[@DocA9199]

Waltrus one of the only top DJs that HAS knowledge to share :D

[@Waltrus]

DocA9199 Haha you are right :P

[@蘇俊維-j5x]

[@x.b.o9467]

Answer to: @DocA9199 Waltrus one of the only top DJs that HAS knowledge to share :D This is sooooo TRUE!!!!!!!!

[@DrBiBeatz]

Waltrus AVB share his knowledge too. There are loads of top Producer's all sharing knowledge on KZbin

[@Waltrus]

The moment when you get skipped :'(

[@acquacow]

I saw you!

[@samwu1836]

Let's support this guy and give him #1!

[@jbucku324]

Waltrus damn I'm glad you commented. You have a awesome channel. Great idea on that one. Got a sub here.

[@dj_winsda]

LOL!!!!

[@Waltrus]

Turbulentz Music thanks a lot, appreciate your feedback ! =)

[@theavguy4162]

In my opinion it dosent matter if you use a controller or vinyl or cds or whatever. It's not about what you use, but how you use it :)

[@violet-beck]

Atticus VanDoleweerd I 100% agree

[@Waltrus]

Atticus VanDoleweerd Wise words :D

[@DawnHub666]

Obviously.

[@francmosheqaj3838]

that's rights. I have a physical disability and I am trying out different midis to see what one works

[@erikcastle9157]

Amen brother!

[@dj_marvel_]

Doesn't matter what you use as a DJ. Doesn't make you better or worse when it comes to using a controller/cdjs/vinyl. They are just tools. How you use them is what makes you a great DJ. I love both my vinyl setup and my controller! Thanks for posting this Laidback Luke!

[@schamrocklive7948]

LaidBackLuke! Thank you! I got my 1st tables at 7 , my father was a broadcast dj in the 80's... I inherited the art but you are showing me what I'm doing wrong and I AM ADVANCING. Between you and Dj AM you guys are and were the Realest! I thought I was good but now im on the path to greatness! Thank you!

[@DJAUDIO1]

That was incredible. You were live on the spot. It's great to see big professional DJs stepping up and showcasing their skills outside of the festival circuit and trying new gear. Kudos for getting on Serato DJ and doing a lot with the features on the controller. Your programming and musical selection is on point. There are some slip-ups here and there but we do not fault you for it because it was live and on the spot freestyle all the way. That is what we call real DJ.

[@Glennbda01]

@Laidback Luke as a new DJ who is close to being 50 I love how you teach us novices through your own experiences and extensive knowledge of your craft but through your humbleness you don't come across as an ass hole of sensei but as a patient master. One Love and thank you for your tutelage.

[@ThePolomarco]

Is not about the equipment, it's about the skills. Luke is for me the number 1. Keeps this blog's

[@Lastremify]

Long time listener, first time commenter. Luke thank you for this episode. I use to DJ weddings and hump vinyl for for my uncle's company when I was 16. I'm 32 now and my wife surprised me with a Pioneer DDJ_SX2. I'm still overwhelmed by the how different a controller is compared to the tables. Although I'm a far way off in considering myself a DJ, it was really special seeing my favorite DJ use one. Very inspiring and great effort. Much love for LL!

[@alliver9645]

Cheers Luke! Love that you did this. There's sooooo many amateur DJ's out there with controllers in their bedroom trying to learn how to mix with lower budget controllers. Think you can do a tutorial on setting up your equipment? Cue Points, FX, etc. Love your Vlog!

[@mateuszkozdroj1412]

Alliver the thing is this controller (mc7000) isn't exactly low budget ;) The functionality of it is pretty much the same as in the prime series players

[@placeofgaming]

This is a good idea i'd love a tutorial on setting up equipment! I personally have a Pioneer DDJ SX2 and would love some kind of tutorial on a controller like this too

[@djpax50]

I've been DJing for 20 years and I never thought of grouping my cue points by color. This is a game changer. Been using a controller for about a year now and this is like break through. TY.

[@Justicecool]

atleast i am glad to see DJs like luke who inspires the younger generation not just by words but by making time and showing and teaching them what it is to actually be in their shoes. #respectluke

[@japanman141]

Hey Laidback Luke, Im brand new to this whole DJ world and just bought a DDJ SB3 and am loving the fun I am having. The subtitle commentary in this video as well as the overhead camera helped me learn so much, thank you!

[@andresrivera8399]

As a guy who is starting to DJ in a controller and wants to learn everyday, this video is super helpful. Thanks Laidback Luke for always keeping it real!

[@marialopes9365]

Andres Rivera totally agree. I wished more dj’s would do this. With explanations and everything. Sharing the knowledge with the world !

[@rohitraina6806]

You are real a legend .... Ur method for teaching the mixing of songs which is actual DJingmakes more fun to learn... Thank you laidback luke

[@praneethgeedi333]

These "In My Mind" series are the holy grail of DJ tutorials. It is really great to see you perform and also give an insight into what you are thinking. Please keep them coming. Thanks a lot! :)

[@erikcastle9157]

gosh darn, laidback luke is an amazing dj. he takes time out of his very busy schedule to give us little people tips and tricks. i've learned so much from Mr Luke! keep it up Mr Luke im learning so much! thank you for all your tips and tricks!

[@jeffreymanseau]

Man I appreciate the time you take to put these together and put them out. Much respect for educating and pushing limits!

[@eddielamar8452]

Absolutely the BEST tutorial I've seen!!! Actually telling us what you are doing while mixing and using the eq's and faders. Thank you so much!!!

[@TheMonoxide12]

These videos continue to impress, Luke is the realest DJ out there much love

[@НикитаБезуглый-р6э]

Several times my heart was contracting predicting a mistake but Luke was overcoming it! No, he was making so much creativity of it. Wonderful skills, inspiration for soooo many people. Luke, keep it going 🌪💫💥

[@kevindesouza9361]

Laidback Luke you are awesome! I have recently started learning how to dj and watching your videos helps out so much! Watching this video alone has taught me a bunch of things. Love your videos big fan thank you!!

[@sillyrussian_]

I've been learning to DJ this year and I find this video extremely helpful and inspirational, it's definitely motivating me to continue practicing! Much appreciated.

[@djfxnc]

That's really nice when you can combine the skills of one old school Dj with the tecnology, the most important is tou ear, im profesional Dj and with my brother we have a Dj Academy for mor that 17 Years in Cali-Colombia (Mix Masters Dj Academy) We keep the essence of the Vinyl, and is the first step for Become a true Dj, then you can explore another Dj Equipments or Software, but Always the foundation for educate your ear and learn good skills is the Turntables, because you have real contact with the music! Thanks Luke for Amazings tutorials... Dj Fx

[@RandomFPVlive]

I just got back into DJing from a 6 year break. (new dad, lifestyle changes, you know) I bought the traktor s4 mk3 for the spinning platters, as I started on vinyl in 97. These controllers are crazy man! I can do things I only dreamed of when spinning on techs. Anyhow, just wanted to say thank you for showing what can be done on a controller, I love how your style transferred right over to the controller. Big respect. RandomBeat

[@thestigoriginal]

I think Laidback Luke must sign to American Ninja Warrior! Who agree? @djchemic

[@vladnovajska]

Ax Wels TV American Ninja Warriors DJ Edition

[@maxmikkelsen166]

Ax Wels TV I want to see Dillon Francis on it too lol

[@paulschopfsnooker5516]

one of the so called "real" djs. doing proper mixing using all kinds of techniques and always having new ideas! good stuff keep it up bro @Laidback Luke!

[@David-ut6hy]

I follow and listen you since 2010 Luke, you were my inspiration for djing this all time a long before you were doing the vlogs! And you're still part of my inspiration today. I'm happy when I get notified in my phone when you have a new video, thnks for all! :D

[@Marco-dg4vj]

Now it's time to do it with vinyl ;)

[@djstylex13]

I must start by say thank you for all that you share, I find all of it very help for DJs like myself that are trying to make it. I currently do my sets on a Pioneer DDJ-RX controller. Many of the things you did in the video are helping me be more creative as I used dj on a urei 1630 rotary mixer with 1200s. Thank you Luke for showing that you care about those trying to make it to the top. P.S saving up to switch to Denon Prime series. Ls up

[@djoliashman3638]

Amazing VLOG, Thanks. Please could you do a VLOG on headphone/monitor volumes and how you protect your biggest asset, your ears. Do you use in ear headphones to help with this? 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jcigama]

I'm a beginner dj and I'm learning a lot from your videos, they're very inspirational. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone. Keep them coming, salamat!

[@TheSaabClinicUK]

Watched this so many times now, but its great to see what a Pro can do on a Controller. I have a MC7000 too, superb bit of kit and literally every day is a learning curve with it. So much you can do with the hundreds of features. IMO its still the best controller on the market.

[@borderless3903]

This was amazing! Thanks, I really needed this

[@justin555666]

Awesome to see a great DJ make some mistakes here and there, couple of which I've made myself not too long ago. Learned a few tricks and gained some confidence. Thanks Luke!

[@Elektoos]

This is the single most informative video i have seen. Really enjoy your videos!

[@5olace]

Zedd djs on a dj controller I believe! Kygo does too sometimes! Just comes to show it doesn't matter what u use! It's how you make use of it!👌🔥 sick video btw Laidback Luke!

[@therealrickytan]

5olace I believe Porter Robinson still rocks with the S4

[@5olace]

therealrickytan ya, he has more of a live setup though. I think he performs with multiple controllers through ableton.

[@JamesRJKR]

I may be wrong, but I thought most DJs used DJ controllers, no?

[@BrenCford]

Technically CDJs are controllers, it's the same stuff, same 'cheats' just depends on what software you use on your laptop or the onboard system software of the players.

[@pandapunk3988]

I have been using DJ controllers for a couple years since they are affordable. Watching your Vlogs have defiantly help improved my skills and the fact that you pretty much freestyle a lot is good to see, for I do very well when I free style and watching a DJ with amazing skills like your self has been motivating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all :-)

[@Cyber_cvlt]

LL dropping basshouse? Yes please! You did a great job with the controller , everyone needs to learn but you did really good! Thanks for sharing everything you do and your knowledge with us , really helps me out.

[@nicholasmeddin4233]

Thank you Laidback Luke!! This video inspired me to continue learning to DJ. You're the man!

[@josemarfernandes22]

One of the only top DJ that is sharing his knowledge with us thanks

[@jeffryhill6350]

Just got myself a ddj sx2 and I'm loving the way that you're showing the way you use serato dj always been looking up to you for advice through music and have always come through

[@trixtlr9957]

Been waiting on this for a while! Best live DJ for sure:)

[@gujuchokra]

That was really good work on a controller Luke. I have the same Denon controller, definitely a step up from my Numark MixTrack Pro that I bought 8 years ago. Gotta respect any DJ that's willing to move where the technology is and step out of their comfort zone!

[@andrewknox9360]

Hi Luke, Thanks for the video. I appreciate seeing these kind of videos because I can get an idea of a professional's workflow.

[@Slow2Life]

Luke, you are my inspiration bro!! I watch every one of your videos and study your techniques, then try to apply them to my wee little hercules controller. So far, I haven't got lost yet!

[@FireKingDJ1]

wow i just stopped the video because i thought it was too amazing to be true and because i have to say thank you so much Laidback Luke for sharing all this stuff with us. I have so much respect for you. I beging to learn djing and you are helping me so much since the start. Thank you for all !!

[@thomasbornschlegl7567]

Got that Controller last month. is such a grat Controller and it s nice to see a dj like Laidback Luke using it his way.

[@theacid2439]

Laidback i want a vinyl set

[@SuperGilson2000]

Fucking yeh

[@chaumander_004]

This was an awesome vid. Throwing you out of your element with the controller definitely shows your creativity.

[@beixgshxnil3236]

These music are so relaxing

[@kriger9851]

Good set Luke ... You are inspiring a lot of people in the world with the vlogs you do ... keep doing what you do

[@djceejaay]

You're keeping it REALER THAN REAL, being the superstar DJ that you are and mixing with the controller here. 💯 ✌🏾 Hope you had some fun. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I've been thinking of the getting the MCX8000 controller for a while now, to go with my DDJ-SX2 and my Traktor S5. Keep it up! 👍🏾

[@jbucku324]

Great video Luke! It's nice to see someone like you mixing on a nice controller like this. It's encouraging cause not everyone has the money for two nice players and a expensive mixer also. Most djs starting will have a controller so great idea to make this👍

[@jackiefreakymusic8885]

Being able to express our musical ideas and inspiration in a mix is what djing is about and you Luke do just that thanks to these denon gear you can create mix and express your musical influence and ideas live way to go to denon ! No more falling back behind expensive pioneer gear !

[@kennykang2476]

LBL, You are the man! Just by watching your vlogs I have learned so much about how to be a better mixer. Thanks for this "In My Mind" and see what you like to do. Please keep them coming! Best Live Mixer in the Business! Please come back to Philly soon! I will show you where to get the best cheesesteak :)

[@SweatyPalms1533]

I love your videos Luke!! like so much effort and fan interaction you never see that I love it!!

[@Sirch100precent]

this mix just goes to show that mixing with any set up can be done the old school way. A basic mixer with real vinyl or an all in one controller from the future .. doesn't matter it's all fun and takes skills to put on a good set!

[@advaithr7427]

Hey Luke since u do tutorials on production and DJing. would u mind doing a vlog where u teach us some basic Kung Fu moves for self defense

[@Ex0rz]

Punch: Swing your fists forward swiftly. Kick: Do the same thing. :D

[@kennyprovido5080]

True! Just in case we get attack in our dj booths!

[@djrobtech]

yes! I would love to see him teach us his Kung Fu and other hobbies he has outside of the DJ scene! Laidback Luke is a man with many talents

[@antonmsk3401]

hit, dont get hit

[@markotik75]

Anton Marusenko spit in their face to distract them for enough time to get enough power to accurately kick them as hard as you can right in the bollocks. Then knee them in the face when they double up in pain hopefully breaking thei nose so they can’t fight back. Then get outa there quick. In self defence there’s no such thing as a fair fight- use every dirty tactic in the book if you’re about to get a kicking. I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for 19 years and unless we end up on the ground quickly, no brown belt would do any good whatsoever- so fight dirty or take a beating... I know what I’d choose lol

[@pleban833]

I own one, was glad to see what professional is able to do with it. Very useful, thanks a million!

[@spoonjibobu]

I don't usually make comments on youtube, nor follow the commercial EDM scene, but I've got to say Luke, the knowledge you're sharing is invaluable as well as super insightful and it's all pretty entertaining to watch at the same time. Big props!

[@moudaber5540]

Dope set. The color coded hot-cue trick is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@flytopranav]

That sax transition was out of the world 🔥

[@RobDshurbon]

I've been wait for this vlog. I think you killed it. I've actually been looking at buying one of the denon controllers so it was great to see you do this. Thanks.

[@djsrimusic]

Using which setup or Console doesn't matter but less practice and familiarity with setup does makes confuse you. As we can see even luke is having little bit issues using this due to lesser practice in controller. But the Set was Awesome!!!!

[@richardp1233]

DJ SRI agreed! He's definitely using a lot of the features the controller provides

[@richardp1233]

DJ SRI agreed! He's definitely using a lot of the features the controller provides

[@RalphDanielsMusic]

Hey luke, what do you think is lacking in the music industry right now?

[@TheMairex]

athul teja agree, gotta stay underground for that

[@joelewis]

Theres a bunch.

[@D4ND094]

Pornstars

[@interjectionalice5839]

Ralph Daniels Not enough electro house used by djs who don't prerecord

[@DJIainB72]

Loving the fact that if you really wanted you could have re-recorded this, but you haven't and uploaded 'as is.' From someone coming from 1210s this digital thing still has me scratching my head, but I feel better knowing that someone like you still has 'ummmmm' moments :-)

[@Germ4kush]

Wow! Thank you so much for this video. I love that even with something you're not feeling you make into something great. More practice for me right after this video

[@DJ_DoubleM]

Thank you so very much for putting that out there. As a Blonde DJ I have to deal with the issue of software accessibility. Therefore the IDJ pro by Newmark with the Djay software has help me tremendously in that area.

[@DJRodBell]

Great transitions, so great mix! Thanks Luke, I've learned a lot in 20 min

[@rlg222]

This is so cool to watch you on this controller! There is nothing you can't-do! I've had the pleasure of watching lots of your Vlog's. I was fortunate enough to catch your live show at Talking Stick Casino in Scottdale AZ!

[@Mr_Sandball]

I don't really watch your video's that often, but the 'In My Mind'-series gets me every time! :D

[@edmnomad]

Awesome set, *thanks* for giving the opportunity for upcoming dj's to learn a lot from this video

[@DRJelly-ld8mm]

WOW. i learned so much. This video was incredible. Like i didnt know that a alot of skills he showed in the video was possible on a comtroller. Thank you so much. This is gonna help me become a better Dj.

[@artdiaz2369]

Awesome work for a first attempt. I love using loop and loop rolls with my transitions and add effects to fade them out. Allows me to play the new track or sample clips to remix on the fly..

[@clawe6379]

I've looked on the mcx8000 but the loop function could use a change to something like on the Traktor s4 mk2! Knobs instead of buttons is just gold!

[@ThePiratePaddy]

If you go to the setting on serato and change the speed of the pause button. If you adjust it to just a bit slower you can then press the slip button and before build ups you can press play,pause,play,pause,play whilst filtering or using effects like the echo for example. Another technique your able to use to make build ups seem more interesting :)

[@m.Xander_562]

thisbwas the tutorial I needed! thanks Luke keep killin it!!

[@seto449]

Thank for sharing with some technics, its great for beginners and also the equipment that your using in this video its much affordable for the beginners. We need more Dj like you whose passionate about Djing and like to share with some of their technics.

[@JalalRamdani]

About scratching: song 1 is playing and you want to introduce song 2 by scratching it, you always get the song 2 on beat with song 1 when you release the platter, is there some trick there or it's pure experience? because you do it perfectly on the normal decks and now also on a controller, which do not necessarily have the same "platter resistance"

[@coreymck1973]

good job mate, gave me a few new ideas for when I use my controller to have fun at home. Keep up the good work Luke. Cheers

[@TheTim77798]

I always love these! can you turn this into a regular series? if you have the time between touring and time with your kids of course. I can speak on behalf of many fans that we want more of these!!

[@rescuetech74]

So amazing to watch you work your magic

[@dzakigunawan]

I've been waiting for this for a long time

[@willstone9222]

Great mix and nice to see the mistakes left in. This is why you'll always been one of the best out there!!! Nice to see you using s controller as well!!

[@djsmuru]

I feel like I'm on the right path with my tech house video mix risks after watching this. Awesome work!

[@k3narzadon448]

Nice. I too, made the switch from vinyl to cdjs and now to serato dj control DDJ-SZ2. Still the lack of feel for vinyl when scratching. Either that or my scratching skills suck as I get older.

[@shariatoman]

Did not expect this set to be so fun to watch! Keep up the good work Luke! ^_^

[@kirkhammet9171]

This is like sitting front Row at a University class .. holy shit thank you for the abundance of insight .

[@neilcox1911]

pure magic and just a real pleasure to watch such a creative DJ absolute class

[@JimLigon]

Nice video. I like the honesty & creativity of the whole thing. Thanks, Luke. Appreciate it!

[@FlaBlack]

Man I really appreciated seeing a DJ out of his comfort zone and still make a great mix ,that really lets me know its not the tools its the DJ, ,Well that is as far as I'm going to with that Great Job Truely

[@jlnnnr]

So cool! Got the MC 7000, too, even more inspiration for me than other videos!

[@tlrmusic1086]

Good mix Luke! Definitely would like to see another controller mix soon.

[@JOCAmusic]

Even big DJs have space out of their comfort zone. Nice one Luke!

[@sapangheewala5935]

i really got inspired by this video and the tricks which you have showed in it.

[@jumpstartr]

I have the mc7000 and I absolutely LOVE it. One EPIC SAVE for you. See those knobs above the pitch fader? use that to change the track's key if it's mixing poorly. Seeing your workflow with live waveforms is super informative. Thank you so much for this!! Love your work always

[@daneproductions394]

The crossfade you did on 5:49 was awesome!

[@chingizbailov9335]

I like how you color code your cue points. Great system

[@zellixmusic]

3:08 track name pls?
