The last time I was training DJing, I got bored mixing the outro with the intro. I felt my mix losing energy. I had no idea what to do and followed intuition. First, I picked up a few tracks with the same key and a couple of songs with the key higher by two. It was much better, but not enough. Then, I have tried to mix quicker. I tried to skip the boring intro and bring the most catching parts of the next song right before the breakdowns of the previous. Finally, I came up with mixing about a minute of each song. I was not able to stand still anymore. I was dancing and enjoying the ENERGY. It's so amazing that my intuitive play got supported by this video! Thank you, I will try all the other tips!

[@djcarlo]

Give it a shot bud! Looks like you've already got the music in you with the right energy!

3:23 This is all good and well if you're only a DJ, but if you are a musician, like me, these are: 2A - D#m, 1A - G#m, 3A - A#m and 2B - F# Also not the most logical keys to play on guitar. Or piano. In fact, 8 is white keys: 8A - Am & 8B - C. As for typical guitar tuning: 9A - Em & 9B - G. So yeah, I try to remember it all by Camleot - Key Name.

[@djcarlo]

Indeed! With actual instruments, things get far more complex.

[@amb.iant_yt]

I have no idea what the whole A B system we got going on is, but my settings are in the traditional major/ minor, and while it isn’t always perfect, i listen to my library a lot, and I know my scales, so I will just adjust the keys of my tracks. It also helps if I can sing the melody on top of the existing song, because if I can, I can probably mix them. And I can usually tell how far away the keys are because the melody sounds feel higher or lower imposed on the track at hand. I then use the headphones to make sure the new track is in the key I envisioned, and it never fails

[@djcarlo]

That works too! As long as your environment and settings allow you to work your magic, then stick to it and keep wowing your audience!

[@seeeyegee3061]

The whole video was incredibly informative as always!!!

[@djcarlo]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for the continuous support!

[@djbrandao]

I really loved how this video went way deeper into the selection element, even implicitly when talking about mixing in key. Also, the breakdown on breakdown harmonic mix is something that becomes very pleasant to do and hear, specially on underground music, where you have pretty long breakdowns and can overlap - using the eq, obviously - synths with the same chord progression.

[@djcarlo]

Correct! The thing is, selection and harmonies are some techniques that don't get enough love in the DJ world for me. Even if harmonic mixing isn't for every genre, it really shines in electronic music.

[@djbrandao]

Also, I came here to say I bought MIK and it was a game changer for me. I consider myself a pretty seasoned DJ, but I never gave too much attention to cue points and their versality. I finally can play 30 and more tracks in one hour using all the good parts. And while it's not hard on techno to read the waveform and guess the energy of the track, when you fail it live it's not good for the crowd. And yesterday I had the privilege to mix my whole library of more than twenty years of techno songs without knowing what is what, just based on energy levels, and it was very pleasant to do so with some sort of guide for that. I remember when our only visual cue (for energy) was how dense and close together the vinyl lines would look. Keep spreading knowledge!

[@74Cheshire]

At 7:13 - Wish more DJs would read the text you've got on screen and get it into their head that pre-prep isn't for cheats, it's for people who want to put in more effort to get great results. DJ'd for years 'on-the-fly', and while that's fine, the results I get now with prep are just on a total different level. It's like ANY creative endeavour - If you want to make something special, you should be prepared to... prepare! I'd add 2 more tips that definitely weren't apparent to me in my early DJ years: 1) Buy tunes in all different keys so you can actually stay in key and go where you want. Non-flashy tunes with a solid basic groove can be just as important to make your set work as bangers. 2) Don't think of 3-deck mixing as harder, it's actually easier! Instead of thinking of it like juggling 3 things, think of the 3rd deck as a way to comfortably get the next track ready without having to find a way to exit the existing mix if it's good! And if you start phasing with 3 decks playing, don't panic, just listen to the new track against the master in your headphones and you'll rapidly be able to tell if it's the new tune that's out (it is 9 times out of 10).

[@djcarlo]

Great extra tips bud! The two you mentioned could definitely be helpful to other DJs out there! And yes, prep is always the key (seriously, who thinks prepping is cheating??). There's nothing wrong with DJing on the fly, but knowing your music can make for better and more intricate sets! Just don't plan *everything* and be averse to ruining your set; keep your core, but be open to taking detours so everyone has a good time!

Personally, I mix Soulful House and I love to "make up a story" by weaving tracks together with complementary lyrics.

[@djcarlo]

Ohhhh, I do love this approach. It's actually fairly difficult since you really need to know the lyrics inside out, but the end product is usually stunning. Kudos for doing that!

[@aurora2319]

@@djcarlo ". It's actually fairly difficult since you really need to know the lyrics inside out" I believe this is what you do too in DJ contests. Challenging but very rewarding from creativity point of view. To achieve it, I indeed listen and prepare annotations in the ID tag comments of my tracks, marking which track may complement another. I also put my tracks in playlists sung by men or women. That way I can make story where men and women talk to each others. For example in 1 track where a woman sings that she afraid to fall in love again, in the next track the guy will sing "no matter if you don't feel it cos I'm a fool for love" I'll upload a mix if you want

[@dennisskyden]

I use MiK too and I must say for me it doesn‘t really make sense to put automatically cue points on the track. I label all the cue points, so I give myself hints, what‘s happening at this point. The most important feature on this software is the most correct detection of the key, because the DJ softwares make mistakes sometimes. So this software doesn‘t really help saving a lot of time, if you need a good and complete preparation 😅 (for me)

[@djcarlo]

In all fairness, each DJ has their own preferences on it. I've also shuffled around some of the cue points MIK gave me, but dang, good on your for labelling the cue points! TBH that's hella helpful during sets haha

great video. Is there a software that beat grids your songs correctly? I have found using serato pro that probably about one in 9/10 tracks have the beat grid in-between the beats and not on the beats however short of going through hundreds of tracks I don't find this out till I am actually trying to mix the track. I know how to edit the beat grid manually and correct this but it is time consuming especially seeing as it is something that the dj software is supposed to be doing. Basically what I am asking is that is there a program that does for beatgridding what mixed in key does for question points and labelling?

[@icleave]

You need to learn how to read the crowd, I think you only get this from djing enough parties or club sets... it's like a sense of knowing what song selection is best and how to manage the crowd's energy levels. The tips I have for club djs is to identify sub-groups in crowds so you can rotate groups of people from the dancefloor to the bar so the club rakes in the cash while you still maintain the dancefloor. If you can prove to club management that you make more money when you dj you'll get a residency. You might have experienced this at a club when the dj drops a track and you're like "eh? I'm not feeling this I'll go get a drink" or when you're at the bar and you're like "damn this is my song, I need to get on the dancefloor". Lastly having a premix of tracks works when you need the toilet lol.

[@djcarlo]

Hahaha, that final one is really important! Just make sure you're not up on a stage or anything when you set a premix!

You're welcome bud! Really glad you love the videos! Now for MIK and Serato DJ Lite, it should work, but the problem is, I don't think Lite has key detection, so the cue points will be there, but the keys won't.

It was a fairly new discovery for me too! But man, it works well!

[@IamTheTimmy]

I usually dislike the power block mixing style with a passion. back when it was vinyl only, my friends and I called it "Bad Boy Bill-ing" it. I do understand why it's so hot and fully appreciate the talent and skill (and the massive library) required to pull it off for an entire set, though. We might do it for fun when just messing around, but usually we just stick to the intro/outtro progressive style of mixing where it's not about the DJ or a flashy performance; it's about a smooth ride from start to finish where half the time the crowd doesn't even know that they just grooved to three different songs in 15 minutes. Successfully riding a transition between songs for 2 minutes without sync, loops or effects (just faders and EQ) can be an achievement. We're a dieing breed, the progressive DJ 😞

thank you for the information good sir,

[@djcarlo]

I'm glad you do bud! And I'm always happy to share the lessons I've learned :3

[@gozo2369]

Very informative, best video yet..🎹

[@djcarlo]

Thanks for watching till the end! Glad you really enjoyed the lessons on this one!

[@dilshanmadusanka8012]

Thank you

[@djcarlo]

Thanks for supporting as well bud! Hope you learned something from the video!

[@jayknipphotographystudios5113]

So which version gives you the que points and all ? There are so many add ons?

[@djcarlo]

Go for Mixed in Key 10! That's the one you're looking for.

[@JoshWhiton]

Hi Carlo - at 4:00 you show the typical key progression for your sets (7B, 7A, 8A, 8A, 10A, 10A, 9A, 9A, 8A). But what's going on with the BPMs? How can the key of the song control the energy more than the bpm's? You're not sticking with one bpm for the entire set, are you?

[@djcarlo]

The music itself can dictate the energy it's trying to give. There can be songs at 100BPM with more party "energy" than songs at 128, but were produced to be more chill (future bass vs beach house for example). So the songs give off their own energy, but effects can accentuate that even further.

[@JoshWhiton]

@@djcarlo thanks, I believe you. So unintuitive at first though. Might be a great topic for you to expound upon in a video, professor. So how are you typically managing bpm’s? Are you adjusting the song tempos to all match the first song? Or are you transitioning to other songs with other bpm’s during your sets?

[@kcraedelima2737]

Sir pa review ng pioneer we go3. Thank you and more blessings to come..

[@djcarlo]

Oh man, I don't have one! Sorry!

[@kcraedelima2737]

No probs idol

[@evilsohn]

Hoo boy - when the video started and you began talking about mixing in key I thought, hm... this looks like it will be a repeat lesson for me, but then you mentioned Energy Boost Mixing and I'm all pumped about experimenting with that 🎹 - definitly going to try that on my stream tonight 💜 you're advertisment of mixed in key 10 has me almost convinced - especially after the lesson on Energy Level mixing, given the fact that mik10 does that for you. Guess I'll have to try the software out one any day now... wonder how well it will work with Synthwave 🤔 Overall a very insightful video but for me personally moreso since after being introduced to the world of mixing in key by a previous video, I felt like my sets improved so much due to it, and to see the world of keys open up more to me now 🤯

[@djcarlo]

Glad you stayed till the end bud! And dang, tbh, it should work well with Synthwave given the electronic aspect of it. Would definitely wanna hear how that goes!

[@adrianeusebio731]

I'mma SpongeBob fan and DJ Carlo Atendido fan. The intro is damn good

[@djcarlo]

LeedleLeedleLeedle or, my favorite: OH MY GOSH! A FLOATING SHOPPING LIST!

[@djendo]

Can you make mix on harder Musik like hardcore hardstyle uk hardcore

[@djcarlo]

This is honestly out of my usual genres. These genres don't get much play in The Philippines, so I don't keep these songs on hand and have minimal exposure to them We'll see what the future brings though!

[@djrankingizzoh]

Sorry my question might be off this topic anyway I downloaded some some songs, loaded them scratch live analyses them but they didn't show BPM's what might be the problem, thanks

[@djcarlo]

There's a chance that Scratch Live can't get a lock on the beat grid, or the song is over 15 minutes long. If it's a really long disco track for example, the live drums usually go off beat. You'll need to tap the BPM manually for that. Also, you may wanna consider upgrading to Serato DJ Pro.

[@DamienCross66]

Very good tips but only getting $6 off is not a huge discount. Were you talking about buying the whole DJ Software Collection to get a huge discount?

[@djcarlo]

They've still earn their keep bud! Any discount is a discount still if you ask me!

[@santoshsardeshpande4514]

Can you please show how to use “spiral” on rekordbox.. also.. selecting different audio fx (ddj400) requires changing those only on 1st tab on deck 1.. cant we acceess tab 2,3 or fx on deck 2 through controller? Thanks!

[@djcarlo]

I'll try working that out into a future video bud!

[@fingerfen]

When saying "Playing a bootleg 10-15 minutes" what do you mean by that? What is a bootleg?

[@travismoore4816]

A bootleg in this case is a song that has been unofficially remixed by someone. He’s basically saying play an interesting remix every 10-15 minutes.

[@fingerfen]

@@travismoore4816 Oh right! Which means it wouldn't be available on bpmsupreme or anything of the sort. Got it! Thanks a lot for the help!

[@djcarlo]

Yup yup! Bootlegs keep the mixes interesting, and your audience on their toes. Also, there's a bunch of mash ups on BPM Supreme too! Just gotta look for where they're hiding!

[@DJPeterLo]

These captions are always so funny. :)

[@djcarlo]

Hahahaha, glad you take time to check 'em out!

[@DanielWalker.]

🎹 Good grief, that was a lot of information! Question about DJing live. When I did my first gig, the speakers were pretty far away from me so there was about a 1 second delay between my headphones and the live sound. This was frustrating because for every transition, I had to put on my headphones to made the transitions actually work. Is this normal? 😕

[@djcarlo]

Dang, how far were the speakers? Even in a large club, there shouldn't be a delay in the speakers from your audio output. Something may be wrong with the venue's set up. As a workaround though, yes, I did have to DJ exclusively in my headphones before with venues that had a similar problem. But, that delay is NOT normal!

[@DanielWalker.]

@@djcarlo It was very spread out because I was DJing in front of some dodgeball courts and they had one speaker around each court

[@iancowley_DJ]

Yeh thats pretty normal. Club/bar owners dont know or care about setting up a perfect DJ set up. I've played a few bars and even a DJ competition with no monitors in the DJ booth and delays/echos. DJ competition, I couldn't believe it. My set was wrecked, you cant scratch without monitors. I had to do the most basic things and mix all in my headphones
