I would prefer that you explain and show the technique first without the music full on or isolate the sound and hand movement better.

Dj As-one vs Dj As1

[@djsilver2543]

why is it that most tutorials are done with hip hop why don't you use reggae

[@elephantgrass631]

I love the technique where you touch knobs on the mixer FOR NO REASON.

[@iambobby3537]

there is a reason... some DJs have a certain process or way to move through a mix that may involve putting their hands here and there to keep a rhythm. It can have purpose.

[@GjerrusAllMighty]

@@iambobby3537 not to mention proper level controls (high's, lows, etc) for blends. You can tell when ppl dont actually DJ & just comment for likes or responses 💯

[@keiswag1367]

What’s actually happening is he’s taking the bass(lows) out of on song to smoothly transition into the other song. We do it so the music doesn’t sound distorted. But you’re absolutely right, we only turn knobs and press pretty buttons 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@elephantgrass631]

@@keiswag1367 Pfff, you do that once to dial it in and that's it DON'T touch it. He also keeps touching the line faders for no reason during a mix as if the magic DJ fairy will bless him gifts from above. So, what's happening to those bass and trim knobs at 2:19 then? Absolutely NOTHING.
