This video was super helpful, I know you made this video as well as the video on doubles but if you made a video on a variety of other mixing techniques for cleaner transitions and surprises that would be so helpful!
I just started mixing, and these videos are great for explaining how to do something, and why to do it. Most tutorials or tips and tricks videos are being mixed with house music with insanely long music interludes, so I most definitely appreciate the videos. Liked and subbed and will most definitely be watching more of your content!
Super helpful because I struggle working with songs with differing BPMs. I usually just drop mix because I'm not confident. Props to you for showing us beginner DJs ways to mix!
Great video man. Theres not many on how to dj bass music so thanks for creating this. Quick question. If you "mess up", how do you get back on time without stacked waveforms. Say youre off by a a bar, how do you know youve caught up? This seems difficult for quick transitions like this
@@samgruse3824 assuming I’m off bar a bar to another song (like I’m going to double drop a track). I would quickly turn off sync. Jog the song forward slightly so I’m close to the bar. And then rehit sync which should pull it to be on grid and in sync again!
imo the best parts of a set to change bpm is to do it whenever there are no precussion or rythmic elements, like an atmospheric break from a drop, a new intro being introduced, or yeah to change bpm on a buildup, great vid tho very useful
Awesome video dude, you have a lot of knowledge to share. MayI suggest not pausing the video so much, just let us watch what’s going on and you can explain before or after
I’ve been musician for years . I’ve always wanted to learn how to create and mix. What would be a good beginner gear list for a newbie to get started??
Just a basic board like a ddj-400 (or anything rekordbox compatible) and rekordbox (plus a laptop that can run it!) I can make a video on this in the future
I could not for the love of god find the fundamentals of dubstep/brostep mixing anywhere on UA-cam lol you should definitely do like a basics video or like personal training lol I’d pay for that
@wheystedmusic the stuff that I personally need to learn is how to actually create a set that is going to sound good from the ground up, showing how anyone would come up with where they want transitions or doubles. I'm not sure if it's possible to really get all the information through my thick skull with a tutorial style video or if I'm best off trying to find some irl practice, sadly I don't have access to any local Dubstep genre DJ's since they don't exist here. DJ Carlo has a ton of great videos for house music stuff but Dubstep DJing seems to be an entirely different animal
@wheystedmusic hahaha I'll fly there and you make a video "teaching a basics noob DJ how to break necks" as I bombard you with a f**k ton of questions 🤣🤣🤣
@@chaniem.5422 honestly ask any questions here, or via dm on instagram! the more I know you (and my audience want to learn) the better I can cater these tutorials!
I do not. If you are jumping genres that are pretty close in bpm just find a good break in one genre and switch during the break. If you are going to go drastic bpm changes there are a lot of ways to do it, but it’s hard to explain over a comment
Great info! But how are going from the 150 dubstep down to the 100bpm dubstep. I feel like this method wont work for that well enough. Could use Wide mode to move that far, but may have to bring in some looping to hit that far of a change. I might experiment with some ideas over the weekend
If your going to drop from 150 to 100 your going to need a long break/ looping. Unless you are progressively bringing down the energy over time with multiple tracks to reach that destination! I’m thinking of doing a video on looping tbh
It’s all about their style. You can stay at 140-150 a whole set and it feel entertaining. Track choice, breakdown selection all is important. But at the same time it can be also very boring if you are just doing the same setup and drop over and over
@@stem7141 I’m sure they do to some extent. You can also see the visual bar markers if you have your tracks timed right. So you don’t need headphones if you know the track. But I don’t have a definite answer for that one
@@grooviestneedle ddjr 400 Really simple small board that I think is like $300-$400. It’s the one I started with and loved it. Not a lot of mixer features as far as fx go but that’s good early on as you want to learn the fundementals of djing
This video would be better if you had played the transitions as is and then explained it. Now you play/pause the video at random moments which don't really highlight what you just said.
It started from a dj’s back in the day not having that tool. So they were forced to learn beat matching. And they think they are better dj’s because they beat match every transition rather than pushing that red little button haha. But it’s a tool in your arsenal and you shouldn’t feel bad for using it!
Personally i avoid using sync in these situations and just bring the track in at the other bpm and use bpm reset at either the drop or a start of a phrase
Anybody getting into this hobby/career should just try and have fun with it, I wasted too many nights overthinking this stuff. Great video!!!
It’s all about having fun 🙂

Always easiest if there is no beat you have to worry about, Deff agree!
@@wheystedmusic so then all ud have to rly worry abt is the pacing of the set, but with changing bpm mid buildup i like bc hotcue abuse lol
Informative video with great examples. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you professor wheysted, I love learning from you
@@jacobpalmares4396 glad my content is something you enjoy 🙂
Great video thanks for showing your error and how you delt with it the breakdown was nice. I am very new are you setting up 8 or 16 bars apart
Great tutorial! Covered a lot of different tips and explained it well!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great stuff broski. Now you're just motivating me to get out there 😂
@@JONNYQUESTaka DO IT!
Do you have more DJ tutorials? You should make a playlist!
I have one for double dropping tracks! I’m at work so i can’t look it up. But if you type “Wheysted how to double drop” it should pop up 🙂
The goat 🔥🐐
I want to try to get into d. J hobby career, you're a f****** artist man. Keep it up
Thank you 🙂

Thanks for sharing some expertise!

dude you could totally keep making more of these video's and the channel would blow TF up
My 2 dj tutorials are my most popular videos tbh haha. Idk what to really cover tho. Any suggestions?

Yo yo I am a beginner and have been doing ecstatic dance sets.. my main issue is jumping genres. Do you have any videos on this?

I’m thinking of doing a video on looping tbh
@@wheystedmusic yeah I was thinking the same thing tbh. Doing such a large change definitely needs more time, and a break.
I never knew so many DJs only played the same bpm tracks in their set. I've always moved through different bpms in my sets
It’s all about their style. You can stay at 140-150 a whole set and it feel entertaining. Track choice, breakdown selection all is important. But at the same time it can be also very boring if you are just doing the same setup and drop over and over
thanks fam
Hope it helped 🫶
Does known DJ's like Subtronics/Muerte use sync ?
Because I don't see them with headphone that often
They use the return to sync tracks ?
@@stem7141 I’m sure they do to some extent. You can also see the visual bar markers if you have your tracks timed right. So you don’t need headphones if you know the track. But I don’t have a definite answer for that one
@@wheystedmusic This is sad that seeing the bar markers to adjust the track is view as something criminal to me for real
What are some begginner deck recommendations 😭?

is the outside flip on soundcloud?
That’s a flip I made and then used another persons drop. I believe it’s on SoundCloud I don’t recall the name of their drop tho unfortunately
Nice trans
This might be a dumb question, but why is there so much hate to using beat sync by a lot of DJ’s?
It started from a dj’s back in the day not having that tool. So they were forced to learn beat matching. And they think they are better dj’s because they beat match every transition rather than pushing that red little button haha. But it’s a tool in your arsenal and you shouldn’t feel bad for using it!
RIP Gilt
Did it close down!?
What is that levels remix?
I think it’s beastboi
@@wheystedmusic I had it saved at Levels (GhostProd Remix) for so long. lol. Thank you. 😂
Personally i avoid using sync in these situations and just bring the track in at the other bpm and use bpm reset at either the drop or a start of a phrase
That works just as well! No right or wrong way to get it done 🙂
