[@andrewmargan5677]

I’ve been DJing 30+ years. Best explanation I’ve seen in a 20 min video. And there was new stuff I’m looking to try too. Massive respect for DJ Carlo.

[@djcarlo]

Thank you do much! I tried to make the video as packed and concise as possible haha

[@Me-tp6ll]

Song selection is everything.. i find its way more pleasant to hear song that blend together than having a fancy Pro play

[@djcarlo]

Yes! Song selection is, bottom line, the most important part of DJing. But, the focus of the video is on technique, so I didn't discuss that anymore here. This is more of the "how" rather than the "what" :)

[@DJTimeLock]

Sure, but if everything blends together perfectly it might also become a bit stale. So i think it's fun to mix it up (pun intended) every so often to keep the crowd on their toes ^^

[@LaplacianFourier]

@@Me-tp6ll agreed! 💯

[@kozmobluemusic]

you may have great ingredients, but if you don't know how to work with them, your dish is going to taste like shit song selection is the most important part of DJing, but it's not an excuse to avoid learning relevant technique

[@eyespy3001]

⁠​⁠@@DJTimeLockEhh, not really. I’ve been going to clubs (and DJing in them) for nearly thirty years. All you need to _get_ a crowd dancing is a bouncy groove and a bit of familiarity. If it’s a song they’re even somewhat familiar with, they’ll get engaged (which is why any Michael Jackson song is an instant party starter). Once you have them dancing and on your side, as long as you keep the groove going, you’re good. I’ve found that these James Hype-type of transitions are what make a crowd lose interest. It gives them audio whiplash, and it tires their minds out quickly. You can’t do peak time all the time. As Carlo said in this video, if you are going to use these flashy techniques, keep them to a bare minimum. One in the beginning of your set, one at the peak, and one towards the end of your set.

[@ronald8664]

I was unintentionally doing these without prior knowledge about them, this video made me even feel better about my progress, love the work

[@djcarlo]

Amazing! That just means that you've gotten far enough in your DJing to have discovered these techniques on your own. So proud of you!

[@propertymaintenancesouthwe3111]

I’ve watched hundreds of dj mixing “how to’s” including yours, but this is by far the best explainer of all mixing options and this is defo going to be useful,thanks for taking the time to put these videos together mate, much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@djcarlo]

I'm really so happy you think so! I try to make all my tutorials as concise as possible; I tend to forget what's common knowledge at times, so I just go with all the steps I can think of! 🥳

[@PacketElf]

OMG. This is pure gold! This video feels like a full mixing class in 20 minutes. I’m going to spend the next week going through this minute by minute. Thank you for putting together such a great compilation!

[@djcarlo]

You're very welcome! I feel like these are all very important ideas that every DJ should know, so im glad you appreciate the lessons!

[@Dhruvinator]

one thing i learned from my (relatively short) journey so far is that if i fk up a mix, DO NOT PANIC and just act as if it was intentional and keep hyping up the crowd, because they usually don’t gaf unless it’s a fest or smth and even then, don’t let one mistake ruin the night. for example, at a party i was at, my friend was playing and i was in the booth, he PANICKED and i told him to just breathe and quickly play the next song

[@djcarlo]

Well said!

[@lowyieldbondfunds]

My man DJ Carlo wasn't kidding when he said this goes from Beginner to Pro! I had to stop 1/3rd of the way because the techniques are getting too advanced haha. But good to know this video has it all! I'll be coming back to this video again and again.

[@djcarlo]

Thank you! And yeah, take your time with this one, and keep coming back as you advance your techniques!

[@Determ1nista]

I was doing the same with EQ transitions without knowing much, just experimenting. Thanks for your videos, they help me to feel more confident and to perfect my technique.

[@djcarlo]

That's awesome! That means you've essentially discovered some of the techniques on your own. Proud of you buddy!

[@dkshmeeks]

One thing to add on eq'ing is that it's really something you can feel out in the moment. Instead of following a procedure every transition which will get repetitive, just get good intuition of how a mix responds when you eq and allow yourself to be creative every time

[@djcarlo]

That's true! It's hard to pin down in a video, but there's a billion and a half ways to play with the EQ per transition to get everything right. This was just a basic dive into it

[@omgurbeck9834]

Perfectly explained, some of the simpler techniques seemed more complicated in other videos but the way you present it makes it so simple and obvious, thank you

[@djcarlo]

I try to make all the techniques as easy to digest as possible on this channel, so I'm glad you think so! :D

DJ Carlo I am a music producer. I make my own music on my MPC 37 key MPC 61 key and I played bass. Also, what is a good DJ controller that’s portable that has a drum machine so I can collaborate with my MPC 37 key and my 61 . The reason is because when my performing on the producer and I’m gonna have to DJ at the same time why because I can’t afford a DJ point me in the right direction.

[@djcarlo]

Oof, I don't think any have drum machines. You may wanna look into getting a Launchpad along with something like a FLX10

[@vasilikiprassa681]

Good evening, very nice video, I wanted to ask a question that may be unrelated, but could you recommend a relatively cheap speaker to connect to my Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller and maybe you could tell me what cables I need like usb, rca to connect them because I've seen a lot of videos and I can't find someone to explain them in detail, I also don't know if the computer plays a role but I have a macbook air, thank you very much for your patience🙂💛

[@djcarlo]

I'm not so well versed on speakers, so that'll need a little more research, but RCAs are what you'll need for the FLX4. A MacBook Air should be fine

[@Hagelnot]

I was thinking flac is the best audio data? What do you think about those? Are wav still better to use?

@@djcarlo Ah I see, thanks for clarifying :)

[@leobali8379]

I've realized that if you select correctly your songs the blends apear to your mind magically and more often than not you don't need to do crazy stuff to make it sound really nice. This super complex mixing techniques are not as useful as they seem because each song has what i would call a "blending vibe" as if the song were whispering "hey, this is the path". And almost always isn't that complex. You know, at the end this is art, not a sport, DJing is not a competition to see who can make the hardest transition but a performance to enjoy the best sensitivity and selection. If you want to do crazy stuff do it, but don't feel forced to master those techniques, that is not the essence.

[@djcarlo]

In the big picture, I'd just like to think of it as let folks enjoy the way the wanna mix. Some people feel their mixes, others study their mixes and are a bit more technical, others combine both and add more elements. That's why I keep coming up with these tutorials without getting too complicated for the most part; having fun is what DJing is all about, but the skill is still necessary if you ask me.

can u teach how the release fx work on flx4 and what different are there

[@djcarlo]

The FX would be dependent on your software with the FLX4. Only difference I'd say is that it has Smatt Fader and Smart CFX

[@djcarlo]

Nope! They're actually very much on. The screens just don't show up well in full daylight; the lights and screens weren't designed for daytime hahaha
