Greetings King. I love your channel. I'm getting back into doing and looking for a record pool with video remixes. Any suggestions?
🔥👊🥀
Carlo did pioneer fix the connection problem in the back of the ddj flx4...
🤔
I need some DJ lessons
I always use a 4/8/16 beat loop. It's basically like having an extended DJ intro that you can control. ☘️
Woot! Thanks for watching the video and for sharing your style!
i do this too, saw it from a local pro dj and thought what a great and easy to implement method
Me too
Standard innit but works well
So you have like various beat loops which you put on a third deck (C) for mixing from A to B then? Or how do you do this?
Another trick I have used a time or two is to put a 1 beat loop on the first beat of the verse and slowly fade it in as the previous song reaches the end. It gives a hint as to what the next song is without losing all the surprise factor.
That's another interesting way of doing it! I kinda dig it!
Ive always been amazed by how you make even simple mixing sound so good. For me, starting out I felt like I wasnt getting it right. But people started telling me how much they loved my mixing. But I just couldnt see it, i figured they were fluffing me. Then I listened back to some of my recorded mixes and saw my progress. Quite amazing how natural it becomes with a lot of practice. Many thanks to YOU for all of your super helpful tutorials and everything else. Your demeanor itself is confidence building. Im almost a full year in and your lessons really helped me get started confidently. Now I am about to upgrade from a DDJSR2 to a Rane One and I am SUPER pumped. Now its time to up the ante and start working on more complicated scratch transitions and we all know thats the funnest way to mix. Theres only about 4 really good scratch DJs in my city that I know about. Our market is wide open in my city as clubs are always looking for dedicated performance DJs but they usually have to bring them in from out of town because no one does it here anymore. They only radio mix out here. Because the scratch djs here dont know how to do it without annoying everyone or overdoing it. I understand that just some subtle tricks during the mix is plenty. And you dont do it every single transition. And you dont go into 4 minute scratch routines out here. People want to hear the song and dance and sing along. So I like to use some FLAIR only when its time to rebuild the dancefloor and get people engaged again. When they get tired i slow it down a bit. Then moderately build back up and implement some minor tricks to get them back out. DJing is too much fun.
Dang Terry, you've pretty much gotten the club DJ balance figured out! Congratulations on your progress, and I'm so happy to have been a party of your journey. Make the best of it bud, and make yourself part of the industry standard in your city!
Love the loop technique. Find it really great and simple to use if a song f.e got like a synth or something melodic in the first 2-4 bars and just filter it in until the main tracks chorus is done and then just delay it out and switch to the next song. Sounds best when the tracks match harmonically offcourse.
That's true! The loop is a great tool for extending intros and making smoother mixes!
This video was really helpful! A lot of songs that we have been DJing have been radio edits, so we realized that echoing was working for us. But, the looping technique is something I am definitely going to try out!☘️
Yay! Go ahead and try that technique! Thanks for watching!
Carlo, everytime I get discouraged I watch your videos. I immediately feel refreshed after... You're amazing man... THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO
I'm glad you do! Hope they keep inspiring you!
Always enjoy your videos kabsat…I like the echo, and the ghost transitions. It takes practice to master these skills. Also, understanding the music count helps…Another great content.
It's a helpful video. I learn a lot.😍🥰
I'm glad you learned a lot from the video bud! Hope it helps with your mixing!
That ghost blend is an interesting trick! It seems like you could just drop transition to the next song, but having it timed out and playing certainly frees up your hands to play with effects on the other deck! Cool video! 🍀
Thanks bud! The ghost blend is a *tricky* transition, but if you get it down right, you're golden!
@@djcarlois this possible with Rekordbox? I know this is possible with Traktor and Serato. But on Rekordbox I didn't find a way to "play" a song before it starts.
Wish there was a video on this earlier! I actually learned how to DJ from your other videos about a year ago. But everything you talked about here I had to figure out on my own lol! But it did make learning the fundamentals fun with trial and error
Haha, I realized there's a lot of tracks out there with no intros, and people have been asking! Glad you were able to learn though; there's always some fun to be had in trial and error!
Very useful tips. Can’t wait to try them out!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah!!! I guarantee you, it'll be fun to play around with the transitions!
5th method, echoed backspin into hitting the post, esp works if transitioning into a more hiphop/rap oriented track. I love to do it whenever I drop Medussa by Griz and Wreckno
Buen video bro saludos
Love those artistas! Yeah the echo works well for those types of songs!🤔
@@gael6135 gracias amigo 😮
what u mean with “post”?
Love it!!...I have so many of these songs from all my old itunes songs from back in the day that I bought ...I was avoiding playing them for this reason. I love the cue point one the best..I can tap a beat pretty good since i used to play some drums when i was a kid..lol
Having the rhythm in you is a big advantage when DJing! Helps with timing too since you understand the counting!
A much needed video !!! Thank you for this amazing !
You're welcome bud! Glad you found the video helpful!
As I mainly working with radio edits I use loop to keep transition more smooth than just echoing it out but either of these methods are just working on gigs. As always - great job Carlo! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Also, I have an idea for another video. Maybe you will make one about catchy transitions using original songs and it's modern, sampled versions? (Like More Spell On You by Eddie Johns vs One More Time by Daft Punk). It will be great!
Thanks for watching till the end bud! And I'll see about that; that's gonna require a little bit of production work for the songs, but let's see if I can whip something up there!
Thank you for the amazing tutorials as always 🍀
You're welcome bud! And thanks too for watching till the end!
Honestly, all technics you show in this video i did use it most of the time, thank you bro for such amazing video
I'm glad you've already discovered the techniques bud!
Very helpful!Thanks Carlo 👍❤️
You're welcome! Hopefully you got some insights from this video!
great video, I've seen somewhere a video that taught, you set your second cue point before vocals and your first cue point in the outro. I've set many tracks this way that basically start with vocals or mc loaded hype tracks like hip hop, rap. allows you time to mix, possible build up etc. then you hot cue drop in time. another tip/ trick is using an extended or slow break effect, like grandmas old record player got unplugged slow. i set break speed to the 3 o'clock position
If that works for your sets, then go with it! Anything to keep the music flowing, and the crowd pumping!
The cue method is what I've been using for literally 20 years, since back in the day we couldn't see wave forms, and it was much easier to interactively use the cue to extend the intro.
Correct! It's still relevant today, so at least we're still keeping the classic techniques there!
Thank you for the good tips! I like the looping technique the most! 😁🎧🍀
You're welcome bud, and thanks for sticking around till the end!
beat loops, got to love beat loops, i tend to loop the track outro more though, ill cue up the next track 8-16 beats before then loop the last 4-8 of the current playing and just blend by ear, once the 2nd track starts to ramp up ill fade it out or put some effect on to smooth it out (as well as use voice over samples to mask it) ☘️
That's another way of doing it bud! But yeah, gotta love beat loops. Thanks for watching till the end!
I've been struggling with transition whenever i mixing a radio edit songs i just echoing out but this give me an idea how to treat it better
Thanks DJ Carlo
You're welcome bud! I kinda realized a lot of DJs (including myself) had the same dilemma haha
All of your content is awesome man thank you🍀
Thanks man! Really appreciate that! And thanks for making it all the way to the end
YEEEES, I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH!!!!
Awesome! I'm glad you found what you needed Matias!
Really helpful. Thanks Sir Carlo.
My pleasure is mine! Thanks for the support!
That is awesome! Love your work in the channel
can you please add more ways to mix these kind of sings that is more complicated?
Well, I just wanted to tackle the basics. Check out my other videos on scratching and transitions, and you can use the ideas here and combine them with more advanced techniques from there. You'll get more mix ideas when you combine them all!
Yessss!!! Something shorter than that 10 minute long song that I’ve been listening for the whole day 🥰🥰
Hahahaha, which song is that? That's an insanely long song yo!
@@djcarlo the new re-released song from the Goddess. I’ll send it to you!!!
All techniques were sick thanks for helping me learn how to mix music without intros/outros
For sure bud! Glad the lessons here were useful!
Awesome advice!! I've been hooked since coming across your videos! I'm trying the loop method with the RX2, but it only loops 2-4 beats. Any suggestion on how to loop it for 16? Using flash drives w/o rekordbox for reference. thank you for making these vids! 🍀
Oh dear! That could be hardware limitations!
Thanks great information ☘️
Thanks for watching till the end bud!
Thank you for your lesson! great content I Love it!
More where that came from buddy! Check out the other tutorials on the channel too!
Thanks Dj Carlo. I was spending too much time trying g to manipulate Bpm and analyzing bpm to get songs in sync.
Glad you got something from the video!
I love the idea of using a loop - I bought my first controller today :') ☘️
They're fun to play around with! Enjoy 'em bud!
i love your mixing style dj king carlo
Thanks bud! Glad you like my style!
The loop is something I didn’t think about. ☘️. I’m going it try that out.
Go for it Darius! Enjoy playing around with the loops, and thanks for sticking around til the end!
Always good tips from you..i always use different techniques for mixing out.. one time echo one time something else🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
They're fun to mix and match, aren't they? And thanks for watching till the end!
Top notch as always sir 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoyed the video!
This was a masterpiece❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video Media!
Good stuff bro! 🍀
Thanks bro! And thanks for sticking around till the end!
In the past I've made some dj tools that are just 32 bars of drums with different rhythms. You can use these drum stems to do the same trick as mixing into an Acapella, except they have no melodic content and therefore will work with anything. Add some fx from the mixer and make sure it's a beat that blends with the core of the next track. Works wonders. If you've got a third deck available you can do even more like loading up a looped pad sample or other stems
Yup! Those are called Intro versions, and I use them like crazy from all different record pools. This is mostly for songs that just *lack* those versions, and in situations where you haven't had time to edit them. Good advice though, and great that you make your own too!
I love your videos. Out of all the DJ's creating how to's for begginers, and as i am an older fella trying to get into it, your tutorials are the easiest to understand. i struggle with getting music and currently use beatsource on the numark fx/serato. Is this a good place to start getting music or do you have a better suggestion ? i don't want to sign up to a bunch of services until I know I can do it and willing to invest the money for more services. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Try it out first, but once you need to expand, try BPM Supreme, Crate Connect, and Zip DJ! Great record pools too!
Definitely gonna use this
☘️
Useful tips bud! Make good use of 'em!
☘ as always your tutorial are very simple and clear
Thanks Lo Zio! Glad you enjoyed the video!
What's really crazy is these are the techniques I've established my first time djing...by accident! I just looped and mixed short intros this whole time lol
It's fun to discover these things by accident!
Smash like quick
Carlo broham i love your service to the community... I have a passion for djing but never made enough time to commit.
Your lessons reinvigorate my passion... Thann you aagin
I'm gonna keep adding fuel to the fire of your passion man! Until I finally get that thing ignited at least!
Thank you always
Thanks for the support bud!
u da best 🍀
Thanks bud! Glad you stayed to the end too!
back at it!☘
Let's gooooo Shevon!
Very good trancisions you got there bud
That's the idea! So everyone can follow along and try them too to make their own smooth transitions too!
Loved them all 🍀
Todos gracias Agus, and thanks for watching it till the end! Disfrutas las técnicas!!
You are the best !!!
Thanks bud! Hope you got some insights on mixing!
The lotion was hilarious! I really love your videos. Is there such a thing as "bedroom dj?". I'm not planning to go pro but I wanna make use of that Mixtrack Pro II that my friend left me.
Yeah a lot of ppl are bedroom djs or reddit/twitch DJs (streaming instead of clubs)
Yup! That used to refer to people who were just starting out, or who have yet to do a public gig. Now, since the pandemic hit, lots of people are just mixing at home with their own set ups!
amazing video very helpful
Glad you found it helpful bud!
thanks friendly DJ man this was helpful.
You're welcome bud! Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you so much dj carlo
You're very welcome! More techniques for your sets now!
You are between Carlo ... keep them coming and educate us all so that we can become better .. Dhanyawad from India bro
Of course bud! That's the reason I started this channel; to educate and spread good vibes.
Great ideas! Thank you. For hip hop especially, I'll loop one word like "hey" "ok" or "yeah" and then start mixing that in and out in between the vocals of the outgoing track.
Another thing that I'll do, especially if the incoming track has an unusual or dramatic first few bars is to either loop out or echo out the old track, pause for 1 beat of silence for dramatic effect, then start the new song.
Also it is super helpful if a beat grid is totally effed, I spaced out for a minute and didn't have the new track looped, big BPM jumps, new genre, beats are irregular (many older dance or pop songs), or I just can't seem to get the beats aligned. ☘️
Those are also other ways of playing around with them! Every DJ has a style, and playing around with the transitions are fun. And thanks for staying till the end!
Bro your seriously cool, great name too BTW!!
Right back at ya buddy! Hahahaha
Hey DJ Carlo!! Thank you so much for your amazing content it has been really helpful. I've got a question, is it always necessary to mix in key as a DJ? I'm finding it hard on how to choose songs for the intro of my set and and what to end with plus not always choosing keys that are compatible together
Thank you!
Not always! Songs with clean DJ intros will usually help mitigate that. Otherwise, just keep the clashing elements low in the mix while doing transitions. It can't always be helped, so just pick your tracks carefully!
@@djcarlo thank you so much!! You’re amazing and have been really helpful to me over the past years. Let’s see where this journey takes us big hopes!!!
Thanks Idol ❤❤💯💯✌
Thanks for the support bud!
Hi bro, i was wondering if there is a time adjustment in ddj400 or in any mid range gear like they have in Cdj's on the top of fx knobs. Thank you sir
No time knob :( check out my best dj settings video for help!
Hey do you mix your vocals after recording? If not I recommend using an De-esser. There are a lot of clipping high pitches in your recording. Just letting you know :)
Noted Dion! I don't really get to master my vocals on the recording, so thanks for the tip!
sick content!
Thanks bud! Glad you liked it!
Where do you save your songs , do you hook it up to an iPad? And what is a good one for a beginner not expensive but has everything? Please help
I usually use my laptop for songs! And check out my Best DJ Gear videos for ideas. Features and price point are all there 😄
Thanks dude.
Gotcha fam! Keep them Kpop Remixes coming!
Hey DJ Carlo,
I'd love to see a video on Afrobeats/Dancehall/Reggaeton mixing on the DDJ-400
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see about that in the future buddy!
Nice
Thanks bud! Hope you gained some new skills from this video!
Prep and cue! Or for some funk and disco songs that start on the 3 or on the 4 or on the & 1 count, I’ll just baby scratch and drop in.
That's another way of doing it! There's a lot of disco songs that just start with 1 snare, I've noticed.
nice examples.
Glad you thought so! What’s your fave?
My techniques on dirty versions use Trans / Gate Compressor fx to play with the outgoing volume and bring the mids gradually down
This is one method of working with dirty versions, especially when you need to keep it clean, but also dangerous if you don't catch it in time! Believe me, I do this too haha
Im new here, hoping i learn more techniques to your vlogs godbless
And I hope you really do learn new things Kylee! Lots of tutorials on this channel that could help you out!
Can you pre-save a loop on your rekordbox like you do with the cue point? How does this work live then?
You can! But you'll need to pre plan the saved loop, and save it beforehand. Live, you can still plan out your loop on cue 🥳
Post-transition, do you ever bring the previous track back into play? Almost like using the current track to extend it?
Not normally Dave. Once I leave a track behind, that's really it. The audience is also usually done with the track too
thanks for the video. I don't know if you are a fan of electronic music, like bodzin, solomun, jan blomqvist... but could make some video/suggestions on how to play this kind of music and how to build a perfect set (should I start with harder or softer techno)
I'm not so big on it, but I'll see if I can make something out of it!
@@djcarlo Thanks ;)
Thank you for this one!! I feel almost like you heard my cry 😅
Hahaha, you're welcome bud! I'm sure a lot of DJs struggle with radio edits because, starting out, I did too!
Gracias Carlos sos groso
De nada amigo! Hope you learned something new from the video!
The last transition is the one I use the most 🍀
Awesome bud! Make good use of it!
no wayyy is that a ddj-200 at 4:52?? never thought i'd see a pro using my controller lol
Yup! I even have full mixes with that controller 😆
Have you ever used the record pool Dj city? That’s what I use and I’m not sure how to find Dj edits or extended edits
I have! And from what I recall, they used to have DJ edits over there. Lots of great ones too!
U are the best bro blessings 'n greetings .
Thanks bro! Just trying to help the dj community out 😉
@@djcarlo thx 😁
Bro when are you doing the review of new pioneer XDJ-RX3 ? I have been waiting for it.
Next year :(
Love lt
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The second to last one ☘️
Awesome Ian! And thanks for making it all the way to the end!
I can't stop laughing about the scene on 1:13
omg this is soo funny! LMAO xD
Still the best bit I've ever recorded! Hahahaha
Question,
At minut 4.18, you dont ego the previsous song out if i look at the mixer. You do mentioned in the vid, or do i see it wrong ?
If you mean echo, I did! That's why I activated the Level/Depth knob
Hello random youtube comments. I have acquired an older VMS 4.1 and it doesn't have a filter knobs. Can I add a external knob/pad source or is there knobs I can do without and program them to make them a filter knob?
Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with the VMS 4.1, so I can't really say much about fiddling around with it.
Yo the lotion and dj Pirate has my rolling
Hahahahaha, piracy is hard on the hands bud! Lots of typing, scrolling, copy pasting, etc. Gotta keep my hands moisturized! Hahahaha
What do you think about the XDJ-RX3 only having 2 channels ? Any chance you will be reviewing this all in one system? 🍀
We'll see if I get around to reviewing that one bud! And thanks for watching till the end!
Carlo is it possible to use 4 channels when we have got just DDJ 1000? I mean 1 channel 1st track, 2 channel 2nd track and something link "digital" channel with acapella? Is it possible to change it via recordbox or on controller?
Yup yup! Totally possible given the right configuration.
tbh I love all the technics 🍀
Thanks for staying till the end too bud!
Prep and Que 🍀☘️
Best techniques with your songs!
luv u kuya u make djjing easier for me
Glad the videos really help out Jon!
what DJ turn tables do you recommend??
Pioneer Plx 1000. Amazon store link has it! The link is in the description for the videos.
Hey DJ Carlo could you do a genre change transition video example from Cumbia to Huapango?
Ahhhh, I'm actually not familiar with either of those genres. They're not big here in The Philippines. Let me try to do some research, and see if I can make a video out of that!
That lotion though! LOL
Always the lotion! XD
Do you often find that you have to increase BPM on some radio edits to make the transition smoother?
Mobile DJ's get requests a lot and we do our best to flow in from the current song to the requested song, but more often than not, the BPM is not anywhere close. What is the best way to transition something like that?
You could use sync combined with looping to bring the tracks together. For example:
You have a track playing that is lower bpm and you have “wannabe - spice girls” requested. Sync wannabe to your lower bpm track, loop “yo” right before “I tell you what I want”. Fade in slowly so that the looping “yo” is on time. Then bring the BPM up on wannabe while synced and it will move both songs BPM at the same time. The looped “yo” will get faster until you hit the native BPM of Wannabe, exit the loop and cut the previous track.
That’s one option. I hope the text example sort of helps but in all honesty, creativity is key when mixing!
Just play the song requested, they won't care or notice.
@@mikedropproductions idk I would just loop "I tell u what I want" the crowd would go crazy cause they know what u bout to play
very very cool
Thanks bud! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi, beacuse of your Videos, I started Djing with an DDJ 200 and I really like it so far. No i have a few questions:
I pay 10 dollars a Month an can download these Songs, and keep them after the subscription is over? Is it possible to only fade out the beat in rekordbox or do I have to download the accapela?
You can keep them forever once you've downloaded them! And, you will need to get an acapella. Fading out the beat with Rekordbox isn't very clean
@@djcarlo Thank you for your awnser! This helps me out a lot!
