►SCRIPT
Number 1:
Make video mixes like how I do on TH-cam insert demo of MWM, and demo of another mix with me in front
So if you wanna make something similar to that, it’s pretty easy.
You’re gonna need to do 5 things:
1. Conceptualize a mix
2. Set up your equipment and practice that mix
3. When you’re ready. Set up your camera
4. Press record on your DJ software, and camera, and turn on screen record on your computer
5. After recording everything together in a perfect take. Simply import those 3 clips to your editing software and put that mix together.
Now there are 2 things that I like about making video mixes.
Number 1 is that you also practice and get better in DJ’ing.
Recording that perfect set will take a lot of time. Trust me. So the more you repeat your mix over and over again, the better you’ll become at practicing whatever mix or transition you’re trying to show off. Remember, if you can’t do it in front of a camera, how can you even do it in front of an audience ;)
Number 2 is that you make content to better market yourself as a DJ
Growing a fanbase on TH-cam, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Instagram, and even Facebook is really the new battlefield for DJ’s who wanna get booked and recognized. You see, If you’re not a producer, you gotta show the world how you mix, and what you mix!
So the more you focus on growing your brand through making content, the better off you’ll be in the long run.
So make those mixes and videos!
Number 2:
Download FREE Music!
So one of the questions I get the most in my videos is “where do i download my music”. And the short answer to that is, NOW, I download most of my music through DJ record pools like DJ City, and BPM Supreme. You can think of these record pools as libraries of music you can download for a monthly price.
Now the thing is, not everyone here has the means to afford a record pool. Most DJ’s, at least young beginners, can even barely afford DJ equipment, what more a monthly paid subscription service?
So here’s what I did when I was starting out, and when couldn’t steal my Moms credit card.
I….ripped music from TH-cam and Soundcloud. And I’m not proud of it.
So anyway, here’s how I did it back in the day. Now, I’m not encouraging you to do it, I’m just letting you know how…..
1. Find the track you want, and copy the URL
2. Google TH-cam Mp3 Ripper, and choose whichever one suits your fancy
3. Paste your link, and click download.
4. Feel guilty, because you’re now a pirate.
Number 3:
With your new music.
Properly prep them, and you can find a super handy video on how to do just that over here.
But to summarize it.
Analyze your tracks, beat grid them, cue point the beginning of the track you want to use, and cue point the sections where you want to mix in and out.
Now this is a tedious process, but it’s a good practice to do when you download new stuff.
Because every new track you’ll download and prepare can instantly be used to DJ professionally with!

It's the way he dropped it 😂😂😂😂 #djlnr
LOVE.......
@@sites4sight Or download free track and feel like a pirate, you are guilty now 😉
Soundcloud pro is best for me
Thanks to this video, I was able to rip all of Carlo's video mixes, stitch them together, and now I have a successful Mixcloud! Thanks Carlo!
You’re welcome dude😂😂
Haha
BILLIANT! IM SERIOUS to get myself out there! This is what im DOING IMMEDIATELY! Thank YOU! MUCH RESPECT DJS! ❤❤❤
Go for it!! It's the best way to make use of your time 🤩
The 'problem' isn't live streaming, it's the viewers.
I have been a DJ since 1980, and still DJ now.
I want people to listen to the music, and how I play/mix/present a journey of audio delights.
But, 99% of live stream viewers are only interested in what the stream looks like. The DJ's with by far the most viewers, are not very good at actually DJ-ing at all, in fact, some are absolutely fucking terrible.
They simply upfade tracks into one another, and those tracks are all recorded at the same BPM meaning they don't need to beatmatch.
Then these terrible DJ's will pretend to turn every knob on the mixer (while actually not doing anything in reality, the audio doesn't change - it's all for show), and dance around, flirt to the camera, and generally show off.
If you are a 18-22 year old, pretty girl, with big tits, you will get the most viewers !
There are a small number of listeners who don't care what the stream looks like, because they are intelligent enough to actually care about the music.
Yes! I agree on what you have laid down about viewers! Thanks for the input!
@@djcarlo What is your nuber because I want to do the dj with you
Indeed... I discovered this once Corona hit and I started watching DJs... I've been doing this for 20 years and actually took a break for the last five or six... I knew controllers had sync but I had no idea that the turntables now are built with a sync button no wonder everybody has four and everybody is a DJ because nobody literally has to learn how to mix... It's pathetic and embarrassing and I'm actually glad that I'm not on the scene anymore I just DJ for me
@@yoresistersass9326 100%
DJ-ing is a fashion statement these days.
It is so easy to line up beat peaks on a screen, and add a few effects, you don't even need to actually listen to the music anymore, you can mix perfectly with just your eyes.
I miss the days when you had to actually mix with your ears.
And modern DJ's all boast about 'oh it's just the same and you can do more things with software' blah blah no it's not, it's piss easy compared to proper DJ-ing.
If these modern DJ's had to go back to the late 70's early 80's and do great live sets in a sweaty old club with belt drive turntables and real vinyl they would crumble.
Fuck off saying you get the most viewers for having big tits mate. Just because nobody wants to watch your stream doesn't mean women are the problem.
If you are a new dj just starting out your most important job is to acquire quality music, not quantity. Your first purchase should be two solid state drives. Buy great music high audio quality. Build a library like you are collecting swords or guns, your tracks are your weapons. Borrow equipment at first. Go to your friends and use his/her equipment. Learn the basics first. You can acquire equipment little by little. New DJs almost always put the cart before the horse, buying equipment before having a highly curated musical library. You should know your music inside and out. You should know how and why certain music works together. You should have a basic understanding of musical theory and song composition. Learn about mixing in key. You are a chef, preparing a 7 course meal. Never do free gigs, you cheapen the craft. Instead, learn your craft by apprenticing under a veteran DJ. If you can’t play a great dinner set at wedding, you won’t understand how to be an opener. Every new DJ wants to play the peak hours, but have never opened up for the headliner. Pay your dues, learn the DJ craft and when you venture out by yourself you can be confident that what you are charging is fair. I don’t need to DJ for money, I DJ because I love it. But we charge because if we don’t we set a bad example, we spoil people into thinking our art is cheap.
Absolutely Chris! There's a method to the madness we call DJing. I do say a good library and basic skills are your foundation; the mixing in key, musical theory, etc. will all work their way in the more you spin, and you'll find that you're using those skills without even thinking later down the road. Thanks for this!
I liked the stealing music part 'not to encourage' but you are right. Life is unfortunate, but there is a lot of unfortunate things going on.
Controversial but real talking there!
DJ carlo atendido: "my dj friends"
his dj friends after showing how to rip their music: "not anymore"
Yo I buy my music now but you are THAT DUDE for being real about ripping music lol
Real talking!
Lollll man. At least you keep it real man
@@djcarlo you can give me your Instagram Name? I want to tell you
I have been so tempted to ask the same question now I know lol. I really enjoy your video tutorials since it's something I've been interested in learning
RIGHT! The entire DJ community frowns upon it. Understandably so. However, some beginner DJs can’t afford to spend $$ on music if they’re not making any money in return yet. I don’t suggest ripping music either but I think everyone should live within their budget
With this Coronavirus and quarantine, I found so many low profile DJs streaming, some better than a lot of the popular ones out there. Let them shine!
Who?
2 years later you still influence people all over the world Carlos with your well informed video's. Thank you and God bless you
I try to make my videos as timeless and relatable as possible haha
I can’t stress how amazing you (DJ Carlo) and your lessons are. Simply phenomenal!
Awwww! Glad and appreciate you love it! Stay awesome!
Hey, this may sound crazy, but would you be interested in doing a video with old dj controllers? I have a 10 year old dj controller that my cousin gave to me as a gift, and I find it hard replicating some of your lessons. It’s a Numark Mixtrack. I’m curious how a pro dj such as yourself (dj Carlo) would implement techniques on a controller with limited functionality. I think it would be a cool video for amateurs such as myself. Thank you!
I'm a firm believer that as soon as an artist plays songs for the people and the radio, the song then becomes the property of the public. I still get my music from TH-cam. I never felt bad for doing so either, I knew when I played my music that it would do its intended purpose and soothe the soul
Great insights! Thank you so much!
The best tip is to cue point tracks. I love to cue point intro/outro, buildup, breakdown, drops, tempo changes, and vocals. This mind numbing process makes me feel more prepared
Thank you so much for watching! 👍👍👍 Great tip!
Your lessons are the best we use them with all our students. Thanks for being real about everything!
Awwwww! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing them to more folks! Glad you like them!
I was actually looking forward to see you do a livestream this ECQ. So its not gonna happen 😢 always listening to your mixes anyway. It Made me sane and happy! 😊❤️
Sorry! But I'm updating the channel every now and then so it's just a taped streaming. Lol. Thanks for your support as always!
Quarantine is extended, so you DJs better be listening to DJ Carlo, haha.
Yeahhhh! More time to practice too!
0:54 this is the part I’ve been breaking my head to do so I can upload my mixes to my channel, but of course I have to practice the mix like you put here. I will be working on this right now!!! Thank you Carlo!!!
For sure! Just make sure you make good use of the newfound knowledge hehe
@@djcarlo I’m definitely going to make good use of this knowledge! It’s going to be a very exciting new year!!!
@@djcarlo Definitely hermano!!! 👍

Awesome tips I have prepping my songs even before the lockdown and I have been able cover a lot of that now. How do you decide to set set your outro cue especially when you don’t want play the full song. I have pretty much been using the second chorus depending on the songs.
Please Indonesian subtitle 🙏
Thank you brother for your secrate Record collection tricks....🤘
It's quite annoying, fb mutes dj's during live sessions eventhough there's a disclaimer posted.
carlo, the thing is that the people who are doing live streams are international producers and DJs. one can understand them doing streams. they are established professionals who are mostly promoting their music. international producers don’t necessarily show off their DJ skills and i am pretty sure none of them even intend to. thanks
This is true! But during this quarantine period, there's a pressure for people to be relevant or at least visible on social media. So in case of live streaming, here are other things to do!
Thank you Carlo! This is exactly what I was thinking. I've been learning to DJ since 2017 but haven't really done any official gigs. Mostly made mixes which have been pretty well received. I've gotten formal instruction & gotten a lot better. My plan was to really get out & pursue it more but covid hit. Twitch seems a little tacky in some sense & I wanted to get more creative & I personally find more interest in the live/recorded mix sets on youtube. Thanks again! Your videos are super helpful.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad this content helped you out! Cheers!
To get more field experience. Hit up friends and family and offer to Dj the next BBQ or backyard birthday party.
Great for the summer. And just think once the beer and wine is flowing they will think your a Dj god. lol.
Since your starting out. You might find yourself busy for the first summer. Its what I did as a 16/17 beginner. That was 35 years ago.
Its the same advice I've given to the guys I've helped in their startup.
Cheers.
Good luck.
Thank you Carlo , been subscribed for over a year and you've grown your fan base so much! Thanks for all your help :)
thank you for the tips!
my favorite tip was the 3rd one, although i have discovered doing it myself, i wish i have seen this tip before, it is a great cue-mixing technique.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for being here!
Stop the judgement. Ripping music is something loads of broke DJs have had to do to sharpen their skills. Many headliners did it and if you ask them they will admit it.
This is truth!
Start
Go
You guys are on time! Haha! Thanks!
DJ Carlo Atendido hi i love your videos an is you that make me do dj THX
@@malthepetersen2665 Yay! Thanks! You'll learn more about DJing in my channel!
everytime when i see your a new videos, i learn something new about djs.. thanks dj carlo .
Happy to hear that! My pleasure!
This have been helpful,i cant livestream because facebook keeps taking it down so i would just make videos and share it directly trough my friends thanks dj carlo
That works Darryl! Less problems as well with social media that way
My first decks arrived on Monday and I’ve just dropped my first little mix largely from what I’ve learned by watching all your channels! I’m fairly pleased with it based on my limited time! Thanks for all your really helpful videos!
I’m using this time away from work to take online dj courses and putting together mixes to upload on MixCloud. Just received my MacBook that’ll be fully dedicated to DJing. Just hustling my butt off
Good for you! And enjoy your MacBook!
This is an awesome sharing!!!
I spent hours and hours on my deck to get the mixtape perfect. Ahahah... and even editing a medley MV for the mixtape.
That's awesome! Good luck!
Last step: Use Fakin’ the Funk app after ripping music to appreciate just how bad these audio files are.
Preparing & practice is the key to great videos and I have started to use stream labs to get more professional at my live-streams and multi stream, yes it a lot hard work but does pay off as my audience knows how much work has been involved as they love my shows and always come back for more
Top tier advice for the lockdown... thanks 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
honestly wish i knew this soner, so much time wasted when I could have been doing this to start with, I don't have the money for a audio interface but this works just as good, thanks my man!!
For sure Kerzy! It's funny but, nearly 4 years later, the advice still holds up!
@@djcarlo very true
Got my DDJ 200 Saturday love it looking into live streaming
Don't forget to get the right equipment for streaming if you really want to get into it! Clean audio is key!
@@djcarlo Yes I’m gonna live stream on my iPhone 13 mini,gonna order a rig , tripod,speakers and dj laptop tabel
The way you explained it, is just perfect, is very professional, very useful , thank you!
Glad you think so! Tried as much as possible to nail down all the things I had to for this tutorial video :)
Hey @DJCarloAtentido what do You think about making a video about livestreaming? how to do it, what equipment You need, how to stream it on Facebook for example, how to put your camera and microphone together on your livestream and The most important how to stream your master volume.I think IT would be a Good content. You can help many DJ's who want to start streaming but don't have a clue HOW.Greetings from Poland
That's a good follow up! Thanks for the idea!
I love that Filipino accent. Beautiful people with beautiful voices
That's honestly a first! Thank you for the kind words there buddy!
Thanks for mentioning Traktor! It's like people are forgetting about it and it's STILL an amazing piece of software! OK,,Native Instruments is not the most "up to date" company right now but I still believe they're going to come back with a new "engine" and blow us away! Am I a dreamer? Time will tell. C'mon Native Instruments,,,get your shit together!!
Hoping for that too! It's always awesome when companies innovate! Thank you for watching! Woot woot!
DJ Carlo Atendido My pleasure!!
I am experimenting with recording my mixes right now, a possible way to make this process more efficient is to use OBS studio to set up all of your video sources/mixing software into one frame, then recording everything already baked together. Saves a lot of time on the back end editing and allows for some interesting picture-in-picture looks and layering :)
Great tip! I can't wait to try that by myself too!
Ryan - do you have videos? I am learning OBS and want to use my MacBook Air camera and iPhone 8 to record my sets but finding it difficult?
@@fifeladdie1536 I am practicing a few mixes right now to record, I'll definitely drop the links when they are all set
@@fifeladdie1536 If U want to use your Iphone (or an android phone) there are plenty of apps available for free and easy to integrated in OBS as I pretty much do it myself. Also if you want a cheap and useable option for a camera U can always get a $50 action cam and use as a webcam. With that setup I created this www.twitch.tv/videos/619867576
Prep, prep , prep, PREP!!! I feel like this is the most important
Couldn’t emphasize more!
It cost almost nothing to get into live streaming. Everyone has a phone in their pocket, and all you need is an iRig2 to get started on twitch, youtube, IG, etc. Video editing is something very few know anything about.
That's true Matthew! But I do feel like there's a lot more to be gleaned from video editing in the long run.
I also Ripped music out from TH-cam and Soundcloud when I was starting which I felt guilty about. I threw away those Ripped music already. What I would suggest is to get Bootleg Packs which are also free and the sound quality is way better. Speaking of Sound Quality, I would recommend an application called "Spek" for you to check the sound quality of those tracks that you got from Bootleg Packs.
After that, I had a Free Trial from BPM Supreme (Yes, They give Free Trials for new potential customers!) I stuck with them for almost a year and now that I have collected a decent amount of music I now buy music from Beatport.
Garry Malalo-an Spek means bacon in Dutch lmao
Nice recommendations!
@@subele_music Yo! I didn't know that. I actually spent two years of my childhood in Rotterdam and I can't recall coming across that word. That's something good to know though. Bedankt! :-)
Garry Malalo-an oh leuk! graag gedaan!
Feel bad about yourself because you are now a pirate 🏴☠️ 😂
LOL! Aye!
😂
The cue points location is a good advice. Thank you.
You bet! You're welcome! Time to analyze the tracks and prepare them during the lockdown!
We well said and absolutely amazing video! thank you so much Carlo you are one of the best youtubers for all the DJs.
you are the realest DJ on youtube. Fam I've even created a channel because of you. Thanks. You've helped me make money last year. I'm even making money and better mixes now.
Respect for being 500% real about downloading music, not a lot of people can do that!
Thanks, man. We all do it lol. People should stop acting all high and mighty!
Working on sound levels is also a good skill to have before going live. Auto Gain is not bulletproof. What I’m making sure I practice right besides different genre transitions for open format djaying.
Oh yeah! Thanks for pointing that one out!
I'm sure ripping it won't be true 320kbps but dude learning a lot from you keep up the good content
Thank you so much, Mike!
I used to get music like that. But then when I decided to get serious about djing, I started to get the same songs on Beatport. It feels so good to use original tracks. 😎😎
Ohhhh right! Awesome! Good for you!
We already did a mix, but we don't get any feedback if they are good or not...
Could someone give us feedback?
Where is the mix?
Congrats on your mix!
I've fallen a bit into the trap of playing it safe and not doing enough actual mixing as I'm enjoying listening to the songs I've selected and day-dreaming of playing them in front of an appreciative audience one day! I do however use hot cues and beat jumps and the occasional effect, but this video has inspired me to be a bit more adventurous and focus more on honing my mixing / filming / editing skills to complement what I believe is a good ear for great music.
Be more adventurous John! It's always good to try out new ideas and techniques in your DJing life!
Run a line from the mixer to the laptop for sound. Use a Webcam for video. Download vmix free 90 day trial. Make your stream. It's really that simple.
If anyone needs help setting it up, message me and I'll guide you
Thanks for sharing this!
I love you but can’t support this, there are other means of finding free and often unreleased music and bootlegs :(
I love you too but I get your philosophy!
Forums, blogs, SoundCloud, mixcloud all sources of free music I used before I got into record pools and I mostly just buy my tracks now when I can’t find them on record pools. Only use TH-cam if I absolutely can’t find the song on a record pool or other online marketplace
I download a lot of bootleg edits from various Soundcloud pages to get around record pools. If they are rips I make sure to add ".128" before the end of the file name to distinguish from high quality files.
I’m been improving like you said and thanks to your well explained tips It’s so much fun!! (Cough) and better.
Keep it up! Great to hear!
Bro, I know we're all in a bad place, but thanks for the content. You are so slept on.
True brother. We can fight thru this. Thanks for the support ⭐️
I wanna add something to do this and say you should ALSO do streaming and heres why i think that. I have with a couple of friends a small event with me and another dj for a livestreaming event and in the past few weeks i have been practicing a LOT on new skills like baby scratching, better transistions and tone play mixing and i have become much better because of that. I wanna be better and then show it live on the live stream to show what i have learned and also because it sounds better and it looks better. A live stream event can be a thing to look forward to and have a deadline which means you have a goal for your practice which in turn will motivate you more.
Honestly, there are sites now that give you 320 kB mp3 conversion rates, as long as you know how to get the best audio settings on TH-cam, your tracks will sound perfectly fine in 95% of the situations most people are DJ’ing in, as 95% of your audience will have absolutely no idea/care what the quality is lol
I noticed there's a very slight dip in audio from YT rips though, especially if the songs tend to have a lot of highs in them. Audience might not notice, but you can never tell who will!
No matter what the youtube compression takes away from the song. Even if you could download flac files it still wouldn't sound as good. This of course only really matters on big systems though.
There's a website that a lot of producers use called Hypeddit to give away free music because the site is a download gate (helps build socials and interactions while building a listener base). Check the Hypeddit chart relative to the genre you mix to get quality free music and to support producers by getting their music heard!
Yay! Thanks for sharing this gem!
Thanks. love how you keep it short and simple! Genius!
Cool! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I love u Carlos you absolutely a life saver
For sure Helder! Glad to have been of help!
Mix-cloud is the way to go for DJs and live-streaming sets .. thanks for sharing your thoughts tho👍🏾
No doubt!
Play DJ for me...far better
I can afford record pools but can't join them, because they ask for information that a only professional DJs who are already doing gigs can answer. So i have to stick to streaming music from soundcloud, so there for i can't do any gigs for now unless they have some strong wifi.
Well, I would recommend trying to just skate around those by filling up the answer sheets with random information. Don't keep yourself bound by wifi!
What's the alternative to downloading songs from TH-cam ???
ZipDJ, DJCity, Beatport, and a lot more too!
Big fan man I do afro beat and you teach me allot ... Am still to learn scratching with a fader ...I have been watching your tutorial videos a bunch ...
Love from Cameroon
Number 2 for me Is different. I use SoundCloud go plus to get my tracks.
That is another way to do it! Better actually.
I'm literally the guy who's always pirating tracks because i'm just a beginnee and I can't afford monthly subscriptions. I don't even have a DJ Controller also. All i have is my phone and speakers, but still it doesn't bother my DJing. I just use what i have for now, and i'm proud of it. (Not the pirating, i'm not proud of that thing, lol)
Even though still doing mixes on my phone but yeah... I don't live stream and only do content out of my mixes up until today in this trying times and also practice my mixing skills and also make music. 👌So great content DJ Carlo and more power to you! ✊🔥
How I wish I could just do mixes and upload but no matter what songs I choose I always get copyright infringements. And no, I'm not choosing the most popular tracks
Try checking out my video on uploading copyrighted music. Might help out a bit, especially before fully uploading things.
Hey Carlo hope you are well i already am learning to produce as well as DJ but these were great pieces of advice thanks man
Happy to help! Yes! Produce good music! Good luck!
DJ Carlo Atendido thank you man you too
@@DJ-kt5bk From which channel are you learning music production?
DJ Carlo - you should try the Denon DJ Engine Prime platform. Easier cue points (beat jump!), faster and more accurate analysis of tracks and the standalone hardware is top notch (better than Pioneer, IMHO). I feel you might like it. Thank you for the tips...I appreciate your videos!
Thanks for the tip! I'll see what I can do!
when im not busy i go through a crate and check my cue points and re do any that are not right .I might sort out loops as well.Things is its an as i go thing because there is a lot of music to sort out
And we can all use this time to prepare cue points!
As someone who's been making music for a few years I actually don't use a laptop or any software. Most of my songs are done on the spot/raw with a ddj200 I'll use apps like Mixvibes and WEdj for some effects during those moments of live recording but other than that I don't have the patience to sit and use something like flstudio and edit tracks. It's not fun. It's more fun doing everything raw and on the spot like how old school DJs did it. Everything sounds better unplanned. You don't necessarily need a laptop connected. Hell all you just need is a smartphone with Mixvibes and WEdj and a pioneer ddj 200 and your pretty much good to go. That's at least 160 bucks the pioneer mixer alone. You don't necessarily need a high budget.
Thanks for sharing this! I agree! As I always say, it's not about the gear but how you use it that really counts!
1st one was awesome
Thanks 😊 Glad you liked it!
You are an amazing Videomaker, i love you studio!! wow
Thank you so much 😀
@@djcarlo Please, im also a videomaker and deejay
i dont feel like a pirate.... the way i see it is sharing other peoples music to their and ours benefit so more people have the pleasure of listening to it... :D
Hahaha! Oh boy!
@@djcarlo i feel smart... thank you for noticing me :)
Could you do a video of how to go full monk mode during quarantine to get better at Djing.. like how long to practice, exercises etc....?
It was worth watching.. thanks for sharing this valuable information 🙏🏾🔥
Glad you enjoyed it! You're welcome!
What you can do to livestream your music from a dj controller for example ddj sb3 you can put the cables that normally goes to the speaker into the microphone jack of your pc then change the input to the dj controller and u can stream it that way
Oh! Thanks for pointing that out!
@@djcarlo after 10 months you still reply to comments damn! Anyways thank you for learning me so much of djing and because of you I actually bought a dj controller! Keep the great content out there!
Hi Carlo.
What version of Rekordbox DJ do you have?
Thanks for 2 months free skill share subs. Rushed to your YT for this. YAAAAS! 🥳🥳🥳
Carlo, can you make a mix with seratondj lite and ddj-sb3? Thanksss!
Ohhhh! That can be done in the future videos! Thanks for requesting!
What tripod do you use for your videos to make the shot from above? looks great!

Welcome aboard! Stay subscribed to get more of my tutorials and mixes!
Awesome videos man!
What equipment do you use to get those amazing overhead shots of your controller? :)
I setup a rig / crane to have overhead shots.
@@djcarlo Thanks man! :)
I just converted back to vinyl and it's getting EXPENSIVE!💸💸💸💸💸
Not really agreed. Uploading on TH-cam = copyright strikes and claims. TikTok live: talk through a mic and communicate with you audience. After growing an online fanbase, gifts will finally start paying back the investment and you feel supported.
Highly depends really! I've heard that songs can get taken down on other apps if they're not in the database
@@djcarlo I'm talking about TikTok LIVE broadcast sessions, no posts on this/these platform(s).
Note: Female Dj's with sando's doing livestreams grows fast than mens. You know the reason why
Bcoz there's bouncing boobs😂

@They should have never given me internet Lol Sexism getting yourself disrespected lmao. Oh yeah disrespect, you dont deserve it
Super cool tips as always 🔥🔥🔥
For sure man! Hope you always get to find some use in them
🙏🙏🙏
That’s very informative tips thanks once again Carlo 🔥🔥🔥
I am really glad that I have been already doing this instead of live streaming! And now after seeing this video I feel that I was doing the right thing!! :D
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!
I know this is an older video, but you can also use Rogue Amoeba's Loopback Audio software to route your Rekordbox output as the "microphone-in" on the Quicktime screencapture. The advantage of this is that it also allows you to use the same technique with Audacity to grab quick samples from your favorite shows or movies. I use it to record video AND audio of my zoom classes for calc and physics so I can watch them on my own time later, only at double the playback speed since those professors talk way too slowly and I don't want to listen to someone chew their words for 3 hours.
Also, I wasn't gonna say it, but you already did, you can use the above technique to grab MUCH more reliable rips than using a 3rd party link-download portal ;)
OUTSTANDING VIDEO CARLO! -Kuya Short
Strongly disagree with TH-cam rips. Quality is horrible and it’s an awful habit to get into. Not to mention file corruption, malware and other dangers with downloading files on pirating sites.
That's the caveat though!
@@djcarlo youtube-dl downloads the track in full quality. It is exactly the same as watching the video in the browser.
Option -F you can control the exact format that comes.
youtube-dl.org/
Pedro Estrela too bad TH-cam does some awful audio compression and processing that seriously changes the track, you’ll never get the same thing out it is heavily reprocessed. Phasing issues, compression, frequencies chopped off. You may not hear it on a crappy sound system but play it in a large nightclub and you will ask, “where’s the bass”
Chris Leed thats where you use spek or faking the funk to delete the ones where this actually happens.
Which is a vast minority if you use youtube-dl -F bestaudio
Pedro Estrela there is no way to undo compression that messes with frequencies. I realize there are more “reliable” ways to download tracks. But they are still modified from their original form no matter what due to TH-cams compression algorithms.
Your videos are so far the best 🎉
Thanks buddy! Just trying to educate and entertain with the videos!
Do you do any tips or tutorials on any baisic music theory that would be good to know for djing? I'm looking up tutorials and find that said quite a bit. Loving the videos BTW, really helping out 👍
Wow thank you so much for the first 2 months free this is amazing 😍
Hey Carlo,
just seen this video. I just sold my RX2 cause I didn't need it anymore and never really got to try it out fully. But I still love getting new music, sorting it and preparing it in iTunes and Rekordbox. Since I never really got the time to DJ, but I don't want to let go of it completely, I would like to get some advice.
Should I buy a DDJ400 for learning scratching, mixing and effects basics later (still got a RB5 license)?
Or should I rather jump to another software and mixer (like Denon Prime Go) and start learning there?
You got the experience. I just felt overwhelmed by all the functionality of the RX2 and wanted to learn everything at once. I bet alot of beginners do the same mistake: I need this effect and that effect. Later we realize: no we don't need this. We need beatmatching, basic understanding of music math and good preperation to make people feel good on the dancefloor. Nothing of that is what the best DJ gear can get us (even with sync).
Prime Go or DDJ400 for learning? Less is more. Be honest with me.
With this mentality: "Later we realize: no we don't need this. We need beatmatching, basic understanding of music math and good preperation to make people feel good on the dancefloor." It will only mean that any DJ controller will do, then. Nothing is wrong about that.
But personally speaking, as a fan of techniques and tricks, I want to work on effects and cover as much as I can with respect to the available features. Followers have different styles and genres. This gives life to my channel - a sense of purpose to teach techniques and tricks. So in my case, the more, the merrier!
@@djcarlo Thanks for sharing your perspective. I will keep that in mind when I make my decision.
Thank you Carlo! :)
No worries! Cheers!
What dj pool or resource would you use to find more obscure music like video game soundtracks, old television show tunes, or old international music like Chinese opera? I would really like to find good quality audio resources without having to resort to ripping TH-cam. Thanks for your content! Your videos inspired me to save and purchase a ddj400 to learn a new skill while all this stuff is happening in the world
