This is a great tip. I recently heard a DJ at a high school dance that didn't do any cueing. He didn't even have headphones with him. When one song was completely faded out, he would then start the next track at the beginning. There was absolutely no flow the entire night. Being a high school dance, rap is popular. The crowd had to listen to every rapper's shoutout in the intro before the "meat" of the songs started.
I have had to purchase a set of headphones twice because I had arrived at a gig and realized that I left them at home. All because of the importance of cueing the song where it needs to be in order to bring it into the mix at the right spot. Thank goodness for Radioshack!!!
awsome video.. some people try to hard to blend the mixes and make them clean and its a good thing but sometimes a bad song needs to be change even if it has to just be thrown in. good video for a lot of dj's!
Very good tips there, tho imo the tunes used 'i will survive' and the 'black eyed peas' tune atleast in here people know the intros very well and already get pretty hyped from those, never the less. Very nice advices and good practice. Good video.
usher such a good track reminds me of my local night club they will play it every time i;m in their without fail. been tryin to get it on 12" now thats been hard work. by the good vid.
Good tips Julian! Most DJ CD players can stores cues too, so once you've set ands stored them for your popular tracks, they will be there next time too.
