Appreciate you man, and the continued support 🙏🏾💯

I appreciate this video brother!! 🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾

[@DJLiftOFF]

More than welcome 🙏🏾

[@daveb8795]

Your videos are great...thank you!! Tip: When using a cue point during juggles, don't hit the cue button until you have a hand on the platter. Eliminates the extra movement. I had to force myself to do this because it seems natural to hit the button then put a hand on the platter.

[@DJLiftOFF]

You’re welcome!! And great tip as well! Makes things A LOT easier.

[@Presbiter]

Juggling with cue points isnt really juggling in my eyes. Whats making junggling so great is back spinning the platters an hitting the right beat...when taking this out of the equation is taking away the magic

[@vicentolemukolemma]

Where are you from

[@Dnic84]

Good tutorial for beginners. The technology makes this easy for beginners. No more orange stickers on the vinyl 😂. But if you’ve been doing this on the vinyl it should propel us old school heads into god mode.

Hey Dj lift off can you do a video on setting up your computer latency etc. on a MacBook Pro. Please thanks.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yo Anthony. Are you using Serato DJ? You can actually change your latency in the settings within the software.

[@Tryall200]

Can you do a tutorial on the setting in Serato for DJ?

[@DJLiftOFF]

Definitely!

[@joiduarte736]

Hey liftoff 1 last thing n I won’t bother u for a while lol when u can can u just show us when n where exactly to drop in the next song (in serato)when mixing fr 1 song to the other mayb a class just showing when on the grid especially to let go nah mean.. I’m actually getting a lot better but that part is still f’in me up I be just a lil off thank u much love n respect ❤️

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yes!! I think you’re referring to phrasing and understanding how to count properly in order to drop the song at the right time. I actually started recording a video similar to that a while back, but I ended up scratching it. Need to revisit that! I’m also going to be dropping a livestream show soon too, so I might be able to show you live. We shall see. Stay tuned 🙏🏾

[@gordonfernandez9914]

Beat juggling is fun, but I'm on another level with that having so many years to master(52).

[@DJLiftOFF]

I’ve come a long way since this video, but I’m still no master ahah. 52 years, wow 🔥

[@patpending3925]

Quality! Inspired me to get some more practice hours in. What's the track used on the DJPuffy clip and your intro? Keep doing what you doing man! Thanks. P

[@DJLiftOFF]

[@DeeJay_IMB]

What's up lift off. Can you show your Rane MK 2 set up? I have the same thing, but while I'm practicing my record slides down the spindle and the record gets tighter and tighter. It gets to the point where I can't do a full backspin rotation. That and my marker slowly shifts, so by the time I'm on backspin 10 it's no longer where I started.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Yoo! I actually only have the originals 12s, wish I had MK2s tho. And mine actually do the same to an extent when I try and do a very long backspin. I’m assuming yours are slowing down too fast even on short back spins?

[@DJLiftOFF]

And hmm, that’s weird that the marker slowly shifts. Are you referring to right after you do the backspin?

[@DeeJay_IMB]

@@DJLiftOFF when I first start I bring the record to the top of the groove if that makes sense. I saw a video scratch bastid did. He suggested doing that if you want a longer smoother backspin. It works, but it’s temporary.

[@DeeJay_IMB]

@@DJLiftOFF I like to scratch with my marker at 1 o’clock. After a couple juggles 1 o’clock is no longer my start point. It’s more like 1:15. I doubt want to look at the screens, but it sound like I’m off because I start missing the one

[@jiggyblends]

That’s a Beautiful lesson, that’s what we had too master in the 80s for using break beats with the rappers and rap battles. No DJ edits back then. Awesome video

[@DJLiftOFF]

Appreciate you OG! And yeah, I’ve only seen videos and spoken with a few people who DJ’d pre 2000s and man, I don’t know how many would survive back then carrying vinyl around alone aha. Much respect always to the pioneers.

[@CJScratch]

this isn't beat juggling this is back spinning … your talking about looping bars its 4 bars not 4 beat juggles . back spinning is the basics of looping a break.. beat juggling is the manipulation of a song to create a new beat.

[@DJLiftOFF]

Tried to more so cover the basic fundamentals and planned to do various parts that got more in depth. Back spinning is obviously an important element but I agree - it’s definitely the manipulation to create something new.

[@ericsutton9853]

That’s. Not beat juggling, juggling is creating different sound off of kicks and snares. That’s just back spinning some what, because you are using the cue , but everybody doesn’t have those kind of mixers.

[@DJLiftOFF]

It’s more so re-creating a new beat or rhythm. The basics of beat juggling, however, requires these movements where you learn to back spin and drop sounds on beat. I originally planned to do various parts that built up to beat juggling but didn’t make it all the way thru. It’s pretty hard to teach. But DJ Angelo has some great beat juggling vids.

[@ericsutton9853]

@@DJLiftOFF ok maybe your title has experience DJs looking for your style although you are teaching maybe if you put step one, we wouldn’t look for something that’s not there. But I get it everyone isn’t advanced, people do need the basic .keep teaching.
