If you think he’s doing too much on the 2nd mix, that’s the point. He’s bombarding you with techniques to show you what’s possible, not to tell you what you should build up to doing.

[@djcarlo]

THANK YOU! Nailed it right there

[@Dee.J.Mogfry]

There is no wrong or right way to mix...saying pro and beginner isnt right....nowadays if you ain't smashing buttons you can't dj...hmm! Never seen Sasha mix like this and he's the master of his art!

[@cashvault1996]

What sounds good is good....that's the point.

[@indegruv]

yeah everyone should copy each other lol this culture is pathetic in 2023. not about the music only about the ego trip

[@Dee.J.Mogfry]

@indegruv Djs were always ugly back in the dayz...bar Dj Rap, but even she proved her worth.... Nowadays it's about looking good behind the decks and the music comes second... Everyone seems to be copying the James Hype style and if you ain't you're a nobody.... Richie Hawtin one one of the firsts with doing more than just mixing when using digital....but according to this video, even he isn't pro nowadays....I get and understand the newstyle style and new gen of mixing but to reiterate there is no wrong or right way of mixing...and it also depends on what style youre mixing....

[@damasterkarej]

I have my first party this saturday. I am somewhere between nowhere and beginner:D

[@angeld7689]

Just blend your tracks in. No chorus over chorus on tracks you'll do awesome

[@DanielMortensen]

DJs so easy dude it’s gonna click!! Learn song structure and it’s so automatic, mixing becomes second nature and then you can get creative with it

[@edubblesspirit]

I love that slip roll beat put together with the pads, that was sick

[@djcarlo]

Yezzir! Wanted to push that to see what it could do haha. Glad you like the end result!

[@ComatoseJedi]

It also depends on what kind of music you are mixing. All techniques don't work with every genre of music. I work in the techno genres (hard, psy-trance, etc). I find that too much in this, breaks the mix. But, hey, it works great with house type genres. Love your channel, Carlo.

[@djcarlo]

Different strokes for different folks essentially!

[@shashanksaxena2260]

That's what my gf told me too 😢

[@plugmeradio]

@djcarlo you are amazing I have been following you for a while I comment under my other page that's where I originally subscribed. I came on KZbin just now saw your short decided to comment under this post. I wish you were my instructor I need this so bad when I DJ it takes me to a feel good place that no one can it's an amazing feeling. I used to use turn tables many moons ago but my controller last year been practicing since

[@grantrobinson2727]

works great with EDM mainstream house where big aggressive drops are loved. Go techno. best genre ever no gimmicks.

[@djcarlo]

That's a genre I've yet to fully tackle!

[@fausto412]

@@djcarlo i want to see if all your techniques transfer over to latin genre. Most of the time latin dj's let the whole song play or they blend in the new song with minor effect or filter from what i seen.

[@tomtats2]

In my opinion the difference between beginner and pro dj has nothing to do with technical skills (which btw you can acquire in less than a few days). Everything is in first, the selection and then : feeling, crowd reading and adaptability. And that takes years to master 😉.

[@djcarlo]

That's fair! Any DJ who knows their stuff really puts thought into selection before anything else

[@mwihaki__]

Fammm when will I ever learn how to mix like that

[@djcarlo]

Just sheer will and practice will get you there!

The best DJ I ever saw left the buttons alone and was the best because he perfectly matched every beat on technic 1200s. and his song selection was second to none .

I did a tutorial some time ago on using Beat Slicer! Such a great feature!

[@fausto412]

Waiting on my hp envy pc to arrive. Torned between the ev etx 18sp and the qsc sub for the house and potential gigs in the future. Right now this is a hobby for me. I think the EV elx200 18sp may be too weak. I know the qsc brings the heat but haven't heard an etx model in person yet. Money I'm not spending on American women. Speakers will still be providing joy 20 years from now and cause me zero stress.

[@djcarlo]

Ohhhh, I'm excited for you Fausto!

[@fausto412]

@@djcarlo thanks. I received the qsc ks118 on Tuesday night. Couldn't get anyone to go pick it up so i called an uber xl and put it in the back of a toyota highlander for 25 bucks. Who needs friends? So far I'm happy but it feels like the qsc subwoofer isn't even being pushed by the flx4 signal. Is this where a mixer helps unlock power to get more out of your speakers? The hp envy laptop is amazing and has been running flawlessly for 2 weeks now. My tops are ev zlx 12bt speakers. Sound system sounds great. Why did i choose the qsc sub or the ev one? Because the EV one limits early. Sound was very similar but at the store the default qsc at unity was as loud as the EV at first limit. So in the name of space and headroom to push i got the QSC. Just that at home i can't seek to get the QSC to limit even with the gain maxed out. Is this something a mixer helps with? To get more out of your hardware?

Either I forget to press record on my controller 🤦🏾‍♀️ or my camera stopped when I finally get both guest what I screw up.

[@engpeter4899]

Thanks for all the suggestions, it’s a great learning experience! May I ask why you cut the current song’s low eq instead of swapping eq’s?

[@djcarlo]

It's more of a stylistic choice really, but I prefer cutting the lows so the bass frequencies don't clash. It's much more obvious when you're in clubs, and you hear the kick drum getting louder haha

[@djblack_eagle]

I do both depending on the situation.

[@djcarlo]

Always good to adjust to the environment!

[@LongboardPA55]

I don’t understand what you did with the second mix at all. The track you bring in looks like it’s not playing, but somehow turning the cfx knob and moving the fader did something… and the echo effect too but I know it could be set to the left track. Probably just missing something but very confused.
