The 'problem' isn't live streaming, it's the viewers. I have been a DJ since 1980, and still DJ now. I want people to listen to the music, and how I play/mix/present a journey of audio delights. But, 99% of live stream viewers are only interested in what the stream looks like. The DJ's with by far the most viewers, are not very good at actually DJ-ing at all, in fact, some are absolutely fucking terrible. They simply upfade tracks into one another, and those tracks are all recorded at the same BPM meaning they don't need to beatmatch. Then these terrible DJ's will pretend to turn every knob on the mixer (while actually not doing anything in reality, the audio doesn't change - it's all for show), and dance around, flirt to the camera, and generally show off. If you are a 18-22 year old, pretty girl, with big tits, you will get the most viewers ! There are a small number of listeners who don't care what the stream looks like, because they are intelligent enough to actually care about the music.
Indeed... I discovered this once Corona hit and I started watching DJs... I've been doing this for 20 years and actually took a break for the last five or six... I knew controllers had sync but I had no idea that the turntables now are built with a sync button no wonder everybody has four and everybody is a DJ because nobody literally has to learn how to mix... It's pathetic and embarrassing and I'm actually glad that I'm not on the scene anymore I just DJ for me
@@yoresistersass9326 100% DJ-ing is a fashion statement these days. It is so easy to line up beat peaks on a screen, and add a few effects, you don't even need to actually listen to the music anymore, you can mix perfectly with just your eyes. I miss the days when you had to actually mix with your ears. And modern DJ's all boast about 'oh it's just the same and you can do more things with software' blah blah no it's not, it's piss easy compared to proper DJ-ing. If these modern DJ's had to go back to the late 70's early 80's and do great live sets in a sweaty old club with belt drive turntables and real vinyl they would crumble.
If you are a new dj just starting out your most important job is to acquire quality music, not quantity. Your first purchase should be two solid state drives. Buy great music high audio quality. Build a library like you are collecting swords or guns, your tracks are your weapons. Borrow equipment at first. Go to your friends and use his/her equipment. Learn the basics first. You can acquire equipment little by little. New DJs almost always put the cart before the horse, buying equipment before having a highly curated musical library. You should know your music inside and out. You should know how and why certain music works together. You should have a basic understanding of musical theory and song composition. Learn about mixing in key. You are a chef, preparing a 7 course meal. Never do free gigs, you cheapen the craft. Instead, learn your craft by apprenticing under a veteran DJ. If you can’t play a great dinner set at wedding, you won’t understand how to be an opener. Every new DJ wants to play the peak hours, but have never opened up for the headliner. Pay your dues, learn the DJ craft and when you venture out by yourself you can be confident that what you are charging is fair. I don’t need to DJ for money, I DJ because I love it. But we charge because if we don’t we set a bad example, we spoil people into thinking our art is cheap.
Absolutely Chris! There's a method to the madness we call DJing. I do say a good library and basic skills are your foundation; the mixing in key, musical theory, etc. will all work their way in the more you spin, and you'll find that you're using those skills without even thinking later down the road. Thanks for this!
I have been so tempted to ask the same question now I know lol. I really enjoy your video tutorials since it's something I've been interested in learning
RIGHT! The entire DJ community frowns upon it. Understandably so. However, some beginner DJs can’t afford to spend $$ on music if they’re not making any money in return yet. I don’t suggest ripping music either but I think everyone should live within their budget
The best tip is to cue point tracks. I love to cue point intro/outro, buildup, breakdown, drops, tempo changes, and vocals. This mind numbing process makes me feel more prepared
Stop the judgement. Ripping music is something loads of broke DJs have had to do to sharpen their skills. Many headliners did it and if you ask them they will admit it.
I'm literally the guy who's always pirating tracks because i'm just a beginnee and I can't afford monthly subscriptions. I don't even have a DJ Controller also. All i have is my phone and speakers, but still it doesn't bother my DJing. I just use what i have for now, and i'm proud of it. (Not the pirating, i'm not proud of that thing, lol)
carlo, the thing is that the people who are doing live streams are international producers and DJs. one can understand them doing streams. they are established professionals who are mostly promoting their music. international producers don’t necessarily show off their DJ skills and i am pretty sure none of them even intend to. thanks
This is true! But during this quarantine period, there's a pressure for people to be relevant or at least visible on social media. So in case of live streaming, here are other things to do!
0:54 this is the part I’ve been breaking my head to do so I can upload my mixes to my channel, but of course I have to practice the mix like you put here. I will be working on this right now!!! Thank you Carlo!!!
Hello DJ .. I would love to learn about it .. sometimes I can do LIVE with more than an hour. but there is always a message saying that the songs were muted ... Could you activate the subtitles translator in your videos? Thanks in advance, GUTO DJ. - BRAZIL (CLASSIC R&B MUSIC)
you are the realest DJ on youtube. Fam I've even created a channel because of you. Thanks. You've helped me make money last year. I'm even making money and better mixes now.
There's a website that a lot of producers use called Hypeddit to give away free music because the site is a download gate (helps build socials and interactions while building a listener base). Check the Hypeddit chart relative to the genre you mix to get quality free music and to support producers by getting their music heard!
What dj pool or resource would you use to find more obscure music like video game soundtracks, old television show tunes, or old international music like Chinese opera? I would really like to find good quality audio resources without having to resort to ripping UA-cam. Thanks for your content! Your videos inspired me to save and purchase a ddj400 to learn a new skill while all this stuff is happening in the world
What you can do to livestream your music from a dj controller for example ddj sb3 you can put the cables that normally goes to the speaker into the microphone jack of your pc then change the input to the dj controller and u can stream it that way
@@djcarlo after 10 months you still reply to comments damn! Anyways thank you for learning me so much of djing and because of you I actually bought a dj controller! Keep the great content out there!
Hey @DJCarloAtentido what do You think about making a video about livestreaming? how to do it, what equipment You need, how to stream it on Facebook for example, how to put your camera and microphone together on your livestream and The most important how to stream your master volume.I think IT would be a Good content. You can help many DJ's who want to start streaming but don't have a clue HOW.Greetings from Poland
This have been helpful,i cant livestream because facebook keeps taking it down so i would just make videos and share it directly trough my friends thanks dj carlo
I was actually looking forward to see you do a livestream this ECQ. So its not gonna happen 😢 always listening to your mixes anyway. It Made me sane and happy! 😊❤️
A well-balanced mixture of blue and violet lights! Check out some tutorials on mood and studio lighting Soupbuoy; that's how I learned how to do those haha
Great video Carlo! Only question I have is how do you get around any copyright stuff for mixes, I want to make mix videos but not get slammed with a million copyright claims, I'm not bothered about the monetisation but getting hit with claim after claim even tho I specifically state I don't own the rights to the songs I mix?
How do you video record yourself playing out a mix, only by using your phone (but get perfect in sync audio quality on it) ? I’m struggling to understand this, what are the equipments I need?
Hey, this may sound crazy, but would you be interested in doing a video with old dj controllers? I have a 10 year old dj controller that my cousin gave to me as a gift, and I find it hard replicating some of your lessons. It’s a Numark Mixtrack. I’m curious how a pro dj such as yourself (dj Carlo) would implement techniques on a controller with limited functionality. I think it would be a cool video for amateurs such as myself. Thank you!
Thx 4 this tutorial Carlo, but what about copyright strikes? If I record my mix and publish it on UA-cam, will they not take it down because of copyright issues?
Hey Carlo, just seen this video. I just sold my RX2 cause I didn't need it anymore and never really got to try it out fully. But I still love getting new music, sorting it and preparing it in iTunes and Rekordbox. Since I never really got the time to DJ, but I don't want to let go of it completely, I would like to get some advice. Should I buy a DDJ400 for learning scratching, mixing and effects basics later (still got a RB5 license)? Or should I rather jump to another software and mixer (like Denon Prime Go) and start learning there? You got the experience. I just felt overwhelmed by all the functionality of the RX2 and wanted to learn everything at once. I bet alot of beginners do the same mistake: I need this effect and that effect. Later we realize: no we don't need this. We need beatmatching, basic understanding of music math and good preperation to make people feel good on the dancefloor. Nothing of that is what the best DJ gear can get us (even with sync). Prime Go or DDJ400 for learning? Less is more. Be honest with me.
With this mentality: "Later we realize: no we don't need this. We need beatmatching, basic understanding of music math and good preperation to make people feel good on the dancefloor." It will only mean that any DJ controller will do, then. Nothing is wrong about that. But personally speaking, as a fan of techniques and tricks, I want to work on effects and cover as much as I can with respect to the available features. Followers have different styles and genres. This gives life to my channel - a sense of purpose to teach techniques and tricks. So in my case, the more, the merrier!
Thanks for mentioning Traktor! It's like people are forgetting about it and it's STILL an amazing piece of software! OK,,Native Instruments is not the most "up to date" company right now but I still believe they're going to come back with a new "engine" and blow us away! Am I a dreamer? Time will tell. C'mon Native Instruments,,,get your shit together!!
I can afford record pools but can't join them, because they ask for information that a only professional DJs who are already doing gigs can answer. So i have to stick to streaming music from soundcloud, so there for i can't do any gigs for now unless they have some strong wifi.
I am experimenting with recording my mixes right now, a possible way to make this process more efficient is to use OBS studio to set up all of your video sources/mixing software into one frame, then recording everything already baked together. Saves a lot of time on the back end editing and allows for some interesting picture-in-picture looks and layering :)
@@fifeladdie1536 If U want to use your Iphone (or an android phone) there are plenty of apps available for free and easy to integrated in OBS as I pretty much do it myself. Also if you want a cheap and useable option for a camera U can always get a $50 action cam and use as a webcam. With that setup I created this www.twitch.tv/videos/619867576
UA-cam, Facebook etc will take down or block a video with any copyright music in it no? I tried to make videos a whole ago and they would get flagged and noone saw them. Has something changed? I know it's diff for people with tons of followers
I’m using this time away from work to take online dj courses and putting together mixes to upload on MixCloud. Just received my MacBook that’ll be fully dedicated to DJing. Just hustling my butt off
It cost almost nothing to get into live streaming. Everyone has a phone in their pocket, and all you need is an iRig2 to get started on twitch, youtube, IG, etc. Video editing is something very few know anything about.
I heard snap downloader was good. I would buy it with single use gift credit card. That way they can’t accidentally charge you again and again. Not Saying they would but some online companies do. Also, SoundCloud is a paid service. Don’t know if it was back then, but I assume it was? Thanks for the great info and any advice.
I also Ripped music out from UA-cam and Soundcloud when I was starting which I felt guilty about. I threw away those Ripped music already. What I would suggest is to get Bootleg Packs which are also free and the sound quality is way better. Speaking of Sound Quality, I would recommend an application called "Spek" for you to check the sound quality of those tracks that you got from Bootleg Packs. After that, I had a Free Trial from BPM Supreme (Yes, They give Free Trials for new potential customers!) I stuck with them for almost a year and now that I have collected a decent amount of music I now buy music from Beatport.
@@subele_music Yo! I didn't know that. I actually spent two years of my childhood in Rotterdam and I can't recall coming across that word. That's something good to know though. Bedankt! :-)
Thank you Carlo! This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been learning to DJ since 2017 but haven't really done any official gigs. Mostly made mixes which have been pretty well received. I've gotten formal instruction & gotten a lot better. My plan was to really get out & pursue it more but covid hit. Twitch seems a little tacky in some sense & I wanted to get more creative & I personally find more interest in the live/recorded mix sets on youtube. Thanks again! Your videos are super helpful.
To get more field experience. Hit up friends and family and offer to Dj the next BBQ or backyard birthday party. Great for the summer. And just think once the beer and wine is flowing they will think your a Dj god. lol. Since your starting out. You might find yourself busy for the first summer. Its what I did as a 16/17 beginner. That was 35 years ago. Its the same advice I've given to the guys I've helped in their startup. Cheers. Good luck.
Big fan man I do afro beat and you teach me allot ... Am still to learn scratching with a fader ...I have been watching your tutorial videos a bunch ... Love from Cameroon
Can you recommend me any type of dj controller that supports rekordbox and head set please!! I have learnt to dj but dont have any controller or head sets...
How do you get the overhead shot of your decks? I've tried with a normal iphone tripod but can't seem to get the angle right (and it's usually in the way of my computer)
Try using a camera tripod and attaching a phone holder to it! You may need to play around with the arrangement as well of your DJ gear with respect to your laptop's placement.
@@djcarlo The problem is I need the phone to hang over the deck and a tripod just can't do that. Do you have a special rig? One that extends out over the deck? Could you maybe post a pic or link me to your gear?
"Download free track and feel guilty, you are a pirate now".. That was hilarious 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's the way he dropped it 😂😂😂😂 #djlnr

Quarantine is extended, so you DJs better be listening to DJ Carlo, haha.

This gives life to my channel - a sense of purpose to teach techniques and tricks. So in my case, the more, the merrier!
@@djcarlo Thanks for sharing your perspective. I will keep that in mind when I make my decision.
What video editing software do you use to post recorded live mix sets?
Final Cut Pro 🥳
Hey Carlo , what do you think of the pioneer DDJ SX2 ?
Thanks for mentioning Traktor! It's like people are forgetting about it and it's STILL an amazing piece of software! OK,,Native Instruments is not the most "up to date" company right now but I still believe they're going to come back with a new "engine" and blow us away! Am I a dreamer? Time will tell. C'mon Native Instruments,,,get your shit together!!
Hoping for that too! It's always awesome when companies innovate! Thank you for watching! Woot woot!
DJ Carlo Atendido My pleasure!!
Dj Carlo, what is the name of the software you use to mapping the video?
I can afford record pools but can't join them, because they ask for information that a only professional DJs who are already doing gigs can answer. So i have to stick to streaming music from soundcloud, so there for i can't do any gigs for now unless they have some strong wifi.
Well, I would recommend trying to just skate around those by filling up the answer sheets with random information. Don't keep yourself bound by wifi!
What kind of tripod do you use?
Benro. I just bought from online!
Your videos are so far the best 🎉
Thanks buddy! Just trying to educate and entertain with the videos!
Whats the ddj controler used in 1:34?
Hey, bud! All the gear is in the description box! You can check out the links! :)
I am experimenting with recording my mixes right now, a possible way to make this process more efficient is to use OBS studio to set up all of your video sources/mixing software into one frame, then recording everything already baked together. Saves a lot of time on the back end editing and allows for some interesting picture-in-picture looks and layering :)
Great tip! I can't wait to try that by myself too!
Ryan - do you have videos? I am learning OBS and want to use my MacBook Air camera and iPhone 8 to record my sets but finding it difficult?
@@fifeladdie1536 I am practicing a few mixes right now to record, I'll definitely drop the links when they are all set
@@fifeladdie1536 If U want to use your Iphone (or an android phone) there are plenty of apps available for free and easy to integrated in OBS as I pretty much do it myself. Also if you want a cheap and useable option for a camera U can always get a $50 action cam and use as a webcam. With that setup I created this www.twitch.tv/videos/619867576
UA-cam, Facebook etc will take down or block a video with any copyright music in it no? I tried to make videos a whole ago and they would get flagged and noone saw them. Has something changed? I know it's diff for people with tons of followers
Not different if they follow my UA-cam guide! Search it up :)
What software you're using for video editing sir?
Final Cut Pro, bro!
How do you get around the copyrights for your mixes you upload on UA-cam
Ohhh I made a video abouttt it! You can search it on my channel!
what program did u use to overlay the rekordbox recording with your live video and how did u get it to sync up?
Which program do you use to combine your three files together?
How to do mapping on virtual dj8??
Ohh! I can make that content on my future videos - mapping in general!
I’m using this time away from work to take online dj courses and putting together mixes to upload on MixCloud. Just received my MacBook that’ll be fully dedicated to DJing. Just hustling my butt off
Good for you! And enjoy your MacBook!
so what about virtual dj software didnt here you mention any thing about it, whats up with that?
Hmmm. Maybe I'll make a video about next! Thanks for suggesting! Peace!
what is the name of the editing software at 1:40 please ? anyone? thanks in advance :)
That's Final Cut Pro! Great software! :)
@@djcarlo thank you so much, your videos are so helpful 🙏
It cost almost nothing to get into live streaming. Everyone has a phone in their pocket, and all you need is an iRig2 to get started on twitch, youtube, IG, etc. Video editing is something very few know anything about.
That's true Matthew! But I do feel like there's a lot more to be gleaned from video editing in the long run.
These tips were on point tbh!
Nice track list. Keep up the good content
Appreciate it! Thanks for the support!
Your lessons are the best we use them with all our students. Thanks for being real about everything!
Awwwww! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing them to more folks! Glad you like them!
I heard snap downloader was good. I would buy it with single use gift credit card. That way they can’t accidentally charge you again and again. Not Saying they would but some online companies do. Also, SoundCloud is a paid service. Don’t know if it was back then, but I assume it was? Thanks for the great info and any advice.
I believe it still is, but I've gotta check again. It's been a while since I've put anything up on Soundcloud
What tripod is that you used for your iphone?
Time to upgrade my controller, any suggestions?
everytime when i see your a new videos, i learn something new about djs.. thanks dj carlo .
Happy to hear that! My pleasure!
I also Ripped music out from UA-cam and Soundcloud when I was starting which I felt guilty about. I threw away those Ripped music already. What I would suggest is to get Bootleg Packs which are also free and the sound quality is way better. Speaking of Sound Quality, I would recommend an application called "Spek" for you to check the sound quality of those tracks that you got from Bootleg Packs.
After that, I had a Free Trial from BPM Supreme (Yes, They give Free Trials for new potential customers!) I stuck with them for almost a year and now that I have collected a decent amount of music I now buy music from Beatport.
Garry Malalo-an Spek means bacon in Dutch lmao
Nice recommendations!
@@subele_music Yo! I didn't know that. I actually spent two years of my childhood in Rotterdam and I can't recall coming across that word. That's something good to know though. Bedankt! :-)
Garry Malalo-an oh leuk! graag gedaan!
Thank you Carlo! This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been learning to DJ since 2017 but haven't really done any official gigs. Mostly made mixes which have been pretty well received. I've gotten formal instruction & gotten a lot better. My plan was to really get out & pursue it more but covid hit. Twitch seems a little tacky in some sense & I wanted to get more creative & I personally find more interest in the live/recorded mix sets on youtube. Thanks again! Your videos are super helpful.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad this content helped you out! Cheers!
To get more field experience. Hit up friends and family and offer to Dj the next BBQ or backyard birthday party.
Great for the summer. And just think once the beer and wine is flowing they will think your a Dj god. lol.
Since your starting out. You might find yourself busy for the first summer. Its what I did as a 16/17 beginner. That was 35 years ago.
Its the same advice I've given to the guys I've helped in their startup.
Cheers.
Good luck.
You are an amazing Videomaker, i love you studio!! wow
Thank you so much 😀
@@djcarlo Please, im also a videomaker and deejay
How should I record the sound while live streaming so as to make the sound quality better？
Please what software do you use for editing videos?
Big fan man I do afro beat and you teach me allot ... Am still to learn scratching with a fader ...I have been watching your tutorial videos a bunch ...
Love from Cameroon
Can you recommend me any type of dj controller that supports rekordbox and head set please!! I have learnt to dj but dont have any controller or head sets...
can u explain more about putting the cue point 32 bts before
Ohhhhh! I might do a follow up on this regarding preparation of cue points!
I gotta ask, what type of editing software do you use? cause I'm still stuck on that thought.
i use all!
@@djcarlo all? Is that the name of the editing software?
Use youtube-dl. It is command line based, but it can get you the best quality out of youtube. Also, you can download playlists.
How do you get the overhead shot of your decks? I've tried with a normal iphone tripod but can't seem to get the angle right (and it's usually in the way of my computer)
Try using a camera tripod and attaching a phone holder to it! You may need to play around with the arrangement as well of your DJ gear with respect to your laptop's placement.
@@djcarlo The problem is I need the phone to hang over the deck and a tripod just can't do that. Do you have a special rig? One that extends out over the deck? Could you maybe post a pic or link me to your gear?
Hey, can I ask what software you use to edit videos with the cool transitions and text?
Kuys Carlo, one question, I have downloaded my music from frkmusic.net and edmfull.com, is that still considered as pirated music?
