I watched about 20+ videos from a lot of channels for my beginner djing found it difficult. But this guy make it really simple to understand and repeat. Bravo man. Thank you so much.
I use all three, but even though my favorite is the third one, I use the echo out more than any other technique. It's quick; it's easy and it gets the job done.
As a super beginner Dj, transition #1 blew my mind and 2 and 3 just pumped me up and got me even more excited to learn to DJ. Love Crossfader videos; everything is explained extremely well and eases up the anxiety of learning how to do this. Thank you!🙏 💕 #WeAreCrossfader #WeAreCrossfader #WeAreCrossfader
The first one was very useful for me. I didn't realise you had to pull the faders down for the echo to activate on these controllers. Definitely useful to know when I get my DDJ-1000! Thanks Crossfader!
Great video, thanks for the clear demonstrations. I just started learning DJing a couple days ago and I'm having a blast learning/practicing transition 2. Looking forward to trying out transition 3 once I get the hang of number 2.
@Ryan Toth lol jokes on you ... I did at the club recently last Saturdayand some girl sucked my dick that night!! Lol jk..nah..but someone gave me a tip
@@christ2664 well as a Dj you feel more confident about your skills if you did that but in reality, he's right, the crowd doesn't care. So yea it could be a personal learning experience that you can apply in your future sets to improve yourself as a DJ and you should care less what other people think of you cause they have no idea what are you trying to do.
#WeAreCrossfader . Love your clarity & explanation Jamie - Transition 3 is preferred choice...... & the one I'm now working on that's slowly coming to fruition . Thank you for your expert guidance and highly professional tuition !
I really was surprised to learn something after a decade of not playing out? Method 2 taught me something about my new equipment- in my time, it was all vinyl and pretty minimal effects - the echo is a great method!
I like all 3 transitions but # I've been trying but not master it as yet. I also would like to see you do some transitions with dancehall and soca genres.
#wearecrossfader #1 transition is useful for quick cuts or mix from cue points #2 is good for open format djs as it utilizes echo location and fade away #3 is my preferred transition that is evenly balanced with tempo range control and 4 beat loops but a bit more complex to learn. Great tutorial and very insightful about bpm, tempo ranges, fader control, counting bars and transitions. 💯
That transition into Skrillex - The Reason was actually a giga chad move. also i think that songs with a long white noise sweep in the breakdown work best for that first transition technique, but its very hard to find songs with these type of breakdowns in them.
My favourite transition is mix 3. As the track playing slows down gets the crowd wondering, "whats he gonna play now?". Dope mix. Big shout-out to all the 'Crossfader' massive!
#WeAreCrossfader 3: Close toss up between #2 and #3. But #3 is more technical and bigger payout for the audience. Glad to have seen them all actually. Extremely useful techniques for a casual DJ looking to grow after a few years as a hobby.
#WeAreCrossfader I’m going to have to go with 2 for it’s simplicity and it’s ability for a beginner DJ to switch genres easily (with some practice of course). I think learning the third transition is the most beneficial because it teaches so many skills at once i.e. tempo adjust, looping, and just learning your music. Thanks for using different controllers in this tutorial as well #WeAreCrossfader
2 and 3 are favourite, but all can be used. Dj ing isn't simple and there are so many ways to be creative, theres never one answer for all. Keep up the good work!
#WeAreCrossfader My favourite was # 2 in terms of real-world use, and repeatability. # 3 is the most impressive but I wouldn’t want to do it more than once in a set. Great video, thanks!
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 3 This also works well the other way around, slow to fast. Also looping the intro beat on the incoming track and using sync to speed up/slow down while crossing the EQs over and releasing the loop to finish works well too. Great videos and ideas guys, thank you for what you do.
Thank you. I am starting out and have to work with lots of different genres of music in each set. Really great to get examples of this and simple demo of the 'how to'.
#wearecrossfader I enjoyed the the 3rd one the best I’ve just started the Rekordbox beginner course so once I’m comfortable mixing I’ll be trying these transitions for sure!
#WeAreCrossfader So I have two favorites, transition 1 & transition #3. I actually took your beginner's course a couple of weeks ago and I have been using transition 3 quite a lot and it's my absolute favorite! I can create some amazing mixes to any genre 💕💕
I didn't like transition 1 because of needing to use a break in the music to go to the next song. I liked transition 2 a lot because I think the echo transition is a lot easier to use. Transition 3 was the coolest, but it would definitely take me some practice to get the loop, tempo, and song synced perfectly. I think the two songs you chose for that one would be a bit difficult for me because of the off-beat start of song 2. It had to be started on the 4 which would be kind of a weird count.
All 3 are good, but my favourite is the second one. Keep like that, I have the Channel as one of my favourites.👏👏👏 I hope to be Lucky by the first time in my life.😉 Cheers from Spain.✋
Great Tips! Thank You. I did enjoy all three, however, I appreciated the third transition best of all. Obviously it was/is the most difficult transition to master. But I can't be a great DJ if I just do the easy stuff!
#WeAreCrossfader Transition no 1 😍 Really appreciate your hard work on intermediate course. This course focuses on basics which is the ultimate secret of pro djing . I wish i could also afford your advance course !
#WeAreCrossfader The echo out (#2) is my get-out-of-jail card, but if I can find a way, it's much better to get creative and use tone play, word plays, or at least sync them up like in #3.
#WeareCrossfader Like most comments I am also going with 3 for the win, it provides a better flow into the second track and keeps the mix alive. Great stuff Jamie, by far the best explained Dj tutorials on TH-cam, keep them coming.
Man I remember going every friday night at a club in Austin Texas to watch a DJ spin on technics 1200s trying to watch and learn.. 26 years later y’all got it in ten minutes on TH-cam lol
Ghedion92 I agree, it kinda reminds me of when I had my first set of belt drives and a huge miss Mach of records, this was basically the only way I could do any mixing without it sounding like pots and pans
I think you were late on all of them and screwed with the phrasing too much. I wouldn't have 4 counted a break on the 1st and just dropped it flush, on the second I would have set the echo effect to actually echo at the bpm of the incoming track and mix into the echo, then dropped the third transition in 8 beats earlier.
@@hoi5162 Right, I mean, why even try to advance yourself at all. If you read my comment and thought about it I think you will find it was quite constructive. You should give what I said a try and see if you think it sounds better before chiming in with your wonderfully toxic advice.
Definitely Number 3 is my favorite. Just know your song mixing points real good. Plus make sure your mixing songs with Compatible Keys that go well together. Then you mix will be dead on with the other techniques shown in this video. Most importantly, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. That way you can rock the crowd without using headphones.
#WeAreCroasfader I love using number 3. I often pick a good vocal loop or just a beat loop. Echo out is a great all purpose quick mix too! Thanks for the great video.
danaoshana was saying the same lol like playlist on Spotify even tho the first two techniques were in a good controller and the last one was in a toy one 😂🥴
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 1 was my favourite because it is so simple and I’m an amateur so this would suit me the best. Transition 3 is so good though so hopefully I can get to this level at some point!
Hey Jaime. I really enjoy transition three. its not too complicated for a more advanced DJ whom knows what they are doing. A great idea to slow the loop in time with the slower music. Thanks
#WeAreCrossfader the third transition would be my pick. Great for transitions with a big difference in bpm. Thanks for the tutorial, I wished I didn't spend my money on a '"physical" dj course 4 lessons in of 6 and haven't learned a thing.
#WeAreCrossfader Number 2 and 3. Tho using 1 and 2 properly makes a smooth transition between tracks. Hopefully I'll get to master and combine these techniques in a near future since I'm a rookie for now. Great vids btw. Cheers.
I liked the tempo change in the loop to switch to the next song. I’ve been looking for someone to show me this, and I didn’t know if DJs use it. Thanks a lot!
#WeAreCrossfader Im in a tie between #1 or #3. #1 allows for really quick mixing, however #3 is alot more clean and i feel like theres alot of possible combinations you could do with #3.

Transition 3 was def my favorite. The slowdown of the loop going into the intro of "How We Do" was so freaking cool
😂
I read this comment before i reached 11:50 and was wondering why you liked it so much...stopped wondering at 11:58 😂 really nice stuff 👌
Looping is a Savior for sure. I just never thought about using it like this👌 awesome idea
That’s house beat is not the intro for how we do tho

Mixing tech 3 is my favorite. Seem to be more intricate but engaging the crowd.
#WeAreCrossfader transition 3 because it is the most technical and sounds the best to my ears. I enjoy doing/learning the more technical transitions
Transition 3 is my favourite as it's the most natural for the listener and requires a bit more skill from the dj haha

wish I had tutorials like this in the 90s when I started djing.
🤣🤣🤣
me too
We did... they were called "raves"
Or echo out
#WeAreCrossfader transition 3 is my favourite for the skill and smoothness. Though transition 2 is a lifesaver when needing to mix out quickly

I typically use 1 & 3
I have been playing with using roll and eco and killing it with the filter as I bring on the next track. Can’t wait to try these!!!
Learned transition 3 today! Thankyou the tutorial
That transition into Skrillex - The Reason was actually a giga chad move.

Dont touch sync.
@@kwesiquick6894 why not? It's a tool available so why not use it for some transitions?
Thanks Jamie - Very informative. Transitions 1 & 2 I get... #3 will take some practice. I appreciate the guidance. All the best
#WeAreCrossfader 1: Transition 1 is my favourite as it is so simple yet so effective. The other two transitions are really good too.
#WeAreCrossfader
My favorite transition is #3, it's such a good technique to use at the club. It sounds like you really know what you're doing.
Always quality tutorials & mixes from crossfader 🔥🔥
I'm super new... obviously the first may be used more at this stage, but I enjoyed watching them all

Transition 1 is crucial for open format DJs!

Transition 3 is preety cool. Liked that you switched around your DJ controllers. Cheers
The first one seems like stopping and starting, there’s nothing then a huge difference in tempi out of nowhere, feels strange to my ears.
Excellent DJ training.....I can use the 2 and 3 technics......Thanks so much....
