Learn How To DJ In 14 Minutes (DDJ REV1)

[@malcolmclews705]

I did do some old school mixing on my mates vinyl decks in the 80's and have just bought my first digital DJ controller, Numark Mixtrack Pro2. Looking forward to getting stuck into a journey learning with your help at the ripe old age of 64. About time someone talked in lay mans terms.

[@rachelrobinson726]

You are so much better at explaining things than people in other videos I’ve watched - thank you!

Does this model have a 4 deck option please

This is hands down the best beginner dj video I've found on KZbin!!! I've been watching so many for about a month now, and none broke down the basics like you did. I feel confident and excited going into practice, rather than overwhelmed and lost. Thank you so much!! Would love to see more from ya. -4our

[@dika5355]

Agreed!!! It was super helpful!!!

[@djbill359]

I agree, this is bringing it back to basics. We all need to crawl before we can run. Look into Music Theory and also Song Structures. I found these very handy in understanding how music works and how songs are structured. And don't forget to Practice Practice Practice.

[@HolidayInGuantanamo]

This tutorial is great because he supplies the example tracks as well, which ensures that everyone can follow this tutorial and match everything that he does. For absolute beginners this learning material is foundational. Something that might be super obvious to experts isn't necessarily known by everyone, like the counting of bars.

[@minhalenam8593]

best 14 minutes of mu life. I decided to be a monk now. Transformational video.

[@stretch1807]

Truly excellent instruction! You know how to teach and understand your audience's needs. Instant subscriber!

[@christophersonawane]

Yo! I appreciate what you said in the intro! often times we think we need the best and most expensive equipment to get started or be good at it but that isn't the case and this applies to so many situations in life. As a guitarist who wants to get into DJing I really want the least expensive way to get in so that I can experience and see if i really enjoy it or is it just another fad i have.

[@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904]

I think the thing is that the equipment is already at a high standard. Eg if you wanted to recommend an acoustic instrument, you may have a list of things to avoid when buying! Eg for flute, we have to buy or rent a 'student flute'. Not a flute from a music shop.... a flute from a flute shop. A guitar from a guitar shop...not a guitar from a generic music shop.

[@MacGudda]

You explained this perfectly for me a total beginner and stranger to the equipment. Thank you I was able to mix my first song. The follow along download and count was exactly what I needed. Thanks again. (YES) for the part 2 💯

[@saeedmobaligh7286]

YES PLEASE MAKE A PT.2, NEED IT MAN!

[@AngieSchirtzinger]

Yes, really appreciate the clarity/easy to follow video style. Would love more DJ rev1 tutorials with you. Thank you.

[@JustOffTarget]

Yes! Yes! I’m getting it! I’m almost an old timer and just started doing this just for fun. I got into a bit of inexpensive gear and your video has really gotten me in my way! Wish I could have a video like this everyday to practice and advance my skills. Thanks!!

[@CharlieCoopertv]

Thank you sooo much for this! Incredibly helpful- this video is one of the best I’ve seen hands down for learning how to dj. I’m buying my controller tomorrow and can’t wait to continue learning with you!

[@superDjMikey]

Yes. Nice and clear. And what is important - very slow with repeating.

[@mayaracarvalho4861]

Best explanation EVER, you've made it seem much easier and smoother for beginners! a huge THANK YOU!! 💜

[@zero11010]

Can you do a video about how to connect a condenser mic to a laptop through a power source 🤗

[@dika5355]

Thank you for this detailed tutorial!! Very helpful for a beginner like myself. Quick question about the numbers, is there an easier way to remember the order of how they go? When I get to the 3, 2, 3, 4 ... 4, 2, 3, 4 part, its a bit confusing.

[@dulcelopez7657]

Try saying the number patter when you're just chillin without music and get the rhythm of that count. I just watched another video and the dj did it differently but I followed this technique and i was in synch with the video. It's a tutorial from Laidback Luke

[@dulcelopez7657]

Sorry for the typos haha im stoney

[@Tra1710]

Great video! I have the Rev 1 and want to know if you could/would do an extended tutorial on specifically the Rev 1 and all off its settings and features? Also, I have Serato DJ Pro. I'd like to know how to set different cue points on one individual track and loop those cue points, as well as learn all useful features of this controller. Thanks!

[@mrlawilliamsukwarmachine4904]

You're asking question about things that you can find on Serato support site...trial and error. This video is for complete newbies, introducing the 'concept'. As in people not knowing even what DJing is. For looping cues, you just need to try reading the instructions or look for another Pioneer product or from a video of another brand/controller using Serato. Once we can basically DJ, we need to teach ourselves. It's okay to seek help when we're stuck. Get stuck first. Then say "i tried this...then this...then that. This worked up until a point. Etc."

Yo my man would love to see a part two!

[@davidsnyder4801]

[@djjalilh565]

Hi CEE B Thanks so much for this great easy to understand toturial. I was searching all over KZbin for this kind of info. What’s the reason behind the 2 x 4 count. When I play my sound effect during a mix it’s not loud enough even though the smaller volume is to the max

[@SeminalSentinel]

Thank you Bro.

[@fixedbit]

This is amazingly covered and works for other controllers too by just philosophy. You cut out a lot of the fluff that other tutorials seem to bog down with and get the basics rolling for getting your first two songs mixed. Keep it up!

[@OgDj2024]

Great mixing lesson! 👍🏾 But, why are the platters not spinning when the music is playing??

[@cospina2451]

Yes. Great tutorial for beginners.

[@brianmclean5362]

Great video👍Just wished you would've explained the reasons for turning the low eq knob each time because honestly I never really heard a difference in sound which was kind of confusing🤨

[@DJCEE_B]

Thanks bro. Tbh I wanted to keep this nice and light not too much information. But if you thought that then maybe I need to improve on it in the next video. The low eq knob removes the drums and the bass of the track to allow the mix to sound a lot better when mixing the two tracks. Thanks for bringing this up. I’ll add this in in future videos. Thank you for watching
