The most common complaint I hear from people is that most DJs mix too aggresively and don't let each song play long enough. Constantly mixing tracks after just a few bars, using crazy transitions and drop swapping every track isn't necessary. The crowd is there for the music, not to watch you show off your DJ skills!

First thing I learned when I started playing out live. I went to DJ school and wanted to show off my skills and how amazing I was at mixing, tricks, etc. Because no one knew who I was no-one gave a shit. People just want tracks they can dance and sing to. Simpler DJing is the best way and then drop in a sick trick every 8 or so songs just so the people who ARE paying attention realise you're a pro.

#1 DJ mistake: not enjoying the night/gig. Whether you messed something up, you're nervous or you're not really feeling it for any reason. Remember to have fun, in the end its all about the vibe you put down.

As a hobby DJ doing a few house parties a year these are things I suggest: 1. If you've never DJed before, start with buying just a dj controller (like DDJ-400). If you already own any type of speakers, use those and find good quality sources to rip. This is to check if you truely like DJing or if it's just one of those sort term things you'll waste way too much money on. 2. If you like it, buy better speakers (preferably studio monitors). You can either upgrade your song quality by getting a subscription to a DJ pool, or you buy audio enhancing/analyzing software like Platinum Notes 4 and Mixed in Key (this is what I did). Remember to use good quality rip sources otherwise take a subscription. 3. If you enjoy DJing even more now and you want to try small parties/venues, decide whether you want to use the same speakers or upgrade to PA speakers (monitors are better for close range small groups and PA to really go LOUD!). I upgraded to a big PA and subwoofer combo for parties. I also bought a bluetooth adapter in case I don't want to DJ. Even if you're a bit of an audiophile like me, you'll never hear the difference between quality rips and the official sources unless you use insanely expensive speakers. A one-time purchase of audio enhancing software in combination with being able to rip anything on the internet was worth way more to me than getting a DJ pool subscription that does not include everything I search for. Best of luck😁

This is helpful. I'm getting back into DJing after a 10 year break. I was always frustratingly terrible at self promotion and social media, to the point where more than one girlfriend in my life insisted on taking it over for me, so there's a few takeaways for me in here. I did alright though. I was usually called upon for doing warm up sets for touring trance and prog house internationals and right now I'm getting called upon for vinyl only and classics nights, so I must be doing something right! I'm still working on other gigs though, I never wanted to be one of those DJs who only ever played tunes from their era. I always wanted to be moving forward.

Not reading the crowd I believe depends on the environment and party type. Obviously if you're a new DJ and taking gigs here and there you gotta know what type of environment or music genre club. But if you're well known or known to play a certain style. People will know and expect you to play what you preferred genre or known for.

I use a downloader to grab tracks for performing artists who do not have access to their own releases from time to time. To your point, audio files could sound bad if you do not use a downloader that provide the option to select the desired bitrate. Usually the desktop versions of these downloaders are more robust than web versions and provide that ability. After checking each file in a studio setting for sonic analysis, I can say the highest quality version of these downloads does not introduce any artifacts . In a live scenario, these same files add no noticeable degradation on professional sound systems that a fan or audiophile would hear. So I would not group all KZbin downloaders in one heap category of providing less than stellar quality. But I understand as an authoritative source, Crossfader would not want to engage in activities that could be misconstrued as endorsement of illegal procurement of copyrighted material. Cheers!

I've only been DJing as a hobbyist for a year and a half now, and I tend to not use sync unless I cannot get the exact bpm matched up with that of a different deck. It has to be a stupid kind of number though, like 125.13. I can manually get 125.09, or 124.98, but because I can't fine tune to get the exact figure, then I'll hit the sync button. Otherwise, it's manual. Manually adjusting the bpm is good practice in general, but I find that sync is always useful in a pinch and I think that's what it should be used for.

I’ve been practicing DJing for almost a month now I picked up my uncle’s old NS7 he got when I was a kid. Is it as fancy as the new Rane’s and Pioneers? No but I can still learn what sounds good together do I have to speed it up or down or maybe I can add a scratch in here to give some effect to the track.

Agree with everything you said but damn I hate song requests! The thing is that I don't have much of experience and my mixing skills are not very high, it's difficult for me to mix different genres on the fly, that's why I practice a lot before I go somewhere. I love house, techno, trance and all the subgenres but never rap, r'n'b and hip-hop, so I prepare a 2 hour set of house music, practice it, make it perfect and go to the party. When someone is asking me to put hip-hop song during my house party (you know people are different and their music tastes are different, even if they know it's a house party, there's always someone asking you to pull out some hip-hop song) first of all I don't have it in my library, because it's just not my kind of music, I'm not ready for it and I didn't practice it.... that's why I hate song requests. Usually I ask the security guy (or one of my friends, a big guy, because the bigger is better in this kinda situation) to stand next to me and keep me away from song requesters lol!)))

Well, if I may throw my hat in the ring here: After 20 years of DJing, I can say this. The software and hardware DO NOT make the entertainer. HOWEVER, those two examples are industry standard for a reason. They are reliable! With that said, anybody can learn to DJ with less expensive options and get great results. You just have to know your budget, the spec requirements and the musical knowledge to perform at it's peak.

I have mixed feelings about this video. For start, probably very few experienced DJs will watch such content, if they are a long time in this field, probably for the reason, probably they doing it right. Going forward, for new DJs it's kinda brutal to buy all the songs they play. It cost a lot. As a beginner DJ, you barely make any money from it at all. Also, as a beginner DJ, I still trying to my path, and what kind of music I would like to mix. Not everyone is able to afford that. I'm not encouraging piracy, as soon as you start making enough as a DJ, you need to buy the tracks you play- that's my motto. Also, yt rips can be good quality as well. Reading the crowd. This is probably so much important only for people who mix all that pop stuff, all the hits. I kinda strongly believe that for other genre music, this appeals is not that strong. Not saying that you can just focus on your controller, but if someone comes to a techno club, and you mix techno music, you need to have a really shitty taste to make your crowd upset about your choice of music. And last but not least, if you are a wedding DJ than yea probably you should pay attention to someone's requests, but if you play let's say jungle set in that kind of club and some random requests drake- you will upset your crowd that came for the jungle. Just stick to your music, and play what you love, because if you will do what you love to do, you will do it much better than you would do just because someone wants you to do so. Same story with any job. No offence, not even trying to be smart ass rude dude here, just sharing my own experience as a beginner in this field. And I totally agree with other tips in this video. I will film my next set :)

'KZbin rips can be good quality' - 100% incorrect. You cannot get a good youtube RIP, it's simply not possible and the fact you believe that means you don't know what you're talking about. KZbin already compresses the audio it uploads, so the high end and low end is cut. When you RIP it via a converter, no matter how 'high quality' the ripper says it is, it'll compress the audio even more. Ultimately this results in music with no sub bass and muddy high end. When played on a big system you won't have that thump and crispness from a high-quality track. If you're dj'ing at a friend's party on small speakers probably no one will notice that much, but as soon as you play on a tuned system people will notice. It's not a good look.

Got some good relevant points there, but I AM going to disagree with the good quality YT downloads. I have a small bunch (about twenty or so) of YT rips that are just 'ok' on a laptop, but when I tried pumping them through proper Monitors, they sounded absolutely shit. No question. Beginners can always try free trials from places like Beatport (and not least because they have a funky online controller thing going on too - so you can mix with previews and stuff, pretty neat), get ideas or new inspiration from Soundcloud and so on and so forth, there's loads of options and plenty to find out there if you go looking for it.

Great question - I was there at one point. The best advice, have an adult that you trust, whether a parent or guardian, help you find work. In order to make people take you seriously, you need serious representation AND enough content and work to showcase your talents. Go ahead and make sure you have a MINIMUM of 3 - 30 minute mixes that showcase your DJ talents. If you want more advice, go ahead and shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to give you some advice.

how do yall in the comments feel about KZbin rips? I dont understand how KZbin quality could possibly be lower than any other quality. Let me give some examples of what I’m talking about. if I download a deadmau5 song, it’s going to be perfect, in my mind. its already mixed, mastered, i am listening to the mp3 that deadmau5 signed off on to play at venues. Is this incorrect? Yes you have poor quality songs being uploaded by regular producers, but what does it being in youtube have to do with that, wouldnt it sound just as bad on beatport?

Sync dousnt always work. Watch the waveforms and by ear.

Watching waveforms is the biggest mistake you can make! Use your ears. If you really need visuals you can see the grooves on the record. Records are the best sound 🌈

I watched someone redline right in front of me because he didn't want to touch the house mixer. I questioned him on it and he said it will be fine

Not all songs are available on record pool or iTunes, some local African artists have their songs only on YT. Record pool works best only with western music. Djs from west or who mostly perform western musics don’t understand this. Thanks

Very informative content. Why would I waste my time aligning musical beat grids manually while there is a one tap Sync button on my Deck?
@JNueee
@JNueee Жыл бұрын
Because even though you use beat sync and your beat grid is on point, your songs will either be early or late, which also goes with timing as well. It's always good to beat match and learn since beat sync sometimes isn't reliable

I'm a new DJ looking for gigs, but for the love of god don't accept everything. Don't accept someone trying to be cheap for their wedding when you are new. Do you really want to screw up someone's wedding? Maybe if I knew them and they were super chill, no problem. I got asked to do 2 weddings and I said no. I got asked to do a birthday party but focused on mexican music. I don't listen to much of that. I listen more to colombian and cuban spanish music. So I further asked what she was looking for and I had to decline. I also got asked to DJ for kid's birthdays but I don't focus on acquiring clean versions of music Maybe I could learn and aquire more of that music, but beginning to DJ you still have to have some essence of comfortability and most importantly still HAVE FUN! Don't sell your soul just to get a gig, but be open minded and discuss any gig opportunity with the person if possible to see what they really want

Where can Arab DJs get high quality songs from? Is it acceptable if we download it in 320k format and not 128k?
@MrTypepatrick
@MrTypepatrick Жыл бұрын
320k is acceptable if comes from a quality original source and sounds good on high fidelity equipment.

Relying on sync. Pfft Just prep your tracks properly. Line up the beatgrids manually then you can call yourself DJ DoubleSync. 🤣🤣👍

What about platinum notes, it's worth it?
@officialJonDivine
@officialJonDivine Жыл бұрын
100%. Platinum notes will give you amazing results to keep your music library up to date. Using that, along with mixed in key, is a game changing combo that is going to amplify your entire libraries musical capalbilities. I'm actually thinking about doing a video on how vital both are.

Not knowing the difference between a 320 MP3 and A WAV... Highly disagree. On a high fidelity sound system you can absolutely tell a difference, especially with very low, bassy songs

No one cares. Wave and 320 kbps MP3 are both disgusting. Only use records. Vinyl is the best sound quality. Best bass. 🌈

​@Crossfader, i say that the best sound quality is the 12"vinyl maxi single. and as long as someone is not making tons of money as a dj, he/she gotta stick with what's already there. support the musician, dj, artists and producers instead manufacturers of the latest equipment.
