Great video! It would be awesome to see a roadmap video for starting to learn DJing without going in deep, covering basic equipment to start and techniques to master. It's evident that the level of mastery you have is just insane, and I'd love to try DJing , while having clear technical goals in mind. I'm sure you could create a solid plan for anyone looking to develop their skills and take this genre to the next level over time.
Great idea, and thanks for the kind message. My area of expertise is with Traktor and with controllers, so I’d have to be specific to that. I can explain how i got from there to here perhaps.
@@djbonlando Is it a good setup to start, or is it too advanced in your opinion? Would it be better to start with a basic, entry-level controller and practice the basics first or it's manageable if you commit to it?
@@Neoncrusader-oo1ij it's pretty advanced to start this way. I started my digital journey with the Traktor S4 like 15 years ago. I reccommend that for sure
@djbonlando I do have a Novation Circuit Rhythm, a sampler with a sequencer. Can I plug it in and use it on a channel while mixing with the other channels? I think I can emulate a bit of the 'hybrid mixing' you are doing so well and quickly add a layer to work with into that direction ?
Great advice. I dont know most of my collection well. I compensate by using 8 cue points and knowing when incoming track lyrics start. I use 4 decks & adding 2 more soon.
@djbonlando I was wondering if as a beginner, would you recommend a 4 channel controller or a setup similar to yours? I have a ddj flx4, a have some experience with turntables but I would like more possibilities with 4 channels unlike the limitations of 2 channels. I 2as thinking of getting a s4 mk3 and starting to use traktor instead of rekordbox.
@user-eo3ph1jn8e i definitely recommend the S4. I had the MK2 for a good 10 years and it is the reason i got so proficient at 3-4 decks. If you want to up your game and get into multi channel mixing, Traktor is the way to go. When you get more comfortable with it, and start getting gigs, controllers like the K2 (or a pair of the new X1s) are the best upgrade as i believe an external mixer is better than the S4 as far as sound quality and EQs go, but the MK3s are pretty damn sweet so you could get away with that controller for a long time.
@djbonlando thank you for the quick reply, I appreciate you feedback and again, thank you for taking the time to make your videos because they are simple and straight to the point and very informative. Just goes to show you don't need to make fancy videos to help people.

@Neoncrusader-oo1ij are you using Ableton and Traktor?

6 decks?
Your videos are great and informative. Thank you
much appreciated!
