Bro that was fire for your 1st time i was really impressed....

[@aegisraven1284]

Lol 1st time

[@eximum3034]

dude the fact that that was your first time and you sounded that good? THATS AMAZINGGGG

[@Djucedsoftware]

Nice to see a producer understanding what's DJing is because of us! Good songs combination at the end of the video, I'm convinced that a producer can become a good DJ in a short time because he "knows" how the music works. Cheers!

[@itsrazing]

Does the DJUCED app exists on android i dont have a PC :(

[@Djucedsoftware]

@@itsrazing We have an App but not as good as the New DJUCED. We are more on the Computer side. (You can't use a 4 channels soundcard on Androïd... so not possible to have a preview for basic DJing...Maybe one Day...)

[@itsrazing]

@@Djucedsoftware thank you so much ε>

[@paula_hi]

only a 'he'? :D I just got your controller too and I am looking forward to use your software! 8)

[@SlotCar2021]

@DJUCED How can we get better control over the tempo faders? Is there an option in DJUCED? It is really hard to get to say 130 and it ends up at 129.85.

[@DustinAndrew]

I've worked in radio for nearly half my life since I was 15 years old and it's always been a goal of mine to learn how to DJ.....thanks to your video I made the decision to purchase this controller! Thank you

[@kylebryerton5781]

This was 1000x more insightful and detailed on how to actually utilize each function, than the garbage tutorials they try to pass off in the program. I watched those damn things over and over and was still hitting a brick wall with how it was supposed to function. This saved my desire to play it. I may use add some cyberpunk effects to my personal material after the fact. To anyone looking into 1 of these. I love mine, would recommend. Really good base product for the beginner. And thanks to this video. I will be enjoying mine a shit ton more now!!!!

[@Xylume]

This controller's been great to me. It's the best money that I've spent on DJ gear, and it entertains me well.

[@shooterdu2102]

I got this exact model for Christmas along with speakers and headphones it’s a great controller I was struggling with the shite tutorial on the website but this was a hiden gem of a video, got your self another sub m8

[@tooshort4892]

Nice tutorial and encouraging. Liked the way you looped the tracks! I've spun tracks in my day and even called myself a so called dj. With djing software and a DJ controller I have just learned in 48 hours of surfing the web and KZbin that this is what you need to be a DJ in this era. I've purchased two controllers already but this one along with the software makes the whole process and idea easy. Guess I'll be purchasing a third controller. Not guess but definitely! Thanks 👍👏 (I checked out your channel subbed by the way.)+++

[@bodymolt3]

great tutorial bud. seemed pretty unbiased even tho it was sponsored. you demonstrated use very effectively and efficiently. i want one now

[@nicolash.9222]

Nice video ! I'm trying to learn and do both at that time. Transitions and song picking are the keys !

Totally!

I really wanna learn how to dj. This video is amazing!

[@SweetScaleTV]

Any musician or producer I highly recommend that you learn how to DJ! Its a great source of income and a lot of fun. I learned to DJ for a wedding and ive been making great income on the weekends!! Thanks for sharing this vid T!

[@Taetro]

totally a great means of income

[@khizarbhatti9247]

is it really a good source of income??? if u dont mind me asking how much u make around?? also how do u find gigs???

[@jhonram2496]

@@khizarbhatti9247 legit as a dj you can charge 50 Dollars per hour and people will gladly pay. Don't charge the full amount up front ex:" I'll dj the whole event for 100$" because if you're doing a good job people will want you to stay and parties can be from 1-5 hours long so it's best to charge hourly so you don't get ripped off . Think about it like this dj for five hours and get paid 250$ in a day Or dj for five hours and get paid 100$ in a day Also make sure all your equipment is next to you at all times or go with a friend because people like to steal and finesse.

[@henrychan4728]

may I ask is it possible to learn on your own? not taking any lesson in some dj school?

You did a great job. I’m thinking of getting this but will it also work like mixed in key where it picks hot cues for you?

[@djgeniusgee]

For a beginner DJ you know how to use the fader the correct way. Most DJ's use the volume fader which is technically wrong. What you're doing is very correct!! Good job brother!!

Cool Video question can you record your mixes ?

Using this for the last 2 weeks. Pretty solid for a beginner but the buttons are just too hard to press. Sometimes, I'm feeling the music and I hit the button and it just doesn't get pressed lol.

yeah check it out and lmk what you think!

Where can I get music for mixing?

[@darrenweston1618]

I don't get it When I nudge the jogwheels clockwise that channel slows down When I pull the pitch fader towards me... it speeds up that channel Yet if nothing is playing... They go the correct way! What am I missing???

Djuced

[@Melotako]

so nice

[@Taetro]

Thanks Sean!

[@SlotCar2021]

The tempo faders are hard to get bang on tempo, so you can tempo match and have track 1 at say 129 and try and bring a 120 bpm on track 2 up to 129 but it usually ends up being at 128.95 and that means the tracks will get out of sync. The easiest option is just to hit sync. On the hurcules dj academy they use two tracks that are at the same bpm. More expensive controllers have more control over fine adjustments of bpm, not sure if it can be changed in software so it is easier to hit on the impulse 200?

[@rachidow2125]

You can change the Beat Grid in the software. InspirAspir made a good vid about this at 6:10 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV7TlZSDo7R9eLM

does this board use serato?

[@user-bo8jh1lh2j]

Hi sorry for the late comment but I want to ask you how you can download your songs in the software itself

[@willreed9433]

Download whatever song you want to use as an mp3 file (look up youtube to mp3, soundcloud to mp3, etc.) and then drag the mp3 file into the software

[@akinleyeakinrefon6447]

Does it have a key analyzer

[@tavalassigara9]

Can you use virtual dj for this

[@eddiereyna2941]

Will this work with virtual dj?

[@patrickd3945]

When using this DJ controller software can you pick any songs to use, or is there only some songs you can pick from

[@kylebryerton5781]

I havent dabbled to deep into what you can pull into the program and play with as far as legit songs everyone knows. It does have the option to link to SoundCloud and a couple other off shoot music apps. Id assume those would all upload files just the same. However, I use Ableton to record guitar tracks and layer them, yada yada. Since picking up this control up (pawn shop deal, could t resist) Ive found those tracks from Ableton load into their program really fast and clear. Im writing metal tracks and making them into some crazy cool things id never have expected to or would have thought to do. You can even clip sections from your imported material and make those into quick hit FX. Really cool tool for a beginner. Or even a moderate player like me that wants to try something new but not go crazy over budget. This is affordable, and you won't get bored if you are looking to use it to expand your creativity and try something new! 🤘🤘

[@willreed9433]

You can import any song you want so long as it’s downloaded on your computer. So for songs on spotify, soundcloud, youtube etc. you can download the song as an mp3 file (a quick google search will give several website that do this) and then load the mp3 file into the dj software EDIT: I think this software has a feature where you can import songs from soundcloud directly without downloading it as a file. But regardless. You can use whatever song you want.

If it's your first time I understand. But all you need to do is just listen. It takes a really long time to know what actually sounds good sometimes. Everything needs to be done on a fly otherwise you're not DJing.
