Attention new dj's! When you're learning how to beat match, try it with some slow tunes eg some hip-hop instrumentals, even if you just want to play house, techno, electro, trance etc. Reason being that once you master blending slower tunes you will find the faster ones much easier to mix as you'll notice the beats going off much quicker! Take care people & happy dj'ing! Peace.
mhm... I actually disagree. I typically teach beat matching with simple house tunes. I find 4/4 kicks to be much easier to explain to beginners. Since the whole idea is a little difficult to explain I feel that it would be difficult to explain someone beat-matching with slower tunes that might have drastically different kick patters. Just my opinion. Not throwing shade or anything. It's a good idea definitely!
Bro you killed this explanation. Well done! And always appreciate when you actually show what you're talking about. Easy for people to get it and (for folks like me) gives me confirmation that I'm doing things right! Appreciate you!
It’s interesting you mentioned that as a DJ your ear is conditioned to know when a DJ is making a transition but the average person just dancing along doesn’t really care or hear it. I just started DJing few months ago but I always been fascinated with DJs that I think I developed the ear for it long long before o got my first mixer and pair speakers. So hopefully it helps me moving forward. Great video
You rock bro. I'm a mobile wedding dj who learned to mix by giving a cassette tape a quarter turn back to find the "one" (at the best fade out point). It always worked. In this new era, I felt I couldn't keep up with beat matching dj's, so I've been doubting my mixes. You've reaffirmed what I've always done......feel the song and crowd....cue the next banger....let it fly at the right time! you have great videos. i'm going to watch them all (learn how to best mix "Old Time Rock N Roll into Funky Cold Medina"
Hey djTLM, I love it how you reply to almost every comment, and how you explain things so clearly. You are one of my favorite DJs!. Keep up the good work!
Been watching your videos and really like your knowledge distribution. I myself have been DJing for a while now but I was only doing Dancehall/Reggae/Soca up to about 2006/ish. Seeing that I'm Jamaican I related more to that sorta music. Up to about maybe 8 or so years ago I started doing all types of genres and I find beat matching works great when you not only transition between songs of the same genre but when you are ready to change completely - like going from Soca to a Hip-Hop track with vast difference in BPMs.... Loving the videos and good job so far bro. Keep doing your thing!! It's DJ KurBen....One!
Its all about variety. I am not a brilliant beat matcher or scratcher but I make sure every song in a mix has a different type of transition. And if that isnt the case, I make sure I drop one of the songs in at the hook and the other at the verse for example. Messing around with volume, pitch, loops, incorporating EDM intro's or even mess around with effects is essential to be a dj in my eyes. Transitions are the moments you can impress, so be original.....
please keep doing more technical/advanced stuff and when you can link in other stuff you've already talked about even better! Even when the topic is basic or obvious in my view point or about funny shit like dj requests! Not to mention the tutorials! I always learn something or have a view that is so clear and concise. So infact, keep going mate, keep pumping them out, the knowledge is appreciated :)
i just got my first controller a month ago (and i really want to get into vinyl as well as soon as i got the money ;) ) and i really love your lessons! you're a good tutor, cuz of your voice and detailed explanations! i'm a teacher myself (for freerunning) so i can tell the difference between good and bad tutors! keep it up, cuz you're really helping beginners! thank you btw: I'm from Aachen, Germany, which is close to the dutch border and i'm often in Amsterdam, cuz i got a lot of friends over there. I definitely have to visit a show of yours!!! greets
mad helpful brother. I'm a producer/artist but I've been dj'ing for live purposes. Although pro in other aspects, I needed fundamental help in DJ'ing and man you are golden. Keep it up
Bro, hearing you talk in this video is like listening to myself! I spin in that same style, build up the night with nice blends then when it's hype time bang em out! One of the reasons I like to drop em on the 1 is for the element of surprise. I feel it gives more impact when the crowd is going crazy. Of course some songs still get blended in the hype but depends on the songs and vibe... Nice video, the youngin's need to learn how build a night and you are definitely giving them good guidance!
I appreciate you Bro! I Dj'd in high school and college. Back and be record crates and turntable coffin days. Your videos are extremely helpful and on point. Exactly what I need to help me make this transition back to a professional level. Peace and Blessings
Thank you for sharing and give us insights form your experience, totally make sense to me now thinking about it, when you said the crowd not really hearing the mix till you drop the new track .. glad I came across your channel! well done
Not that it matters but I always used the term "blending" instead of beat matching and "cutting" or "quick mix" instead of dropping it on the one. Anyway nice channel you have here. cheers
often i will drop on the one, but i will do a preview...(30 seconds about prior to the drop I blend the new song a tad) to let the club know they favorite song is coming up....great way to pull out more folks to the floor.
over hear in New Jersey the music is a very big part of are culture. I just came from a big high school dance and i noticed something that amazed me. it was the hype part of the evening and i was mixing in another track, as the track was playing aloud i quickly realized that i counted the bars wrong so i decided to take out the incoming track and just drop it on the 1 at the end of the hook, however the "ahhh!!!!" moment happened in the middle of my mix before i took the incoming track out. so the crowd noticed the mix before the transition was over. so when i reintroduced the track by dropping it on the one the reaction wasn't as hype. (was playing RnB and Hip-Hop). it was a very successful night everyone danced and enjoyed them selves and i was booked for next years event on the spot. just a little something i noticed. by the way love the videos I've learned a lot from you and have been subscribed for a good while now. couldn't make it to the SSS part 3 this time though. keep sharing the knowledge - DJ Jay The Dream
Jordan Watkins If the ahhh!!! moment happened in the middle of the mix your best option would have been to take out the old track and just let the new one continue (even though the count was wrong). The ahhh!!! moment will never be as strong the second time. Thanks for sharing!
Great Q&A like usual keep it up my brother.... just got a gig in a little pub opening in my neighborhood looking forward to start practicing with a real crowd.
Thanks for this. I really need to get my dropping it on the one game on. Well the scratching first (sad I know, im still a scratch novice after 12 years) then the dropping it on the one. I am a mixer. Sometimes I will cut to the next track or "tease" cut the next track (my favorite).
I really liked this video this will help me out a lot! I'm a rookie i knew about the warm up sets and i'm getting better at that. Thank you your videos are cool and are helping rookie djs like me.
I enjoy your explanation TLM 4 you break it down for young DJs like me can fully understand. I would like to add that it solely depends on the genre. I notice most Hip Hop and R&B DJs drop it on the 1 while most House/Techno DJs beat-match. They use both methods but I know one is used more than the other. Like you said. There is no wrong way and DJs of all genre use both. I personally have dropped it on the one. Especially if one track is running out and there is no time to beat match it. It is good to practice dropping it on the 1, but since I am a House DJ, beat-matching is the #1 thing.
100% House music leaves more room for long transitions. With Hip Hop and R&B we don’t get that too much. Mostly we have an 8 bar part for the transition
djTLMtv I mean the scratching techniques to use, if you bring in a song when you scratch on the first cue point (which is most times the first beat of a song). How to set the EQs correctly to have it sound good. Like you did at: 02:10. Im interested in the cutting techniques you use for that.
+djTLMtv I would like know more about scratch techniques you used to drop it on the one. What scratch is that? could you do a video explaining scratches you can use to dropping it on the one please.
i good way for transition for different bpms are when you drop the track on a break with no beat, easy with edm and electronica but maybe not so much with other genres
I would like know more about scratch techniques you used to drop it on the one. What scratch is that? could you do a video explaining scratches you can use to dropping it on the one please.
Hi DJ TLM i'm starting learning how to be a dj , and i whatch your videos a lot what you use to make your dj drop i was on your webside and i listen to your mixtapes there so cool thanks for sharing your knowledge
I've been djing for 5 months with 3 gigs under my belt. So far beat matching has been my go to, although I've dropped on the one a few times before and it worked smoothly. I think for now beat matching helps me to count in the next song more easily than dropping on the one until I develop more skills
3 gigs already? That’s impressive within 5 months👍🏾👍🏾 And it’s a good choice to go with the method that works best for you now. At a certain point counting becomes second nature. Then it will be much easier to do other things (like dropping it on the one)
Wow what a great tutorial. Can you please explain what scratch techniques you're using to scratch in the song on the one at 2:10 and even at around 3:20. Is it the Joe Cooley scratch you're using to get that sound ? If anyone else can help it would be much appreciated:)
Hey I was wondering if you can make a video of how you drop songs on the one when you at the peak of the night? Do you scratch them in or just hit the cue?
Whatever works best for you. I love scratching so I will bring most of them in with a scratch. Another advantage of that method is that (some) people in the crowd can hear that something new is coming
lovin these video's - I mix a lot of between 123 - 130 using Drop, but some times there's tunes (sub 120) that when beat matching are just out of reach (because of the +/- 5bpm rule) this is a great method of letting loose those low BPM but banging tracks (practice practise practise) :) keep'em coming T
Excellent advice!!! Reassuring, actually, because sometimes I feel like a failure when I don't blend. I drop it on the one when the bpm's are far off. It seems like it is all that I can do to make a good transition...
I have a question, how do you switch up the BPM from time to time, as the only time I do is through dropping it on the one with the echo effect on the other song ? Any other ways to do this ???
Great info for beginners. I do have a question, though. Is there a formula, or rule, when beat matching regarding mixing two phrases together? In other words, can you mix a 32 bar phrase with another 32 bar phrase without a break in between?
Hi, I'm not sure if I understand the "without a break in between" part. A 32 bar phrase would be a very long phrase though. I'm not sure if that happens a lot
@@djTLMtv Thanks for the reply. To be more specific, I have a mix tape from around 1986 where the DJ mixed "Get Some (Pretty Tony) with "808 beats (The Unknown DJ) for a couple minutes. I was confused coz it seemed a long time, but it worked. Was it a thing back then, or more a stylistic choice?
@@djTLMtv Actually in some genres like orignal UK Dubstep, 32 bar phrases are the absolute norm and anything else is more of an outlier. Only rarely it's 16 bars but never less than that. But it's also 140bpm so a lot faster than Hip Hop
Attention new dj's! When you're learning how to beat match, try it with some slow tunes eg some hip-hop instrumentals, even if you just want to play house, techno, electro, trance etc. Reason being that once you master blending slower tunes you will find the faster ones much easier to mix as you'll notice the beats going off much quicker! Take care people & happy dj'ing! Peace.
+truesouljs Nice Shout! Appreciate dude
truesouljs nice tip!
I learnt to beat match with Drum and Base..challenging. could mix anything after that though.
mhm... I actually disagree. I typically teach beat matching with simple house tunes. I find 4/4 kicks to be much easier to explain to beginners. Since the whole idea is a little difficult to explain I feel that it would be difficult to explain someone beat-matching with slower tunes that might have drastically different kick patters. Just my opinion. Not throwing shade or anything. It's a good idea definitely!
@@ceemills Also started with DnB. Found it easier for some reason, but maybe just cause I was so familiar with the music already.
Bro you killed this explanation. Well done! And always appreciate when you actually show what you're talking about. Easy for people to get it and (for folks like me) gives me confirmation that I'm doing things right! Appreciate you!
Jose Alvarez Yeah, I felt it was time to do more Q&A vidz with real examples. I'll try to do that a lot more. Thanks!
+djTLMtv Serious question, what scratching technique are you using on the transition, are you stabbing or chirping?
I could be wrong because I'm bad at terminology, but he's using scribble, drag, and chirp.
best teacher ever. thanks a ton
Years of mixing and I still seem to find something great in every one of these videos
It’s interesting you mentioned that as a DJ your ear is conditioned to know when a DJ is making a transition but the average person just dancing along doesn’t really care or hear it.
