Learn to DJ with 4 Decks! 

Black Friday Sale now live: www.clubreadydjschool.com/club-ready-dj-course/ I added so much new content and bonus material - I have been devoting so much love and energy to it these past few months, hopefully you like :)

Your energy is infectious. Great work. You're like the Bob Ross of djing 😁🙌🙌

Do a melodic house & techno set with 4 decks!!! That would be sick!

Part of me wants to learn the DJ tricks while another part of me wants Andrew to just keep the music going and is disappointed when he stops to teach. LOL

You make everything look easy. Your audio is nice and clean.

Haha I swear I was way more stressed and busy working the eqs trying to have things not clash. You are way more relaxed about it.

Okay folks you cannot teach what he has. He has an inner knowing has been to many kick ons, vibed TF out. The man is apart of the new wave 🌊

I bought a DDJ-1000 about a month ago, and it's just the best thing ever. Playing around with four decks, and having all the effects at my fingertips is just so much fun! What I love the most, though, is the minimalist visuals on the decks themselves. I just have to glance at my screen to select my next track, and the small waveforms and color-coded cue points are more than enough to play all night. It's so immersive and you're absolutely right when you say it makes you a better DJ

If you were a seller in a DJ shop you would be able sell me the whole shop! Great, great tutorial man!

Great Vid Andrew. If any of you sitting on the fence re doing the course, just jump in, you will not be disappointed! Thorough, professional and put together with Andrew's passion for music and djing.

The second example on this video hits SO HARD, and then the third example hit harder. It's seriously making me want to pick up a 4 deck. There's so much more room for creativity. Eye balling the DDJ-FLX10.

Thanks for the video! Was considering a ddj 800. Now seeing you mix 4 channels makes me want the 1000 🔥🔥💜💜

Love to watch you teaching us -You are such a positive Person. Iwill buy you online course someday for sure.

Even if techhouse, minimal and electric sounds are not my favorite genre it is always a huge pleasure to see 4 decks in operation!

Honestly I really like your videos! I've been watching them from time to time and enthusiasm is really contagious :D I am considering to buy a 4 Deck Controller since I am using my Traktor Kontrol S2 since 8 years now. Got the opportunity in clubs and on some smaller festivals to have a third deck and mate this exponentially makes mixing soo much more fun! Seeing your video right now I am definitely getting a new controller in the near future! Still not quite sure going for Traktor Kontrol S4 or the Pioneer DDJ 1000

I use a "stoplight" system in my out points (memory cues). Red: be out here; orange: 32 before and yellow: 64 beats before red. My hot cues are to jump in the track and are also laid out similar. 1 is at the breakdown: 32 before and 64 before. Some other tracks require different setups of course, but the above is my default workflow. After practice I also go back to change in and out points to do better. It allows me to mix tracks without really knowing them yet. I also place multiple out point sets for letting a track play out or cutting it short.

This video was so informative and I love the energy of this guy as well 👍🏼

Don't even have a controller, have been goofing around in rekordbox free version. I'm already hooked. Of course I've been relying on synch and such, but am quickly adapting. Only been at it a day, and I've kind of just been looping "Rump (Extended Mix)", "Red Alert (The Cube Guys Remix)" and "C'Est La Vibe (Extended Mix)" repeatedly, figuring out different/best ways to overlay or combine them. Been having a blast with just those three songs, can only imagine how much more interesting it will be with my full collection, and possibly an entry level controller like maybe a DDJ-FLX4.

I'm starting with the ddj400 but plan to upgrade to the ddj 1000 after your course and I turn in an approved mix. Thanks for another great video.

Honestly, I liked the video after a few seconds and paused it then at 2:47 to start (once again) looking for an 4-Deck-Controller. That was yesterday. Now I'll watch the rest of the video knowing a Reloop Mixon 4 will arrive in a few days. For just 300€ I finally found a controller, that ticks all my boxes and possible even more than that. You're inspiring. Thanks!

You've just convinced me I need a 4 track controller! It's fun messing with 4 decks on the SB3 but this looks much more fun :) love your vids dude

With dnb I'll process all of my tracks with cues on my normal mix in and out points so that I can either quickly skip to exactly where I need to be to be able to mix in, since sometimes when using 4 decks you might at times have only a single phrase to mix the song in, or to be able to just glance at the waveform and know exactly how long I've got to pick a song. Mixing dnb fast with 4 decks is genuinely so much fun but you have to prep your tunes to get the blends you want everytime.

man i had a sick club grade system 1210s mk3 i had 2 cdjs 450s few year back but . i might look at in future ... but i have just a reloop controller for £ 30 .. and its well better i hated haveing to stand . sat in my pc chair with this is far better . am loveing the mixbilty with out deadicating half a room to vynl and wires

love your videos man, have a great week!! 😍

Amazing trick Mixing the Noise & trans Always learning from you ! Thanks Legend !

Bro ur unreal 😂 need to get myself on that course

You make everything seem so easy Andrew! also with the vibe to match, always excited when watching you teach

Absolutely phenomenal!!! Thank you for your lessons I really love them!! I just got comfortable with 3 and slowly working on 4 decks.

Your channel is underatted i really enjoyed you mixing this songs and learned alot thanks man ❤❤

I've been wanting to get an upgrade to the ddj-1000 and after this video I am so totally getting it!

I have the same controller. I’ve been learning to mix with 4 decks. Thanks for the awesome tips 🙌🏼

Thanks Thacher.long life for you.

Great video. Always a fun time with you. Best regards from Ecuador.

Amazing as always! Love that you’ve put the waveforms on the top of the screen during the mix, hope to see this in future mixes :))

I love my DDJ1000, personally, I think it is the best piece of Pioneer gear out. Between hot cues and beat jump, I feel like I have total control of the music. The CDJ3000 may match the ability to have that control, but I haven't had the opportunity to give them a try. I think Pioneer needs to find more ways to merge the workflows of controllers (1000) and CDJs, again the 3000s appear to have done some of that, but they could go further. Thanks for you videos. I look forward to Monday moring every week.

This section was very interesting and insightful. I can feel your personal touch in every step. It is not only about technical perfection (lets leave it to robots) but about soul and personality. I feel encouraged to experiment with more decks :)

Awesome vid man... looks like I’ll have to upgrade from my DDJ 400 to the 1000 now😉🤦🏻‍♂️

Personally im playing the harder styles of techno, more like rave techno. I also use the pioneer ddj1000. You help me so much teaching the art of djing. I want to thank you for al the videos you made!!! ❤

Love the video! Gave me the confidence to begin trying four decks

Wicked mate you make it look easy I do get a little bit confused using 4 decks with only two jog wheels and pressing the button to flick in between and there is a little bit of an issue wih the beat adjusting but a great demonstration I find that all that preparation is a bit of a kill for me and takes the fun out of mixing I can’t fill the vibe if I’m mixing to que points a computer mite as well do it but that’s just my opinion

Been on the ddj 400 and man this looks like so much fun

been watching you for a little bit and i like how you shot this video !

Great energy 😎😎

Wow! This is a great learning experience 👍

brilliant!! i can relate so much to this on my DDJ-800 thank you!

You just give me a great idea for my upcoming gig,thanks as always

This video was good for a noob to learn from, as a noob iv been playing around with 4 channels but on a rolando dj 202 (hard work it is) ... Iv been doing the same thing with 3 channels.. But with channel 4 iv been using a vts plugin anolog lab with a mpk mini 2 where you can play whatever instrument you like over 1,2,3.

To be honest I thought you were going to Connect your CDJ’s to the DDJ 1000. Andrew your very smooth on the 4 deck controller. I’ve messed with acapellas on the other layered decks. It may simplify things to actually use CDJs on channels 3 & 4 than the layered combination channels of the controller.

recently i fell in Love with Progressive House make a whole Video about it, plz

Thanks for all your knowledge!! ❤️

Wow I never knew about dual decks 😮that’s a great way 2 learn before spending out on another player ..I use XDJ-XZ so thinking about getting a XDJ 1000 player

Great lesson again , good combo with your course, you make easier my improvements, well done mate

Love your tracks selection ❤️

i love this guy!! the best way to learn! XD

Thank you so much. 🙏

Excellent video fella 👍👍

I find it a bit hard to mix well with dual layers due to you cant just throw a look at the screen and easily see where you are on the layer below. Well you can, but not the same with the grid vs not grid. Maybe its something I just need to get used to? I def think a 3rd deck for example is as its own is easier than dual layers.

love the content as always

Yaaaaaayy .. happy dj being happy makin me happy

You have won me over, consuming all your content!

Can you do a tutorial how to mix a freestyle mashup with 4 decks

the joy of a controller!!!!

Do you bypass your A/B Crossfader all together? Or can you assign the tracks to just A? I use the DDJ-800, I was wondering how you have it slid all the way to A without it doing anything.

Huge fan of your content. Appreciate all you posts. Have you ever used the XDJ RR?

Andrew how about a giveaway for the ddj 400 🤔😅?

*In this video you said you were uploading a 4 deck mix soon after this video. I can't find it, have you already uploaded the 4 deck mix? :)*

Hey- does it have a sync button? Can’t see it! :)😊

Why is the crossfader all to the left? Are we actually hearing deck 2 and 4?

Hey Andrew - love your energy and videos! I have the DDJ1000 - do you think it is worth adding a pair of XDJ1000mk2's?

What can you say about Traktor S4Mk3

Do you prefer Decks with screens or using your laptop connected? Whats your favorite deck to use that's not club gear? good vid mate!

bro can i load music files directly on this controller from pendrive Or have to export from laptop with rekordbox software to pendrive to load on controller

Best site to get acapellas? Any thoughts?

hey. How do you do the slip loop but still have the main loop active at minute 8:40? When I use the slip/roll loop my previous selected loop deactivates..

Legend 👌🏻🔥

TBH, playing on 2+ decks is easier on separate players than on 2deck/4channel controller.... you have much more control over the track without the need switch decks on the controller.... but yeah, if you learn to play on controller like DDJ-1000, it's much easier on players later.

can mixing with 3 decks still be done on a ddj 400??? thanks in advance

Next vid maybe How to assembly dj?

another great video. I’m looking at the xdj-rx3 4 channel vs. the xdj-rx3 4 channel. any opinion on which to get? Is it true that XZ’s 2 additional channels will only function with external gear hooked up, vs how this RX3 can run all 4 channels internally ?? TYSM for any feedback!!! 🤟🏼

Can you use 4 decks with 2 controllers?

Why isn't is 1-3 2-4 that's drove me mad 🤣

🤘🏻

the ddj1000 is probably the best product ever made by pioneer in terms of price/quality, also there really is no reason you'd ever have to upgrade from this so its also future proof

Is it just me or was the booth shaking like there was an earthquake LOL

......and people say all djs do is push play and act like they are playing with knobs.

Bro u showing only two deck on screen not 4 deck

n ot to be weird... but do i know you from somewhere? lol.. are you involved in anything else on youtube.. non dj related ?

Why you're crossfeder?

I love this guy his vibes are immaculate 😂
