i'm teaching my brother and sister how to mix, and they always wonder how i manage to hear the drop coming in the club. since i've taught them counting the beats and bars and understanding phrases they finally get it!

@saZaBi71 Год назад

just turned 38, recently started practicing on my ddj 400 that's been sitting in my room for years. and i wanna thank u for being part of my journey

@ReallyChrisM Год назад

This makes me happy :) Never too late to get started! Glad I could play a small part

@DJLyncho Год назад

You should record some sets and listen back.

Solid vid mate. Thank you!

Coming up to 50 this year and just bought a ddj-flx4. Your videos are helping me understand the basics and why I'm doing it, thanks! Obviously I'm at that stage of thinking there is no way I will be able to count at the same time as mix things in 🤣 I guess the next stage is where you just are talking to your friend and suddenly start counting in bars whilst they look at you thinking you've gone mad! 🤣🤣

Bars in a bar.. I’m feeling it 👌

@papitou4140 Год назад

great tutorial and great editing. the funny thing is that i'm very comfy producing music but find djing live very daunting experience and get pretty anxious when it comes to doing a perfect transition live. to the point i've actually done some premixes with epic transitions in daw but then there is a problem if the crowd doesn't get the song and it can't be skipped, which obviously sucks. any tips ?

@ReallyChrisM Год назад

Rather than spending the time premixing in the DAW - perhaps use that time to practice the mix on your decks instead. The more deck time you get the more confident you will become :) If it helps, literally plan and practice the entire set at home (as much as possible) beforehand. Hope it helps!

@Nosh_Feratu Год назад

little tip. people dont expect perfection, they just expect good music...make that your goal. . and just play more

@DJLyncho Год назад

My brain just does it automatically now after 14 years

@ReallyChrisM Год назад

Yep I think that happens with many things you practice over and over. Counting music is really helpful when this is all totally new, but as you do it more and more you need to rely on it less

@DJTHRILLER Год назад

Same here but mine comes from drumming so many years. It has greatly helped me dj.

@ReallyChrisM Год назад

@@DJTHRILLER i can see that being a massive help!

@DJLyncho Год назад

Hey, thanks for the video. I've been struggling with something similar lately and I don't know how can I achieve what I want by counting. Let's say I want to mix song A with song B. Song A has a hot cue (let's call it H) where it might be a hot cue to indicate the start of the outro. Song B has its downbeat at X minute. Song A has been playing and reaching to hot cue H. How can I count the bars/phrases left **until** hot cue H, so I can apply those in song B from the downbeat **and back** to achieve a perfect mixing? A fantastic timeline is below to show what I mean. song A is playing -----------------H song B is playing -----------------downbeat Not sure if I'm explaining it correctly though. Cheers!

Becoming a Dj was one of my best ideas the past 10 years. I play guitar, drums, sing, and played live shows for 6 years with a metal genre type band. How I got the job was from a DJ who didn't want to play requests. He got overwhelmed by people asking for songs (derp) He left, and I asked my boss to go up and do it. I'm the definition of a social butterfly. So listening to people and interacting in general is easy. Even after the first 20 minutes of being in the overwhelmed friend of ours, I had a full dancefloor of people dancing. Even though I had no idea how to work the ddj800 past loading songs from tidal. So you can imagine haha. Loading one song, finding another, having it ready on deck two, rinse repeat. I'm in my 4th month now. I've ventured into production with edm and dance music. I've made hundreds of my own samples, learned how to code even haha. If you're musically gifted, and have no job currently, I suggest DJing or something similar. WIth the rapid growth of AI and many other tools available to us... it's absolutely the best time. Don't get stuck working the 9-5 that you hate. If you can, take a paycut. At least you'll be learning and improving yourself everyday... and enjoying it to boot.
