I've gone back to vinyl. Found downloading loads of music took my love for the songs away as some I wouldn't take the time to listen to them, whereas buying a couple of records a week I spend the time to appreciate them. Also djing with records is alot more fun than just pressing buttons
I started on vinyl because of this. I often find records which aren't available online or on CD, so they're literally rare (and cheap, like €2~€4). I love seeing the vinyl spin and touching it, knowing what I have by looking at the label/cover and knowing the intricacies of each record as I play them more. If you want error free mixes, then digital is the way to go, but I like the human element.
I love watching people who are able to mix on vinyl. It definitely looks better than watching someone on a laptop!
There is also more passion in the music to buy a vinyl record other than a download
Or just more money
Real vinyl, and only real vinyl for me, since 1985! Proud to have learned it the hard way.
Another great video Mate! We used to listen and study each new 12" that gets sold in the record store or early 12" records we get can get our hands on from over the Atlantic (UK, Europe) for hours or even days end. Then we test ourselves if we are able to mix 7 (artistic way and with BPMs, intros/breaks memorized) songs in or less than a minute. This was also how you get a club Dj job in the early 80's, tough and challenging, but will really push you to be vinyl savvy on the turntables. Totally agree on the variances of the BPM specially with 70's/early 80's 12" singles. Ex: Melba Moore, Mandolay by La Flavour...
Since 2007, I'm still wondering why do some people watch other DJ's on youtube when we have ellaskins.
The first club I went to was in the autumn of 1989. The dj would always start the night off with Rigor Mortis by A Split Second. It's hard to explain what djs were playing back then but it was the best stuff ever and those djs inspired me forever.
I started in the 70s there was no computers or controllers also there was no beat mixing you just had one record playing and used the headphones to cue the next song when it finished you started the other turntable and faded it in with the mixer no beat matching you picked songs with a similar beat people in those days did not worry about if beats matched it was hard work but a lot of fun I would like to hear your opinion on doing it that way ellaskins
Great video Jonathon! I like how you break it down, as well as give clear examples. I'm old school so I definitely remember the vinyl days. Appreciate your channel and all you do for the DJ community. #Salute
My first home sound system was a record player. I've only ever dj'ed with CD's and digital though but there's nothing better than seeing someone like the Dj Tutor speaking so passionately about mixing vinyl. Would love to see more of these vids and more tips about mixing old disco tunes (soul and motown too) with live drummer and other fluctuations you get with a lot of these tunes.
Thank you very mutch! Really, for someone who has passion, your lessons are indeed very helpful and i get a lot of "on point" infos and help from this. Very good!
In my 50s now so grew up collecting vinyl. During the late 80s and early 90s, I could feel the shift to CDs in the music industry so waited until the Pioneer CDJ-500 came out to start my DJ journey.
Since then I've had 'all in ones' and controllers and a few years ago added a turntable to incorporate my old vinyl and try out DVS.
I've now added a second turntable and have loved trying to mix with vinyl only. As the man says, "It is not easy" but I'm getting so much out of it.
I can't be the only one who's DJing is a bit Benjamin Button!!!
i did vinyl from 1978 to 2001 and still have turntables vinyl mixing is a different ball park you have to know your tracks a lot more than digital mixing
No sync buttons fantastic. Real mixing
Daaaaamn! Master!! Thank you for this videos!! Always up for learning new things
I'm just tipping the iceberg on a video binge of all your stuff!
I’ve just started mixing with the ddj 400 but my main goal with the controller is to mix oldschool funky and soul music, for me the most dificuld thing is to betmacht them by ear, but quantizied music i can do it without problem, i apreciate a lot your videos❤️love from Spain!
Great video and you haven't aged in 13 years I was watching you mix on twin CD players
My kind of mixing. Cheers!
You hit on something I used to do in radio, because I was very good at it, which is making custom edits of songs that the program director felt were too long for drive-time hours. So I would make custom, 3-minute or so versions of songs that were much longer, or sometimes edits of album tracks that were different from what the record labels were sending us on 7-inch singles. Eventually I got frustrated using tape and started, whenever possible and using the mixing skills I’d learned as a club deejay, mixing between two vinyl copies of the same song to make my edits in real time, or as the song plays.
I worked in nightclubs from about 1980 to about 1990, and now I have a studio setup in my home so I can refresh my analog mixing skills and try to learn how I can use the digital stuff to do something creative. I use Rekordbox DVS because I want to play new music but I like to include some old vinyl in a set, and because deejay controllers intimidate me. I need to get over that. Anyway, your videos are a BIG help. There are a lot of deejays doing what you’re doing on youtube, but I think you’re the best!
I loved the second mix
Thank you Teacher !!!
One thing often forgotten with vinyl is that you can actually see the verses, choruses and breaks in the texture of the grooves. You can keep the beats matched by simply putting your finger on the label and cranking it faster or dragging it slower even with the fader open.
With regards to harmonic mixing........the Technics strobe dots show +3.3% and -3.3%. This isn't random. 3.3% is half a semitone in music.
I find mixing with vinyl so much easier than digital.
This is great, thnx!
This Monday, October 16th but exactly 40 ! years ago I did my first DJ session and I still remember being in front of the two Technics MK II turntables which was just awesome ! It was in Dortmund, Germany the famous MEMPHIS disco club, ex DJ Marian. D
Very nice!!!
spot on!
Donation made , Thankyou for the videos sir
Thanks. Never expect anything... someone told me she’d ago I should just try..... thanks. 🙏
Hi my mate you and all your videos are really great. Real and skillful DJs mix with vinyls the others are just mix creators using the easiness of technology!!!
Very nice Dj. Thanks. Hug.
YES MAN NIGHTS OVER EGYPT
I agree totally. Times have changed so much, I use to have wright my BPMs down😂
Propa job 👌☮♥️🎶🎶
Well definitely agree who didn’t use turntable is not a cool old dj like us lol 😂 I was invited to play on party and all djs used sinc button soo sad they no needed used headphones 🤦♂️
Отличный урок! Как всегда на высоте!
I’ve been collecting and mixing up a lot of vinyl over the past year, and the BPM’s generally span a wide range. I’m curious about techniques to change the speed of a track to match the BPM of the next within the course of a 5 min (let’s say) track. How far is too far? +3 to -3?... less??
Just wished carried on buying vinyl rather than cd's back in day so am doing it now since dont like motorbikes am doing midlife crisis buying vinyl lol.
ABUSE. cheers for the videos dude.
Sync djs hate vinyl decks, no time to look at their phones or play with mixer knobs 🤣
Started off on controller didn't like it changed to a dvs set upnwith no pads at the bottom but do have the numark scratch doesn't have half the stuff as controller. But wished back in the day had carried on bying vinyl instead of cd's so having a mid life crisis going back got turntables and joining a vynil club lol
HaHa! GREAT comment! I totally agree.
During my vinyl years I guess most transitions were cuts or scratch into the new song rather than beat mixing.
Yep truth. They hate records cause they can't hind their truth when records spin
I personally think its a crime modern djs couldnt mix with vinyl,they should wear green L plates round their necks ,until they pass the vinyl test !
techno 130 bpm and rave techno 145 bpm
I have a long list of 80s grooves who sound way better than the original slowed fown even at 8%
But Murphy's Law has a swing groove so it won't work with a straight 4 on the floor groove. You need another song that has that type of swing.
A problem with off qauntizing of music was often just a poor midi clock . Had it on my own tracks years ago and heard it in others music . So a 120bpm track isnt 100% accurate all the way through with beat timings. Annoying on vinyl
You Had Me @ 80s** But this music is a "disco" groove; Not an "80's" groove. Just sayin' :)
Why aren’t you a music teacher??
Real DJ's use Technics turntables :-D
Just messing with you.
Those pioneer's are awful the digital pitch is hopeless. Stick to technics 1200s and analog pitch.
@@chrismurray3198 The new ones have a digital pitch with a speedcontroller from a blueray player.
The MK7 and the 1210GAE 55th
@@GvanDorst I have used the new mk7s and they are still not as good as the mk2s I own from 1992. The mk7s feel cheap and again the pitch is terrible compared to a MK2. Plenty of videos on here one in particular by just technics who say exactly the same thing. I had a set of reloop rp8000s and they felt well built and solid but again like the pioneer the pitch was hopeless.
@@chrismurray3198 Both the pioneer and the MK7 have way more powerful motors. I believe on the MK7 you can tweak this by making the start speed a little slower. You can do this for sure on the GAE
Ive noticed on my 1210MK2 that the abrupt stop at zero pitch only happens going from minus to the detente.
However, if I change pitch from plus to the zero detente, the platter dots slow down to “zero” super smooth, just before the slider hits the detente.
Love these videos. F you youtube with your bullshit copyright rules.
Tell that to Taylor swift
