When you were talking about DVS and mention Serato was first actually it was Final Scratch, but FS had a lot of bugs! Serato became the go to just because of that. Great vid!
Just came here to make sure someone pointed this out. Love Serato but they definitely didn’t create the tech. So strange that Richtie Hawtin and friends created this technology and most everyone forgot within in decade. I guess that dude made his money though so I’m not worried about him.
@@DJWesReed no doubt. I know that he made mad money, I think Ni bought the code in improved it for Traktor but i'm not sure. i just remember it was here then Serato came and it bounced! Hawtin bought a small island and disappear, with all the money he made! LOL
Final Scratch version 1.1, Stanton Magnetics began working with Native Instruments on the software side of the product, which became Traktor Final Scratch. I've been using since the beginning. Serato came after Traktor.
Awesome intro for a lot of people. I clicked because I was like....wtf does the Autobahn have to do with DJing...lol I'll add something - not all songs are 4/4 (meaning 4 bars per measure with each bar being 4 counts). Time signatures can be really confusing for people, as that gets into music theory, but if you count 4 and you're not getting even bars...try counting by 3. 3/4 is what you'll find with waltzes and songs like Alicia Keys - Fallin' and Piano Man. If you're mixing during dinner, or even slow songs later...you're gonna run into different time sigs. Hell, that might be worth you doing a video on (or send people to check out Rick Beato if they wanna really nerd out on theory). Awesome to see you included the wheel. We call "Throwin Darts" "Throwing Shit at the Wall"....you just hope something sticks.
The "juggling" was originally used by GM Flash to extend the "breakdown, bridge" portion or best part of the song which is where the term "Breakdancing" came from. The MCs started talking to get the crowd hyped or "Move the Crowd"👌🤓😬
Doesn't DROP also refer to the BPMS Dropping in the middle of a song like in French Kiss by Lil Louse. Great song if in battle mode with another DJ in a timed event. where each dj has like 5 minutes to showcase then the other has to mix off you and then back and forth till one Fs up and is out if you drop french kiss at the right time when time ends it should be doing it drop (like rolling down a hill fast) Fs them all the time.
I feel like “chopped” and “screwed” is a good one to mention. Basically whenever they would slow down tracks on old vinyl and delay a copy to make a “chopped and screwed” remix
this was a great intro to DJ slang. you definitely covered a lot of the stuff i would tell a new dj to learn about. will definitely send some people to your videos!
A bar is not 4 beats. It dépends on the. measure. Waltz are 3 beat bars. Lots of latin music is writen in 2 best bars. The jazz standart "take five" is 5 beat bar. You can also have 6, 7,etc bars. I understand that most music is 4/4 but saying a bar is 4 beats is wrong.
I wasn’t wrong - you can’t say a bar isn’t 4 beats because it certainly can be and is 95% of the time. I just forgot to mention that a bar depends on the time signature, that’s all. My bad!
here's one,,Under "Gear",,how about "Class Compliant" which means, "a class compliant device is one that doesn't require extra drivers to connect your Windows or Macintosh computer, or to your iPad. Class compliant devices use drivers which are built into the host (i.e. the computer or the iPad) operating system".
Just learned this.. The word gobo is an acronym derived from “goes before optics,” which alludes to it's physical position on a fixture. It's essentially a cap or template that sits in front of a light source.
Wow how cool somebody else knows the term slip cue. I use to hear that term when I was getting DJs to make me Aerobics mix tapes for me back in the mid 80s.
Very nice video Nick. Regarding the different types of edits you can find in a pool? How would you describe a Frankenstein? Came accross that here some day and was wondering.
Great video. I would never have thought of this. Too often we assume everyone understands our language. I'm retired military, and we're horrible about this.
Tons of great info. An ultimate dj term crash course. Newbies and/or 20+ year veteran djs, save this one in your library. There is a lot of information packed in this one. Great video, thanks Nick.
Here’s the couple terms you didn’t say first one opening set that means starting the night second one closings set Means you’re closing the night and then marathon set means you’re doing the whole night about six hours or more like a marathon

I looked up "quick-mix" in the dictionary and saw a photo of Cleveland Terry.

I was a final scratch beta tester, that was ages ago!!!

The 1 & 2's refer to the 12's from the Technics 1200

You put "Autobahn" on your thumbnail?? didn't hear that term before 🤔
Except in Germany's fast road lol
ON THE 1 mean one the 1 beat count (Lean Back by Fat Joe) on the 1 would be the actual beat after the intro beginning of the song
this was a great intro to DJ slang. you definitely covered a lot of the stuff i would tell a new dj to learn about. will definitely send some people to your videos!
Another radio term for posting the vocal is the ramp or ramp up. Never "Walk on the Vocals."

Train Wreck is referred to when you don't match bpm's, hence the train wreck
This video is straight up Dinkinflika!
Still wearing the cast on your foot?
here's one,,Under "Gear",,how about "Class Compliant" which means, "a class compliant device is one that doesn't require extra drivers to connect your Windows or Macintosh computer, or to your iPad. Class compliant devices use drivers which are built into the host (i.e. the computer or the iPad) operating system".
Hotmix is another term for Quickmix developed by the Hotmix 5 DJs at WBMX Chicago when House was beginning.
Just learned this..
The word gobo is an acronym derived from “goes before optics,” which alludes to it's physical position on a fixture. It's essentially a cap or template that sits in front of a light source.
What does bells and whistles mean
“Drop the needle” O.G slang

How about Master/Slave, cue burn and slip cue.
Wow how cool somebody else knows the term slip cue. I use to hear that term when I was getting DJs to make me Aerobics mix tapes for me back in the mid 80s.
