Mix Tutorial 4 (timing)

[@skateness]

I have no idea why anyone would thumbs down this video. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Thank you! I truly appreciate you, and I've learned so much.

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

"Luckily" we don't see those anymore. Thanks Google!

[@michaeldiruocco]

what is so impressive is that he is talking to the camera but he still didn't lose his count of the music. That's crazy

[@TheAzertjuh]

Not that crazy, after a while you don't really count that much you just feel the music and know which bar it's at.

[@djTLMtv]

Super late response: after a while it becomes second nature and you're not even thinking about it anymore

[@zorkatron20]

@@djTLMtv Hey TLM ive just ordered my first Controller a Numark Party Mix and im just wondering when dealing with songs with intros would it be better to place a hot cue where the beat starts, or just use the jogwheel to hold that position and throw it in?

[@WesKingpriaghosts]

Reaktor I’m not TLM but I can answer you. It depends on the mix you are trying to pull off. If you find some fantastic mix that requires you to be fast w it than you should make yourself a hot cue. If it doesn’t matter than just find the first beat of the drum after the intro. It’s really up to what you are trying to do. If I’m free styling I’ve noticed that I will just find it and hit the pause button on that first beat.

[@DylanGriffith]

This series of videos has made way more sense to me than any other DJ videos on youtube.

[@Vittokm]

I had that problem for a long time but when i started praying attention to it, my mix and my dj performance got to another level. Very important what u are doing dude! Congrats for sharing the knowledge in a real way. Top! 👏👏

[@alannaking3038]

some of the best DJ tutorials I've come across. thank you for explaining everything patiently and thoroughly in plain language!

[@Spiraleyes101]

No matter how many times I watch this I keep learning something new. I am still so new at this and hope to get good some day.

[@djTLMtv]

Just keep it up👍🏾👍🏾

[@itzcrusade7930]

You have the best tutorials on KZbin for mixing

[@djcoops8016]

when i first started watching these tutorials i did not know how to hear when a tempo is wrong, now i can!

[@mrnawache]

My way of mixing has been so improved since i understood that "timing". Big up from Madagascar!!

[@nicolasballe]

Dude, you have no fucking idea how much you are helping me out..i must say, i didnt know shit about mixing before i watched your videos and i really appreciate your dedication to teach us !

[@djTLMtv]

+Nick Cunha Thanks bro! 👍🏽

[@Drinkyoghurt]

Wow, what a great video, high quality, for free and it's 9 years old. Sure, there aren't many vinyl DJs left, but this is really good knowledge even for digital DJs.

[@djTLMtv]

Thanks!

[@oldschoolpaul73]

This guy is amazingly watchable, even if you already do some of the stuff he explains. Just a natural teacher.

[@jasondunwoody1318]

I know this is years old, but as I have been away from the decks for years, these videos are excellent refreshers for and updates to tech. since the industry has changed from even last year. Thank you sir, nothing but respect!

[@kadebrittingham511]

Better late than never to finish these series... We still need this out here!! Appreciate everything you do man...

[@priyaparmar4660]

You have the best videos of any DJ tutorials, you explain everything so clearly and go right back to basics. The basics are so important! Your lessons have got me feeling confident and up and running so fast.

[@duncanocharo5171]

hey DJ TLM lots of love from Kenya. I am personally gaining alot from your tutorials you are a motivation..keep up

[@sharon9270]

I've learned so much watching your tutorials and putting them into practice, you explain everything so well :)

[@DesertDrifter]

Best dj teacher on the net. Thanx a ton. 👍🏼🎶

[@MB-ts8oq]

This video remembered me the first time I had this lesson! It's not a easy video to someone who is learning the first time, but you are definitely a good teacher.

[@GoFilipe81]

OMG I had to see your video in loop mode, because I started thinking the songs I had on my records to mixing and counting them... lost some key moments. But for sure a great tutorial. Thank you

[@djmobetter4929]

Thank you so much for taking time out to make these sessions. I use to DJ after the army to pay for college. 12 crates, 4 speakers and my mixer and techniques. But now the army you retired. i am taking back up. I have the numark pro3. You have helped me tremendously. Thank you. DJ MoBetter

[@PottsyUK]

Probably one of the best channels for explaining mixing etc. Im oldskool so still only use my Technics 1210’s with a standard mixer. I’m yet to use cdj’s or for that matter anything digital. I would like to get a more advanced mixer and link it up to a laptop but imo there’s nothing like doing everything manually. I get why digital can help etc and in some ways improve stuff but I just can’t see the fun in hitting a sync button etc, there’s nothing more satisfying when u first learn how to mix and get it matching, it’s literally feels magical and so much fun!! Respect for your tutorials bro 👊🏼

[@daviDJacome1975]

i think the most important thing to get this right is to listen several times to each new track that you buy before you try to mix it. nowing your tracks is the best base for miximg. a fantastic video as always. kepp up the good work

[@BboyCorrosive]

This is exactly what I was looking for, been having issues with wanting to include the intro's into a mix , there's a lot of em in 90's boombap

[@DonDadda45]

Same. The intros can really fuck you over when you dont fully know your music.

[@jahsonharris713]

Man i dont even know where to begin. All I can say is that all your tutorial videos are easy to follow along through and i appreciate that you are thorough in explaining why the technique or form has to be that way. This video has helped it all come together and i say why timing is key in transitions. Gonna be practicing this till i get it down and mastered. Thanks Again man.

[@terriereyes9826]

Appreciate you so much for this! I was trying to understand why my timing felt unnatural and you cleared it up for me! Thanks for all your content!

[@DonDadda45]

I think a good point to bring up for the track at ~11:00 is that it has a very recognizable sound at the end of its phrases. Many many tracks have it no matter what genre, and if you notice these, you can get more of a 'feel' for the phrase instead of having to constantly count by.

[@berelliminor8838]

I used to get really confused by intros like that. another awesome video!

[@robininniss8213]

This right here is what all new DJ's should know, or at least any who love music and the art of sharing it excellent tutorial. Thank you man!!!

[@maxseiler1356]

we really need that fifth video !

[@djTLMtv]

+Max Seiler It really needs to be made soon!

[@seanfernandez5204]

+djTLMtv Forreals though.

[@radiorubbens]

Maybe fifth video could adress the possibilities of the EQ-buttons when mixing.

[@yuenglingking]

+djTLMtv yoooooo. thanks for the vids may we have another

[@sergioorjuela7896]

Come on man we are still waiting ;) I've been learning so much I don't want it to end!

[@isharaperera9866]

You're the mentor around here...Thanks☺

[@exfactor223]

@DJ TLM I know I’m super late, but I had to say I’ve been learning a ton from you. This was, for me at least, the most informative and growth inducing video I’ve watched on KZbin. I knew how to count beats, bars, ect. I knew the theory of beat matching and while I haven’t mastered it yet, I’ve been practicing for a while. However, this was the first time anyone has ever broken down the intro and how it can help or hurt you. Definitely leave this series and video up as I’m sure it will help others and I will definitely reference it again to improve my skill level! Thank you for the knowledge sincerely!

[@JosePerez-hw2tk]

I recently wanted to learn to beatmatch and mix and what not...ive seen different videos on the matter and this one is the best one out of all of them that helps u understand easily and clearly.

[@julietteprouse8878]

DJTLM, thanks so much for making the time to do these videos. Only an expert could make these techniques sound so simple and clear. You've saved me from throwing my controller out he window on more than one occasion!

[@Ezmoneyash]

I’m getting back into DJing and I can say this time around you’re really helping me per-fect my set! Thank you for these videos TLM! - DJ EZ$

[@PigTraverse]

By far the clearest explanations of what's going on. I'm looking into doing mixes for myself, and I've learnt more from your videos than anything else out there. Thanks!

[@djswivells3613]

Taught me correct way to count. I use to mix in song or drop it just on feeling. TY

[@Sensei-dm4yi]

Just ordered my first controller and meanwhile i'm waiting it to arrive watching your tutorials. I hope there will be part 5! best tutorial for sure.

[@lifeshort]

Easily the best explanations on youtube. Mate.......thankyou!

[@memeagain4106]

I still haven't mastered it yet, but I'm getting there only been doing it for a few weeks now, got a pioneer controller and serato, I'm trying not to do it via the software, i wanna learn it manually...... Its just like driving a car, when you first do it everything seems so hard and complicated trying to do 4 things at the same time (clutch. Accelerate, indicate, look in the mirrors, steer.. Etc) but once you practice, it becomes second nature and you won't have to think to much about it.... Thanks for the video bro, nuff respect from London!

[@lutzrahman2202]

im new to mixing but your videos have made it easy for me and im enjoying this..i found a new hobby.. thanks

[@childof83]

man you explained this sooooo well. I been slacking on my dj practicing man good looks Im gonna get back at it asap.

[@shamrock1337tm]

DJ TLM - thank you for sharing the knowledge. you're the diamond standard for DJ tutorials HANDS DOWN. hope to see you play live one day!

[@ryanmcdonald7343]

Exactly what I needed when I needed it

[@auskeanu]

once again another killer video! i had to learn this technique over time by myself. This has just summed it up for me all over again. I love the way you explain. you cover all the points which leaves barely any questions to ask! Much love and respect brother. From down in Australia

[@djTLMtv]

Same here. I had to learn it by myself, but it did come naturally because it made sense to me. Only after I heard other DJ's do it wrong did I realize that that feeling doesn't come naturally to everyone.

[@auskeanu]

djTLMtv a lot of dj's just overlook the most logical way of mixing one track to another with the timing of the track. A lot of dj's dont know or do not care to understand bars and phrases (timing) of tracks which spoils their performance. A large chunk of skill and creativity is lost because of that

[@andrescadavid1374]

every single word you say is a fact, i've learned so much with your tutorials, you are making to much more than just teaching how to beat matching and timing tracks, you are spending your time motivating people. RESPECT djTLM

[@tsundy94]

I just started mixing not to long ago and I have to tell you, your videos are the best tool I've found so far man! they are so informational and detailed....love the vids keep em coming bro!

[@machchemajankla8170]

Still wait for this series!!! Awesome one bro Big fan !!!

[@djelevateusa1714]

Love watching your videos dude. Even on concepts I already know about. You're a great teacher.

[@djTLMtv]

Thanks!

[@brandenpreston3089]

you are legendary, your teaching is so on point

[@djTLMtv]

I appreciate that bro 🙏🏽

[@Herfmonster]

Another great tutorial TLM! This is also a great place to play with your crossfader curve and or your channel faders. It seems to me that you being predominantly a Hip Hop/ R&B DJ and very scratch oriented DJ you run with a sharp or short crossfader curve. On the other hand I gravitate more toward House, Breakbeat, Dubstep and other EDM. I tend to play around with more layering using a long or slow crossfader curve and layering more than just 2 tracks using my channel faders. I love playing with instrumentals, accapella tracks and drum only tracks. If I can find it I love it when I can also find the instrumental minus drums. It's so fun to layer the accapella from one track over a drum loop from another. This is where it becomes so important for DJs to know the music in their crates (or folders) and always thinking about what you left behind at home on that huge shelf of records you have. (Not as much of a problem with DVS and Terrabyte+ hard drives.) Using what you teach in this video should also get people psyched to go to their local record stores for a Crate Dig. This video is also great motivation to join a record pool or subscribe to a DJ service like Promo Only, Top Hits or Ultimix. Thanx for another Awesome video tutorial.

[@MOTAZfitness]

One of the best timing videos ,, thank you

[@523rodsfelipedecalisto7]

Always appreciating your knowledge, which gives way to these great and clear tutorials Vid #5 pls dj TLM! 👌👏

[@perlobromigo522]

For real, I want to thank you already! I'm a starter dj since beginning this year and I haven't found any tutorial/ytchannel that has been so helpful and inspirational as yours! if you ever visit Belgium imma make sure i'll catch your show. Thanks!

[@SynQ86]

You're a really good teacher man. I like listening to you explaining and you do it well! :)

[@PsychoFeb1907]

Really love your tutorials and videos!!! but i still wait for Part 5 Hi's, Mid's & Low's or Crossfader...

[@curtissmith7191]

You are an amazing teacher. thanks for helping me get more confident bro.

[@potaijee]

Thanks for your vid man, just wondering did mix tutorial 5 where you teach equalizers come out?

[@marioramirez8618]

MG bro your videos are so detailed and to the point, that it makes it so easy to watch and learn. thanks for the very valuable information;

[@cubano07x]

I have been watching your entire series and it has been amazing! Just letting you know that even in 2020 your videos are helping! Thanks!

[@petelam1501]

brruuuh ! DjTLM youre the man homie. i just started djing for less then 2 weeks and ive learned alot from your channel . thank you very much and i meant it 100 . Thank you sir

[@cdcobre]

Is this what DJ 's call throwing it on the ones? I am a newbie love music and I thank you from the bottom of my hart blessings to you.

[@killergameshit4529]

Thanx DjTLMtv , i think what you are doing to help the community is ABOVE and BEYOND.. We are so lucky to have you. Much of my knowledge is because of your videos. Thank you so much and if there is anything you need think of us. Maybe we can return the favor.

[@jeremytelman6897]

Hey Dj TLM, Thanks for this video series, I found this video particularly helpful. I actually had a colleague trying to explain the beat counts to me on saturday at a gig we were doing, but he had some trouble describing it properly, which unfortunately left me confused. This cleared everything up- it's amazing that even though I'm a drummer, for whatever reason, I would never have thought to look for the bars or measures in DJing. Most of what we do is 4 on the floor, so I just figured as long as it lined up it would work. This was super helpful, and will most definitely help me progress in my DJ ability and career. Thanks again!

[@SerreosBebis]

Thank you so much for this Tutorial and all the previous ones. I was looking for a while a video like that. Looking forward for the upcoming ones !

[@Flyfbreeze]

thankx you so much for tutorial 4 , all makes sense now! was so in the wrong

[@msdaisyj23]

thank you so much for all of your videos they were very helpful

[@crimsomglory]

Best tutorial ever seen! You're awesome! Now i know how to count, but i think IT should be usefull a tutorial to mix IN THE MIDDLE of a track and not at the end! Ps i'm italian but my brother lives in BREDA: could i see your performance in july?

[@pablochaurecordero7776]

Are you going to do the next mix tutorials?? I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Thanks man.

[@xreptor]

Just finished parts 1-4 wow Up to this point I have really been doing things on my own, experimenting. Doing everything by ear, if it didn't sound right I would try to make it sound right but not knowing what I am doing. Can't wait for your next mixing tutorial. wish you were here in the states lol.

[@nargizmukhammetdiyeva6402]

can't wait for 5th video =))) very helpful tutorials, thanks!

Great teacher, I’m enjoying learning with you, thanks for doing these!!

[@andrewrobles2005]

Thank you DJ TLM always putting out the best djing knowledge and keeping it 100 👌🏽

[@29dj17]

thank you man. I'm learning how to DJ on my own (I'm sure just like everyone else on here) and i need all the help i can get. thanks a lot for your videos. timing has been a headache for me. learning with 90s hip hop music. cant wait till i pass the learning stage cuz it sucks. i know I'll get there.

[@CLOUGHMEISTA77]

Some house dj's back in the 90s used to sometimes mix off phrase or even off beat on purpose (i presume !).Some of the big names used to do it A LOT ! With the right tracks u can sometimes make it work i think but its not something i ever got into. Great vid as usual. :-)

[@ericcox4448]

Another great video. Thanks again

[@johnjroldan5130]

DJ TLM Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge!! I've learned a lot from your tutorials. Saludos from California.

Awesome video.....keep them coming

[@aungko7686]

Your tutorials are perfect. Here is form 2017 new leaner.

[@Playitrealloud]

Well thought out videos. Thanks for taking so much time to prepare the message and ultimately, the training you are passing on.....

[@acidbubblebath77]

Thanx TLM, your tutorials have been a huge help and I believe this particular tutorial may have helped me to figure out why in the hell my transitions are just not clicking. For me, getting the beat matching down was easy, but the transitioning between tracks was getting nowhere, it sounds whack most of the time. The hard part now will be timing the release of the cued up record at the right moment so there is no misalignment with the kicks. I haven't done much practice with that technique up to this point but I know now what my homework assignment will be this weekend. 🙂 I guess the next part will be learning how to EQ between tracks which I didn't realize was important until I watched your vids. Keep sharing the knowledge my friend, I can't thank you enough for that. Love and respect.

[@ranabezalwar158]

6 YEARS LATER AND STILL IMPORTANT

[@SmokeNUFC]

Thanks man really helped I have watch a lot of tutorials and this is by for the best and essayist to follow had no idea about counting the music till now I now have a basic idea about beat matching and timing and can practice a lot better your the man :)

[@haffneralex]
