I have just got the DDJ-400 great video Phil. I am 54 and just starting to learn to dj as a hobby for something to do as I had a heart attack and stroke. I have subscribed to Beatsource Link also to get music. Keep up the good work top tutor and top man
this is so cool ❤️
Good luck
DJ'ing is so fun! I started as a hobby as well and learned so much from this video! I use Beatport Link. I love the charts and curated playlists there. always learning, getting better.
I just decided to get into the DJ scene myself. I'm almost 51 and want to set up something that I can work towards when I can't do back-breaking labor anymore. How are you coming along after nine months of learning? I'm not sure how long to expect it to take to learn enough to start djing for family and friends.
@thomas pym, I am also 50 from South Africa doing the same as you as a hobby. Let's treasure life mate
Your style of teaching is so good - the perfect amount of information and easy for absolute noobs like me to follow along without it being condescending or too much detail :) love your work thank you so much keep it up!
I'm a beginner DJ with a brand new DDJ-400 and still learning the curves, and to tell you the truth your tutorial is the best so far by far. I feel like that I've learned like 10x times more over the course of 36mins than in 10 different videos added together. Really appreciate your work!
@DjPhilHarris. Really?
Your videos are so informative and easy to understand compared to alot of other videos on youtube. Thank you sir! 👏🏾
This video was perfect for me. I’m a beginner but have somewhat of an understanding of everything on the board. The rabbit holes you went down to explain everything in more detail was so helpful for understanding how and when to use certain features. Feel like I just made a huge leap from where I was at just from watching this video!
So excited to be able to find you so quickly. I sure appreciate the free DJ trainning. It not only helps an intermediate DJ like myself little tricks that are often very useful.
Man, such a great teaching style, Phil. Easy to follow and entertaining. Thanks so much for all of your videos!!
I watched several videos in my language (Brazilian Portuguese) until find your channel and really understand in a simple and objective way how to create the first effects with my DDJ-400. Very good teaching, thanks and success, your effort is noble.
This video helped me so much! Everything I need to start in one place! Thanks for putting this together.
This has to be the best beginners tutorial on UA-cam. I've learned so much. Thanks
If been djing for 30plus years Phil.....but I still found myself watching this ALL the way through......obviously I didn't learn anything but your learning technique for noobs is fantastic. Well done mate.......not sure we have the same view on memory ques though. 👍✌🙌🙌🙌🙌
This is such a helpful video, packed with all the right info I was confused on, and explained clearly, but not dumbed down to a demeaning sort of way. Definitely saving this vid and subscribing. Thank you for all of this and keep up the great work! :)
bro, you're an amazing instructor! thank you.. all the best from Istanbul.
Thanks Phil, you make everything super clear and easy to understand, thank youuu! I learnt loads from this video :)
After a 2 year Covid break I finally have my first gig again in a couple of weeks on my new DDJ-400 and I'm a bit rusty and turned more into an Ableton studio DJ than a real-live one but your tutorial was a good fresh start to discover what I can do with the 400. You're a great tutor! Thanks a million :)
THANK you for this video and thank you for explaining all the little bits so eloquently.
Just ordered a DDJ-400. Watching this video on repeat while I wait for it to arrive. Awesome video.
GREAT vid Phil! still trying to move it from total beginner to simple novice and this video is exactly what I needed. Cheers mate!
definitely a good intro to mixing! much appreciate for putting this tutorial together!
Thank you for this video, I’ve had the DDJ 400 as my first deck for a few months now and you explained everything so well! Some of the things I had been struggling to understand were made crystal clear. So thank you so much for your hard work, I’ll become a regular on your channel.
Hands down the best beginner tutorial out there. Really appreciate the simplicity and theory behind mixing. Also the rabbit hole discussions were awesome. Instant sub.
"There's four beats to a bar - this is ALWAYS the case"
This made my day :)
That said, this video is one of the bests out there to explain DJ'ing - well done!
I'm picking up my DDJ 400 tomorrow.
I'm soaking all this good info in
How is it now that you’ve had a day to play with it???? I have mine sitting in my passenger seat on my way back from Guitar Center right now🤣
@@jamescoplen9309 got mine from guitar center late last night. Didn't get a chance to play with it.
Headed home now.
Got all weekend
@@jamescoplen9309 I'm about a week into it. I'm learning how to mix a little. Starting to get my timing and learning some of the side effects
This was absolutely fantastic. You're such a good teacher. 11/10
Loving this guide..... So many take it for granted that everyone has a knowledge....I know a bit..... but this is perfect for an absolute beginner.... well done !!!!!!!!!
Hey big props for you. I´ve watched a lot of videos here but I´ve liked yours the most cause you have such a chilled and calm way of talking. Really learned a lot cause youre explaining everything on point. Makes it easy to understand. So Thanks for that!
Fantastic video, complete beginner and this makes a lot of sense, waiting for my DDJ 400 to arrive and will give this a go!
Just got myself a DDJ400 to DJ at weddings after I finish singing and this is by far the best and most helpful video I've found so far. You got a new sub, thanks man.
Loved the video. So helpful. All the little in-depth side topics you went off on really helped to put a better understanding to the main topic you were talking about. So don't feel sorry for them! Thanks so much.
Best dj channel on UA-cam i swear🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ive watched this video at least 8 or 9 times.... and still learn something new each time... Thank you.
I just picked up my own DDJ400 and this video was wicked helpful!!
I got my DDJ-400 end of last year after watching your tutorials! Much love Phil!
Oh mate the way you explain this is incredible. Thank you so much

Yoooooo!!!!! I’ve had mine for 4-5 months, and it is absolutely awesome!!!!!!! It’s great for beginners like me, I’m hoping to upgrade to a bigger controller or deck
Mine too
Me three ☺️
Im about to get the 200. Should i just get the 400? Im a beginner.
@@nxs6musique140 get the 400 if you can..
Such a good guide!! Really helped me out. Cheers Phil!
Thanks a lot! you're so clear explaining everything!
I got a DDJ-SB3 a year ago and I've spent most of my time listening to music and learning it :D I guess that's the part which takes most of your time - know your music and prepare it beforehand
I was a early 2000s vinyl dj and left the craft behind because digital started taking over and it was very overwhelming thinking of having to put in the amount of time learning all over again. Your videos really make it easier and way less overwhelming!
Damn that’s a shame. Many great vinyl DJs are still around and rocking the clubs…
Loved it. Thanks Phil!! Your the best
this video was so helpful i cannot thank you enough
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
So glad I have found this tutorial it`s been a massive help. kudos to you fella.
loved this! so entertaining too
Phenomenal!! This is exactly what I needed to know to feel comfortable that I can learn how to DJ!!I'm sure I could have stumbled my way through it and now I can fast track my learnings!! Thank you so much, will be making my purchase of the DDJ-400 shortly!! Thank you!!
Super helpful - great coaching style!
When you mixed that in I fist bumped the sky!! Thanks. Great show.
Got the FLX4 last week and couldn’t find a good free tutorial, this one really helped me. Thank you for making this video really helped me out and i like the way of teaching.

Love the video!! Super informative
Hi Phil, your teaching is simple and the best 🎉❤
Thank you 🙏
U tha man Phil, this vid is of great help & I can’t wait to apply ur advice & tips
This would probably be my first set of decks. Have a friend who's willing to teach me the ways of the force. Glad I found this video, this is what I needed more in depth stuff when learning. Lots of other channels just ramble through it. You're great at what you do, DJ and teaching. I'm doing my best to follow along.
Do you get the leads from laptop to decks with the decks. Or do u have to buy them
@@smokecloud73 they come with them
Total beginner here and I just bought the ddj flx4! The blending part at the end of your video was exactly what I needed to learn. Thank you!!!
I've just bought the FLX4 too, can't wait to get onto that because it has more stuff for me to play with than the Party mix I started on
Love your humor mate , good job
Your tutorial helped me out a lot, thank you Phil!
Thanks a lot for this video... My controller is coming in a week. This will surely help me a lot ❤️

Thank you so much, the headphone and cueing part was so helpful. You rock sir
Thank you for this wonderful instructional. Loved it so much!
ahh thank you so much for this video it really helped me a lot. Ive had my ddi 400 for about 4 weeks now, I have been mixing a bit but also didn't really know what I was doing. You gave me loads of insight. I appreciate it
Bro! it's Amazing You solved my problem! Thanks!!!
PERFECT level of detail.
thank you very much for this info it's amazing, just got my DDJ 400 :-)
Man this is an excellent video. so well put together even the muffling of your voice, haha. I was a dj for 10 years and had 1210's cdj 500's and 1000's all antiques now. I'm just getting back into things and this has been a fantastic refresher and clarified for me that i need to start with the ddj400 because its the nice inbetween the pro stuff and the old equipment i had. fantastic video i got so much out of it , lots of clarity on the new features that i can create cue's and looking forward to getting back to the clubs.
Thanks Phill you are the best
