Nothing I love more than someone pronouncing epitome as EPIH-TOHM

" We're gonna tap the ladies every beat" ;)

I am always blown away by how good this all sounds. And you really know how to explain what you do

Awesome tutorial. Really helped me add something new. I was hot cue jumping and got bored.... but the rhythm and melodies section was the best!! Thanks so much!

one of the best tutorial I have ever watched

Totally awesome tutorial !! Love your videos and channel

Omg, I managed to replicate all the Epitome of Hype/Turn Around part of the tutorial. Bit clumsy, but..! Thankyou so much Jamie. Your teaching is so clear :)

Been DJing for 20 years. Took a break for family life. Now wanting to get back in for fun. Preordered for the Prime 4. So in the meantime this is a great way to learn how to DJ like the rest of the Millennials. I am putty In your hands.

Wow, this is the best tutorial I have seen so far, and exactly what I need. Thanks Jamie

Excellent tutorial, feel like I've come away with so much more knowledge than expected

Like this tutorial, simple and easy to follow to recreate with other tracks. Keep up the good work!

The best dj instructor on youtube!

U are the best! Big fan from Hungary🤜

Love the video!!

Good, you drop the video when I was mixing 😂😉🔥

Thank you so much for this informative and explicit video I loved the final mix!

BRILLIANT VIDEO!! I will be returning to this a couple of times. So much useful info... so many good ideas...

Top tips as usual and always well explained

Cheers legend ! Without these tutorials the DDJ400 would be a plastic box collecting dust after 3 months !!!

Best teacher

perfect tutorial

This is a decent technique I’ve had incorporated for a while now starting to manipulate sounds with my hand on the platter the possibilities really are endless you could scratch in a nice heavy bassline project it into the background of the other track with subtle touches sharp clean cuts, then there’s endless creativity cutting in hats or beats, other instruments. This is a great video wish there was more advanced like it around. Cheers💯

Last tip on this video was amazing, it really opened a door for me even if it seems so basic!!

This is sick

appriciated, this one is good

It's amazing to me that this page doesn't get more views, so much good information!!

You do the best videos ever

I don’t usually mix in key but when it comes to live mashups and hot cue playing i prefer key syncing

Awesome dude just got a ddj sb2 so hopefully I can apply this..great job

Excellent

14:16 Just obe more detail (yes, I'm picky). He's playing the track until the next 1. That just feels more natural and is a little bit easier. But it sounds more natural to only play it until the 4. The singer is breathing between the 4 and the next 1. You wouldn't breathe there if you wouldn't continue singing. So it would sound even more natural if you cut out with the crossfader on the 4.

Great lessons. Gained good knowledge. Thank you so much!

13:58 - I haven't used Serato in a while but from memory, if the track is already playing, hitting a hot cue button or key once and taking your finger off would start the track playing from the cue point and keep playing, whereas if the track was stationary to begin with you would have to keep your finger on the cue button/key to keep the track playing from the cue point.

It was nice, thx! 😮

Nice tutorial!! It helped me so much.

i learned a lot from this video , thank you

Jamie....... Could say this on any of your vids...... Fair play mate.... I like what you do an unlike some other people your a great presenter, love alot of your videos, I'm probly a more fair to advanced jock as far as skills and functional abilities but learnt sum basic stuff I'd missed over the years.... I just wanted say well played mate..... Doing the lil doo ain't ya.... 😂 😂 😂 👏

worth having somewhere to go if you are doing this as part of a performance, don't get trapped in it, having more than 2 decks and preping a drop on your 3rd deck before performing a section like this is a good idea.

From 21:00 it gets really creative. Really like it

really well explained. Thank you

What a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. So easy to follow, although you do make it look very easy. Look forward to more from you. Take care

Fantastic thank you for this step by step guide

Excellent tutorial. Very clearly laid out and demonstrated.

Really good video. it didnt feel rushed like a lot of these do

Good work. Note, I pronounce Epitome as Apitamee. 👍🎶

Thank you! Appreciate this!

Good video, nice to some see creative djing being promoted. Creative djs stand out from the rest of the "usual" A-B mixers! At the end of the day companys such as pioneer, denon keep improving the hardware to enable djs to become creative! Keep up with the tutorials guys👍🔊👌

Thank you for explaining this part:-)

Excellent tutorial, please keep going on :)

This is my favourite one of your RU-vid videos I've watched so far 10/10

Amazinggg tutorial. Very well made 👍🏻

Really enjoying your vids. Please keep up with the good work!

Thank you crossfader👍

Great Tutorial m8! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

such a good teacher

Thanks for the tutorial, I've been doing this lately with Traktor's sampler, but instead of doing it with the crossfader I just set the samples as one-shot and gated so they only play while I'm holding down the assigned button, I feel like it's easier to stay in tempo and less work for your hands while performing that way.

great video, thank you!

Thank you, that was brilliant :)

Awesome video!!! Keep it up 👍🏼

You are so helpful! Thank you for your time to post these tips for beginners!! You explain everything in detail but without all the extra conversation that confuses people, lol thank you dj crossfader!!!!

Really Cool Jamie...

Very cool ! Thanks

Thanks Jamie, your experience really shines through, awesome stuff and got me interested in one of your ful courses for my rx2

This was amazing. Thanks.

Ty as always jamie

I love this, so good ❤️

Just Superb Tips...

In Serato you don't need to use the crossfader, just press and hold the hotcue releasing the hotcue when you want it to stop(when the track is not playing of course).

WOW THANK YOU DJ discOworm

so cool, keep it up

nice tips! thx

great tips thanks :)

As I said before, great videos.... :-)

great

Great content thanks for sharing

osm trick

Hell yeah

Thank you, man! See you at UMF in the future))

Thanks heaps

Great Vid! But i feel like you guys need some more advanced DJ tricks, this stuff is pretty common sense and super easy!

What boggles my mind is how some dj's can come to my house pick out 2 random songs and mix them perfectly. How tf do they know when to mix in the next track without knowing the songs?

Ladies with an attitude

Great video! Please add more. Also I would love to know when you are offering a discount on your courses.

I really love your setup.. could you please put up link to where I can get the hardware you are using.

Can you do tutorial with virtual Dj paired with ddj 800. . Thanks . the good n bad of of the combo

real talk; jaime hartley brought me nan home on a week's end and while she was pissed he juss tucked her in and said goodnight when he could have TUCKED her ins' and said good, night. he could have just packed it!

wow you're amazing
