Hey where is the link to download stems onto a ddjflx4 controller :)

[@BB-hk2te]

Hey Carlo, Ive been able to download the link for the ddj400 STEMS but i seem to be having a problem. Ive been able to get the STEMS function on RekordBox, but I still cant get the function to work on the ddj400 itself with the Shift Key + Sampler. it still brings to the key shift function. If you can help me out with this or point me in the right direction that would be amazing. Thank You!

[@stevenh1]

I've been using Rekordbox for about 3 years now and this video has opened my eyes to settings I never even knew existed! Thanks Carlo, amazing video!

[@djcarlo]

For sure Steven! That's why I put this video together; some of the settings took me months to discover, and I was actively tinkering with it!

[@DJRND17]

I'm a brand new DJ, but your content has been teaching me so much. Its like learning a new instrument. I really appreciate all of the free content and hope to be able to pay it back someday!

[@djcarlo]

You're very welcome RND! Welcome to the DJ world, and I'm glad my tutorials are helping you out a lot!

[@_AvgWellInformedCitizen]

EVERY DJ WILL LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS VIDEO I been DJing with Serato since release (2002?) using the Rane SL-1 box with my vinyls, on my classic Pioneer DJM-600. I’m so old skool that I was pretty much clueless about my settings until I watched this.

[@djcarlo]

And now, you're gonna have an even better time playing around with Serato!

[@RichDuckKing]

It always makes me feel good when I see you recommend things I’ve been doing ever since I started mixing. Things like using cue points to mark specific sections in a track. It just made sense to me to have a visual representation of the bridge or the breakdown and build-up, etc. One thing I’ve noticed about my timing, I do FAR better cueing in the next track when I’m not looking at my display. When I do it by ear, I hit it dead on like 95% of the time.

[@djcarlo]

That's awesome to hear! 😊 It's always great when techniques like using cue points resonate with your own mixing style. Having visual cues for different sections really helps, doesn't it? Keep rocking those mixes!

[@chinno1234]

Does the que point markers setup in dj studio get transferred to serato too.

[@djhyper177]

Thanks you man. I started my dj journey with you. I get a ddj 200 for Christmas and i watch your videos and i make progress. Im 11 years old and i want to be a dj one day

[@djcarlo]

That's awesome dude! You're so young and eager! Keep that fire alive and keep learning!

[@djhyper177]

​@@djcarlo Thank you.

[@alpham8754]

I saw this at a colleague of mine: I think the best layout for Serato DJ Pro is when you have your decks right and left, so that the wave form can be in the same line. It's long enough and you got a higher library, especially when you got sampler pane all the time enabled like me.

[@djcarlo]

That's a clever setup! Having your decks side by side does make a lot of sense, especially when you want a more expansive view of the waveform. It's all about finding what works best for your workflow. Do you find it enhances your performance having everything laid out that way?

[@RoChagasFreitas]

This video helped a lot with setting up my Rekordbox. I'm migrating from Djay Pro to Rekordbox and this video helped me a lot to improve my software and feel more comfortable with it. Congrats and keep making great content.

[@djcarlo]

@DjCarlo please advise me what to do to have an echo effect in the microphone because ddj400 does not have this option🫤

[@djcarlo]

That you may need to run through an external device. Or upgrade to a higher-end controller

[@PioTreQ1983]

Cheers pal 👊

[@Brightnessize]

Can you help with similar instructions on Traktor as well?! Because both Rekordbox and Serato are quite simple and relatively easy to configure, while Traktor is pretty much more complex…

Hi Carlo, I am a newbie to DJ. You are the best DJ to explain all these on YT. Very clear logical, and explain very well. The most appreciated is your enthusiasm, comparing to other videos~~ I believe this is your nature personalities.

[@umbra_ydn]

Appreciate you and your content so much, Carlo! You joked about DJ's paying taxes in one video, and I commented that I guess I'd have to start DJing. And you commented and laughed. So, I bought an FLX4 and have been going at it for about a month now with the guidance of your videos. I asked you on another video about where to get music - thank you so much for including the DJ pools segment in this video. Excited to see what you do in this new year!

[@kenneperrymusic]

In the 7th part of your tutorial you talk about when it's time to start the next song you give an example of correct and wrong way to start a mix. I think it's important to mention why those points are the start for a next mix. And you don't need to know each song by heart for this. The power of 32 is something i repeat over and over again to starters. Except for Drum and Base it's what always comes back in every genre. When counting the beats in a song it comes always back and each time the first kick comes, it's a good point to start (understanding the technology before trusting on it) It takes a few sets with counting beats to let it go in your human system and once they understand the power of 32, they will enjoy mixing more and enjoy music much stronger. And there are tricks to learn how to match the beats without a sync or helping tools. The first old school dj mixing tool is the power of 32 beats. And understanding why it's ok to tick the red zone in a table is ok but when the red light on a fader stays on is not, is an important thing to know, Mixing without sync is very easy is you (prelisten with low tones out) the moment you turn it on and turn off the other is the moment to change the headphones to prelisten to the track without the low tones) In a live band it's also always the drummer who is in charge of the tempo, to match two different tempo's it's much easier to correct the difference. Even experienced dj's will not be to mix a full set correctly, if they try to match the beat with the beatless track. That said, I want to say that I find your tutorial very useful for starters.

[@djcarlo]

One hundred percent agree on the 32s! I Just didn't delve into it here as I felt like that needed an entirely different video altogether (and it's not always true for all songs. Some have odd signatures and measures). I did make a video on manual beatmatching too, as I feel like that, in itself, needed it's own video! Given, those are great tips and techniques you put forth here!

how tight the latency can be depends on the state of your computer .It needs to be clean .The fans need to be in good order as do all the connections and if its old you might want to think about upgrading as dj software has had a lot of changes lately and even my eight core beast is getting a little out of breath.

I thought those latency settings are there to set how long will the sound card buffer the sound, so that it plays without delay or any noticable clicks? Another thing I'd like to know: I see you often playing on computer-based controllers. Would you prefer those on gigs or all-in-one controllers?

[@djcarlo]

Absolutely! You nailed it with the latency settings. Adjusting the buffer ensures that you get smooth playback without any delays or annoying clicks. It's like fine-tuning your performance for the best experience. Great observation! Computer-based controllers offer a lot of flexibility, but the choice between them and all-in-one controllers often comes down to personal preference. Do you enjoy the versatility of computer-based setups, or do you prefer the simplicity of an all-in-one unit? It's all about finding what feels right for you! I often just use whatever is available!

[@alpham8754]

@@djcarlo Well, my colleagues said to use professional Pioneer hardware, so that it's possible to send songs to the console across multiple laptops. But to be honest, how often would you use this feature? In my case rarely, so I think of getting a Denon Prime 4+, because it offers samplers and stems. And I can still then analyze the songs at home for CDJ's using Rekordbox

Awesome tips for beginners!! But it seemed that its more for Rekordbox than Serato towards to end, unless it's the same settings for both.

[@djcarlo]

Indeed, I found more settings for Rekordbox. Serato was a lot more straightforward, hence the slight imbalance

[@jhavoc81]

@@djcarlo LOL. I've just gotten back into DJ'ing again. I have a DDJ SB and now SB3. Any good pointers you recommend?

[@DiPalma1982]

I may be missing something in my current configuration (relatively new to this). But DJ Studio export is only worth it if you use Rekordbox, for example, if you use Serato DJ Pro. You will only get the songs in order. When you import them, you get no Hot Cues created. So, none of the "cool things" you show on the video to help you pick transition points will work for Serato users. If I am mistaken, please correct me. Otherwise, make that clear in the video. Everything else is useful and accurate, so thank you for this and all the other videos.

[@djcarlo]

Good eye! From what I recall, it's mostly for Rekordbox. DJ.Studio works better in exporting for Rekordbox for now, though they may be working on more Serato-oriented features in the future.

Probably a dumb question, but how do I add the stems to deck 2? They work beautifully on deck 1.

[@djcarlo]

They should work with both decks! What happens when you apply stems to deck 2?

[@chungiemusic]

@@djcarlo they def do and I didn't realize. Thank you!

Great tut Carlo, i Just discover you and im so glad, but im using tracktor, i will try to find these settings

[@djcarlo]

Thanks Emax! Yes, most of these should exist in Traktor, though not all unfortunately

[@ZirDjMba]

This is awesome information, thanks 🙏🏽

[@djcarlo]

For sure! Hope you got to apply some new ones for your software!

Thanks Nickster! Hope you found some good new settings for your program!

The buffer size in my Rekordbox software on my machine was already set to 5.3 ms .. should I leave it alone or bump it up to 8 like in your example? (New to DJ'ing New DDJ-FLX4 - asked to DJ a wedding next month in addition to performing - solo guitar singer/songwriter) - thank you for all your videos they've been very helpful.

[@djcarlo]

You should be fine! Given that your computer can handle it, I think you're good!

[@mattb4rd]

@@djcarlo *Hi5* .. My wife asked me "WOW, how'd you do that?" - "My new friend DJ Carlo taught me!" -- then I played some music.

Hi carlo, love the videos and learnt a lot, i am just starting the jounrey and finding it hard to practice & dont know from where to start, could u please help

[@djcarlo]

Everyday practice with your favorite tracks in random order is one way to start! That way, you know your songs, but you can keep things fresh
