there are other programs, BUT!! once you buy serato you have it for good and expensive vinyl is the thing of the past. But this is only if you cant afford vinyl or cant get hole of it easy!! j

[@ellaskins]

have you thought of serato scratch live?, you get to use vinyl but you use the music off your pc. j

[@ellaskins]

just happend, could be all pc next month, or cdj, or cdj, vinyl and cd, j

[@ellaskins]

internal fuse? dodgy switch on the back? j

[@prasiatenko]

But if you mix in Trance in the middle you lose the journey, because Trance lifts and then chills and if you mix another tune in the middle of lifting part (breakdown for example) you´ll lose the atmosphere of the first track. But there are some departures of the rules.

@deinemodda Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, more instruction the best thing, plus the friendly returns it the best one, but without loyalty without the cable people would buy the deaf person of dmc of the person--The donkey the films of the instruction, than does not obtain the objective, if you had ways, than before ten years he had had, in a station of the very better work would be

[@realDJCrazyAaron]

@djjamingman well metal and rock is a different beast, you cant really do a whole lot but crossfade between songs at the outro/intro and try to blend them as much as you can so you dont have to hear silence and i think thats why most dj's get into electronic music, cause there's more to work with just my opinion anyways

[@subfusion01]

@deinemodda Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, if the new and excellent selections had shaken, the one little gradico the method, that has begun at the outset first sistemazione, benassi of Benny and the type of the assassins of the asterisk of ruined the scene with its poisons

[@Tulhera]

@DJChafe Those styles you`ve mentioned house/techno/trance are made for djs, they have intro and outro to make the mix easier and smoother. Some other styles arent made for djs, they are mainstream commercial tunes and have 10 sec intro. Hip Hop usualy(not always) doesn`t have that intro and outro bit, so you gotta know a bit of scratching to make good mixes. The other styles you asked about, pretty much, be creative, use some filter or an echo and make a smooth transition. Good luck mate! ;-)

[@ramzevans]

listen, the person that wrote that was trying to say a) they don't want to read about your woes, and, b) you answered your own question. what i mean by this is - if you're playing at an electro/commercial house club, or even a party where the majority of people are part of the electro house subculture, you'll get a response in the form of the crowd responding well (ie dancing). But you misjudged your crowd as they clearly liked top 40 and you decided to play your own brand of electronica.

[@drummelo]

man, first of all, gratz for ur skill and ur videos,u are a greath teacher and a very good dj. There is a thing i need to know,i don't undestand..:( When u start a mix,and u have xfade in the center with both tracks on, u must reduce the low tone level of one of 2 tracks or can u continue to mix both tracks with the same low tone level? Coz i'm scary for a low tone level overload on the speakers! O_O Sorry for this kid questions,but i'm really a beginner :( And soz for my bad english. :|

[@DjTurt]

i think that this only apllies to dance music djs (hard house hard style etc) it seems that all these dj do is make a sort or compilation mix rather than a propa mixing about mix. i mix dnb and i double drop my choons and dnt just string them along when 1 choon is finishing. this dulls the mix so double droping brings loads of energy to the mix. i have neva herd a hardcore,hard dance ect dj double drop!!??

[@sebadoby96]

hey J im kinda new to dj stuff but if i buy a behringer eurolive b212d PA and a pioneer dj controller do i need another mixer or can i just plug in the PA`s inte the inbuilt mixer from the controller? and im also wondering if i dont have the controller and dont have a mixer can I still play music whith my PA`s connected to an ipod or another source? please need answer :)

[@DJChafe]

has any one thaught about mixing slow songs?? M N M when I'm gone -- R Kelly I believe can fly -- Out cast, Ms. Jackson -- Chevelle The clencher -- Brian Adams everything I do I do it for you -- AHA Take me on -- Mr. Big To be with you?? why is that all the "how to" mixes I find are all done with "dance" house/techno/trance music?? what about rock/metal and balads??

[@djartifact]

Lots of songs start with a beat. Lots of club mixes do. The total tracklength is about 6 of 7 min. The way explained in the video with remembering times doesn't work for me. Start track 2 at the beginning, when track 1 begins with te climax. most music has 64 bars (4 beats) for every part. So theoreticly when the climax of track 1 stops, the climax of track 2 should begin.

[@slytown]

Mixing the end and beginning of tracks is so boring to me. I'm all about making each set different from the previous. Just don't see the point of simply playing tracks one after another. I guess lots of people do that, but I'm really into knowing ur tracks and creating completely new songs out of existing songs, as well as making ur own new tracks/loops/samples completely.

[@danielc1764]

personally I try and use cutting techniques or samples that flow in to the next song with a distinct BPM jump or sometimes abruptly end the previous song (in a cheeky sort of manner) using the same techniques. Would be very curious to hear what others do though.

[@christianpiwowar]

to shadowquestion, hey mate im in the same situation as you, i have a low budget and i dont know what to buy. i've been investigating about the stanton c314, and they seem nice to me, especially for a beginner, because they offer you a lot of functions and best of all at an affordable price

[@xnocomplyx]

ye, mixing in the middle of tracks is true mixing in my opionion. mixing the last 32 and first 32 beats of every track becomes boring. by the way greet you adam! ^^ "i can't get no sleep..." sing*

[@Tageolsson]

@Shitfuck341 if you're playing a track in 80 bpm and want to go to a track that has 100 bpm, you could change track at the drop if you know what i mean :) but it's hard to go from 80 to 130 bpm directly, wouldn't be so easy to dance to that mix ;)

[@gerardtrees1]

Hello, I'm new in dj land :) I had a question. How you guys make sure the beat starts excactly when you push play on the cd player of your dj set. Sometimes, the beat starts a little bit later then the start of the song. Please help!

[@ThugRandles]

lol @ 2:24 This is a good point though, people who don't listen to EDM ask me how I can listen to ASOT for 2 hours all at once- or they'll ask me why they need a DJ if they have a playlist on their ipod. And this is basically what I tell them xD

[@djmarcatkins01]

This is nothing new! Dj's like Sasha, Digweed, Carl Cox, Dave Seaman and Nick Warren have been doing this for years. It's the reason why people say Sasha's sets are so memorable, when he mixes tracks together its like he's made a new track!!!!

[@ShadowQuestion]

hey jonathan i have a question for u plz help. i was wondering if u would advise me to get the C.314 cdj from stanton or the T80 vinyl turntable from stanton because i would prefer to scratch vinyl but its IMPOSSIBLE to find vinyl shops here...... thx mate

[@drywall15]

i've been doing the same thing using ni traktor working on a mix where it's track after track after track, so on and so forth. makes for MUCH more interesting mixes

[@djartifact]

make sure that you watch the clip-leds(usually red) on your amp. If they don't light up, youre safe. keep in mind that when youre mixing, the main volume will go up, simply because youre playing 2 tracks.

[@DJSteveDee]

Hi Mate, Your Videos are great, This has helped me a lot with my mixing. Also watched alot of your other videos. Great stuff !!! Thanks alot. Good man. !!!! Cheers. Steve Dee.

[@TrixstaJonesy]

@gerardtrees1 you need to press the play/pause button twice and then press the cue button that way the song wont start from the beginning the song will start were ever you paused it

[@TrixstaJonesy]

@gerardtrees1 you need to press pause on the spot were you want the beat to come in press pause twice and then press the cue button and then the beat will come in strait away

[@Crazymanbang]

@Shitfuck341 Make it half BPM of the other track then. U can take the 80bpm track to 65, and keep the other one at 130bpm. Or play a little with it, as 80bpm is quite slow..

[@foulmouthc1]

to dj Turt that is asking for allsort but what ever, this vid is about knowing your tunes, each track may have multiple drop in points and the new tune will determine the best one to pick.

[@elzieny050]

good job man and good teaching ......but i want to know whats the difference between this dj setup and the dj setup with the disk..plzplzplz i want an answer

[@Tageolsson]

I would be really careful using this type of mixing, cause there's no worse partypoop then when the dj switches track at your favourite part of a song.

[@DJChafe]

@Tulhera aahhhh yes, creative is fun but make a chalange and try somthing like jazz/blues mixed into house/techno!! I'd love to c some one try that!!

[@korsager]

would be better if you had chosen two songs that were more different to each other.. Those club-house tracks are to easy to mix into each other..

[@defected86]

Hi m8, excellent tutorial. I can leanr so much from your videos! Very well done! ;) Please make more some mixes :) - Hansen.

[@gerardtrees1]

@darkitachi50 but I think I found the solution. When I hit cue the song starts excactly at the beginning. Thanks anyway

[@RichieDuffster]

Fair play you put a lot of time into ur clips. You have a lot of dedication. any how tnx for the tips. Keep her lit bud

[@scarysk8kid]

So it is 1:52 a.m. in L.A. California and guess wat Ima go practice mixing with this new knowledge u just gave. thnx!

[@FoxMintcandyGaming]

serato scratch is GOOD, but really expensive. Is there another equipment like that, but cheaper?

[@mistnidydzej5102]

oh my god !!! man i saw your vid in past and i dont know your channel i just forgot it and i now buy 400 pio find some vids and then u jump from monitor !!! HEUREKKKAAAAAA hey i can give u subscribe after many years now "!!! :) nice channel hjust do what u do cy gl

[@wrestlemaniac202]

Is it a good idea to bring in a song near the end of another song like in the last :30-:15 seconds of the song?

[@SHOR78R34D96]

Which kit should i look into getting for a beginner wanting to mix 2 tracks by CD with effects?? thanks.

[@djbooda]

I never thought of a "journey" concept... Will have to try i with my hard trance mixes... thanks

[@ziomek777c]

techno and house are easy to mix - try rap , r&b or dancehall - datz real school ... :> Yaw !

[@prasiatenko]

If you mix Trance it´s not possible to mix in the middle of track.

[@ajalbury3]
