after 35 years of dj-ing... mate every beginner (and not only those) should be grateful for your videos and the way you explain. all my respect to you!
In 1 Year i become a dj who can scratch, mix, put fx in songs and match more, i get more than 400 dollar in a month as a 14 year old kid. Thank you your are a great guy
This should be the guideline for EVERY type of tutorial out there. As simple as it can be, elements are broken down so noobs (like me) can understand but not overly explained, and a healthy dose of positivity. Keep up the great work!
Been dj'ing for years but I still watch your beginner tutorials since the channel is so pro and visually striking. Thanks for helping to produce better dj's for our scene
For sure bud! Thank you as well for being an avid supporter of the channel, and yeah, I just want to spread the lessons I've learned as well to make the world a more danceable place!
Thank you for the lesson! Some of us "boomers" who DJed in 1997-2004 miss the time before CD tables when everything was vinyl and turntables and there were no aids to beat match, no tempo tap, no bpm counter, just your ears. BUT I decided this year that I miss DJing enough to break down and buy digital DJ controllers, I also have my technics 1200 mkII attached so I can use vinyl too. It is amazing all the things that the new technology can do and the transition isn't that difficult. Most of us aren't pissed just nostalgic
You are a godsend. Transitions have been the hardest part of DJing for me and you explained it so simply. Now my transitions have gone from sounding trash to sounding kinda decent.
I am an Old School DJ finally moving out of Analog to Digital. This was a create technical tutorial broken down good so that even an old dog can learn new tricks. Great Job keep it up!
As a DJ, your job is to "Move the Crowd". If a sync button makes that easier, then use it. This isn't a dick measuring contest. You're here to inspire people to dance.
However, people are getting smarter even it's not their thing.. They know well if you're a good mixing dj or not.. They're entertained in you mixing even with mistakes, miss beat matching and they don't like you cheating on them using Sync. Some don't actually dance just because you're good at mixing, they're dancing because they having fun know their DJ actually mixing without using Sync and for people like me, I'm most interested when a person miss beat matching.. It takes you back when mixing is not simpler as can be during the 80s and 90s.
@@reyzuna I think you are over compensating for people in most clubs, who are most likely high/drunk and the only think they care about is if the music is moving them or not. But fair enough im sure there are people out there that do pay attention to the mix quality but mostly it will be people who are also into mixing themselves, so probably a small percentage.
My Hero.... I love your comment.... I sync if needed... I make sure I'm entertaining my crowd, that's first priority.. what's the point of being an excellent mixer with a wack selection... Rather have a dope selection and a wack mixing skill... And people will still enjoy.... Just entertain us.
*Something to consider when reaching for the sync button...* There's definitely a stigma surrounding the use of the sync button (especially from old school DJ's who've been kicking since before digital DJ software) and the general consensus seems to be that DJ's who use the sync button are "cheating". By not manually beat-matching their tracks, they're taking a massive shortcut that makes them the equivalent of a human jukebox, which will make (as stated at 10:43) every other DJ hate you This thought process is shallow and outdated. When someone sets out to learn how to DJ, a lot of the times they're seeking out technical knowledge, learning what all the knobs and faders do so they can start mixing by themselves. But aside from the technical knowledge, part of the process of learning to DJ is learning to perform. Reading crowds, tailoring track selection and being able to play a dynamic set is another part of the DJing process that has to be learnt. Phrasing, energy, musical structureand effects are all other important aspect of DJing that require just as much attention as your transitions. If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it. DJ's who flex on other DJ's who use sync might have all the technical prowess in the world and be able to beat-match Dancehall with Psytrance, but if their set is *boring*, then they're the ones who should step back and assess their skills. If you use the sync button, and what's playing sounds good, and you dance, and the world doesn't end, *don't* feel pressured to stop using it anytime soon. There's no shame in using a little tech magic if it helps you to sound better.
"If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it." Louder please so the purists at the back can hear this!
if you have a FLX4, if you use the "smart fader" button it adds a nice reverb effect when moving the crossfader which is nice and adds some flare to a simple transition
Yes! But only one controller currently has a button for that. It's still important to learn the ins and outs of what makes a transition a good, working transition
nice one, DJ'd a wedding on my ddj200 with a balanced usb mixer and a $50nz laptop(with ssd drive) was flawless minus the request harassment. not sure on my next controller, have seen the ddj-rb for $200nz, but am thinking might save and stick with the 200 for awhile, it does what I need it to do(after some extensive midi remaping)
I've always had an interest on learning how to DJ way back 2015 but I never had anyone teach me. Equipment that time was expensive as well, so I only used a keyboard and a cracked DJ software (Traktor) to practice basic intros and outros shown in the video. It was just a hobby of mine that time. A friend of mine said that for someone without an equipment, I was doing pretty good. But I had to stop since I thought I wouldn't be able to jumpstart that career. After watching your tutorial, it brought me back to those days and it inspired me to learn more about being a DJ. I might actually go back and invest in an equipment this time. I learned a lot with this video, and I'll be watching your other video tutorials. Thank you so much.
In hotel quarantine with a recently purchased DDJ-200 (Returned to Canada from Australia). You sir, are the MAN! Appreciate you explaining everything in detail, the fun animations, and the free tracks!!!
This video is SUPER helpful! I've been inspired to DJ from watching a lot of streamers DJ and set a mood/vibe. You make look it so simple and fun compared to other channels that sound a little monotone or boring. I can feel your passion in the art. Thanks for making this video!
I’ve always loved EDM music and recently found my self air DJing all the time like a crackhead, just bought a controller and this tutorial is the best, thank you
I stopped mixing nearly 20 years and am thinking about starting again, you've inspired me! (midlife crisis maybe?) Anyway - a tip for any beginner/ first time user: Learn to mix by using the same track on both decks, 1 and 2. Once you can mix seamlessly anywhere on the track, it will be much easier to do with different tracks when beat matched.
@@djcarlo nice! 👍 Thanks for all your content! I have been binge watching all your vids on what controller to get. I used Numark Axis 4 back in the day. The equipment is so different now
Omg okay so I start watching you when I became inspired to DJ, I got the equipment and watched a couple videos again (your 8 min. tutorial), now that I saw this pop-up has made me so happy. Now I keep rewinding it to watch it over again to keep learning. You are the ONLY person I have come across that actually explains something so clearly and precisely.
In hotel quarantine with a recently purchased DDJ-200 (Returned to Canada from Australia). You sir, are the MAN! Appreciate you explaining everything in detail, the fun animations, and the free tracks!!!
Cannot get any simpler tutorial on this topic. There wasn't one time in the entire video where the explanation started flying over my head. Extremely simple and understandable. Thank you for the amazing video, Carlo!
Straight to thet point instructions. When I started 20 years ago it was just trial and error over and over. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise
@@djcarlo I saw the story. Didn't even realize the amount of work that went into these videos. Makes me appreciate your hard work and dedication even more
@@PopSyckillPete now i use digital and controllers and hot cues and loops and can mix into and out of any phrase in almost any track. And make sound seamless and create my own climaxes and build ups with fx and filters and slicing the loops. Lol.
@@MB-sq2xv I totally agree. When i started it was almost a "crime" to mix during a breakdown... now it doesn't matter just make it flow and keep your crowd into it
This video is exactly what I was looking for. I haven't tried to DJ yet but always wondered what these DJ's were really doing with all those knobs and all. This explained it perfectly, you're awesome!
Here you go for all the timestamps: 2:32 DJ'ing & gear breakdown 4:02 Navigation 5:06 Deck section guide 6:38 Mixer section guide 9:17 1st transition lesson 14:26 Pro transition technique Hope you enjoy and keep on mixing 💯
7:07 the crossfader does not make the track 50% volume when in the middle, but it keeps both tracks at 100%, resulting in an equal mix. The track only goes to 50% volume when you drag the crossfader to 75% away.
I did not want to say anything but I also see this mistake but still a amazing video very helpful for the beginners I’m coming from sl1210 so needed to get alittel infomation on the controller functions it seems to make things easy in a way but over complicating other bits
Ive got a question though. Crossfader 75% away is 50% of volume but for other deck is it still 100% or 150%? I guess in the middle are both at 100% but if you go one way, it only lowers the one you are going towards and keeps the other one at 100%? BTw nice video great stuff really I am looking into buying my first controller and getting info first.
I've been trying to learn djing through youtube videos before joining the academy but I never be able to learn it from youtube but your video really helped me with beat matching, I've watched so many videos before for beat matching but it never helped me. Thankyou :)
@@djcarlo Thank you. Doing my Family reunion on the 27th of May in Arizona so cleaning the dust off my gear. Couldn't find my hardrives though but found all the cds up to 2006 lol. A little behind the times.. Running virtual Dj. Thanks for the encouragement. Staybsafe and have fun.
Fantastic video! Wish I had this when I learnt the basics of DJing 15 years ago! You're a great teacher and your video production is fantastic. Thanks!
Yap....I bought it because I always need to prepare library and for the price it's OK but for real party in club it's terrible....bad sound, no output for booth....But that price makes it ok :D :D
Been dj'ing for years but I still watch your beginner tutorials since the channel is so pro and visually striking. Thanks for helping to produce better dj's for our scene
This is literally EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I was looking for as a complete newbie to DJing. Always wanted to learn and just purchased an SB3 to learn during quarantine haha. Everything from explaining the. knobs to clear step by step instructions on beat matching and transitioning is absolutely spot on. THANK YOU!!!! Although I will say, I find it super difficult to tweak the beat with the jog wheel and I refuse to touch the sync button lol (I suppose that's a skill I have to practice and master) Also, what is the track ID for song #1? :D
It’s been over a year, but thank you so much for your videos. You literally have taught me my new favorite thing in the world and really got me through some hard times. Thank you for being such a great teacher and sharing your knowledge.
That's so awesome! Honestly, it really touches my heart to see comments like yours. I'm happy you found joy in DJing, and that you're really enthusiastic about it! 🤩
I just recently gotten heavy into music and wanted to try DJ’ing I must say this is such a godsend to help me understand the basics! Thank you so much!
Uy wow, sakto! Buti applicable pa rin itong 2020 guide for 2023 heheh, I'm looking forward to buying my first DJ Controller in the coming months which will be the DDJ 400. After watching you for more or less 6 years now, and as a Dance Music lover since 2008, I'm excited na. Kasi recently lang ako nagka-work and now lang ako nagkaroon ng super extra funds!!
This video is one of the most informative and straight to the point videos about DJing I've seen! I've been to a couple workshops before but this has been rly good
Excellent Tutorial! I just got my first controller (DDJ-400) for Christmas. I've played with DJ software without one off and on but using a controller is a challenge all its own too. This was really helpful and you broke it down and make it look so easy. Thanks!
DJ Carlo Atendido, I referred your video to several of my friends who recently got into DJing. They love em'. Thank you so much for what you do. Darold
Sir thank you, in those difficult time, I was a DJ in the 80', I am now 54 but... I still got it in me. Just bought a used Numark PRO 3 for 120$, I know it's probably not the best but I have having a blast since 3 days. I took me a good... 15 minute to get back into it, not that bad... I just loved that video, maybe some youngster that think they don't have it will try. To day trying is cheap compare to when I was 20... ha ha ha. Thanks again sir Ho, I have to say that, in those time, in the 80', the price of one record was the price of a full month subscription anywhere now... dig that.
Hey, i landed on your page after becoming obsessed with the footage of Four Tet, Fred Again and Skrillex headlining Coachella. My background is very much heavy metal and guitar based music, i just wanted to say that your crystal clear explanation and excellent articulation of wtf these machines do is inspiring me to pick one up, just to play around with. Excellent content, thanks for uploading!
Lets go Stuart! Welcome to the DJ world and, I've gotta say, since you already have a musical background, DJing shouldn't be a problem for you. Especially with some of the more intricate musical terminology!
I bought a used DDJ 400 controller before knowing your channel and I'm happy to have found your channel with lots of tutorials with this model ! Thanks !
Желаю, чтобы этот день был по-настоящему чудесным! Пусть его наполняют волшебные мгновения, удивительные события, колдовские чувства, фантастические мысли и мистически счастливые совпадения! 👍👍👍😉😉😉
I’m a total noob but I’ve always been intrigued about DJing especially in deep house music but kinda intimidated by all the buttons and knobs 😅😅😅. After watching your tutorial, I’ve gained the confidence to dive into the DJing world. Thanks a lot and I hope you continue to enjoy and be successful in your career.
I'm an old school DJ who started back in the late 80s. I love all the new tech, I use Traktor Scratch Pro with Control Vinyl on my Tech 1200s which I bought back in 1990. I still do mixes and turntablism with vinyl along with using Traktor and some of it's bells and whistles. I don't harp on any DJ for using what's available. In fact, I'm in the process of upgrading my Rane 56 to a new Traktor or Serato mixer in order to use all the "tools" available within either of the software programs. All I will say is, if you have a chance to "sharpen" your DJ skills by using real turntables, tonearms and cartridges, with either vinyl or control vinyl, you'll develop a better touch and overall control and understanding of the art. The best DJs I know are ones who mastered the art back in the day and then stepped forward and adopted the new tech and expanded their skill set with what's available today. The best part of Digital or Virtual DJ'ing today... Not having to haul 25 crates of vinyl to a gig... LOL... Had Traktor or Serato been around back in the early 90s, I would have used it and been a very very happy DJ not having to deal with the logistics of toting all that crap, lol. Keep the music going, the dance floor shall never die!!!
100% agree Eric! The convenience of modern technology is truly something else. In fact, I used to only have a pair of used 1200s when I started, but I really embraced the wonders digital mixers had to offer
@@djcarlo You got it! All the sounds and ideas myself and other DJs had back in the day are now possible due to new tech. What use to be an ordeal and massive planning to do a wild remix can now be done on the fly with the new stuff. Queue points, loops, effects, cut ins with samples, etc., it's amazing what you can do with a push of a button or twist of a knob now compared to burning through 6, 7, 8 or even more pieces of vinyl to get the same effect and end results.
Im really glad that I found this video! In this quarantine i got interested in Djing so search about it, and I found your video and it is really damn usefull thanks for this wonderfull video! Thank you😍
Thank you for making this and offering the free tracks to practice. Now I know why they call it a controller; feels like your playing a video game. Hitting the buttons, sliders and knobs all at the right time while looking at the screen and hearing the beat. You dumbed it down but that's how you learn! It's fun! Thanks!🎼
Indeed! Actually, the best tutorials dumb things down so that everyone can grasp the lesson! Getting too advanced and too technical usually knocks me out haha
Im a filipino like you. And im 14 years old. I only make musics but i cant mix it because i dont have a dj mixer. But im planning to buy. So thx for this.
@@djcarlo lmfao i do this too when its not the correct music for the venue like a goth at a trance party! Let me pu that in the request queue! THE F**ng BIN
So I've been learning Japanese for a little while now and I'm to the point where I'm learning kanji. Does that kanji = ば? Another question while on the subject. Wouldn't ですnot make sense in that context? It's a polite way of ending a sentence and obviously the 彼女 was being impolite. Just for some mental clarity :')
Love you Sir I've already learned all of this from your past videos. Although I have watched full for learning something new and .... Voila!! Now I know how to align miss matched beats Grids Thanks a lot
Thank you so so much for this tutorial! You were clear and concise, and this is the type of guidance that a complete noob like myself needs. You've earned yourself a subscription, and I can't wait for more of your tutorials!
WHAT A LEGEND... that was 1. actually for beginners, 2. well animated, labeled, and explained, and 3. actually gave good advice on gear. QUESTION: I'm a studio dancer who loves hiphop and urban dance. What advice do you have for someone like me? Do dancers or musicians have an easier time picking things up? Thank you!
I would actually say so William! Since you've got the rhythm already, it'll be easier for you to move and groove with the music, and you've also got your counting down. Both are necessary for me for DJing because you'll be able to flow with the music better. And thank you for the kind words on the video!
Well, it really depends on your budget and the sound quality you're looking for! Check out my gear here if you want to get an idea of what I use too: www.amazon.com/shop/djcarloatendido
Fantastic video mate, easy to follow and really clear. Just bought the course to keep going step by step and support the channel too, well deserve it! Cheers 🙏🏼
Very helpful video! Just a few questions: Can these techniques be used with any genre? Do you need external speakers for audio or can you use your computer speakers? Thanks for making this tutorial and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am an old school DJ, and I use only a vinyl records. This video is very helpful. I think I'm gonna try this DJ Controller. I am getting old lifting heavy turn tables and records.
11:00 -- Hi Carlo, please will you give more detail in to the counting there, because we see 1,2,3,4 but its not clear where u count from on the fading out track, i see 32 beats on the scree there but it counts up, im just curious as to understand this better. Thank you
Really great tutorial, thanks. One question though, I’m very new to this, self taught during lockdown 😂 for the most part I’ve nailed the basics but I have this one frustration that I’m hoping you have an answer. When I beat match via sync, I sometimes find the tracks to be slightly off beat and that’s when most DJ’s make use of the jog wheel turning “left or right” to get this perfectly in sync. But what if, as in my case, one is not using a DJ controller i.e. no physical deck and no jog wheels - only making use of a laptop (MacBook) and DJay Pro software, how do I get around this with the keyboard/shortcut keys? Currently my solution to this is prepping each song by editing the grid start of the downbeat (this works) but I find this method not to be the most efficient way when needing to do so on the fly during a mix practice session.
Hello there, Van Wilder! Thanks for watching! The best method is to properly beat grid your songs. You can check the video here on my channel on how to prepare your songs.
what im doing is - choosing music with pretty much same bpm - adjusting transition - Pitch changing - edjusting bass, treble and volume etc from each music i choose in one software to make a good mix , then i realize all i need is this physcal dj tool... look how newbie i am XD i like this videos bro
Thanks very much for your video. I am a semi-pro musician and just bought a Hercules Inpulse 500 - my first controller. This was a great, concise guide to WTF I should be doing. Very helpful and highly recommend.

If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it.
DJ's who flex on other DJ's who use sync might have all the technical prowess in the world and be able to beat-match Dancehall with Psytrance, but if their set is *boring*, then they're the ones who should step back and assess their skills. If you use the sync button, and what's playing sounds good, and you dance, and the world doesn't end, *don't* feel pressured to stop using it anytime soon. There's no shame in using a little tech magic if it helps you to sound better.
"If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it."
Louder please so the purists at the back can hear this!
moral of the story is if you need it to play better than ok, if you dont need it because your a pro then don't use the handicap
if you have a FLX4, if you use the "smart fader" button it adds a nice reverb effect when moving the crossfader which is nice and adds some flare to a simple transition
Yes! But only one controller currently has a button for that. It's still important to learn the ins and outs of what makes a transition a good, working transition
Just ordered a DDJ400, looking forward to start! Thanks for you videos, really clear and useful info!
Always happy to help! Thanks for DJing :)
@@djcarlo Can you Dj without a set up and only dj using a software?
Same. I can’t wait!!!
Loopers
nice one, DJ'd a wedding on my ddj200 with a balanced usb mixer and a $50nz laptop(with ssd drive) was flawless minus the request harassment.
not sure on my next controller, have seen the ddj-rb for $200nz, but am thinking might save and stick with the 200 for awhile, it does what I need it to do(after some extensive midi remaping)
The blue lightning and texture of the wall behind really makes me feel comfortable, great choice!
Thanks Pablo! I wanted to choose the most inviting setting for my videos :)
I've always had an interest on learning how to DJ way back 2015 but I never had anyone teach me. Equipment that time was expensive as well, so I only used a keyboard and a cracked DJ software (Traktor) to practice basic intros and outros shown in the video. It was just a hobby of mine that time. A friend of mine said that for someone without an equipment, I was doing pretty good. But I had to stop since I thought I wouldn't be able to jumpstart that career. After watching your tutorial, it brought me back to those days and it inspired me to learn more about being a DJ. I might actually go back and invest in an equipment this time. I learned a lot with this video, and I'll be watching your other video tutorials. Thank you so much.
I'm glad the video did that for you Ayaken! Really hope the second winds leads to something for you in the DJing world!
In hotel quarantine with a recently purchased DDJ-200 (Returned to Canada from Australia). You sir, are the MAN! Appreciate you explaining everything in detail, the fun animations, and the free tracks!!!
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial man. Enjoy the 200!
This video is SUPER helpful! I've been inspired to DJ from watching a lot of streamers DJ and set a mood/vibe. You make look it so simple and fun compared to other channels that sound a little monotone or boring. I can feel your passion in the art. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks, man! That means a lot. Thanks for making my day :)
This guy is so goooood, no words for him. He explained everything so well!!
And he replied to all the comments in this video lmao 😂😂😂
Hahaha! Thanks for the kind words! For the community, I'll be at service!
I’ve always loved EDM music and recently found my self air DJing all the time like a crackhead, just bought a controller and this tutorial is the best, thank you
Nice to hear about this! Good luck on your DJing! Cheers!

I stopped mixing nearly 20 years and am thinking about starting again, you've inspired me! (midlife crisis maybe?)
Anyway - a tip for any beginner/ first time user:
Learn to mix by using the same track on both decks, 1 and 2. Once you can mix seamlessly anywhere on the track, it will be much easier to do with different tracks when beat matched.
Oh that's great advice! I'm gonna consider parroting that in future replied for beginners
@@djcarlo nice! 👍
Thanks for all your content! I have been binge watching all your vids on what controller to get.
I used Numark Axis 4 back in the day. The equipment is so different now
Omg okay so I start watching you when I became inspired to DJ, I got the equipment and watched a couple videos again (your 8 min. tutorial), now that I saw this pop-up has made me so happy. Now I keep rewinding it to watch it over again to keep learning. You are the ONLY person I have come across that actually explains something so clearly and precisely.
That is awesome! Glad I inspired you in more than one way! And thanks for noticing how good my explanation was! Wish you all the best in your DJing!

@Duke Land If all you're after is a basic controller I'd recommend it. Works great with Rekordbox and very portable
Cannot get any simpler tutorial on this topic. There wasn't one time in the entire video where the explanation started flying over my head. Extremely simple and understandable. Thank you for the amazing video, Carlo!
Glad you find my videos really helpful and easy to understand! Thanks for watching!
worked on this from 3
3:30 am to 7:00 am Cali time- thank you man - I messed up so much and learned so much.
Dang dude, really burning the midnight oil there! But I'm glad you learned from the video!
Straight to thet point instructions. When I started 20 years ago it was just trial and error over and over.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise
Thanks buddy! Just here to help you all out! I do work hard on these scripts to provide you good instructions :)
@@djcarlo I saw the story. Didn't even realize the amount of work that went into these videos. Makes me appreciate your hard work and dedication even more
@@PopSyckillPete i learned this se exact way 20 years ago on vinyl mixing into intro and outros
@@PopSyckillPete now i use digital and controllers and hot cues and loops and can mix into and out of any phrase in almost any track. And make sound seamless and create my own climaxes and build ups with fx and filters and slicing the loops. Lol.
@@MB-sq2xv I totally agree. When i started it was almost a "crime" to mix during a breakdown... now it doesn't matter just make it flow and keep your crowd into it
Wicked first lesson thank you so much !!!! My first step as a DJ … will comment again in 5years when I’m a pro 👍🏽
Imma wait for that comment bud!

Thanks bro
7:07 the crossfader does not make the track 50% volume when in the middle, but it keeps both tracks at 100%, resulting in an equal mix. The track only goes to 50% volume when you drag the crossfader to 75% away.
Yeah, that was a snafu on my end. Chalk it up to one-manning this entire video, and not getting sleep
I did not want to say anything but I also see this mistake but still a amazing video very helpful for the beginners I’m coming from sl1210 so needed to get alittel infomation on the controller functions it seems to make things easy in a way but over complicating other bits
Ive got a question though. Crossfader 75% away is 50% of volume but for other deck is it still 100% or 150%? I guess in the middle are both at 100% but if you go one way, it only lowers the one you are going towards and keeps the other one at 100%? BTw nice video great stuff really I am looking into buying my first controller and getting info first.
I've been trying to learn djing through youtube videos before joining the academy but I never be able to learn it from youtube but your video really helped me with beat matching, I've watched so many videos before for beat matching but it never helped me. Thankyou :)
Awwww! Thanks for the kind words! I’m filled with gladness! I reached my goal!
Retired from DJ'ing. In 2006. Loved it and missed. It. Finally getting back into it at 52.
Never too late to get back bud! 16 years is a long break, but man, it must feel great to get back in the saddle. Welcome back to the DJ world Adrian!
@@djcarlo Thank you. Doing my Family reunion on the 27th of May in Arizona so cleaning the dust off my gear. Couldn't find my hardrives though but found all the cds up to 2006 lol. A little behind the times.. Running virtual Dj. Thanks for the encouragement. Staybsafe and have fun.
This has never been explained in a clearer way to me. Thank you!

At least you have it now. Maybe you can share the video so more beginners can see! Thanks for the kind words!
This is literally EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I was looking for as a complete newbie to DJing. Always wanted to learn and just purchased an SB3 to learn during quarantine haha.
Everything from explaining the. knobs to clear step by step instructions on beat matching and transitioning is absolutely spot on. THANK YOU!!!!
Although I will say, I find it super difficult to tweak the beat with the jog wheel and I refuse to touch the sync button lol (I suppose that's a skill I have to practice and master)
Also, what is the track ID for song #1? :D
YAYYY! Great for discovering this! Good luck to your DJing!

After watching you for more or less 6 years now, and as a Dance Music lover since 2008, I'm excited na. Kasi recently lang ako nagka-work and now lang ako nagkaroon ng super extra funds!!
Yup! 100% applicable pa rin, with all the lessons you need. Interfaces may have changed slightly, but they should all still be good to go!

WOW! Great! Thanks for listening! More tutorials are found in my channel!
Excellent Tutorial! I just got my first controller (DDJ-400) for Christmas. I've played with DJ software without one off and on but using a controller is a challenge all its own too. This was really helpful and you broke it down and make it look so easy. Thanks!

That's awesome! I'm happy to be the catalyst for more DJs in this world!
Sir thank you, in those difficult time, I was a DJ in the 80', I am now 54 but... I still got it in me. Just bought a used Numark PRO 3 for 120$, I know it's probably not the best but I have having a blast since 3 days. I took me a good... 15 minute to get back into it, not that bad... I just loved that video, maybe some youngster that think they don't have it will try. To day trying is cheap compare to when I was 20... ha ha ha. Thanks again sir Ho, I have to say that, in those time, in the 80', the price of one record was the price of a full month subscription anywhere now... dig that.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Respect!
Hey, i landed on your page after becoming obsessed with the footage of Four Tet, Fred Again and Skrillex headlining Coachella. My background is very much heavy metal and guitar based music, i just wanted to say that your crystal clear explanation and excellent articulation of wtf these machines do is inspiring me to pick one up, just to play around with. Excellent content, thanks for uploading!
Lets go Stuart! Welcome to the DJ world and, I've gotta say, since you already have a musical background, DJing shouldn't be a problem for you. Especially with some of the more intricate musical terminology!
I bought a used DDJ 400 controller before knowing your channel and I'm happy to have found your channel with lots of tutorials with this model ! Thanks !
Yessir! I love the 400! Glad you found the right channel to help you grow!
Woah! I really find this helpful for my future DJing ,

This was an amazing beginners video ! Such a hard concept to teach and you killed it
Awww! Glad you find it easy to follow! Thanks for watching!
That was the smoothest sponsor intro ever lol
hahah I see what you did there
I'm an old school DJ who started back in the late 80s. I love all the new tech, I use Traktor Scratch Pro with Control Vinyl on my Tech 1200s which I bought back in 1990. I still do mixes and turntablism with vinyl along with using Traktor and some of it's bells and whistles. I don't harp on any DJ for using what's available. In fact, I'm in the process of upgrading my Rane 56 to a new Traktor or Serato mixer in order to use all the "tools" available within either of the software programs. All I will say is, if you have a chance to "sharpen" your DJ skills by using real turntables, tonearms and cartridges, with either vinyl or control vinyl, you'll develop a better touch and overall control and understanding of the art. The best DJs I know are ones who mastered the art back in the day and then stepped forward and adopted the new tech and expanded their skill set with what's available today. The best part of Digital or Virtual DJ'ing today... Not having to haul 25 crates of vinyl to a gig... LOL... Had Traktor or Serato been around back in the early 90s, I would have used it and been a very very happy DJ not having to deal with the logistics of toting all that crap, lol. Keep the music going, the dance floor shall never die!!!
100% agree Eric! The convenience of modern technology is truly something else. In fact, I used to only have a pair of used 1200s when I started, but I really embraced the wonders digital mixers had to offer
@@djcarlo You got it! All the sounds and ideas myself and other DJs had back in the day are now possible due to new tech. What use to be an ordeal and massive planning to do a wild remix can now be done on the fly with the new stuff. Queue points, loops, effects, cut ins with samples, etc., it's amazing what you can do with a push of a button or twist of a knob now compared to burning through 6, 7, 8 or even more pieces of vinyl to get the same effect and end results.
It's almost 9am and I've been up all night. Why am I trying to learn how to be a DJ instead of sleeping?
Hihi! Maybe because that's what your heart tells you to do! Go for it!

Thank you for making this and offering the free tracks to practice. Now I know why they call it a controller; feels like your playing a video game. Hitting the buttons, sliders and knobs all at the right time while looking at the screen and hearing the beat. You dumbed it down but that's how you learn! It's fun! Thanks!🎼
Indeed! Actually, the best tutorials dumb things down so that everyone can grasp the lesson! Getting too advanced and too technical usually knocks me out haha

WHAT A LEGEND... that was 1. actually for beginners, 2. well animated, labeled, and explained, and 3. actually gave good advice on gear.
QUESTION: I'm a studio dancer who loves hiphop and urban dance. What advice do you have for someone like me? Do dancers or musicians have an easier time picking things up? Thank you!
I would actually say so William! Since you've got the rhythm already, it'll be easier for you to move and groove with the music, and you've also got your counting down. Both are necessary for me for DJing because you'll be able to flow with the music better. And thank you for the kind words on the video!

Btw love ur new profile pic
how do you get the software to go with the decks? Does it come with it when you buy them
Really great tutorial, thanks. One question though, I’m very new to this, self taught during lockdown 😂 for the most part I’ve nailed the basics but I have this one frustration that I’m hoping you have an answer. When I beat match via sync, I sometimes find the tracks to be slightly off beat and that’s when most DJ’s make use of the jog wheel turning “left or right” to get this perfectly in sync. But what if, as in my case, one is not using a DJ controller i.e. no physical deck and no jog wheels - only making use of a laptop (MacBook) and DJay Pro software, how do I get around this with the keyboard/shortcut keys?
Currently my solution to this is prepping each song by editing the grid start of the downbeat (this works) but I find this method not to be the most efficient way when needing to do so on the fly during a mix practice session.
Hello there, Van Wilder! Thanks for watching!
The best method is to properly beat grid your songs. You can check the video here on my channel on how to prepare your songs.
what im doing is
- choosing music with pretty much same bpm
- adjusting transition
- Pitch changing
- edjusting bass, treble and volume
etc from each music i choose
in one software to make a good mix , then i realize all i need is this physcal dj tool... look how newbie i am XD
i like this videos bro
Good to know Martin, and I'm glad you enjoyed the videos bud!
