    I personally have no experience on DJing, nor do i intend to ever DJ. What these videos do for me, is allow me to appreciate the artistry behind the decks more, and understand why some of my favourite DJs sound so much better than others. Thanks a ton for this very basic look!

      Thats rigth is an art, if you want to learn Check this vidéo but before to do this i will recomend to you to hear your tracks one by one and Check thé Time, speed and beat of the track i Don’t think this is a tutorial for bergginers, and enjoy it this is the secret

I dont think she doesn't produce her stuff. I think she has help with it, cuz her stories r mostly on djing controllers n such. So it would make sense. Though I'd like to hear alex say that tho good observation tho

    Ol time dj, prolly b4 you were born. I started right after I witness Steve Dahl destroying disco records the night I was working at the stadium 🏟 😐. Did Chicago radio, clubs, yaht parties, military, etc... stop after my litt'l brother won the DMC. Now, I'm training my 15 yr old son. These tutorials are excellent starts. Back in my day we had very few girl DJs. Now, I see many excellent females tearing up the scene. Keep up the gr8 work. Appreciate you.

    LOVE thank you! I just got to this stage after 6 months of trying way too hard to make long mix sets. Just back and forth is SO much fun and you really feel the tracks so much more, what's possible, how to mix in and out as you said - vocals, strings, whatever's there becomes your toolkit. I also love Garth. More Garth please.

    She gets it - we are more than willing to pay for our entertainment from professional entertainers, we just don’t need to be made to feel like we’re “less than” those who entertain.

    This is great tutorial, I would suggest learning to beat match by ear. There are times where the BPM on the Mp3 is wrong, or the display doesn't work. You should always know how to beat match by ear in case these things happen.

  • @toddluns1

    Back when I first started learning to mix on 1200s I bought 6 records, and I bought doubles. Then I practiced my timing and learning how to control pitch and my pressure on the plate so that I could get the two to play in sync. It was murder to my ears at first but it really helped me grasp some basics on beat matching. The new CDJs and things make this a lil easier with the digital beat counters, but I still prefer the 1200s with a basic mixer. I think playing two exact tracks makes this a lot easier. I am no pro, but back in the day the ragers I threw I kept the party jumping till 6am with only a few train wrecks after way too much MDMA. Good times!!

    If ppl were dissing the knob twiddling in your Mixmag set, then their brains would melt watching a Daedelus set. The track selection for that LA set was a refreshing and eclectic bag:- Bill Withers and Massive Attack had my spine tingling.
