Jonathan, I recently bought my first DJ kit and I've been using your videos to try and learn the basics of mixing and the likes. I very much appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos, and they are entertaining as well as educational - I can learn with a big fat grin on my face because of the energy that you display. Many thanks!
omg just stumbled over these tutorials, this guy is spot on ... if only i`d known a decade ago instead of having an earphone clammed sooo tight to my ear trying to block out an overnuked monitor lol, thing i`m gonna dust my decks off its been too long
Thanks for this Johnathan. I've been DJing for a while but I've always been interested in how different DJs setup their headphones etc. I have a question regarding split or blend. I tend to use split with my headphones if I'm spinning at home as I don't have monitor speakers, but when I'm out I find the single headphone/monitor the best setup. Would you agree with this as a good way to practise for live events (when not having monitor speakers available)? Many thanks
-Set gain (with upfaders up) to zero DB at the loudest passage of the song. Then adjust your amp's gain and you headphone gain. NOTHING should ever go into the red (+db) gains. Using the multimeter to set "master out" is also important.
how can i get rid of the delay in my sound system? when im monitoring, i don't hear the sound from my speakers instantly, but actually a split second later, so when im trying to beatmatch it makes life hard. is ther a better way to set my speakers up? do they need to be behind me?...rather than beside or infront of me?
What are you actually doing with your headphones? Do you play mix the second song with the first one (playing out loud), and just bring in the second song?
Hi, im looking for the video on how to set mixer volume/amp volume/amp line volume etc. (so all the volumes) what level to have each one for the best, clear feedback free audio. Cheers, Toby

There is a video on this , i think it's titled how to use the bass mid top, what are they for, or something like that!
To DoyleCE, wow, thanks for the comment/complement, i am just trying to help.
all the best

Great videos mate. Been djing for years but i've learned some nice tricks thanks to you.
Did you ever do a video on the best way to set your volumes? You said something about that in this video and i didn't see anything. Thanks Johnathan
hi, really like your stuff, have just stumbled accross it, find it very helpful.
Excellent advice about not trying to impress your mates - learn your skills first. Your video was very helpful. Keep up the good work.
Have I missed the lesson where you give information how to set all the volumes (slider, gain, master, amp). Or is it still coming?
O yes!! at the end of the day , you don't need the sound blasting, if anything by having it too loud is not helping at all.

what kind of amp/speakers/sound sys are you using
some amps and wrong settings will cause a delay

Have you tried switching ears? Maybe your other ear is dominant.
What up DJ!!!
browse his videos in terms of popularity, and I think it's around page 8 through 13 or something.
what i have to do if am playing in a club?
Sweat Mix! :)
You can't do this with every track you mix, because the gain levels are all different on every track
thanks!! join in with the croud!!
