[@johandiurhuus5061]

i hope everyone is listening to what he said about gain levels! werry important!

[@digitaldjtips]

Definitely!

[@chaseshadows566]

I had a general idea about it but this is very well explained. I'll be keeping this in mind going forward.

[@rodrigosmusic]

Probably the best tip in this entire video.

[@DanSterry]

So good to see this! God help the DJ who plays after James Hype who hasn't got a clue what he's changed! 😂

[@digitaldjtips]

lol!

[@xylophonlangner9801]

Man, a person playing after J.H. should know all that basic stuff.

[@vedantbhatia01]

CDJs change to default settings that you have set in your rekordbox as soon as you insert your pen drive.

[@jamescontreras6849]

Your usb has all of your settings so it wouldn't matter

[@walther89]

theres nothing to worry, default is all in 12 o clock in eq and others just preferences what are playable any way

Yeah !!that’s my first impression as well! first thing came to my mind. It’s fair enough though if you bare in mind that he has uploaded a full set up and mixing course on his website requiring subscription… so making this video for free.. we can’t tell it’s worth it for him 😢

Thank You so much i learned to get those gain knobs at around 11 o’clock instead of 12 o’clock - great idea 💡

[@digitaldjtips]

Glad it helped Allan.

[@technology42069]

other mixers (allen & heath eg) often have plenty of headroom built in to avoid clipping. Pioneer is digital generally so clipping occurs sooner/ easier in my experience. Depends on your mixing style too. i generally gain my tracks before I begin playing them as I often have very old tracks that arent as loud as modern mixes.

[@ant73uk1]

I run all my tunes thru platinum notes so the tracks or all set at the same gain!!..😎👍😁🎶🎶🎶👌

an important thing to make sure you check when stepping up to this mixer is what the line outputs are set to (A, B, or thru). Any one who hasnt used a this setup could be confused when their FX don't come out

[@digitaldjtips]

He's awesome 😎

[@RaquelFoster]

There are a lot of settings and it's nice to have your preferred settings stored on a thumb drive then make sure you load them when you're playing on someone else's gear. They didn't mention quantize. He has the CDJ quantize off. If you have quantize on that can make hot cues really frustrating. Quantize on the mixer makes your FX line up to the grid, but quantize on the CDJ makes your hot cues not respond until the next full beat.

[@digitaldjtips]

Yes very true :) We mention Quantize quite a bit during the course because it's not set and forget, James is constantly turning it on/off depending on the technique so he definitely doesn't just have it off

[@vaugenheimnughnrn8723]

You can find the original songs and find the pitch that way but a lot of times you can mix by ear. Doesn't always have to match pitches. It can work with 5ths and other harmonics as well. But it's good practice to train your ears as well.

In dealing with the gain. What if the recording level is low on the next song you want to mix in? Cause i keep having to adjust the gain when it comes to tracks that have a low recording level?

[@digitaldjtips]

That's fairly normal, you could try something like Platinum Notes if you like to try and make your tracks more consistent so you don't have to tweak the gain as much between tracks

[@virgilwilliams2378]

What software? There might be an autogain but from a workflow point of view there's nothing wrong with simply using the gain knobs

Shure 535

@@digitaldjtips Thanks for quick reply! Isnt the bass in those pretty low? I've been told that Shure might not be the best for club music due to low bass frequency in them and it makes it harder to mix "tight".

what dj controllers does james hype use..? i really want to achieve that level of using 4'decks still a beginner would love to no how it works do i need a specific dj controller that can connect external decks .. if so what controller what that be..??

[@digitaldjtips]

James uses a CDJ setup rather than controllers but it's entirely possible to pull off his tricks with a wide range of gear including controllers, in the course we have him pull off a couple of his signature routines on the DDJ-1000 and 400 to show it's basically all the same :) The DDJ-1000 would be worth a look if it's within budget, 4 decks by itself or you can hook up a couple of CDJs or turntables to it

[@RaveeMattRavee]

DDJ1000 and CDJS on the side. Walaaa

[@midnightmusic5650]

What controller is that?

[@RaveeMattRavee]

Not a controller its a full cdj setup. Each CDJ is about 1,000 off the lot plus 1,500 for the mixer.
