This is hands down the best beginner dj video I've found on UA-cam!!! I've been watching so many for about a month now, and none broke down the basics like you did. I feel confident and excited going into practice, rather than overwhelmed and lost. Thank you so much!! Would love to see more from ya. -4our
I agree, this is bringing it back to basics. We all need to crawl before we can run. Look into Music Theory and also Song Structures. I found these very handy in understanding how music works and how songs are structured. And don't forget to Practice Practice Practice.
I did do some old school mixing on my mates vinyl decks in the 80's and have just bought my first digital DJ controller, Numark Mixtrack Pro2. Looking forward to getting stuck into a journey learning with your help at the ripe old age of 64. About time someone talked in lay mans terms.
Thank you sooo much for this! Incredibly helpful- this video is one of the best I’ve seen hands down for learning how to dj. I’m buying my controller tomorrow and can’t wait to continue learning with you!
Yo! I appreciate what you said in the intro! often times we think we need the best and most expensive equipment to get started or be good at it but that isn't the case and this applies to so many situations in life. As a guitarist who wants to get into DJing I really want the least expensive way to get in so that I can experience and see if i really enjoy it or is it just another fad i have.
I think the thing is that the equipment is already at a high standard. Eg if you wanted to recommend an acoustic instrument, you may have a list of things to avoid when buying! Eg for flute, we have to buy or rent a 'student flute'. Not a flute from a music shop.... a flute from a flute shop. A guitar from a guitar shop...not a guitar from a generic music shop.
This tutorial is great because he supplies the example tracks as well, which ensures that everyone can follow this tutorial and match everything that he does. For absolute beginners this learning material is foundational. Something that might be super obvious to experts isn't necessarily known by everyone, like the counting of bars.
I want to thank you for the help I have been doing a lot of looking on UA-cam too fix my audio so thx a lot you got yourself a subscriber can't wait too see more!!!
You explained this perfectly for me a total beginner and stranger to the equipment. Thank you I was able to mix my first song. The follow along download and count was exactly what I needed. Thanks again. (YES) for the part 2 💯
IM 41 IM JUST FIGURING OUT MY PASSION TO LIVE LIFE IS THRU SHARING MY LOVE FOR THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC. LOVE AND HARMONY AMONGST HUMANITY THRU STAYINGL🔥T WIT D.J. STAYLIT I SEE NO COLOR MIX❤
I plugged my DDJ REV1 in, it automatically opened rekordbox (which I had) but I downloaded Serato for good measure and the controller still isn't responding ?? the lights are on but nobody is home kinda deal any help??
Great video my friend. Until now I use numark mixtrack platinum. But I want to buy a pioneer... This work with VIRTUAL Dj? Ddj flx4 work? Thank you in advance. Best regards
Great vid, but you did not address the most important piece of equipment: a good laptop. Im getting back into DJing after taking a long break. New DJ software versions like Serato Pro 2.6 and Yraktor Scratch Pro 3 struggle on old laptops like mine where the CPU/usage meter is maxed out. Songs sound glitchy, with digital artifacts, or simply freeze. The fact is, a new DJ must have a powerful laptop that will last the next several years and be prepared to buy a replacement or pay for a warranty or insurance plan. Without the laptop, you have nothing.
You know what a DJ consists of it's impossible to be a real DJ in 15 minutes turntables in records that's becoming a real DJ if you can't do nothing on those without the laptop you ain't shit your laptop is a DJ in 15 minutes that's it you will never be a DJ if you never learn from the beginning and started the right way
I would love additional tutorials since I am new to it and I have the DDJ-Rev1 I specifically would like help with simple scratch technique like transformer and where to get good samples like drum kit etc….
Hey I couldn’t mine and I’m not getting any noise out of it or the base shows it’s playing on the mixer how do I get it to work I got a rca cable and connected it to a speaker and I’m getting nothing
Question I was able to get the 1st side of the disc to work and play sound, but for some reason I can’t get any sound on my second 1, mad confused right now
This is really well done. The UI elements to circle things and such help a lot. The extra effort to include those is appreciated. Your general approach is great, man. 👍
You are awsome bro. You make it so much better then anyone on youtube. Your baby steps us what I need. Please make a complete set of lessons in a same teaching pattern nice and slow using the entire same setup or same controller. I went and bought same controller with Dell laptop. What's your input on windows vs Mac? I really appreciate it. 🙏🏾
Yes! Yes! I’m getting it! I’m almost an old timer and just started doing this just for fun. I got into a bit of inexpensive gear and your video has really gotten me in my way! Wish I could have a video like this everyday to practice and advance my skills. Thanks!!
The most luckiest thing I've always take it on the go that I have the most, Pioneer DDJ 400, HP 14 laptop, JBL Xtreme 2 and a pioneer DJ headphones. How lucky i am. 😎🔥🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯
Thank you for this detailed tutorial!! Very helpful for a beginner like myself. Quick question about the numbers, is there an easier way to remember the order of how they go? When I get to the 3, 2, 3, 4 ... 4, 2, 3, 4 part, its a bit confusing.
Try saying the number patter when you're just chillin without music and get the rhythm of that count. I just watched another video and the dj did it differently but I followed this technique and i was in synch with the video. It's a tutorial from Laidback Luke
thanks for the video. i used to dj back in high school. i stop djing back in 2010. i have 3 kids now and wanted to goback djing just for my kids. my option is hercules djcontrol jogvision just because of the jogwheel it remind me of my old technic turntable. second one is the pioneer rev1 because of the battle style. just cant desides which one. i live in canada so the hercules is about 429 canadian pioneer rev1 is 379 canadian. need help. thanks in advance.
Thanks so much this is better than others tutorials that i have watched this one is top im sure keen to learning from you for my because i have a brain of a child i put the number in a new document folder so i can repeat it

Is there a video I can watch on how to apply this skill to other songs when mixing them and to know when to change on other songs ?

If you don't have any speakers connected, will the sound come through the laptop/software itself instead?
You know what a DJ consists of it's impossible to be a real DJ in 15 minutes turntables in records that's becoming a real DJ if you can't do nothing on those without the laptop you ain't shit your laptop is a DJ in 15 minutes that's it you will never be a DJ if you never learn from the beginning and started the right way
Thank you bro. 1234 and you auto Subscribed. 😊
