9 Huge LIES about DJing Nobody Talks About

[@DJDarkSeraph]

I can confirm all these lies are true, i have been playing over 10 years and still get nervous.

[@TheDJConnect]

Let's gooooooo brother !!!!!! One of my fav stories is (I forget the celeb) But they had a breakdown before performing live One said, my palms start sweating, I'm shaking and than i break down and can't face the crowd and cancelled my concert Another said, "my palms start sweating, I'm shaking and than i break down and can't face the crowd This is when I KNOW I'm ready "

[@angeloamoojee2112]

I've been DJing for about two years. I'm just a hobby DJ because I love my Job, and I'll never leave it. But I love DJing, and learning how to scratch was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

[@TheDJConnect]

Oh ya man It's not easy But it can be, You gotta look at it like a game I think

[@djtayzer]

Ive been djying for 8 months. Im currently picking up on scrarching and with some more focus i think i can improve even better with the other ones. I see it as technique and u just got to get use to it like any other sport. Some djs say it took them 2 years to get it.

[@TheDJConnect]

@djtayzer ya im around the 2 year mark of hard practice Getting there

[@Keyz2ThaC1ty]

Thats facts ..the best dj's where I'm from still gotta wake up at 530 to to keep the city clean

[@TheDJConnect]

Ya man !!! It's really hard to do this full time Salute the man's for me !! DJs are some of the hardest working people I know

[@roymoxley2587]

25 years of djing started off using technics 1200 and records and then cds players , then controllers used it all before I stoped but I still have gear and still practice 😂

[@TheDJConnect]

Hahahaha a TRUE OG

[@shabbakhepra4423]

Its not just virtualdj users that use automix and its a misconception to think its used to dj for the dj, as well as that the sets in automix will be the same set of tracks over and over. Djay pro has settings where all u need to do is load a track and move the crossfader and djay will beat match and sync the 2 tracks. Vdj has nothing like this. Every dj software has automix... except serato... and i know this is a feature that even serato users ask for cause its a tool... like sync... its a petty argument in 2025.

[@TheDJConnect]

Lol all I was saying is the dude said that was ok behaviour Why you so mad about it

[@shabbakhepra4423]

@@TheDJConnect I'm really not mad about anything. Just saying that automix has it's uses and that it's really a default feature in dj software by todays standards and do come across as biased to some extent when u only mention 1 software as if it's the only 1 that has it.

[@TheDJConnect]

@shabbakhepra4423 I only use 1 software And theres only 1 other software that people choose to use at events

[@shabbakhepra4423]

@@TheDJConnect I can relate, but i take time to get familiar with them even tho they're not my preference or i may not use in a live setting unless i have to. In learning them this way i can be more informed on what they do offer. The same way we can appreciate diversity in music, we can learn and appreciate the diversity in different programs.

[@TheDJConnect]

@shabbakhepra4423 sexy red has absolutely nothing to offer the world and is actively degenerating the kids Anyone who produces music about fucking their baby daddy and gear it to children is disgusting

[@ClayRosa]

My guy! always bringing great knowledge to the table. please listen to him he knows what he is talking about. I started Dj 5 years ago I found this channel 4 years ago and he's helped me grow as a DJ. Since then i have Dj over 40 parties/events and I am still going strong. I appreciate you. DO your research watch videos and learn the basics etc.. get to know that controller the same way you would get to know someone you are hooking up with lol.

[@TheDJConnect]

Brooooo !!!! My guy !!!!!! This is crazy !!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this story Really makes me feel like it's worth it doing all this work It can get boring and tiring, and with a kid it's really hard now, but seeing a post like this makes it soooo worth it Thank you bro and I'm so happy to hear about your success GO CRUSH IT 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ClayRosa]

@@TheDJConnect anytime my guy keep dropping dimes and keep doing your thing. I have kids too so I totally get it lol god bless

[@bboymac84]

With DJing you need a style and character 1st. Don’t collect music you don’t like

[@TheDJConnect]

This is solid advice

[@easyclean21]

Super video bro keep it up

[@TheDJConnect]

🔥🔥🔥🔥☝️ respect brother

[@DJGaryP]

Been doing this 3 years and almost quit last year cause the clients sucked so bad hopefully this year is better

[@bboymac84]

You need to repeat to get better and gain interest to get curious for newer mixes

[@periferal1]

Just a pro tip to new DJs... You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money the goal. The money will eventually find you thru your skill via social media, referrals, Mixcloud, Soundcloud, Twitch, YT etc.... Be undeniable!

[@TheDJConnect]

Yeah man I agree. Passion is key

[@bboymac84]

Producing music is the biggest way to make money in DJing

[@TheDJConnect]

Also the hardest and least chance of success

[@bboymac84]

@ I’ll go for it! I like slim chances💪🏽

[@MrDJMikieMike]

First and foremost the person that wants to become a DJ should pick what type of DJ they want to be, Club DJ, Mobile DJ such as a Wedding DJ, Grad Party or Private Parties.

[@TheDJConnect]

💯💯💯💯 there's a million paths Knowing what you want is a key

[@MrDJMikieMike]

I Big Question why are you coming down on VDJ? The BIGGEST Lie you are telling is SERATO is the BEST SOFTWARE..

[@shabbakhepra4423]

Lol.. that's what serato fanboys do

[@TheDJConnect]

Lol I'm not coming down on it ? Mainly because those are the comments I get over and over It's annoying Anyone can use anything they want That doesn't affect me at all

[@TheDJConnect]

💯

[@MrDJMikieMike]

@@TheDJConnect it sure seems like you are plus there’s Rekord Box, DEE Jay Pro.

[@TheDJConnect]

@MrDJMikieMike I just have a few trolls who come at me in every video In reality I couldn't care less about what anybody uses

[@MrDJMikieMike]

Dude true and passionate dj must need to know how to program music and read the crowd. Automix has nothing to do with crashing.

[@TheDJConnect]

You got it man, gotta learn the fundamentals first.

[@milesbmorton]

When you start dissing hip hop like you can’t play other songs I’m out. 7:09

[@TheDJConnect]

That's what you play at the club New hip hop I assume you're out of a job too

[@milesbmorton]

@ you can play new hip hop. You can even play certain styles of hip hop. Not to mention there’s more than just clubs. Making your own events and playing music you and the crowd vibe with. Saying all hip hop now is negative just shows lack discography for the genre.

[@TheDJConnect]

@milesbmorton I'm a wedding dj, playing at the club is embarrassing to me anymore But it's my hometown and I'm helping out while they find someone for some pretty solid cash I think new hip hop like ice spice and glorilla is absolute garbage, But that's the format.

[@greatness3928]

Real djs hv passion, and started on vinyl, with turntables like myself 42 yrs. I know plenty of people who started and quit..

[@TheDJConnect]

Ya man 💯 . You either have it or you don't. You should see the comments I get all the time "8 minute video and he's only talking, teach the effing djing and shut up" These guys will never get anywhere in life I've been djing 20 years and still just learning how

[@Keyz2ThaC1ty]

Not always true, I started on a neighbors PC with a mouse... I still love what I do n I'm gone keep pushing til I'm getting paid

[@Keyz2ThaC1ty]

The 1st gig I ever did I bombed because I had just moved back to Louisiana n I didn't didnt know about the local music they were into...and now they are only into the local southern soul music n i don't care for it but I'll spin it

[@TheDJConnect]

Bro !!! This is a real ass story right here I'm.sure you're still working and getting paid more than ever We all bomb, but all you gotta do is get back on the horse, Do a little prep work, And keep on spinning Whether we like it or not, our job is to provide joy to other people who love that

[@RC-sm7hi]

👋Hi 👋 Hope all is well with you and your family.... Great video 📹. I do have a question? You said that with mid range gears & higher it comes with serato pro for free which is true, & that you never payed to have serato pro? My question is don't you need to have serato pro to be able to use club gear (cdj 3000's) i know rekordbox you can use a usb stick, can it be done with serato also to use the çdj's. I've never used them but would like to learn in the near future since i use serato. Thanks.

[@TheDJConnect]

I don't THINK so, I would have to do a little research, But normally it will be the mixer, what mixer is there ? Almost all pro mixers unlock serato, it they have 3000s I'm sure the mixer is legit But you will need the serato club kit It's a plugin unfortunately you will have to pay for

[@TheDJConnect]

Dvs plugin I think it's called

[@RC-sm7hi]

Yes, that's correct..... That's what I heard but wanted to make sure. So, unfortunately then you would have to pay for serato pro in order to use the club gear equipment. Even though there mixer pioneer v10 (i think) may have free serato but you don't have access to it since it's not your mixer🤷‍♂️. I'm guessing. Thanks for the reply. 😁

[@TheDJConnect]

@RC-sm7hi lol Are you not plugging into the mixer ? To use the cdjs, you will need to plug into the mixer to use them ? Or am I not understanding correctly

[@TheDJConnect]

@@RC-sm7hi the v10 is serato enabled But you will need the club kit Just Google pioneer v10 and hit the serato link

At least I'm not a basement DJ playing my favorite songs to my mom I guess

[@cutsupremenumba1]

First off not using real turntables is ur first mistake second. Theres real hiphop out here new underground boom bap thats way better than commercial crap. Not all hiphop is crap u gotta expand ur knowledge. I have been a dj since 1980 and i am very succesful in the business

[@chadnliz2k11]

You're over exaggerating music theory.

[@TheDJConnect]

Whatever you say I'm gonna assume you use vdj on auto mix ?

[@chadnliz2k11]

@TheDJConnect Oh, so you're fragile lol My bad

[@TheDJConnect]

@chadnliz2k11 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MrDJMikieMike]

I use to be a Serato user but made the switch to VDJ after about 2 years of DJING. I would put VDJ up against Serato any day of the week. I’ve been in the world of DJing for over 20 years. The Automix is an emergency kit for a dj if he or she has to head to the bathroom and that’s about it.

[@TheDJConnect]

@@MrDJMikieMike I see DJs who use it and do nothing all night Hopefully that's all

[@michaelmula6841]

Whyyyyyy are you playing music you don't like

[@TheDJConnect]

That's what they pay me for

[@periferal1]

Most DJs who make a living off DJing don't play music they necessarily like.....Whether it's a club, a wedding, or birthday party...you are playing to what the crowd likes, not you. I'm 20 yrs deep, a lot of the genres I hated back in the day I've grown to appreciate. Even with new shit I continually try to grow and eventually" like" it if it works... Because it's a tool to make ppl dance and vibe out.

[@michaelmula6841]

@@TheDJConnect I'm not djing for anybody where I don't like the music...just me

[@keithdodd3570]

Talking about hip hop. I've been djing for over 25 yrs. I feel if you don't like the music. Then don't fake it. Let a real hip hop dj spin. You sound like a Culture Vulture. We didn't get any coaching. We learned growing up in the neighborhood. Coaching what a joke. Peace.

[@TheDJConnect]

[@keithdodd3570]

I only check out djs who are true to the music they play. You're not. In hip hop, we say, " You are all front and no back. Wow ! Laughing at you.

[@TheDJConnect]

@keithdodd3570 you think sexy Redd makes good music ?

[@keithdodd3570]

@TheDJConnect okay, let's talk like men and fathers. I have grown kids. I've been in hip-hop a long time. Is Ozzy Osburne bad for kids back in the day ? Biting bat heads off. Lol It's how you are raised, and you know that she Sexxy Redd is an entertainer. Will say anything and all to get sells. I understand you've outgrown that type of hip hop, and I appreciate you for that. I think you're a great dj. No disrespect, my brother.

[@TheDJConnect]

@@keithdodd3570 Shes not entertaining, her music is garbage, all she talks about is fucking her baby dads and is directed to the children I was there for my neck my back, all of that shit, but at least it was good, This mumble rap is complete garbage and they are goverment plants, They have zero talent, cant make a song, put tory lanez in prison for lying, and is a democratic plant In my own opinion, There is PLENTY of good music out, sick rappers out right now, the Russ'es and stuff, but none of that is getting any play, The only way the songs chart right now is if the girl raps about getting her asshole ate out when shes on her period Its a little different now But again its just my opinion, and we are all allowed to have one! Ya bro never take any disrespect! I love the comment battles hahaha
