Hey DJ Carlo so two days ago I was DJing a on my computer with my Hercules air+ S-series or series-s controller and I just bought usher song that's named yeah with Ludacris so I was asking do you have a link or somewhere where I can send you this sound recording cuz I would love if you could hear it
Amazing video as usual, very informative and easy to understand. I am incoporating these techiques, using the effect cfx properly, is something to address.
I am learning a lot when I go out to dj events and I focus what the pros do (by ear ofc). Looping mixing, sometimes is abused to the point of using only loops.
I find the quantize fuction very usefull, Rekordbox has is as a option (when there is no available button on the controller)
I am using looping the end of the track, but also looping the intro to the next one.
Finally I have the DDJ - XP2 and it has given me more choices alongside a slider/knob controller (to control the stems levels).
I have solved a lot of my problems. But still using more than 1 effect at the same time is not available (but mapping another controller you can)
Also adding effects on a specific stem is tricky but rewarding. Like you can do on a FLX10.
ps. The energy when I am djing and watching the crowd , is very important, for both crowd and dj to have fun.
$5 discount isn’t huge but thank you. ❤
And how do youthis with vinyl turntable?
hey, it's a amazing video, but a remenber that u have an account at BiliBili, right? Would you mind to share your ID on that platform, so i can follow you there
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world
Gotta love the positivity here! Wishing you the best as well buddy!
Thank you. You as well
Thanks I needed that
Thanx Mate ❤
Thats the nicest thing i have heard. Stay blessed brother
Bro's having the most understandable tutorial of mixing while still explaining crowd reading and sections of songs. Mad lad.
I try my best with crowd reading! I swear, it's one of the most important techniques out there!
The holy grail of DJ transition tutorials. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clear or useful summary of these techniques! Great work!
Praise Arceus! I'm glad you enjoyed the video Pokegod! But yeah, these are great foundation transitions and techniques that can really help you build up your arsenal!
BUT it's very very very useful content. Let's be clear about that. Dj Carlo is a really cool person to share all these things
@@djcarloThank you so much for this video I will download the tracks and practice them. I would love a similar tutorial using these techniques on latin music like merengue, salsa, bachata, reggaeton, dominican dembow. I haven't found any tutorials that use latin music so it's difficult for me to see if the music is structured the same and I just don't know how to identify all the components. One of the saddest things I'm finding where I live is almost all the pro Dj's really don't want to help the ones coming up. Not with music, not with technique. A friend of mine helped me out but I need to get to next level where someone shows me how to do it with latin music. He has given me about about the crowd psychology. I'm on an FLX4 for now and he's on an DDJ SR controller.
This is pure gold!
It is clear you have mastered video editing as well. We’ll done.
It came with the territory! I do get a little bit of help nowadays too
But you haven’t mastered spelling yet
@@aitsokxxx Uhhhh, what did I misspell??
@@djcarlohe’s talking to the other guy “we’ll done.”
@@alexj1898 Oh jebus, hahaha, I didn't even see that. I started doubting every single word I wrote down for a bit hahahaha
I confess, as a DJ for over 25 years I came here to trash talk this video but Carlo nails it with clear concise simple to follow tips I’ve given myself - but his delivery is easier to follow than mine. And yep, this is how we do it. The rest comes in time.
Indeed! A lot of people come to bash the video, and do so without even looking at it, so I really thank you for taking the time to se what I had to say. And you're right: the rest all comes in time 🥳
I concur, I always feel like your videos are going to be low brow but this was a very concise and really comprehensive list of popular mixing techniques we all enjoy using. I like how you build up from the very simple basics to the more advanced techniques. Props Carlo @@djcarlo
I only trash track selection
Being someone who started this DJ'ing thing back in the early 2000's I feel like modern DJs are afraid of the long transition. It's very important to be able to let two songs play together for an extended period of time and to be able to tease elements of the new track into the current one. This goes beyond looping and beat matching and allows your mix to be more artistic and personal. Anyone can slam mix two tracks together but it takes a musical ear to be able to use certain elements of the new track to hype the crowd and give them that "oh shit, is it THAT song?" feeling inside. Never underestimate the value of the slow transition and when I say slow I mean take a minute. Some of my favourite mixes are ones where I've let the mix go so long that you can't tell when the "switch" happens and can't hear the first track disappear. I feel like I remember hearing Oakenfold do this back in the Essential Mix heyday but I don't remember where I picked up the idea and started using it. Don't let the technology make you forget how to do the cool things. Take the same track and play it a 1/4 of a second behind and create your own distortion effect by hand, it sounds more organic, especially if you slide the two songs in and out of pitch as you go and change the "depth" of the effect. You can't get that kind of thing from a button press. As the proud owner of a Pioneer FLX6 and learning to spin on Tech12's I feel it's important to remind newer DJs not to rely on the technology too much.
The manual delay there is something I've yet to cover in my videos, but is a trick I've used in the past for my routines! Indeed, I agree that the long transitions is an art form in itself (not to be confused with slow mixing!), but it just happens not to be my style, so I feel there would be people out there a little more qualified to teach that kind of transition 🥳

DUDE YES!!!!! I just started DJing and I’ve been teaching myself. Ive been using this EXACT technique. Teasing the crowd and getting them hype for the next song is what keeps their attention and energy up.
Hey Carlo, you're explaining this so well, it's a joy to watch your videos! For me as an amateur DJ your videos are extremely helpful and I just wanna say thank you for that!
You're very welcome, and im glad the videos help you out so much! That really makes me happy! 🥳
I was DJing a wedding last weekend with my headphones on, turntables spinning, and my toes tapping. After a few successful dance mixes, she asked me what I was doing. I simply answered "counting".
Indeed! Counting forms the basis of all mixes and transitions (especially useful for those songs with a pesky extra 8 beats in the chorus and such). The transitions and loops here wouldn't be anything without proper counting!
nice very easy way to keep in time
This is the most condensed while comprehensive DJing tutorial I've watched. Excellent. Thank you.
Thats what I try to do best! Quick, condensed, but still dense with information 😄
Carlo. As always, just a top notch vid. I love the way you explain different levels of experience without any ego. You always manage to confirm what I think I'm doing right but then give me so many more ideas. Keep the good work up my friend. Much love from the UK 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm thrilled to hear that you appreciate the way I explain concepts and techniques without ego. It's always my goal to provide helpful and insightful information while encouraging growth and creativity in DJing. I'm glad the video confirmed some of your techniques and also inspired you with new ideas. Your feedback means a lot to me. Sending much love back to you from the UK! Keep up the great work, and if you ever have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy mixing, my friend! 👍🏼🎶
I've seeing your tutorials for more than 2 years now and I've tried to apply every technique you teach in your tutorials, and i can't thank you enough for providing us this much valuable content for free, I've been applying those techniques and I've just got better and better, i don't own a controller yet but some of your techniques can be applied using and dj software or any djing app. On Martin Garrix's birthday i played a dj set on his discord server, and all the people who watched or listened thought i was djing on a controller and they were surprised by the when they got to know that i'm djing with my pc only. I've been appreciated for my smooth mixing style and choices of song. I just want to thank you Carlo it's your tutorials and teachings behind those words of appreciation i get. Thank you Again!!
Keep this amazing work going!!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message! I'm incredibly grateful to hear that my tutorials have been helpful to you over the past two years. It's fantastic to know that you've been able to apply the techniques and improve your skills, even without a controller. Your DJ set on Martin Garrix's discord server sounds like an incredible achievement, and I'm thrilled to hear about the positive feedback you received. Your dedication and hard work truly shine through. Thank you again for your kind words of appreciation, and I will definitely keep up the amazing work!
Bro buy a ddj400 it's 200$ and will change your life
@@jonathanscofield9799 true that! I just got mine and used it for some days and learned so quick :D can't imagine what happens when I learn all this content from Carlo
khareed le bhai ddj flx4, its newer and will have more resell value
@@djcarlo is this a bot reply
I discovered all these techniques by just practicing every day for months. I'm so glad that this validated me! Especially on the loops.
Practice always makes perfect Edson! Keep it up!
Most of the stuff you teach here were already taught previously on your channel but I enjoyed seeing them all condensed into a single video. Your teaching increased a lot in depth and I am surprised you realized how creators don't care some people are new into DJing and assume someone knows what the in/out buttons do. You managed to teach basic knowledge about each controller function and the all around skills a DJ needs. ;D :D
Yup yup! I realized that a lot of other techniques I've taught in the past are scattered across different videos, and they should belong together in one. This is why I read the comments section to this day! 😄
@@djcarlo This is a perfect video for intro DJ's but also reminders for experienced DJ's. It's very linear/straightforward on where to start, and where you can end up. Many thanks for this one!
Thank you for your tips and tricks, plz keep them rolling. Helped me recall memories of my lessons. Cheers...
Where's your video about talking to girls?
Some things, even my powers can't tame
DJ Carlo, thank you so much for doing this video and all the ones that you have too. I have been practising the skills you have showed us and it has really helped me sooo much. Agaiin, thank you man, and keep helping us up and cominig DJ's. You're awesome!!
You're very welcome Gavin! Really glad you love the videos and the content! 🥳
What an extraordinary summary of current DJ techniques ! Your tutorials are easy to follow and give plenty of momentum. Thanks a lot for this. You are mega Carlo !
I'm really glad you think so Vincent! It's funny, I really had to think about which techniques make for some of the best sets, and I really just came back to the basics! With a little extra sprinkling of magic of course
Carlo's clarity is an inspiration for other forms of communication like essays or lectures on any topic. When I get stuck mixing, I watch your videos for inspiration. The basics (with your lovely technical embellishments) get me right back on track....ugh pun.
Such kind words my man. Thank you very much for making my day :)
ive been watching alot of beginner djing videos to prepare for my first set in a long time. and they were all either too basic or too advanced and dont cover what i was missing.
This video is honestly the only video a beginner dj (who understands the absolute basics) will ever need. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Worked hard on making this video as easy to understand as possible:)
I've been mixing my entire OG life and I loved this video! The reason is that it reinforced things I do every time out and I still learned a new trick. Right on Carlo!
Glad you enjoyed the video Bob! I find that, even when doing these pretty "basic" videos, there's always something to learn, even for me! :D
Aside from using the echo effect, I often see open format DJs use reverb as well! Really helps when you have some songs that don’t have intro versions, or when you want to transition to a song that has a recognizable intro!
Very true! That's where you can utilize a "Drop Mix" transition (like for ex: The Next Episode). Good call on using reverb there too Bryant!
id like some videos on reverb and other effects and when and when not to use them .. @dj Carlo
The video overall helps clear up concerns I've had about DJing, and it was cool to learn about the methods of using loops for emergency transition points! Thank you for this!
You're very welcome Ryu! Some of these little tricks have saved my set before, and I just thought everyone should know about them!
djcarlo this may be one of your best videos yet! This confirmed some things I was already doing while clarifying what the next steps are for me to try and upgrade the technique. Thank you!
Indeed! Sometimes, I like going back to the basics that get overlooked in tutorials. Those techniques need more love and exposure!
The clarity of your explanations is incredible! Thank you!
Thanks so much Shayan! I try to make things as clear and concise as possible 🥳
Amazing clear and concise presentation. Fantastic job, Carlo.
For sure! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Hope you found something to add to your DJ arsenal from the video!
Love your content! I’ve been using looping for the past year I think. I’ve been djing for at least 7 years and I’ve only mastered the looping transitions in the past couple of months. It becomes like an addiction. I tend to use loops a loooot in my transitions. Great video as always! Keep up the good work!
That's awesome! Loops are very useful for a lot of transitions, and I do agree that it can be very addictive after a while haha
Of all the hundreds of videos I've watched over time and money spent on memberships or courses, this has by far been the best tutorial I've ever seen. Straight to the point, simple explanations of basic techniques to practice and master and exactly what I have been trying to find for a long time. I had about given up on the hobby despite my love for music. You've really outdone yourself Carlo giving others a run for their money teaching. Now I just might try again starting here and maybe with enough practice I might make a half decent DJane one day. This girl is ready to break out her DDJ400 again! Thank you!
Let's go Jaden! Cant wait to see you get back in the saddle and work that magic
Brilliant!
I've learned more from you in a couple videos than I have in a couple weeks of watching everything else! Thank you!
Really appreciate that! I'm so happy you learned so very much from my videos!
Just started learning how to DJ
and some of the transition (s) tips that’s shown is exactly how I do it.
Thanks for the clear instructions 🙏🏾
Amazing! That means you're already on the right path! 🥳
Top DJ tutorial videos on TH-cam. I'm 44, always been a music producer but only decided to start live dj'ing a couple of months ago. Your videos have been the most helpful and relevant. Cheers!
Amazing! Welcome to the DJ world, and I hope you get to show off your productions to your audience! 😄
Just started a month ago and this has really helped me. Not a lot of people have clear concise videos but this is fantastic! Thank you
I try to make sure I get as much info across as possible, so im really happy you liked the video! 😄
Just wanted to say I started watching these vids again and each one is awesome and fun to watch. Thank you for simplifying your tips and making them enjoyable to watch. It encourages me to try them and get on the turntables asap each day.
Perfect! Really happy the videos hit the right notes for you, and give you that little pep in your step to practice everyday! 🥳
I love the way you teach us step by step and the video notes and clarity, beautifully done. I start tomorrow this lessons
Awesome! Enjoy learning a few new lessons buddy!
Hey! I like the fact that you demonstrate on a FLX4 and show people you don't need the most expensive gear to mix properly. Simple and clear way to use echo and filter....it's all most of us do and all you need so kudos on explaining that well. Your EQ and fader advice, however, is showing the absolute worst (not a problem that it's so basic btw) technique, I'm afraid.....always start with the EQ lowered on the track you're bringing in and then switch the balance with the current track playing if you want to work towards an actual pro level transition....when you get to the point where you can gradually bring in all three EQs while lowering the others, then you'll be there! Oh, and the second (phrasing) and third section (loops is actually the hardest thing to get right so nice to see a simple explanation) were pretty good too btw, so just the EQ work is a real problem!
Thanks for the kind words! Though I stick by what I said for the EQs. I used to use the lowered EQ technique for the track I'm bringing in, but I find that for my kind of genres, it doesn't sound as good. I wouldn't say it's the absolute worst: that would be having all EQs at max when mixing hahaha
I absolutely love my new flx4, getting a mix right is soo addictive
Right?! There's a sense of euphoria and a serotonin blast whenever you get that mix right
Great great video mate. Thank you very much for your content!
For sure man! Lots of these tutorials still coming in the future!
u r my absolute favorite dj to learn from for real!!!
Awww thanks Abigail! I really appreciate that! Helped make my day :D
Put your hands up, in the air put your hands up... In the air
Sounds like an MC on a typical night out haha
i can hear this comment
You're officially my mentor, amazing how clear you are delivering the goods and you don't hold back - you provide beyond
Thank you so much Jose! Really appreciate that, and that's the goal of the channel; to provide clear tutorials for everyone, especially those who want to learn more about the art of DJing! :D
Greeeeat video!
Thank you! Hope you get to utilize something from this video!
The way you teach is amazing! thanks for sharing
Thanks man! I try to keep the videos as friendly and easy to digest as possible
The trans at 1/8 has been one of my new favorites with tempo inc/dec and spins.
Crowd absolutely loves it when you hype em up over the mic too... most people don't know that you yourself can be a transition!
It takes something special to be both the DJ and the MC if you ask me! Also, 100% agree on the 1/8th Trans. Better than the 1/4 for tighter cuts
An easy variation (which helps balancing the overall result during a buildup) is to set the low freq of the next track down while entering, then doing the rest just as showed. For a total newbie I'd suggest not over-using the single knob filter, its results are a bit destructive (especially on hipass, the res is pretty high and noticeable) and trying to mimic the same result using all 3 freq knobs.
Edit: a dj is mostly promoting others' music, if you start overdoing loops and cuts and so on, the end result will be pretty much always the same, ruining both the performance and the songs themselves. Knowing how discreet to be is key.
Thanks for the extra tips and advice!
@@djcarloNope.
Bringing hip hop skills to mixing especially techno adds to the experience as people are doing remix’s on the fly.
Watch Jeff Mills he never lose energy from the crowd.
Cutting up records when both are in the mix is an art in it self.
Too many Dj’s play it safe there are other just as valid Dj styles other than smooth transition.
Masterclass bro
Best tutorial ever. Everything you need in 15 mins.
With that video you can practice and perfect these techniques during hours even days
Thanks man!!
For sure! I try to keep these tutorial videos highly compressed to get as much info out there as possoble!
Thanks for detailed review.
For sure! It helps ensure you get to follow all the steps through and through!
i'm guessing all three things that pro djs use before watching the video
1. perfect beatmatching
2. only using low eq nobs
3. use noise fx before a drop to build the energy and reverb or echo fx when mixing out a song.
Those are some great guesses! Pro DJs often utilize various techniques and tools to enhance their performances. Here are three common elements that pro DJs frequently incorporate:
Perfect beatmatching: Precise beatmatching is essential for seamless transitions and maintaining a consistent flow throughout the set. This skill ensures that the beats of two tracks align flawlessly, creating a smooth and uninterrupted mix.
Strategic use of EQ: Professional DJs often focus on utilizing the low EQ knobs effectively. By skillfully managing the bass frequencies, they can control the energy and impact of the mix, emphasizing the rhythmic elements while maintaining a balanced sound.
Creative use of effects: Adding effects can greatly enhance a DJ's performance. Using noise effects before a drop can build anticipation and increase energy, while incorporating reverb or echo effects during mix-outs can create smooth and atmospheric transitions.
These elements, among many others, contribute to a DJ's mastery and ability to deliver captivating performances. Keep exploring and experimenting with different techniques to further elevate your DJing skills!
With these mixing techniques keep in mind that in a club and on some soundsystems the highs (and mids) can stack up and create very unpleasant resonances. For example what you did at 4:15 could build up the high resonances. Perhaps a bit better thing to do would be to also gradually reduce highs (and mids) on outgoing song while you are mixing in the new song. It requires quite a lot of finesse and critical listening to pull it off smoothly though. In a club setting I reckon it can be tough to really hear what's going on in the highs and mids but for that purpose some clubs may monitor and either correct themselves or provide a tool to track and correct the EQ output on a master.
Correct Rob! The tutorial is really meant to show you how to do it first. Once you bring it to a particular venue, that's where you'll need to adjust. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's tricky. 😄
The first most basic transition sounds best, and eliminates this possibility.
@@spirittravels.Yep. Reason why I started with a normal table-mixer with no seperate EQ's first. Got the hang of it when I was 13 or so (to all you kids out there: you haven't got the faintest clue how much possibilities you have at your disposal these days, stuff in 2001 was still very expensive most of the time, I started with just two regular CD-players and a cheap table-mixer from a second-hand store that was missing all the buttons).
Then found a better table-mixer on the flee-market and bought a real CD-mixing thing with pitch-control shortly after it (250 euro or something of my carefully saved money down the drain).
When I was 18 or so, and had more money to spend, I got a table-mixer with seperate EQ's as I wanted to explore even further. My trusty Rodec BX-14 is still here... but I haven't touched the players (Numark NDX500 from my bare mind) in years now... (too much stuff is in front of them since my uncle passed away...)
Almost all the stuff shown in the video is even impossible for me using just those two NDX500's and a table-mixer, but I'm just not such a controller-type.
What I hope everyone will do is just buy something simple and TRY first. Most of the decks/controllers are already overloaded with features you just won't use in the beginning. Especially if you don't have such a sense of rhythm, start beatmaching (BY EAR!) first.
Also, don't watch too much video's on this subject. Though there are some nice tips offered to you, you will just need to really LISTEN to your music (and this is something completely different than just putting your favourite song up, I usually tried things while mixing, which sometimes ends up really bad).
Develop your own style, find out how to use your EQ's within reasonable limits, and specially how hard it is to even hit those in and out buttons exactly in time (I know, there are controllers and decks that help with quantization and can even be set to different levels of imprecision-elimination, and there are decks where you can even perform minimal adjustments to the in and outpoints of the loop while in in the loop, but just try not to use them...)
If only stagefright would not have been the story of my life...
@@weeardguy Thanks for the update. Excellent reply.👍
@@spirittravels. What RobVice said still holds true, and the most basic transition with every HIGH and MID knob to at least 12 o'clock when both channel volume sliders are at 100% is precisely the starting point for this possibility. Always check how the vocals and samples that make the higher half of the audible freq. range do sound before letting a slider go to 100% when another thing is playing and every HI/MID knob is at least at 0. GAIN controls are there for a reason as well.
Congratulations for the extremely clear and professional explanation
For sure! I always try to make these as clear as possible so everyone can follow along :)
Thank you for all the tips Carlo. I stopped DJing for a number of years, then bought a Traktor s4 to get back into it, but talk about being rusty! Your videos have helped me get back in the swing of things 😄
Dang, going for gold with the S4 Dielma! Good choice if you ask me! And I'm really glad the videos are helping you get back into the swing of things. Keep it up!
talking to girls is the hardest part mentioned
I still haven't mastered that. No idea how I got my wife
"Lets be honest, most pro DJs only do three things." (video of Skrillex redlining)
Ngl, I didn't even notice the redlining! This made me laugh 🤣
Scrillex had to take dj lessons. Not the best example
Holy cow, this was very helpful, thank you!
I am just getting back into mixing after over a decade hiatus and previously using vinyl & cds as my primary media. A lot has changed with all these new buttons, knobs, and features.
There have been some updates over the decades! Welcome back to the DJ life!
You are the man Carlo, eres el tipo mi pana bandido care e ñema, gracias for all the tutorials
Por siempre! More of these tutorials coming up soon
Need a video about paying taxes and talking to girls.
Hahahaha, sorry man, I may do great DJ tutorials, but I can't do tutorials on miracles 😅
I once watched a "Pro" DJ in Zhuhai in the mid oughties. He did "Only 3 Tricks" too: 1) DJ Shuffle or Toe Tap (The DJ Dance) 2) Knobs - he never twisted anything, his "micro" adjustments were so small all he did was touch the two sides of the knob (no change in the sonics - Magic!) and, 3) Fingers on the headphones followed by the sideways head nod in beat with the muzak. 😝
Them's the basics, but they work wonders!
Love You ❤ thank u for sharing
For sure! Hope you get to incorporate some of this into your sets!
Wow! Been teaching myself w/ Serato DJ Pro & a Numark Platinum FX 2 and recently fell into a learning rut.... But this vid answered so many questions I didn't even know I had lol THANKS
That's awesome! Glad the video added some pep back into your step. Enjoy! 🥳
Great video. Awesome work
Thank you! Hope you were able to pick up some useful tricks and tips from the video!
I've recently decided to get into DJing as a hobby, I bought the FLX4 after researching which would be easiest to learn while not being too far away from more advanced equipment as I'd like to level up. These videos have been so useful in getting me up and running, thank you!
That's awesome Kev! Good choice on controller, and I'm really glad the videos have been helping out!
I’ve seen your content everywhere so i decided to subscribe, this actually helped a ton and gave me a bit of mixing advice for my upcoming gig, thanks! next up is learning now to scratch lmao
Woohoo! Thanks buddy, and im honestly glad the contents been making rounds haha. Hope you find more useful videos in here!
Bro thank you for this! You’ve been helping me learn things every time i stumble upon ur videos. Thanks for helping and not gatekeeping 🙏🏻🤝🏻
You're very welcome Fredrick! And more tutorials coming up soon!
Been getting into producing for about half a year now, and djing is something I have always wanted to do. After some friends always give me the aux (without me asking) or a friend letting me be control of what plays at their house parties I think its time I finally learn how to do this shit lol. I hope everyone else is also having a blast.
Thanks Nicko! Can't wait for you to start playing big stages with your productions!!!
Grande vibe Carolina.... let's go
Let's gooooooo!
Love your videos, Carlo! Keep em up
Thank you! More tutorials always just around the corner 🤩
Holy cow this has been one of THE best videos I’ve seen yet to help me start off mixing.
I'm glad the video is doing what I wanted it to do! Make the most out of it buddy, and I can't wait to see where you take your mixing game in the future!
Hey Carlo,
I love watching your videos, this one is another nice video especially for the beginners. Im in the industry for 15 years and counting, but there's always more to learn. Thank you for your content :)
Thanks buddy! I always try to keep those just getting into DJing in mind with my videos, so no one gets left behind :)
Thnx Carlo, This is the most condensed and super duper course for everyone! Keep DJing
For sure bud! Hope you got something new from this little video!
Watching your videos make a lot fun and im burning to practise on my ddj flx4. Greetings from Germany - vielen Dank 🎉
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that watching my videos brings you joy and inspires you to practice on your DDJ FLX4. Greetings to you from Germany as well! Keep up the great work, have fun with your DJing, and may your passion continue to grow! 🎉
Absolutely amazing! Bookmarked.
This is a good video to bookmark! Hope you got some new ideas from it! 😄
You are the best! I went to a dj course and I learned a lot from your videos than in the course.
There's always more to learn! Do check out my courses too if you want some in-depth lessons Coconaii! They're for sale of Sellfy :D
bro very very informative love your techniques iam a dj from trinidad u never to old to learn blessings
Indeed! Even while putting out these videos, I'm still learning new techniques by the day
I usually have the bass of the track I'm mixing in turned down instead, but that's because I'm typically mixing melodic content over a dubstep or dnb bassline, then swap the basses when it hits a breakdown
4 deck mix and the transitions you can create are amazing
Thanks Matt! All that practice had to go somewhere haha
Thanks DJ Carlo. Your tips so super handy and relatively easy to try out ! 😀
Small tips usually go a long way! You're very welcome!
Thanks for all the essential tips !
For sure! Always more of this coming for you on this channel! 🥳
Excellent vid!
Thank you! Hope this gave you an even clearer idea of DJing 🥳
So happy you are highlighting longstoryshort, found him recently and was blown away by his technical skill
I have so much respect for that guy! Highly underrated DJ
Just picked up a used Rane Seventy-Two to use with my SL-1200s I haven't touched in 15 years. It feels great getting back into mixing and using DVS again after all of these years. Thanks for the great refresher course that would help me get back into this.
Nice! How are the 1200s holding up? Those things are absolute work horses, but man 15 years is a long time for them to stay stagnant haha
Uma das melhores aulas de mixagem do TH-cam 👏👏
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you learn so much from the channel!
GREAT Videos Carlo. Really well presented and very helpful tips and tricks. Cheers mate.
For sure! Just wanted to reiterate some of the best basic tricks I had in my arsenal
This is a clear video to comprehend. This is great. This can be mastered in 1 weeks worth of hours of practice. Of course, one must know their music playlist front and back. Always.
Always! That's why I always encourge people to really know their music
Thanks!!! Finally found the right video!!!
Indeed! Best Nuggets of information you'll need to maintain your DJing journey
so impressed with everything in this vid from the education simplicity to the edits. nice!!
Thank you! I try to make these tutorials as accessible as possible to everyone, so editing is really a big part of it! 😆
Thank you so much for making videos so detailed and visually expressive 🔥🖤🙏
You're welcome as always! It's really how I want my videos to be from hereon out!
@@djcarlo 🙏🙏🙏
Than you very much as always Dj Carlo.
And you're very welcome as always! Make sure to master these techniques!
This makes soooo much clear and makes it so much easier (to understand) and do what others do
Glad the video really helps out buddy! Make sure to make good use of these lessons!
The loop on the outro for a missed cue is clever. It sounds good. I'll be implementing that going forward!
It's saved my butt multiple times!
Man I learned all of this on vinyl before youtube and digital dj'ing was a thing! Anyone remember looking at a vinyl and seeing the visual change in the grooves? Other than practice that is how we used to mix a vinyl we'd never played before. Great video man!
Ain't technology grand for allowing us to see the waveforms? Helps make things so much more visual! And man, these techniques just never go out of style. 🥳
oh viejo, muchas gracias por compartir esta info, vale oro!!!! saludos desde stgo-chile.
Para siempre! Enjoy the lessons!
for level 3 of the first technique, if you’re using a hercules djcontrol inpulse 500 or a controller with a similar effect rack then the effect knob will already apply a filter on top of whatever effect you’re using so that might make it even easier
Absolutely! If you're using a Hercules DJControl Inpulse 500 or a similar controller with an effect rack that includes a filter knob, it can indeed make Level 3 of the first technique even easier. The filter knob allows you to apply a filter effect on top of whatever effect you're using, adding an extra layer of creativity and control to your mixes. It's great to leverage the capabilities of your specific controller to enhance your DJing skills. Keep exploring and experimenting with different effects to create unique and exciting mixes. Have fun and happy DJing!
WOW! Crystal clear explanations. Thanks 🙌
That's what I try to go for with the channel! Thanks Mats!
Using the looping to correct an early or late mix in was an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
For sure! It's saved my butt so many times. Just be smart about where you loop!
I accidentally got lucky with a loop-intro at a high school prom last year. My mix went south real quick and looping gave me just enough time to avoid a train wreck. Now I have to see if I can replicate in "on purpose"!?! LoL
Great video.
Thanks man! Pretty comprehensive from my Pov hahaha
Dj Carlo🙏 you are a blessing man. Great video👌
