Crossfader l use the hot cue all the time because I'm only good at using the hot cue, I'm only a beginner do you have beginner Dj courses for rekordbox

[@benhardwick3712]

Great video guys

[@coryswanson2247]

Nothing I love more than someone pronouncing epitome as EPIH-TOHM

[@johnnyvalentineshbaz633]

😂

[@x7Degreesx]

I am always blown away by how good this all sounds. And you really know how to explain what you do

[@cosmicpuma1409]

Awesome tutorial. Really helped me add something new. I was hot cue jumping and got bored.... but the rhythm and melodies section was the best!! Thanks so much!

[@mrmeza78]

Been DJing for 20 years. Took a break for family life. Now wanting to get back in for fun. Preordered for the Prime 4. So in the meantime this is a great way to learn how to DJ like the rest of the Millennials. I am putty In your hands.

[@simonalouisa44]

Omg, I managed to replicate all the Epitome of Hype/Turn Around part of the tutorial. Bit clumsy, but..! Thankyou so much Jamie. Your teaching is so clear :)

[@leetaylor7769]

one of the best tutorial I have ever watched

[@zoltanszunyogh129]

Wow, this is the best tutorial I have seen so far, and exactly what I need. Thanks Jamie

[@MrJFunkSanchez]

Like this tutorial, simple and easy to follow to recreate with other tracks. Keep up the good work!

[@gavinhenry6686]

Excellent tutorial, feel like I've come away with so much more knowledge than expected

[@kashpatel2925]

[@DJBRIVE]

Now the question is... WHERE??? :P

[@j-new6278]

I can appreciate that, lol

[@j-new6278]

I can appreciate that, lol

[@Jollyrancher7]

The best dj instructor on youtube!

[@SULTANRS]

I don’t usually mix in key but when it comes to live mashups and hot cue playing i prefer key syncing

[@ADMdj]

This is a decent technique I’ve had incorporated for a while now starting to manipulate sounds with my hand on the platter the possibilities really are endless you could scratch in a nice heavy bassline project it into the background of the other track with subtle touches sharp clean cuts, then there’s endless creativity cutting in hats or beats, other instruments. This is a great video wish there was more advanced like it around. Cheers💯

[@teet3293]

13:58 - I haven't used Serato in a while but from memory, if the track is already playing, hitting a hot cue button or key once and taking your finger off would start the track playing from the cue point and keep playing, whereas if the track was stationary to begin with you would have to keep your finger on the cue button/key to keep the track playing from the cue point.

[@LucIndustries]

Odd choice but makes sense if you wanna do it kind of oldschool where you just have samples and one shots comming in over an entire deck. You know similar to those vinyls that just contain like 50 music and vocal loops

[@djtweezy06]

Is there a way in serato to change that. Just like the video I want to have my hot cue start the track and continue to play when I release the button

[@jonnynava2213]

I have the sx2 and if the track its already playing and press a hot cue the track keeps playing the hot cue but if the track its pause or not playing and you press the hot cue it will only play the track as long as you keep pressing the hot cue onnce you let go it will go back where the hot cue starts

[@yondergirl83]

U are the best! Big fan from Hungary🤜

[@thordenwalter7464]

same from Germany

[@sajedehjalali]

Thank you so much for this informative and explicit video I loved the final mix!

[@micmutil8r]

It's amazing to me that this page doesn't get more views, so much good information!!

[@69Beats]

Fast forward 1 year and it's one of the most viewed dj tutorials ever 🤓

[@juschu85]

14:16 Just obe more detail (yes, I'm picky). He's playing the track until the next 1. That just feels more natural and is a little bit easier. But it sounds more natural to only play it until the 4. The singer is breathing between the 4 and the next 1. You wouldn't breathe there if you wouldn't continue singing. So it would sound even more natural if you cut out with the crossfader on the 4.

[@as680783]

Good point!

[@DonLuca27]

Thanks for the tutorial, I've been doing this lately with Traktor's sampler, but instead of doing it with the crossfader I just set the samples as one-shot and gated so they only play while I'm holding down the assigned button, I feel like it's easier to stay in tempo and less work for your hands while performing that way.

[@craigparry282]

Top tips as usual and always well explained

[@BecauseGames]

worth having somewhere to go if you are doing this as part of a performance, don't get trapped in it, having more than 2 decks and preping a drop on your 3rd deck before performing a section like this is a good idea.

[@charlestreacher6430]

Have you a hot cue set up tutorial, great videos. So well explained!

[@TravisDcros]

Last tip on this video was amazing, it really opened a door for me even if it seems so basic!!

BRILLIANT VIDEO!! I will be returning to this a couple of times. So much useful info... so many good ideas...

[@iowsportscoaching8320]

Fantastic thank you for this step by step guide

[@rowegg]

Excellent tutorial. Very clearly laid out and demonstrated.

[@SteveAldous]

Good video, nice to some see creative djing being promoted. Creative djs stand out from the rest of the "usual" A-B mixers! At the end of the day companys such as pioneer, denon keep improving the hardware to enable djs to become creative! Keep up with the tutorials guys👍🔊👌

[@FailedSquare]

Really good video. it didnt feel rushed like a lot of these do

[@truobalanga6970]

really well explained. Thank you

[@djfunkyju]

appriciated, this one is good

[@la-shonarchibald1601]

Big facts!

[@jensheidemeyer5822]

on the Pioneer DJM s9 there was a cue loop button. Now im searching in rekordbox with the xdj xz the button. Goal is to loop a hot cue directly when pushing the button without preparing. Do you know where i can find this?

[@HR-nl2eo]

perfect tutorial

[@westybrook]

What a fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. So easy to follow, although you do make it look very easy. Look forward to more from you. Take care

[@PhillipKaingu]

I really love your setup.. could you please put up link to where I can get the hardware you are using.

[@suzuka8235]

It's a DDJ1000 with Reckordbox

[@BillyHeany]

What do you have on the "B" hotque? Is it a loop? How is that done? @ 22:00 min mark

[@Capt_McNugget]

Awesome dude just got a ddj sb2 so hopefully I can apply this..great job

[@folacoool]

good stuff...hey i'm working on some special songs that requires more than 8-cuepoint and i've already got the hotcue-16 extension but i'm using DJC INP. 300 with 8 cuepoints buttons one each deack, how can i use it's 8 buttons for hotcue-16 extension? Thanks in advance.

[@katrinaviolethamilton5604]

You are so helpful! Thank you for your time to post these tips for beginners!! You explain everything in detail but without all the extra conversation that confuses people, lol thank you dj crossfader!!!!

[@MuazALhilal]

i learned a lot from this video , thank you

[@DjAhmetDemirağ01]

Hello, I am using xdj xz. How can I stop the music from starting when I press the hot cue?

[@jurgenpotzkotenaka.johnnyf5214]

Really enjoying your vids. Please keep up with the good work!

[@XTremeDeejayPC]

Great Tutorial m8! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

[@jayscsi]

In Serato you don't need to use the crossfader, just press and hold the hotcue releasing the hotcue when you want it to stop(when the track is not playing of course).

[@karlherbison3652]

Only found this now lol but cant find the two tunes on here, anyone got a link?

[@hillsmann1906]

Can you do tutorial with virtual Dj paired with ddj 800. . Thanks . the good n bad of of the combo

[@nickster3008]

Excellent

[@playmu5ic]

Gr8 video thanks... I’m new to CDj’s just picked up the 3000’s... Few Questions if anybody can help... 1. When I’m playing a track and I hit the outside button it make a studdering sounds like it’s skipping.. stops when I hit other cue button... 2. If I load a new track in the player with hot cues... wheni hit the hot cue button the cdj will jump back to the previous song and play the hot cues from that track... the new song disappears can’t figure that one out... 3. When I load a song into the cdj it starts playing automatically.. I tried to switch off that function but sometime it still does it.. Need help Thanks..

[@thomaskeaveny9820]

Hey, I use beatport link and rekordbox for all my music and can't find a software that will input cue points automatically (I've tried lexicon and Mixed in key neither of these work) does anyone know how I can do this? So I don't need to go through 100's of tracks and put memory cues in and hot cues.

[@llewelynparry7279]

so cool, keep it up

[@danquay9504]

Great video dude, I starting to love the hot cues and get creative with the tracks as this certainly helps create a live creative set smart

[@nicksoad494]

It was nice, thx! 😮

[@paragua79za]

This is sick

[@thepracticalhowtohomebrewman]

This is my favourite one of your KZbin videos I've watched so far 10/10

[@rosscoshell2591]

Good work. Note, I pronounce Epitome as Apitamee. 👍🎶

[@barts2717]

Thank you! Appreciate this!

[@djroyal414]

Awesome video!!! Keep it up 👍🏼

[@kamaj3959]

How make my hot cue play when I press my hot cue in Serato ?

[@christianjamesherbosa3487]

Thank you crossfader👍

[@funkyraff]

great video, thank you!

[@bkdb8491]

How do you visually record the rekordbox program at the top for your videos? Thanks!

[@DarkblueShade]

Most Likely Yeah, he does! Then he merges both by cropping...

[@ZillionPrey]

Easy, Record your dec via cam, desktop via obs for example and then just sync them

[@johalllp8961]

Amazinggg tutorial. Very well made 👍🏻

[@leoloza202]

Great video and info👌

[@Crossfader]

[@armanfomwest]

Excellent tutorial, please keep going on :)

[@gabrielncali8999]

Nice video! 👍👊

[@LordYendo]

such a good teacher

[@igordrm]

My DDJ-400 arrived 5 days ago, and I am currently working with the hot cues on my songs. Since the DDJ-400 has only 8 pads for recording hot cues and loops, I have been wondering if it is better to save just loops. Apparently it is more agile to disable the loop as soon as it is activated, than to add a loop over a hot cue the moment the pad is pressed. What do you guys think on this?

[@koutenshidatshu]

Ddj 1000 or 1000srt? In my country ddj 1000srt had more expensive 200bucks. What i should choose?

[@anuradhachandana2347]

Excellent t sir..brillient ..clear..gl

[@mohdarif-pd5mf]

What dj controller and in dj controller software is it in the your KZbin video title "hot cue play dj tutorial "?.

[@CeriGJames]

Really Cool Jamie...

[@MovieCaveDave]

I have a question and I have Asked All The DJ’s I know (6) and even Tweeted Serato & Pioneer, I have the SX2, but this is a Serato Question, I know about midi mapping BUT, I like to have my echo effect using 2 other effects, the shorter delay and I can’t Remember The other lol, anyways, Is there anyway to midi map all three effects as a preset on a button. Knob or pad.. I have to always keep going in and setting it up again manually everytime I start a mix, scratch or set.. PLEASE HELP.. It’s the only thing I can’t get right.. Cheers

[@anjuborgaonkar2506]

Can u tell me which controller ur using plzzz

[@Flo-wr8oh]

Very cool ! Thanks

[@didi615]

Do DJs set their Hot Cue before the performance or they can set it on the spot?

[@djrec0111]

It can be set on the spot if you get really good at listening for certain sound effects or notes. A lot of controllers let you tap out your que points while listening to a track.

[@LouieAblett]

Didi Kosasih normally before i export my trackslist i’ll make sure most of the tracks have cues or at least markers so if things get a bit crazy i have something to fall back on

[@WictorWhite]

Thank you, man! See you at UMF in the future))

[@simonalouisa44]

Thank you, that was brilliant :)

[@yoyo-qf1cm]

Thank you for explaining this part:-)

[@lepaul26]

Why not loop those samples and cut the from 4 beats to 2 beats to 1 beat ?

[@zaktaylor6233]
