I started DJ'ing ten years ago. This was the first mixing tutorial I watched. Still watching and sharing it for reference !

[@joeywaaa]

After learning to DJ almost a year ago now I watched this video for some tips. Now I'm watching this a year on and I actually completely understand whats going on now, cheers

[@xenofyl1]

Same here!!!!!

[@bisus]

Same too, feels good !

[@AircraftTheReactor]

joeywaaa do you like Donald trump

[@Evolmusicinc]

joeywaaa agreed

[@arando4359]

AircraftTheCurator Hamm and that matters why?

[@bobcatgoldwait]

This KILLS the experience of seeing a DJ who could literally just pick tracks based on the mood of the crowd and flow for hours and hours. If you are relying too much on cue points you begin to do the same things w/ the same tracks, it's taking the JAZZ out of DJing. MORE IMPORTANTLY, these transitions could easily be programmed into software. When everything is already locked into warp marked music w/ loops set, the button mashing is basically just for fun/show.

[@Fre3flyOfficial]

Great stuff!

[@kamitree]

This was way cool, you don't often find djs talking about actually techniques, thanks so much for making this video and putting in all the different camera angles so we could really see what's going on. please make more

[@mata456]

[@HSSFineart]

Perhaps the best video on this subject on KZbin. Very well explained and easy to adopt. Awesome transitions there big ups blud.

[@djherlockandfriends9973]

That last one was so fun! Thanks!

[@oculairus]

that's the joy of videos, with the pause and replay n whatnot. it's being able to infinitely ask "wait...do what again?"

[@rhadiem]

as always, great video man. thanks for always doing quality work.

[@AlPlatino]

Awesome !!! Cheers from Brazil.!

[@akustiktrax5186]

I am sure some of you think this is way too easy with today's technology, but for beginners like me with ear problems this helps a lot. I don't have to push my ears as much and make them suffer. Thanks for the video tutorial.

[@Batzenlurch]

[@78beast]

[@maxavery244]

great vid

[@mhtpk1989]

all of this guy's videos are awesome end of discussion i have spoken.

[@thefreewave]

nice video, always good to see some basic dj knowledge so well demostrated in a youtube video. technique 5 isn't exactly a regular basic techninque but that's pretty awesome use for a digital setup and one that i'm sure we'll be seeing more of being used.

[@TomPor85]

great video!!! all your videos are very helpful! can you please upload some more Transitions videos?

[@HiroClownstep]

man this video is beeeerrrokkeeennnn!!!!!!

[@philipanderson3598]

awesome!!!

[@StigFostervold]

@ONEyeMarco I've got to agree with your post. Watching Ean's videos even have turned me towards the thought of playing small live-sets as a hobby-DJ, and given me a lot of ideas towards controllerism-performing a lot of my own music as well. So as you said; Thanks Ean Golden.

[@rhymes116]

very informative video..thanks

[@msmiggles]

This is great stuff! I just got Traktor with my Numark Mixdeck and am wanting to get more skilled at transitions. So helpful!

[@rodneypragasan]

Thank you, that was very helpful. Please keep doing videos they are much appreciated, ignore childish comments.

[@darranhanlon8709]

Still confused about what actually happened Here

[@scoupefreeman]

The beats are too similar!

[@marleycarroll]

Fantastic man. I just got a sponsorship with NI so I have to learn all of these techniques in a snap... "basic" things become difficult when it's a whole new hardware / software package! Thanks Ean!

[@michaelminnie1111]

Nice tutorial. Thanks,

[@gyroe]

super duper ill! Thank you for sharing!

[@ticketdance]

thanks Im just learn to dj this has been very helpful

[@NOTMuzzaFuzza]

the last transition was perfectly perfect... quite challenging to do though but really great!!!!! 5stars dude!!

[@Sirch100precent]

Ean.. you've really helped inspire me with your midi djing. i think i'm the only dj in my city using a controller and i'm starting to see how much more creative i can be with it. you have converted me to controllerism :) thanks for all the videos.

[@msmiggles]

Just got Numark Mixdeck and Traktor LE.. your tips are sooo helpful! Bookmarked your vids! As a mobile DJ, pretty much everything I need to know as an into! Think I need to upgrade to Pro tho, and need to figure out Mixdeck as controller.

[@TelliePebble]

thx man, this was useful!

[@RKHxProduction]

Thanks soooo much man, extremely helpfuL!

[@KrasavkinRomanE]

Golden ) super.Thank you .Peace.

[@wubi2]

Cool!!! Love u chanel. Russia

[@XaXtXa]

Bravo~! The last one was fantastic, really liked that resonant echo, seemed like a sawtooth with a heavy reverb. \,,/

[@howard18plus]

Super!

[@Jinouney]

Amazing tutorial guy thx

[@sebby868]

thanks!

[@Kaizzer]

Very simple yet useful ;-)

[@AntonSherar]

Ean, you're the best

[@rhettskiegreen]

I'm not even a DJ... Why am I​ watching this?

[@reeyanholbrook6279]

For fun and relaxing times.... Enjoy Santori

[@mikemg4554]

I wish I could do such epic things like that! :O

[@PeterRatcliffe]

Cool bro

[@TheWaynelds]

I do hiphop and have instrumental versions of each track i have. I scratch drop all my tracks in as well. When the 1st hook hits on the active song, i throw in the instrumental version of the next song and let it play until the end of the 2nd hook, then while just the instrumental is playing, i get the version with words and scratch over it for a couple measures before i drop it in. This is a good setup for doing double copy tricks like looping, stuttering and beat juggling during the set.

[@Maxximofficial]

thanks))

[@Yousefs_world]

Finally. A professional DJ who KNOWS how to explain. Screw Expert Village ;)

[@HALFAMAZINGTV]

you are so right!

[@manishshetty2314]

The last one was🔥

[@fabidj]

@eangolden thancks man for all the video tutorial :)

[@kjtham8394]

Thanks!!!!

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

nice video for those beginners

[@NakEdits]

@BBBDubb Do it man!

[@TK1129]

Hey Ean, great video as always. You should do a video on how to hook up with your traktor and controller during another DJ using serato.

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

Nice I use all of these techniques, but have never tried the echo freeze. That sounded pretty sick.

[@CarlocoxLV]

Great...

[@chemsoughzl7244]

The Last one was awesome

[@smokejc]

oh, nice!

[@missquade4195]

the last one is hot!

[@manonesweet9437]

Nice

[@savsci87]

@djlastlaugh if you're using traktor and you have bpmed the track you can move forward and backwards by however many bars at a time by using the MOVE mode of the advanced deck controls (the down arrow under the loop bar, where you set cues and grids)

[@ProudDutchDJ]

I'm using #2, #3 and #4 the most :)

[@NewLamarBazaar]

this looks incredibly fun.. im just trying to do it on a recorded project. but this looks incredibly fun

[@HybOj]

bah, my head hurts from those loops and shit, gimme a two good turntables & 2 chanel mix is all I need :)

[@rsjokes]

I've been doing Chorus blend FOREVER where I take an 8 bar intro loop of the new track and SLOWLY (probably about a 3 minute transition) transition over

[@tierss]

even my grandmother is able to mix with traktor... this tutorial is for unimaginative!

[@Evolmusicinc]

dope

[@damianmandich8723]

Should have used the FIRST version of Traktor. That is how I learned all this just by PLAYING with it. On the other hand, learned everything by myself. Making scores in FL and patching in Reason. Those were the days :)

[@yogurtpuke]

Im not a professional dj yet but i think im watching the right guy

[@misledyouth91]

some do some don't, depends on the dj . some people like armin like to feel out the crowd and play what comes from that, others prefer routines which is nice when you have marked your mix points and cues

[@VOX702]

cool belt bro

[@nakamori123]

COOOOOLLL!!!!!!

[@Nolimits2MasterOff]

last one is very creative

[@sstein941]

ean, you really got your very own style of mixing I think ... but I kinda like it ^^
