A video on 3 deck mixing with a DDJ 1000 would be very helpful!
Coming soon!
@@ClubReadyDJSchool Looking forward to it! Just bought a ddj1000
Here is a 4 deck mix I did on the 1000. I did not get above 3 tracks playing at once. But at least half the set is 3 tracks playing. I did rotate through all 4. Its stressful but the end product is well worth it.

I have the DDJ-1000 and always use all four decks. It's the same concepts as using 3-4 CDJs, you just have to use the 1/3 and 2/4 buttons on each deck to toggle between decks.
up and coming DJs listen to this guy i have been at this din dung for 25 years and some times i like to go back this guy tells the truth up to yourself to belive!!!!
Nobody does it better than Andy C.. Think he's on traktor with dvs these days.
i screamed when madonna's vocal started
great as always
Not even ready to mix with 3 decks yet, just here for more of those positive Aussie vibes🙌
Exactly Bro💓💓💓💓
I could see me adding a 3rd deck down the line when my budget allows for it :) Right now I'm focusing on making flawless transitions as I'm a beginner and also a huge fan of deep and progressive house, but a 3rd deck does seem interesting for sure! Another great video man! And to all viewers here, his paid course is f**king amazing!!!
Thanks Matthew, I am sure you'll kill it when the time is right ;)
Hey man, really love your vibes! Especially the fact that you're not just teaching robotic mechanics but also put emphasis on the mindset of DJing which is about expressing myself and having fun. That really inspires me everytime I watch one of you videos.
Thank you so much for sharing all this stuff with us! :)
I appreciate this , thank you so much :)
Andy C does 4 deck mixing on vinyl 🤯
Andy C is up there on another level for sure but his mixes are still structured and laid out as ive seen an old interview where he goes into detail on how he lays out his sets but he also has a few different directions he can take if the crowd needs building or taking down a bit, dnb is my genre and love it 😍
@@nexus446 any link to that video?
Keep doing what youre doing mate, i love your straight up approach and that you assume your viewership has already covered the basics. Its a breath of fresh air to just to get straight to the meat of the subject without the full preamble.
You continue to be such a public service for DJs and an inspiration. Mission accomplished. You explain things in a way where it’s simple and just makes sense. Love the enthusiasm.
Thanks heaps Carlos
Been messing around with 3 and 4 deck mixing for a while now due to having layers, but only the other day I connected one of my SC5000's to my DDJ 1000, and it is so much more fun having a 3rd deck. It's also more temping to use than having a layer button on each deck so you use it more, which means you're forcing yourself out your comfort zone, which only leads to improvement
I like 3 deck mixing because you can keep the momentum going.
Good call!
love your vibe and passion about what u do! thanku so much for all this precious learning!
I’ve tried 3 deck mixing. On an iPad with Djay Pro... yeah, not the same I know. Still though, I’m always thinking ‘this acapella or this beat from a 3rd tune will go well with this mix’ prompting a desire to get in a 3rd deck. Cannot wait to absorb your latest lesson my man. Been looking forward to your next vid. I am your padawan.
Amazing Tutorials as always, I asked for theory around 3 deck mixing and you delivered..... I’m buying the course 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I'd say at least 3 decks are pretty essential for dnb, when you're double dropping and the two tracks are jamming you definitely don't want to take one out to bring the other in.
Love how you speak that having fun and doing you own things and finding your own style and shine and i would say it again practice is the key and finding the right mentor.
Thanks for this I really appreciate comments of this nature :)
Well said matey. It just simply couldn’t be possible to have these quick perfect “trick” mixes without pre planning them, and obviously if we like them we will use it time to time. Just don’t overkill it I think is the key. Make sure you have practiced lots of little tricks routines, I manage to get maybe 5 a week built , like mashup style mill routines made and banked tbh. But obviously mashup style can’t be done perfectly without some prep. People diss the prep side of DJing and think we should be able to do these things on the fly allday everyday but that’s just simply not the case
well said!
Oh you got lesson for this too! Was searching mixing with more than 2 decks.
Awesome video! ❤
That was sick man.
I recently upgraded to a ddj 1000 so this video is very helpful. Thank you!
Better spend your money for the denon dj prime 4. Much better choice
EJAY I really don’t need a stand-alone controller. I’m still exiting the bedroom dj phase. I take my laptop everywhere regardless if I’m djing or not. It’s a habit that doesn’t need to be broken. I don’t really like the jog wheels on the prime. And the software is a little behind the rest of the competition although I know they have updates it’s gonna be a while. Plus I got the ddj 1000 used for $750 cash and it’s in perfect condition. The prime 4 after tax is about $2100. Plus I could sell the ddj 1000 tomorrow for 900 easy and still make profit lol
Smooth as 👌
Always look forward to these videos .. keep up the great work
Thanks guy, great to see you are a regular :)
Just bought 3 Cdj 1000mk3 and a djx900 usb mixer best budget setup ever, love the lack of waveform!!
I know many genre's use 3 deck/4 deck mixing but I was introduced to it in a way that I became interested and wanted to learn was watching D&B DJ Andy C's Rampage 2018 set or Friction's UKF 2017 performance. I was blown away.
As always thank you for the content and positive vibes :)
I'll check it out, thanks Dan
best DJ channel
Thanks so much Jeremy :)
Love your video ☺️ keep being you and sharing that passion 🌸
Thank you so much!!
Love the way you explain stuff! I used to play 3 Decks on 1210's in the early 90's & you get into a rhythm after a while. I now play Progressive House & don't feel the need for 3 Decks ( especially as i don't use cue points) i use loops to keep the phrase matching. Still look forward to your videos every week. Nice job Andrew......
Thanks Paul :)
Nice video again Andrew please the the controller walk through that will be super helpful to me as I have a controller at the moment thanks for your awesome videos and inspirational attitude youre such a positive vibe to the dj community 😀
Another awesome video yet again! You’re such an inspiration, thanks so much
Awesome video mate as always brilliant honesty and passion the attraction and enjoyment of finding combinations and developing them is certainly something that inspires me to keep learning...thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the share. Enjoy your tutorials
A 3 deck controller walkthrough would be awesome
Another great video, thanks for the share. Always full of great tips and tricks regardless of your skill set....
Appreciate this - thank you
love you dude
🙌
Will keep this in min if it ever comes to this
great vid. totally inspired. keen to work out my own routines.
Thanks heaps for this it was always a mystery as to exactly what was being done a good deal of planning as it turns out. Cheers bro
thanks for this video man, feel it's gonna require practice! but the passion is there to nail it :)
Liked. Subbed. Amazing. Love your vibe!
How do we put dj software any way
Noice. I've been playing with 3 decks for a couple of months now and having an absolute ball! I've got 4 decks (6 if you include the second set of decks in the controller) and still find myself playing primarily with just the 3.
Very nice!
Definitely going to start working on this practice during the week!
You got this!
get out of my head :D ur uploading just what i need! thanks man, guess whos gonna upgrade his skill
Haha classic - kin ;)
Love your videos
Sweet bit of mixing there andrew, niiiiice. Roger sanchez uses one deck for accapellas, 4th deck for loops and decks 2 and 3 as his main mix decks. He basically does mashups live when at a gig. 👍
I'll have to check it out, thanks Alvin
@@ClubReadyDJSchool andrew ive emailed you the video webinar of pioneer dj and roger sanchez. Any problems with it, let me know and i'll try sending it again. They read out my question about mixing with 4 decks and roger answers it 👍👍. I was buzzing 😀😀
always good lessons Andrew love it bro
Nah fr you’re a mad guy and a huge inspiration for me big love g
Thanks Ted :)
Wow that was cool when you were using the fx. Love the free vids man, hope all is going well for you
I have been getting into 3 deck mixing on a 2 channel controller.... it’s quite a brain stretch, worth a try ;)
Haha classic!
I love how he speaks about combinations - I'm feeling it :)
PS. check out this killer 3-deck set from VTSS @ HOR Berlin.
Reggaeton dj here. The only time I usually do a third deck is to add a different beat or small acapella in one song and keep it while i transition to the second song and use that 2nd song to transition to the looped beat of the 3rd decks song then intro that third beat
Sounds awesome!
I woud just like to thank you for your videos and please teach us more
amazing as always !
I got an ndx500 and the bpm detection turned out to be awful to the point where it would change so even by ear it would fuck up. But I was surprised how easily I picked up 3 deck music. your mix helped me understand how, I even had lots of moments where I wanted to bring in a 3rd deck when Im on 2 ever since
Your a very good DJ, promoting your classes isn’t a big deal, lol!
Your videos alone are very inspiring and helpful.
I love making mistakes because sometimes they end up being really cool 😎
3 Decks look like a lot of fun. Unfortunately a third deck isn’t in the budget considering the purchase of two extra Subs and a 1000SRT.
I’m still hooked on Serato but strongly thinking of a Recordbox controller in the future. Less to carry 😉
Love the feel of the full sized jog wheels. The mixer isn’t quite like a DJM but it works for now.
I’d like to see you perform more 3 deck sets, having fun and just being who you are Andrew.
So far I’m hooked on Tech House, Progressive House, and always loved the 70’s through 1999 club tracks.
Also into heavy metal. Genres are a bit too over emphasized.
Music is the soul.
Keep them coming Andrew!!!
Thanks Toby :)
You're a legend man! This video is just what I needed. And.... What a tool the person is who disliked this video?? 🤦♂️
Haha thanks David!
nice vid and shoutout to the king james hype
The first transitions for 3 deck mixing id recommand is deck 1 to deck 2, start deck 3 on drop, keep elements from deck 1 or 2 and transition to deck 3.
Sounds like a good tip!
@@ClubReadyDJSchool I got the idea from watching your tech house mix
I've noticed James Hype does alot of 3 deck mixing.
i see what you did there 😂
A video using 3 decks on a controller would be awesome!
You should make a 4 deck mixing video!
I've only been mixing for about 6 months, and I'm already coming up with concepts where I'm like "damn if only I had more decks"
You have to check out my course with 3 deck mixing - I break it down - with the right approach it's easier than you think: www.clubreadydjschool.com/courses/performance-plus/
I have the denon Dj sc5000 players and the cool thing about those is that you have 2 layers per player so you can essentially do 4 deck mixing with 2 players. Have you ever messed with those? It’s kinda fun lol
100% I love them and have used them but unfortunately I don't own a pair - YET!
would love to see a video on a controller
Why do you have a tape on the third deck?
what's the 3rd tune u bring in called??????
What's that Parade ID? 👀
Where's the track list guy at??
Really good tip on working on a few combo mixes/mashs, do you literally memorise the tracks involved or save them as small crates in rekordbox/serato and have them listed in order to play each combo?
Are you able to load two tracks on one CDJ? Is it possible to do “three deck” mixing with only two CDJs?
No
dopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
My view exactly on J.Hype.. He does the SAME TRANSITIONS every time.. gets boring, and his hand movements are weird AF.. especially when he does them off beat.. its throws me off.. hahah.. like wtf are you doin broooo
Noticed that a bit to. Does a lot of volume/tempo fader slamming and it does get old quick.
Do you really need three. Can’t you do most things on two cdj’s? Honest opinions from dj’s hear?
Of course 2 players is the norm, but if you reach a plateau and want to make it interesting I suggest you give it a try - just for fun, if nothing more
What do you make of the DDJ-400 for a beginner/intermediate?
Love it! Sure it feels a little like a toy but is a great piece of gear to start on :) has basic operations needed to DJ
At least subs :3
Laidback Luke explains when he does combos, the next set he does he puts a different song between the combo he did the previous set
Sounds like a wise man ;)
