our Courses page! :)
Good video good information
So nice of you
As a former club/bar DJ, I find it fascinating to hear what Wedding DJs do. I think I definitely had it easier. The mini sets is definitely something I will use going forward. 👍
Thanks for sharing! Hope you find minisets useful.
Catching up and getting excited for the new course! Already got some Q's. They will be coming to you very soon 😉 Great Tuesday Live to whet our appetite 🙂👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Very interesting masterclass. The risk of having active loop (understood at a key section of the track not at the end for emergency purpose) is to always make the same mixing out of the playing track. Lets be vigilant and desactivate it from time to time to avoid confort mixing
I do mini sets too. Have a theme too. It helps make your mini sets make sense of direction and purpose! 👍🏽😁
Yes it does!
Can you do a demonstration using the rev1 and stems 3.0
DJ Software is awesome at gridding House and EDM, but I have yet to find one that even comes close to Original Disco, R&B, Funk and Old School. Gridding these genres is hard work, worth it but the greatest buzz kill for my DJ enthusiasm is trying to grid old school. Buy the time I have gridded 6 or 7 songs I am completely tired of the whole thing and have to walk away...sometimes for days.
Do you have a mixcloud account?
Rekordbox is pretty good even at older material nowadays.
@@DanAlexandruGeorge I don 't, but if it will help I will get one.
LOL, you should try to grid Latin music like Salsa. The results are very interesting 😂
@@bachatavideos9789 I will, I love Salsa and if it takes a little extra to grid it, at least I get to hear the music while I'm working. And with that Latin energy all around me I can get a deeper feeling for each track which will pay big dividends in my live sets. Thanks, with Rekordbox and Salsa, I'm actually looking forward to the gridding session.
If your on serato you can also pres shift or control and tap the cue point to change the color if i am not mistaken
Good tip, we'll have to try that
Earth Wind and Fire -September there is no way to loop anywhere so i guess I’ll fade it out at the end . Some songs are just full on so i try to use Flip if its a really long track
Hello Phil yes people now a days hate quick mixing so I don't do it
Depends on the crowd of course.
In reference to Beat Gridding, how do you beat grid a song like Blondie - Heart Of Glass where in the middle the drummer has that beat stutter which throws the grid off?
The only thing i could think of is to throw it ito Audacity or a program similar and edit it so it stay's a four beat pattern but it's a unique thing for that song and it would ruin it. Any suggestions would be great. AAAANNNNND GO!
In that instance, it is going to throw your bars off, but not your beats, so beatgrids will still work at a beat level.
Hey Phil, what's the best DJ controller for home use and the cheapest way to get music to play on it? TIA
Depends on your budget but for a few hundred pound you can get a set up and start playing if you already have a laptop
@@MistaJayLJ Got a pretty new laptop and mucked around with virtual DJ etc...
I am a beginner what is the best way of getting song list is it save them from Spotify what is your computer or macs best set up for playing songs and moving from lists. I'm only using winamp at the moment because it's easy.
You can either DJ from a streaming service such as Tidal, or add your own music files
@digitaldjtips Thank you! I presume once you have a subscription you can downloud and then play offline
Been doing the mini sets without even realizing hahaha
Good on you!
How many pre planned loops should I prepare? I would think at least 7 right? Let me know!
What, per track?
@@digitaldjtips - yes . Per track how many pre planned loops? I’m sure every song is a little different
You can use up to 8 cues per song??? Or is that too many
Usually 3-4 is fine
@@digitaldjtips - amazing channel! My favorite,! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
👍👍👍👍👍
Key mixing is gonna be huge now that Serato has stems. Your mix will sound like crap is you vocal doesn’t match the instruments. Old school DJs try to to tell me different. They sound like crap! Trust me stay in key with Acapellas!!!
I listen back to old acapella mixes I did on vinyl decades ago when they weren't in key... all I can say is "it was acceptable in the 80s!" 🤣
Phil described me... Doing this for 50 years.... .01%er baby (well actually only 35 years) doing it
Good work Stevie
@@digitaldjtips although what i said is true, you never stop learning, never stop improving. That is why I find Digital DJ Tips, and other sites/channels with similar content to be invaluable. Once you stop improving yourself, someone else is getting better. So thank you Phil, and the Digital DJ Tips team.
i think i dont need so many resources to be a good dj, all of the new digital resources of the controllers cost money (inclouding your courses) and these is what they (and you) need, money and to convert us in a digital slaveries..... On the other side, all of these digital resources (loops, hot cues, etc) need time to be applied to every song, so, what is the real practicity of all this software?. DJ is the art to put the right music for the right people on the right moment...
So why are you here? Nobody's forcing you to hang around... 🤷🏻
Carl Cox aint slim......
Well, that's true!
