There's a misconception nowadays about Dj'n, you go and buy a software program you install it and you are a DJ, or so you think! Dj'n is really an art form, you must learn music, sound equipment, lights and you must learn how to read the crowd etc, etc. So think about it, the money is there but so are the drugs, girls, sleepless nights, drunks, fights, equipment failures and insecurity, one day you work the next ? It's a lot of fun just have to be professional about it.
Fellow sydneyite, I have been djing for 30 years and come across alot of DJ's in my time from New Zealand to Northern Territory and you sir have the best demeanour and way of teaching I've come across, bless you brother... Hopefully I get to meet you one day👍❤
I have been dj'n for some time, but never knew the terminology for most of the things I was doing. It was just natural to me as I learned from an older uncle of mine and watching him. Your vids really helped explain these concepts and the verbage used in the field. Awesome and keep it up!
I must also say thank you...this video really taught me alot...had been struggling for couple months until watching and re-watching this. Then putting it into practise... it really clicked!
Amazing video. Started out DJing with some introductory knowledge on beat matching, looping and had some genre specific music structure knowledge that allowed me to make some decent mixes. However, I wanted to learn some techniques for hip-hop and DJing in general. I have to say, this video was it for me. Just recently got into EQ manipulation so I could grasp what you were doing with your mixes. Great video for those who are new to the game like myself. Thank you.
WOW. That's was such a cool video. I really have learnt so much over the past 2 months watching all of your videos and I'm super excited to try mixing some hiphop because I've only ever mixed, techno, house and tech house. Thank you so much and please keep the videos coming 🤩🤩🤩
Your timing for this video is PERFECT! This weekend I'm DJ-ing on a party and I was soo stressed about mixing hip hop but thank God for your video! Thanks for helping great one
Another splendid video with great pointers on how to master mixing. You're cementing your way into being the best mixing instructor on youtube. I dont think that there is a person who comments on your posts that isnt being 100% sincere when they say that you are by far the most enthusiastic, exciting, and informational teacher. Im on the intermediate course on crossfader, but cant wait to purchase your course next to further keep learning. Cheers from Buffalo, NY!
I've struggled with hip hop for a while now this has given me the answers thanks again Andrew I've learnt so much from you in a short time ill be signing up soon to your course on pay day to give back to you what you've shown me thank you insta followed 😊
Having your background, and being where your from. Makes your tutorials just a pleasure to watch. Your experience and knowledge make for a great teaching tool for all DJs new to pro. Thank you and I'll promote your courses cause you are the truth in club ready period! 💯
I appreciate you!! I’m a beginner and just starting to learn everything about Djing. Your video pops up to my recommendation. Thanks for this!! I do really love mixing hiphop!
i like to extend the mixes by looping the intro without voices and beatmatch for 16 bars, so the audience can enjoy the blend and i have more fun. 10 seconds blend is too sharp i think. what do yall think?
sick tips andrew but sometimes i find using radio edits work better than intro edits because the intro edits have bass on them so it can sound a bit heavy when you come in espeically if youre mixing in the chorus and when you swap the bases on the 5th bar the incoming song can over power the chorus of the current song for the remaining 4 bars as oppose to a track with a short intro and no bass but mids where you'd loop it and echo out the exiting track.
You were so lovely with the transitions bro🙏 Do you produce music and i want to learn how to produce Techno.. please do a vide on producing Techno music 🙏
Hey Andrew. In your course you are doing 8 bars of beatmatching, then 8 bars of mixing in and then bass swapping on the next 1. in this example here you swap the bass after 4 bars. Is this because HipHop has more like a 4 bar phrasing rather than 8? Thanks for all your videos and your course is amazing man! It transformed my mixing!
Why do you like rolling the eq instead of volume fader? Is it total kill eq mixer? Follow up q: do you always mix into first chorus/verse? When would be appropriate not to?
Mix into 2nd chorus/verse. This gives you enough time for next track. Also gives audy a chance to dance a sing along. Sometimes you gotta change after 1st chorus/verse but really its up to you.
Do a video on how to mix Latino music (don't really know the name of the genre ) it's great for when you want to please the crowd at a summer party and you help me a lot with mixing thank you
It'd be great if you recorded your voice with a close mic as it seems there is a little bit of echo while you talk. It may be harder to understand some words for non-native English speakers like me. Thanks for the vids!
Why can't u transfer your google play music to rekordbox when it says u can. It will not do it, I was told to transfer to iTunes then u can? Is this true and I was told u have to download another app to tramsfer to rekord box?? Please help 🙏 Thank you in advance
Has anyone successfully signed up for BPM Supreme? They keep requiring proof that I’m a “working” DJ and no matter what I try they always reject me. I don’t think “bedroom” DJs can join BPM, can we? Are there any other good DJ pools that anyone can join?
I know your post was 3 years ago, but maybe somebody will still need it. I had the same issue and I contacted support and wrote them I’m learning to dj and I’d love to get access to legal music because it may be needed in the future. They checked my account and gave me access to buy subscription.
I've got a question..are songs from beatpools compressed to a similar level? I often struggle with keeping the energy in vocal driven songs, because the sound quality varies so much. Would you recommend platinum notes? P. S. thank you sooo much for your content. You definetly helped me become an intermediate dj through quarantine. Hope your channel grows even more!
If you're using Traktor theres a feature called "auto gain" but I'd imagine that there's something similar in Serato or Recordbox. If you use club gear, you still have to use the gain knob. But then you can for example reference you level when you say. Oh this track is peaking at the 2 orange Led. And then you can adjust the new track that it's also peaking at the 2 orange Led. But don't go into the Reds this will sound terrible.
They say you can comfortably move a BPM +/- 5bpm and the crowd won't really notice, so if you hav a track at 90BPM and another at 100BPM, you could essentially meet them in the middle at 95BPM.
Generally speaking mixing in key and playing BPMS that are close is safe, and is what I have done in this video, yes, but at end of the day track selection and reading the crowd is king but doing big BPM jumps is also fun and you should never pick key over the perfect track.
dj city sucks! i downloaded 100 songs i picked and only 20 got downloaded, the others just disappeared. then my crate was empty so i couldnt try again. have to find every song all over. and its wery limited on house music and rap.
If you're getting your songs from TH-cam or mp3 converter sites plz stop lol. The sound quality is horrible plus what the awesome teacher said about them...
worng way to aproach hip hop in mixing terms. first of all is not house music so stay away from the EQ, it just makes it sound muddier and confusing . Also, avoid the filters! again, is not edm or house music. Not all music is mixed the same way, some mixes have to be more aggressive that others (trap. drum and bass, moombahton), some more chill than others( Nu- disco, Ambient House) Don't leave out the what makes hip hop...hip hop! Like Slamin' the songs in, Scratching the songs in, Looping, Doubling up. So please, don't give the wrong idea to a person that discovered this video for the first time and send them off on the wrong foot. Respect,
what do you recommend mate? been djing for like a week now. I just do hard cuts, use the effects and filters when changing tracks, bass swaps. tryna master spinning out and in . whats doubling up btw if you dont mind answering?

Are the crossfader courses worth it in your opinion?
Thank you Sir. You made this look more easy for me. I want to follow you so I can get better.
Just picked up my first controller, been watching TH-cam videos and came across yours and love your content!! Thank you!! Very helpful
best mixing channel ever. your passion is inspiring and i love how you always encourage the use of eq’s.

Thank you sir 😍
The thing with 8 bar mixing, key mixing etc, is sometimes the next song just doesnt hit. Nice video btw.
i like your energy so positive!!!!!
This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks so much!
This is a good tutorial for how to mix pop/rap with intro edits
Thanks Brother!!
Excellent work, as ever

Do a video on how to mix Latino music (don't really know the name of the genre ) it's great for when you want to please the crowd at a summer party and you help me a lot with mixing thank you
Let's be honest here you have to be more specific here. You wanna do salsa and bachta (cant remember how to spell) moombathon, reagaethon?
Any advice on websites with good hip hop music, beats, extended….etc etc
BPM supreme is pretty decent for this
omg tks alott
Hey man love your videos! Can you do one of how to mix reggaetón? I think is a very hard gente to mix
Is one of the easiest to mix, Salsa in the other hand,,,,,,
Probably the easiest genre to mix besides house...
It'd be great if you recorded your voice with a close mic as it seems there is a little bit of echo while you talk.
It may be harder to understand some words for non-native English speakers like me. Thanks for the vids!
Hiphop without vinyl is a bad night.
Why can't u transfer your google play music to rekordbox when it says u can. It will not do it, I was told to transfer to iTunes then u can? Is this true and I was told u have to download another app to tramsfer to rekord box?? Please help 🙏
Thank you in advance
transfer the music to a separate folder on your local drive and then drag it in to RB from there
@@solerpower1 thank you for your help 🙏 got it all my music transferred to rb.
Some vocals were clashing, how do you suggest solving that?
Ideally intros should not have vocals. If vocals come in early on the new track, you should try looping the section (4 bars/ 2 bars) without vocals.
Has anyone successfully signed up for BPM Supreme? They keep requiring proof that I’m a “working” DJ and no matter what I try they always reject me. I don’t think “bedroom” DJs can join BPM, can we? Are there any other good DJ pools that anyone can join?

This is a great video! do u have a specific hip hop course?
Yes this is covered in my course 100% - it's all about looping in when playing vocal driven tracks - 100% my course will get you there :)
@@ClubReadyDJSchool thanks bro!!! by far the best hip hop mix/tutorial ive heard on yt.
One question? With Hip Hop does the Bpm need to be the same?
They say you can comfortably move a BPM +/- 5bpm and the crowd won't really notice, so if you hav a track at 90BPM and another at 100BPM, you could essentially meet them in the middle at 95BPM.
Are you mixing in key, as well as close to the BPM of the track playing and loading a new track??
Generally speaking mixing in key and playing BPMS that are close is safe, and is what I have done in this video, yes, but at end of the day track selection and reading the crowd is king but doing big BPM jumps is also fun and you should never pick key over the perfect track.
@@ClubReadyDJSchool thanks for the response! Love your channel, you have been so helpful for me as a new dj!
What's your mixer model?
I have a few mixers here but mainly the DJM 900NXS

Nobody pays for dj pools
