I want to do something like that too. I’m going to be mixing jazz fusion, rhythmic New Age music, midtempo prog rock, boom bap, Downtempo, smooth jazz, hip hop soul, & gospel along with some soft rock, disco, light pop, new jack swing, funk, boogie, house, and polka.
also i find just hitting a 4 or 8 beat loop at the start of a none dj track helps you able to mix songs that are not dj friendly edits way easy ...if you are having trouble
Amazing video Dj Carlo! I'm totally agree with you. When you are mixing with different genres people like more and you are saying that you are a full dj. Cause you have the knowledgement of all the music and you know which is the best option to turn to a different genre. Thank you very much for all your videos, to me it's so funny and interesting to watch it! 🔥🔥🔥
Great video! One problem with mixing rock music is it has a drummer playing which means the rhythm of the beats float around which makes it tricky (no pun intended) to mix! Keep up the great work.
oh man dj'ing for a mixed crowd is always the most pain in the ass luckily most times it's worked out for me, but i always feel bad when it doesn't. i like to make the crowd enjoy the event
Here is what I been wanting to know.How exactly do you blend slow rock, pop older music.Stuff I see called like romantica mix etc.It's where a slow song loop plays.At which many songs are over that one loop.Like say for example a Phil Collins loop and that plays low in the back.You can hear it, but a song goes over it.Or take a slow reggae loop over older pop love songs etc.
Thank you MASTER once again...and this kind of MIXING is actually not frequently used especially by the new ERA of djing except for those who are truly a DJ MASTERS, or except for those who have dive deep into mixing DJ..like you xD.. I think this kind of mixing will really help a lot especially if you have to use old song in your mix and also yep new songs as well..but mann this kind of mixing level is insane really really insane...not easy but yet ultimately rewarding in the end..thank you for sharing the real meaning of mixing song to us Master..really really awesome..of you..
After playing a few years doing primarily hip-hop and EDM themed nights, I reluctantly accepted a gig playing at a Rock club. I needed the steady work and figured it would hold me over until I could get back in my comfort zone. Though creatively mixing dance and hip-hop in with the rock jams, I transformed the venue into an open format staple of the nightlife in that city. It challenged my abilities and ended up being my longest held residency to date and became one of the most rewarding experiences of my DJ career. Now almost every gig I play is influenced by the skills I picked up.
You execution is superb! I have a wedding coming up soon and I wanted to just touch up on some open format mixing techniques. Your video happened to be in my recommendations and I clicked it instantly! Thank you for the inspiration!
It also depends on the types of events you do, like me for example, because I'm just starting out I do a lot of smaller raves, events, and I might even be doing a small convention here in Toronto in March, so I tend to play a lot of UK/Happy Hardcore and Drum N' Bass, so a lot of my mixes tend to be one genre.
Intresting stuff,I allready use these tricks and others ,technically I don’t think I a particularly great djay but tune selection and a constant going up the BPM changing the styles /genres as I go loads of fun
Ima step out the box and go ahead and mix genres...i came up with a nice mix of different genres but It was so different I was scared to post it ...that's never been my style but now I'm motivated lol
Can you please make a tutorial about Sound quality? Bitrate etc. and where you get your music from? Are TH-cam Rips alright for playing it out etc.? Would be curious about your opinion!!
I just start as a beginner DJ few months ago and I really struggling on how the FX and EQ works on the tracks. I learn a lot from your video especially this one :D I am going to use this in my next performance next month
Hey Carlo! Great video. Got a 16th birthday party far down the line this year, and its my biggest event yet with 150+ people attending. I've only been out 3 times and they were for other smaller birthdays. Lots of edm genres, and probably the odd top 40 tracks. Still a beginner morealess a year and a bit later. Not sure how long set will be yet as its quite a ways away. any advice?
Those tips were godlike! Looking forward for a video in the future with in-depth tips for using the eq knobs in regular and open format mixing! Again, Congrats DJ :)
I was hoping you'd do a video on open-format mixing some day! I'm from the UK, so even though I mainly play (and LOVE) house, I want to mix UK garage/bassline/grime (130-140bpm) as well as commercial and rock, so this video is super useful! Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge!
Carlo what a great tutorial on this form of mixing! You explained it in such a simple and precise style. Thank you and looking forward to your next video. 👊🏼
And Now thats what i call a great weekend to start practcing that session simple nd alot of infos Dj Carlo we need a video more long how you organise and prepair a 3style music please :)
This vídeo os awsome man o agree with you. Carlo could you do any vídeo about Progressive Psytrance? I got stucked cause most Progressive trance has its own history and If i transition them within few minutes i wont ever get the good feelings of the track. How do i fix this?
Excuse me sir.....maybe also mix n some trap hip hop to gangster rap to some mumble rap to a transition into an instructional video where your teaching how to wrap an actual live gangster into a mousetrap...... or your special take on accommodation similar to that sir... Come on DJ Carlo you can do it bro.
I'm a fan of the videos in general, but (for this video) if they are all DJ edits in the same key and same bpm range, then its the same basic beat matching you would do with two house tracks. The "genres" at that point are irrelevant. Try Samba to metal w/o a DJ edit in a different key. I recommend mixing on elements with a mix of transition styles. This method allows you to connect the dots across all kinds of genres without training wheels. I recommend another video where you utilize the other tools (drop, face, scratch, FX) to transition between styles.
Nice one Carlos...great video! Please make more videos on transitions for open format mixing, they are awesome. Also could you let us know what software your using to annotate your steps?
Yes, and yes it does. If I'm not really connecting with the song or genre, I wont find any happiness playing it either. But at times, I don't have a choice haha
what about mixing different genres with drastically different bpms? i play a lot of sweet sixteens and get a lot of varying requests that the guests want to hear right away
i love your tutorials man, kudos! is it right to play a 1A and 5A keys together? please make a tutorial about the Camelot Keys combination when mixing, thank you in advace.
@@djcarlo haha yeah. Cool that you made a video about mixing multiple genres together as I suggested on one of your edm + hiphop videos. Sounds pretty sweet imo. I mean, I myself don't have any setup, but seeing friends play, trying it out a bit and watching your videos gives a huge inspiration, thinking of soon buying my own personal ddj setup, something cheap at first though
Just curious, I have been watching your vids and applying what I have learnt to my mixes as I learn, question is, what do you have the echo fx setting set to? Do you have it as 1/2 beat or 1 beat or 2 beat? Thanks!

Ableton. Warp your tracks to the closest whole BPM.
Another amazing tutorial video....you rock my friend....certainly the best videos about DJ in TH-cam are yours!
Great job. I always pick up a few tips and tricks, bur for some reason, these transitions really hit home. Thank you so very much!
That's awesome man! Hope you try these tricks out and be an awesome dj!
oh man dj'ing for a mixed crowd is always the most pain in the ass
luckily most times it's worked out for me, but i always feel bad when it doesn't. i like to make the crowd enjoy the event
Damnnnnn Carlos.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial buddy! This came out a while back
Great video. I can never get enough of your ending of the videos. So motivating.

Literally DJ AM was doing this over a decade ago.... RIP to one of the GOATs 🐐
Man that run dmc/gnr transition was kool!
This really makes so much sense and it's what I'm working on at the moment, just making sure I do it right....Thank You again Carlo!!!
That's how you do it Benny! Give everyone a good time with the music!
You seem like a really chill real down to earth guy. Love the tuts, deff helpin out a bunch, great advice and guidance. Thanks for sharing gnosis.

No you didn't mate, you're probably still using virtualDJ in your bedroom
You execution is superb! I have a wedding coming up soon and I wanted to just touch up on some open format mixing techniques. Your video happened to be in my recommendations and I clicked it instantly! Thank you for the inspiration!
Carlo, ANG GALING MO TALAGA! LODI! Walang katapat!
Back in the day, it was all open format mixing. You had to go from rock to freestyle to R&B, to electro funk to Hi NRG to whatever. It was always fun.
Thanks djcarloatendido for always giving us relevant stuff to download. We don't take it for granted. Thanks alot . Informative and practical stuff.
It also depends on the types of events you do, like me for example, because I'm just starting out I do a lot of smaller raves, events, and I might even be doing a small convention here in Toronto in March, so I tend to play a lot of UK/Happy Hardcore and Drum N' Bass, so a lot of my mixes tend to be one genre.
What a humble dude, much rescpect DJ Carlo!!
Intresting stuff,I allready use these tricks and others ,technically I don’t think I a particularly great djay but tune selection and a constant going up the BPM changing the styles /genres as I go loads of fun
Just knowing how to please a crowd goes a long way nowadays!
Ima step out the box and go ahead and mix genres...i came up with a nice mix of different genres but It was so different I was scared to post it ...that's never been my style but now I'm motivated lol
This technique is wonderful and impressive. Thanks for sharing knowledge !!!!!
This is definitely necessary for nowadays club mixing. Thanks again!
excellent video: Perfect video, good clear voice, PERFECT EVERYTHING
Great video Carlo. Love all the graphic text elements you use on this.. very slick!
Sweet (child of mine) mixing- great tips, how about some mix tips for Christmas music- like nobody gets Christmas party gigs?
just SEEING you mix like 4 songs in a row impresses me
😊 Thanks for your kind words!

Great video. Gotta try the open format. Looks and sounds interesting.
Can you do a video on mixing R&B, Disco, Funk, Hip Hop, New Jack Swing and House
110 bpm will do it all for you. what’s so difficult here?
Excuse me sir.....maybe also mix n some trap hip hop to gangster rap to some mumble rap to a transition into an instructional video where your teaching how to wrap an actual live gangster into a mousetrap...... or your special take on accommodation similar to that sir... Come on DJ Carlo you can do it bro.
Great mixing transitions - EQ Bass Mixing, Echo Out Mixing, Drop Mixing, Classic Baby scratch mixing And Blends
Great video Carlo! A question, in your experience, is possibly perform open format with the X1 controller and traktor?

Nice one Carlos...great video! Please make more videos on transitions for open format mixing, they are awesome. Also could you let us know what software your using to annotate your steps?
Also question, do u end up djing stuff you don’t like ? Does not emotionally liking the song affect your mixing ?
Yes, and yes it does. If I'm not really connecting with the song or genre, I wont find any happiness playing it either. But at times, I don't have a choice haha
@@djcarlo thank you for your response 💯🔥
What EQ knobs are you turning ? Like the lows, mids, high? Sorry if you have a video tutorial about what knobs to use I tried looking :/
thanks!!
There was a text cue mentioning that he turned down the bass and also used an echo effect
Dominic Hudson oh... my phone too small to see that 😂
@@keepitlit9274 all good 😂👍👍
I want to be able to mix the stuff I love like metal, melodic metal, pirate rock, nerd core and trolly edm for my parties
