[@jjtotheb]

now then! he talked it up so well. then took a shit in my ear drums

[@mikibeach9201]

true :)

[@mightydubkat]

Yeah, overuse of simplistic FX and the mixing isn't very good.

[@lolatu4402]

bruh... how many died in this trainwreck?

[@TheRealSweedie]

Your videos are great and very informative, however, I need to make a big suggestion to you. I think it would be a lot more beneficial for people if the first thing they saw was you actually performing whatever task you're making a tutorial about, and then follow that by explaining it more properly. I think people will watch your videos a lot more if you did it that way.

[@martinjohansen1869]

you are actually right ☺ i think people watch the videos if they get a demonstration of what he want to teach. and it will be easier to understand what he is talking about☺

[@ellaskins]

+TheRealSweedie agree, will do next time

[@TheRealSweedie]

ellaskins Cool! I hope it'll work out for you!

[@TheSkratchmaster]

Although I do enjoy seeing your working/work flow... Like the bits you show where you maybe don't get it quite right... But you explane why and then do it right, you get to see your thinking, which is also really cool to see... Hope you never loose this kind of aspect to your content.

[@TheRealSweedie]

Dan R I don't think he should lose that either, I'm just saying that he should show the technique off first, and then explain it in more detail.

[@DanielN4v]

Hitting sync will not make managers not book you lol they just want good music played how you do it doesn't matter

[@YIIANIFY]

Hitting sync is fine but you wont get much further than your local club. Using the sync button means your putting in limations into your mix. It would mean you would shy a way from trying to mix and match BPM's and keeping to the same bpm isnt very creative

[@technicstim]

@@YIIANIFY love to see him mix vinyl lol ;-)

[@josephborsttini575]

Hahah maybe in the edm scene but in the techno scene people wil gonna hate you

[@craiglammasreach1242]

There’s no shame in hitting the sync.. I’ve mixed for 20 years & although beatmatching becomes second nature.. not having to worry so much allows you to be so much more creative within the mixes When I first started I used to think once you’ve mastered beat matching you’d never have to worry again. How very wrong lol

[@kitchmix]

Wow ! He will notice you alright ! 😂😂

[@chrispineapple]

This is the funniest shit I've seen in my life

[@luinpeters9009]

Why didnt you delete the video yet?

[@joesoefmanuputty1798]

mix like that and club manager kicks u out!

[@cryptodeejay2416]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[@DavidMcDougall1973]

I don't think the club manager would get any satisfaction from that train wreck of an introduction!

[@thekaratesuit]

if i owned a night club, this is exactly the kind of DJ i wouldn't be hiring

[@1.2.3.4..5]

Why

[@jellycoding]

He can't mix! It sounds horrible.

[@Nixklick93]

The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a technique. He said he didn't plan it that much and didn't practice it. Things like those need to be practiced for every song. I'm glad, that you do NOT own a night club, because he can mix with eyes closed, both arms torn off and standing on one leg, all while cooking dinner as Chef petit poir! I don't get all this hate. If you don't want to watch a >>demonstration

[@PierceSunderseatsRAMEN]

Rock on dude.

[@TheJennyg76]

I'm sure thats why he's is where he is in life and you are not .... or that he's flying all over the world for major DJ conferences and your not ... you couldn't afford him to play in your club that FYI you don't own anyway ...LMAO sit down and shut your pie hole

[@Savaril]

this would clear most dance floors... this isn't impressing anyone

[@millionairesclubllc3193]

I like how he doesn't edit the video like some other deejays and 99% of tutorials about anything on youtube. These videos are authentic.. and you showed how to get a song back on beat and improvise if this was a real gig. Now i will say for real gigs I love to freestyle being a hiphop deejay and some tracks i may not have ever played or mixed together before. That's my style, an authentic natural deejay and scratching. But for certain things like acapellas and instrumentals i'd practice so i know what goes with what, and match the bpm correctly.

[@juhagronberg4863]

And that was not a LITTLE off beat :D

[@AERIEDM]

Why not beat match? I'm not a dj but surely the whole point of mixing tracks together is so they match the bpm. It cannot be good to be off slightly, people will detect that. I don't think a club manager gives two shits about a sync button, all they care about is getting people through the door. Play a blinding set with variety in the mix to keep up the interest. Repeating 'satisfaction' one hundred times will bore people.

[@jvnoesqve]

AGREED

[@iamillasfuck]

It depends greatly on the club

[@djsonofibiza]

money is key for every club in the world

[@nuno.mp4]

i hope people understand that the "horrible mixing" that some people point out here is what a dj hears all the time mixing. in the headphones. so its not horrible, its just the mix process

[@rayanvd751989]

yes in the headphones, not for the crowd. the crowd isn't coming to the club and spending their money at that place to hear a DJ try this shit to impress a manager and fail miserably.

[@WickedWaiata]

I sometimes cringe at these lessons but then I remember, I'm not making no video tutorials for other people to criticize so its better not to be a KZbin wanker and show respect ... well done bud!!!

[@chakumbanje3470]

and here l was thinking i was the only one who thought this was shit lol

[@BigMilan]

yea i love doing things like this. whilst i haven't specifically tried THIS, i have literally had a gameboy music going into one channel as i play tetris during the set haha :)

[@FrOsTyBeArKiD]

I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while...could have saved me a third deck lol dammit

[@peterrowebiking4768]

Mate the way you carry yourself and your music was awesome, great trick and it gets it going really well right from the start, thumbs up to you

[@deejaybmar]

Way too much going on, but I respect the dude

[@martinhames3434]

Youd certainly make an impression................

[@djrachi]

you're the best dj educator i've ever come across, cheers brother!

[@Grizzly020]

that was horrible

[@harrybouchier1196]

Hi I’m harry I started djing a year ago and think that the sync button is great,my dad says my mixes are great I can’t thank pioneer enough for creating such a function

[@_stft93]

amazing tutorials and lots of fun to watch. I would like to see more numark nv video's :D

[@Ruspino]

i loved the "peeeeehfect" part :) thank you ella! nice tutorial as always!

[@albanavdyli4256]

greeetings brother thank your for the video its really helpfull , ima have to ask you and need your opinion on whats the best dj setup you prefer buying for a beginner playing in clubs ?? thank you !

[@siegfriedmasson2466]

Dude, you are quite something! thanks for all the good advices!

[@wasswa6]

i agree with you on getting a good selection of tracks , the crowd don’t really care about the sync button so does the manger ,

[@datwuffy1590]

Well hello there! I am some random non-existent total trustworthy manager! And i gotta say, that was awesome.

[@fabriceesope]

I found it useful, even though it is not your best vid. Thanks for your work !

[@nevs8997]

He’s no roger Sanchez with multiple track mixing 😂🤣🤣

[@Southend_Savage]

i love this dudes tutorials but his music selection is not my favorite.

[@jameszanghi3564]

I'm pretty sure he uses royalty free stuff

[@MichaelGreenFKAgreendubs]

+James Zanghi yeah I'm pretty sure he's using royalty free tunes for copyright reasons.

[@gewinnste]

What's wrong with the sync button? I mean, I used to DJ on two or somtimes even three 1210s back then so I didn't have that opportunity. But since it's available now and so many more fancy things, why no use it? All that matters is the resulting sound! And without the need to beatmatch manually, there's more time for other enriching effects.

[@dene542]

gewinnste that's y they are their gives u more time to manipulate the playing track. Yrs ago u spend all that time manually pitching my 1210s for ages getting it perfect All a club wants is people thro the door

[@MitchVH]

Hey Johnathan. Is there a possibility you could make a new tutorial on how to mix trance music? I've seen the few videos you did about trance many years ago, but I was wondering if you have some tips & tricks on how to mix trance with a BPM from about 130. I also feel kinda bad having to let one track almost play entirely before bringing the next one in. Cheers!

[@timwood8728]

You see I think trance is one of those genres that should let the songs play out Not quick mixing like electro house Trance music is usually 6,7,8 or even 10 + minutes long and the structure of the songs are designed to be played. Although with trance the transitions between songs can be 2 minutes + in length so beat mixing has to be good and also work the eqs. It's not about playing 40 tracks an hour

[@MitchVH]

+elvewizzy Thats what I've been trying to do lately. Using some clever cue-points to skip a decent part of the track, without losing the essence of it. Mixing on breakdowns seems possible aswell, if they're in key atleast.

[@MitchVH]

+Ironlion NLinCS I think you're exactly right about that. Although I try to keep it under 5 minutes per track, without transitions counted. Most of the times it feels right to just mix the first and last 32 bars of a track, but I'm afraid that gets boring easily and people might lose interest.

[@mikefallon4799]

+Mitch “Mitch3r” VH depends on the tracks. each track will tell you musically where to mix it to the next one. plus it's about being creative and trying out different points with different tracks. play the track in your head.

[@rasmonkey1622]

i mess around a lot wit the roll function but with individual channels i never new u can throw it on a different channel other than the ones ur using. wow fascinating

[@charliefowler7700]

How come sound was coming out when the master faders were down, pretty new to this

[@nachomartin471]

my ears heart after the first half minute of mix

[@georgeradu3298]

[@nachomartin471]

[@johndavies2919]

Are you not supposed to use the sync button then?

[@adeolajackofallTrade]

Hi bro been watching your videos before i started dj in, bro if you don't mind explain how you are can be able to play two music on one cdj thanks..

[@jacoxx11]

hey, i would like to know why the sync button its not recommended? im a beginner and found it quite good and easy to use, but maybe its not the best thing to do, thanks and sorry for bad english

[@rentzboss]

joaquin lozano It's more a "honour" thing, because with vinyls and turntables beatmatching was very hard and now old style DJ's are still convinced that you need to manually beatmatch in order to be a good DJ, I don't use sync button only because it's funnier to beatmatch but when I use equipment that I'm not used to I sync everything (because it's better to hit the button than to make the tracks sound bad)

[@DriesFontaine]

Cool to see you still making video's!

[@emmanuel-_-5092]

Your the best when it comes to motivation 😂

[@techgrande]

Hi Ellaskins! Love the videos! Could you do a video going over how to transition from like a 128ish bpm house track to a 174ish bpm drum and bass track? Thank you!

[@Smoothitis]

+elvewizzy < What this guy said. Additionally, make sure the tracks are in a compatible key and the turntables are at the same pitch. Depending on the track playing you might be able loop part of the breakdown as long as there is no drum beat, to help with the transition. I think Ellaskins has already done several videos on this topic.

Love ya bro. Don’t listen to the negative hate. Thanks for sharing and giving your time. Peace and happy new year. And BTW, Benny Benassi is a legend

[@ddoubblejcvevo5399]

It would be helpful for you to use the soundcard on your CDJ to record the output and then overlay to the video

[@Fre3flyOfficial]

This guy is a true legend and I respect his work, but this mix wasn't that good. As a club-goer or manager I wouldn't be impressed by this. I would rather prefer a simpler, but cleaner mix.

[@nicktaylor8032]

This guy is FUCKIN APPALLING

Love this guy.

[@rockstarreality8930]

Always great stuff ellaskins! =) Keep it up.

[@demofilm]

Back to my nv4 I guess,the wave forms should be in your ears and in sync

[@nic9283]

The sync button is such a trivial part of mixing and DJs still make a big deal of it. It takes up about 0.1% of the DJing process and yet staying away from it is advice that's constantly rammed down the throats of many bedroom jocks. All the sync button does is adjust the track's BPM to match the master clock's BPM. That's it. You can achieve the same result by using the tempo fader, but this takes extra time and, more importantly, depending on your tempo sensitivity settings you might not be able to land the exact decimal point meaning you're forced to settle with an inaccurate BPM. By hitting sync, there's no need to reach for the tempo fader, and the exact BPM is landed every time in under a second. Going about it the long way requires no extra skill, it's just an annoyance and contributes nothing. If, with sync, your mix sounds too mechanical, just turn your jog wheel 1mm or 2mm to throw the tracks slightly out of phase - this imperfection will give a more natural flow to the mix and will minimise any cancellation effects that often occur. I forgot to mention that with sync on, you can also change the BPM of two (or more) tracks simultaneously - try doing that with two tempo faders :)

[@mateuswaquim2812]

If you use the Sync button, You are NOT a DJ. You are just a button pusher.

[@loner__000-0]

@@mateuswaquim2812 you are just stupid

[@problemchild5409]

The majority does not really gives a shit anyways, they just wanna hear good music

[@8BP_IRELAND]

Mateus Waquim doesn’t matter if u use sync or not im a dj and all I have to say is most of the people outder doesn’t give a rats if u use sync or not all they want is just a nice drop so they can vibe to it 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@craiglammasreach1242]

Agreed but knowing how to manually I think is still a necessity as back up. If your mixing older tracks especially you still have to maintain that sync partially manually. But yes having the sync definitely allows you to be more creative within a mix

[@terbsy]

Gold mate love the humour as well

Where do you get all your tracks from?

[@worriormpeg]

what kind of equipment you have they look like pioneer cdj 2000 but I'm interested in your mixer what kind is it if u dont mind

[@biglodge]

100% real dude love your vids mate just pulled all my old vinyl out and really enjoying my sl1210s again

[@DlllonJ]

Ellaskins - Have you ever used any Allen & Heath high end mixers? e.g Xone 92 or DB series. Would like to know why you choose the Pioneer mixers over the A&H unless they sponsor you. Thanks

[@a__guy]

+DlllonJ imo the a&h mixers have a warmer sound, they sound great if you're mixing with vinyl. but for serato or cdjs the warmness doesn't really translate so in that situation the pioneer stuff is better just because of the range of effects and cool gizmos. just my opinion though :)

[@yaril9191]

Hey, i love your video's ! It learns me a lot with becomming a good dj, If i just could ask 1 question, I want to get a new dj set, but i dont know which one to buy and i dont have a long range of cash for it too ( max is 1000.-), which one has a nice display, with USB-drive (and cd), has standard features, has quepoints (not like the CDJ800) and is good to improve more for learning? (doing this for almost a year, ur vids helped a lot! )

[@MultiPotzBlitz]

+Y- Yari Maybe you can get a DJM-800 (without built in souncard) and 2 CDJ 1000 MK3 for about 1000 (2nd Hand). You can later upgrade to a DJM-850 or a DJM 750 which have a soundcard built in, or use a Rane SL 2-4 so you can use DJ Software and Timecode! I know the CDJ´s don´t have the best Display, but they´re pretty solid Hardware and you get the feeling of CDJ Universe. :-) By the way, they have been club standard for many years! The whole setup looks like this: en.audiofanzine.com/tabletop/pioneer/cdj-1000-mk3/medias/pictures/a.play,m.392461.html And finally you can add Performance pads like the Reloop neon to get the full spectrum.

[@undscvrd4990]

Hey elleskins could you teach me how to transit trap (75) and house (128) music constantainously?

[@KadenceMusicOfficial]

+Air AQW You could drop the trap track down to 64 BPM, which would mix with 128.. It's called mixing in half-time (128 divided by 2 = 64). Also, you can try mixing on the breakdown.. once the playing song hits the breakdown on the 1 count, play the next track's breakdown as well .. fading one song out and the other song in. Hard to explain in words, but give it a shot!

[@djsimonrossprice9400]

the words you said are very informative bug u better use that sync button bro lol

[@aaronproteau8130]

Can someone please explain this to me? I use the "sync" button all the time to make sure that my tracks are going at the same exact beat. This guy, however, makes it seem like pressing the sync button is bad. What are the pros and cons of using the sync button?

[@awesomeguy4733]

It isn't terrible, but its not great. A good dj should be able to beatmatch. And using 'sync' isn't always the most reliable.

[@Soevern]

+aaron proteau it is basicly an easier way of mixing, so people will get mad because you dont put effort in the mix. i dont know why it is a big deal but whatever..

[@krzysztof2923]

Because, if you will play on setup without "magic sync button" YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MIX CUZ YOU CANT BEATMATCH. I think everyone should start djing using turntables, learning beatmatching properly and then move to CDJs etc.

[@Annoyed120]

there's much more to mixing than beat matching........... if beat matching was all there is about mixing, computers would have replaced DJs long ago..

[@christolongers]

for people that have started out on 1210s and spent months/ years learning to beat match by letting go of a record and speeding up or slowing down a big ass heavy platter by running your finger slowly around the centre of the record or tapping it slightly and snapping vinyls in frustration like myself it's awful to see someone come along select a track,then press two buttons with no effort and it's matched,a 3 year old could do that part now,not only that it is quite vital to learn anyway because you don't know what kind of equipment you will come across ,some may not have sync and even then tracks may not be analysed properly on software and sync won't actually work.

[@SyntheticLTD]

Hell yeah man that shit bangs!!
