If you're serious about wanting to learn, save your money, and take a course. He is a good instructor. I'm not affiliated with Crossfader in any way. I just know a good tutorial when I see one.

    Man. This video was so informative and thorough. You spoke clearly & slowly enough for people to grasp. I used a DJ app on my phone just for sh*ts & giggles on my phone so I learned all of this stuff on my own, but hearing everything explained clearly made it that much better. I’m really interested in buying some equipment and starting to practice on my own. This video helped boost my confidence to do so.

    Is it common for DJs to completely change the tempo of the song (playing a tech house track at maybe 130 bpm from start to finish so that it fits in a mix with idk maybe bassline house)? That is if the track isn't pitch-shifted as a result.

    • @Crossfader
      @Crossfader  3 роки тому +1

      Some DJ's will do that. Master Tempo or Key Lock as it's sometimes known will keep the pitch the same as you change the tempo :)
