I feel like dj-ing is the art of subtlety, the best transitions are the ones you hardly notice with your ears

[@djcarlo]

Yes that is exactly it. The less you notice, the better the transition it is.

[@thelegendarykevininsales7589]

@@Cookie-Yeah09how does this work?

[@Cookie-Yeah09]

@@thelegendarykevininsales7589On most modern equipment you ll have a loop function on each deck , in sub divisions of 4 to 16 bars...master how to use it when in the mix..e.g at the end of a song, loop 4 bars of the beat while the other song is playing then you ll be locked in to the next track and it wont even sound like you mixed it . Master it to get better at on the fly and your mixes will be seamless and you can also get creative with it in many ways that you will discover along the way.

And for the veteran DJ’s the hunger to keep pushing themselves to keep up and create new skills. The value of all the things you do is precious for the DJ community. And wanted to react to a question you asked some time ago : what kind of genre for a new mixtape: JUMPSTYLE. This genre is from some time ago but absolutely 🔥. Would love to see what you could do with this genre. It has also a different structure than the normal ones. Not sure if it’s known genre over there. Would love to help you out if needed with some banger tracks, just ask. ✌🏻

Hi @Carlo - i think at 10:18 you have by mistake named the terms wrongly (they are interchanged). It should be Chorus ends and Build up begins Secondly, then how this technique (10:18) differs from 7:08, wherein it is same i.e. mix at when chorus ends

[@djcarlo]

Ack, yeah, that was a mistake on my end. Still! The message came across haha

[@star5guy]

Thanks Carlo. Please can u help me with query # 2. How does 10:18 timestamp mix differs from drop intro style at 7:08, aren't they same then. In both cases, our mix in is at the time of start of the drop

[@ranostanje2269]

All this is nice for a DJ studio and I understand you because it's a sponsorship. But the main thing is that you recognize at which moment you will mix because that is the charm of this job :D

[@michimichalski5359]

Fantastic tutorial, well explained, easy to understand and visually appealing.

[@djcarlo]

Thank you! All the factors I consider when I make these tutorials :D

[@AjarAvicii]

my most preferred way of mixing (i dont think it was mentioned in the video?) is to start track two when track one is halfway through its drop. that way, the second part of the intro of track two is playing while the first part of track one is being mixed out. similar to chorus mixing, but you start track two 8 bars later (this works very well for progressive house, bass house, and other mainstage genres, since they usually have a buildup during the second part of their intro)

[@djcarlo]

That works too! It's a little tighter for newer DJs, so it might rattle those still getting their sea legs, but thats a pretty exciting and energetic method as well! 🥳

[@AjarAvicii]

oh yeah, being a bit advanced is probably true. i did learn one new thing however. i did not know what a prhase was until watching the video, so thanks for that

[@Stregnance]

Tha Dj Teacher. Dj Nick Yes you are correct about 4 to 8 to 16 beats. A lot of DJs Doesn’t know that the first vocal starts only on an Odd Number. Example beat 1 , 3, 5 ,7 9 11, Beat number one is an odd number. So after the 4 th beat. The vocals starts. Vocals starts on odd beats. That’s why so many DJs that we all think they are dancing offbeat. They are most likely thee best DJs in time.

[@djcarlo]

Who's DJ Nick? Hahaha, but yes, many folks don't understand the nuances of counting, which is really important!

[@Stregnance]

@@djcarlo Hahaha. Everyone always saying 4 bars And 16. And the bars. Yes. For Getting the mix tight. Try mixing a deep house track. That’ starts off with an off beat Vocal.

[@rockstar2790]

Carlo, I have a question. At 9:20 you have the visual aid with "UP 1" and "UP 3" but they are different lenghts. You correctly mix it at the correct point, but how would you know this? You could count the bars on track 2 to know how long that phrase is, but how do you know it for track 1? Because the track is playing you cant do anything. Right now my solution for this is that Im using cue points as visual help with names how long the phrase is. for example, I make a cue point and then name it "INT 8B" so i know its 8bars. But I was wondering if there is a trick or method of doing this? Thank you for all your videos

[@djcarlo]

Using Cue Points is a good alternative. I use Cue Points too :)

[@trublho]

10:18 Are the signs wrong？Should be “Current Song - Chorus Ends” "Next Song - Build up Begins"

I'm gonna throw this one other perspective if it helps anyone. If you really can't figure out the beat, take up dancing - even if just for a little. This comes from a trained dancer who within a week of learning to DJing was transitioning on beat 100% of the time.

[@djcarlo]

It does help! In fact, as long as you have a rhythmic background (playing an instrument, theater, dancing, etc), DJing will be easy as pie for you. 🥳

Hey, I decided for my own mixing strateg. (I am mixing hardtechno) to set 4 hotcues on every track 1. Intro/ 16 Bars before the first breakdown 2. Drop 1/ 16 Bars before the end of the first Drop 3. Drop 2/ 16 Bars before the end of the second/last Drop 4. Outro/ 16 Bars before the Track ends Do you think this is a valid method? And ps. Are your videos even recommended for mixing techno? I think they are helpful :)

[@djcarlo]

The videos are pretty general with music, and the way you want to cue point your music is very much up to you, depending on what you need with the guides and whatnot! What you're doing is completely valid, and I'd say is a pretty good way to map out your techno tracks! 🥳

Hi there I have followed your video to activate the viewable phases but mine do not show on my rekordbox - I have the latest software... any tips here?

[@djcarlo]

Have you analyzed all the tracks? Usually, that should do it 🥳

[@djlucydean]

@@djcarlo ah great thank you so much!! issue solved :)))))

[@DjRiderDnBDragon]

drop mixing is my way or let the track run to the next drop and bring it in from there i like to start any track let it run to 32 and start the mix so you got about a minute to 60 seconds of the track playing to the people i am also old skool good tips mate

[@djcarlo]

Amen to that! Thanks for better explaining things!

Your content has made it much easier to learn as a beginner DJ. Thank you for all the tips, tricks and patience! The visuals are insanely helpful. I look forward to continue learning through your videos!

[@djcarlo]

Thank you so much EDC! Really appreciate that! Hope you've learned a lot from these videos and the ones I'll be posting in the future!

[@hugog.2297]

Hey Mate, do have list of the tracks that used cause they are pretty amazing

[@djcarlo]

I believe some of these are on my Sellfy pages from other videos. But otherwise, I encourage you to use your favorite tracks when practicing with these techniques :)

At 18.15 on the video, you mentioned the traffic light feature. I have Serato, does it have a similar feature? Thanks

[@djcarlo]

Good question. Not yet, but maybe in the future. Pioneer DJ and Serato may become one afterall ;)

[@keithchegwin1222]

@@djcarlo I hope they make this feature, it would make things a lot easier

Strictly speaking, a beat is a passage of time in a song. It’s not necessarily a kick sound. Some songs don’t have kicks but still have beats.

[@djcarlo]

While you're absolutely correct, I made this with DJs in mind, and most songs made to be DJ'd with will have beats. I had to make it as beginner DJ friendly as possible haha. Going into the semantics of pure music theory is above even my own realm 😅

@@djcarlo that’s right. Thank you.
