    Good songs combination at the end of the video, I'm convinced that a producer can become a good DJ in a short time because he "knows" how the music works.

    This was 1000x more insightful and detailed on how to actually utilize each function, than the garbage tutorials they try to pass off in the program. I watched those damn things over and over and was still hitting a brick wall with how it was supposed to function. This saved my desire to play it. I may use add some cyberpunk effects to my personal material after the fact.
    To anyone looking into 1 of these. I love mine, would recommend. Really good base product for the beginner. And thanks to this video. I will be enjoying mine a shit ton more now!!!!

      @@khizarbhatti9247 legit as a dj you can charge 50 Dollars per hour and people will gladly pay.
      Don't charge the full amount up front ex:" I'll dj the whole event for 100$"
      because if you're doing a good job people will want you to stay and parties can be from 1-5 hours long so it's best to charge hourly so you don't get ripped off .
      Think about it like this dj for five hours and get paid 250$ in a day
      Or dj for five hours and get paid 100$ in a day
      Also make sure all your equipment is next to you at all times or go with a friend because people like to steal and finesse.

    Nice tutorial and encouraging. Liked the way you looped the tracks! I've spun tracks in my day and even called myself a so called dj. With djing software and a DJ controller I have just learned in 48 hours of surfing the web and UA-cam that this is what you need to be a DJ in this era. I've purchased two controllers already but this one along with the software makes the whole process and idea easy. Guess I'll be purchasing a third controller. Not guess but definitely! Thanks 👍👏 (I checked out your channel subbed by the way.)+++

  • @SlotCar2021
    @SlotCar2021 Рік тому

    The tempo faders are hard to get bang on tempo, so you can tempo match and have track 1 at say 129 and try and bring a 120 bpm on track 2 up to 129 but it usually ends up being at 128.95 and that means the tracks will get out of sync. The easiest option is just to hit sync. On the hurcules dj academy they use two tracks that are at the same bpm.
    More expensive controllers have more control over fine adjustments of bpm, not sure if it can be changed in software so it is easier to hit on the impulse 200?
