►SCRIPT
So the first thing I noticed is Avicii’s mixing technique. Like other EDM DJs, Avicii prefers to only affect his next track’s Low EQs when mixing them in.
So he brings his next song’s Low EQ all the way to the left side before blending the next track in.
This is done so he can have more sonic space to bring up the next tracks volume when mixing.
Now, he only brings the Low EQ of his next track back up to the 12 o’clock position, when he’s ready to blend and transition to the next track, which in most cases are when he reaches the outro sections of songs.
What’s different though with his EQ style compared to Martin Garrix is that he doesn’t prefer to affect the current song’s Low EQ when mixing out, instead, he simply brings the current song’s volume down
Now, to make his transitions sound extra smoother, he also tends to use an Echo effect on the current song when mixing out.
This technique helps smoothen one’s mixing, because instead of just shutting down the previous song’s volume and being done with it
Demo
You can let the song naturally fade out with an Echo effect
Now one of the ways DJs like Avicii keep the energy of the mix up, is that they have the next song’s Build up section begin right after the current song’s Chorus ends.
This helps retain the momentum of the mix and keeps the overall flow going.
Because if you don’t mix to something right after an EDM chorus, what you’re left with is a breakdown section, which could be boring for hyped up listeners
Now if you wanna how you can apply this trick in your DJing, stick around till the end of the video.
Anyway, speaking about hyping things up, let’s move on to Accenting
So accenting is done by a DJ for 3 reasons.
1. To make a track sound more exciting and cool
2. To give the mix a more live feel
3. And to do just something, besides dance, and mix the next track in
Now one of the ways Avicii accents his tracks, is by activating an Echo effect on them right before they reach their next section
It’s a pretty simple technique to do, and it just works by activating an Echo effect, and cranking its Level/Depth knob from left to right
Sometimes Avicii alters this, by implementing a High Pass Filter Sweep on top of his Echo sweep.
And now let’s talk about where Avicii tends to mix his next song in. So like I mentioned earlier, he likes to have his next song’s Build Up section begin right a songs chorus ends.
And this is done by counting your beats, and mixing your next song in, at the right section in the current song’s Chorus section.
So as you can see in this illustration. Our next song has a 32 beat intro before its Build Up section begins, so therefore we should mix this song, at the last 32 beats of the current song’s outro section
Most EDM DJs actually mix there, because it’s the easiest place to blend and EQ tracks. You can do your smoothest transitions with an Intro section and outro section.

Hey . Can you tell me what's going on with your x of the lamps. They all show an x or a skull. What's going on here?
Will be joining up soon. I might be 45, but I also might have just bought a DDJ 800. Never to late to learn.
Hey there DJ Carlo Atendido,
Just wanted to clarify and clear the air regarding the myths that Avicii was a DJ. To inform you, Avicii was a Composer/Producer. He was not a real "DJ." He had to fake DJ'ing on stage because he was basically forced to by his manager, Arash, who was money hungry. Avicii was paid to put on a phenomenal show for the promoters and most importantly, his fans. Avicii used tracks of his own, as well as picking other tracks from other Artist's and composed all tracks into 1 full composition. Whether or not if he was in a club or festival, he would pre-record his sets for every show. Remember, Avicii wanted to entertain, not DJ.
I am going to buy a pioneer ddj 400 . Please help to control
"I don't wanna be remembered for the money I make i wanna be remembered for the life I lived"-tim Berling
Oh yes! True words! Thanks for watching!
So true. So many people miss out on life because they are too busy chasing the almighty dollar around all day and not actually living.....
@@kennethmalafy8012 I agree
Agreed
Love this quote!
Levels was the first time I was introduced to Avicii and it was through this that opened the whole EDM genre to me. he was my gateway in, but he always had his unique style with his music that other producers could never copy. The songs that I hold closest to my heart are SOS and Heaven. Brings a tear to my eye as I type this message cause the song Heaven has a very strong meaning to me and every time I hear it I relive a little bit of the magic that was Avicii. I know I'm not alone in saying we miss you.
love it! thanks for sharing that
Me too. Levels and Wake Me Up are the reasons that I wanna become a DJ/Music Producer. He inspired me so much. RIP Tim.
Rest in piece to the man who introduced me to music in general
Avicii is one of the best producers. His songs always inspire to make more better songs. And Nights is my favourite avicii song.
truly one of the greatest!
you said it right a producer, not much of a dj
“For a better day” -Avicii
Bless up!
Nice one too!
Really difficult to pick my favorite song because they are all a masterpiece. But at the moment, I really enjoy his remix of Drowning by Armin van Buuren.
Great choice! Thanks for watching my tribute and my tutorial! Cheers!
Echo Fade Outs mmmmhmm
A true musical genius! Still miss him every day
yes we all do!
my favourite song by Avivii is "seek Bromance". one of his earliest songs, truly a masterpiece.
yes bro best track!
He’s dead now because he had impure thoughts about men. If he had spent as much time reading the scriptures as he did seeking bromance on his record players he might still be not-decomposed.
Defo man
My favourite Song from Avicii is Levels. R.I.P I will never forget him.
Nice choice! And yes he is surely missed by all! Thanks for watching!
For me, Dancing In My head remix the best
@@agissatriamandala201 Actually every song has something special.
@@el_thecrafta ya, that's true
Yeah Levels is his masterpiece.. Tbh was never a big fan of him but always loved Levels.
I was thinking about How avicii Dj and his technique, I thought I will scroll in your videos but you made it now.
Thank you 🙏🏽
◢ ◤
Tim AKA Avicii was my role model, inspiration and the real music genius !! Every song was a Classic with amazing composition and its really hard to choose just one but with Don't wake me up he literally proved that he was the G.O.A.T!!!
true that! he's a philanthropist too
@@djcarlo yes sir ! He sure was once in a lifetime talent !
Thats his producers skills yes.
It's true, but this legend is a hero for life
indeed man indeed
R.I.P AVICII 🙏🏻
Really Cool Video
Thank you! He is one of the best
Great video, Carlo! Thanks a lot, man!
No worries! Glad you liked it!
I didn't get into Avicii until fairly recently. I watched his documentary before really listening to his music. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn't help but shed a tear or two. His passing should teach us all that no matter how much money we have or how famous someone is, we're only human. Everyone has their limit. He was truly an artist, a wizard, a genius. He will always be on my playlist. Thank you for your video man.
sure! he truly was.
This man was a true legend😭
You’re right! Thanks for dropping by!
I love your videos bro❣️they are so educational thanks
I always thought that most of these djs are just jumping or dancing around while playing the already recorded musics but your videos show me there are some who are really Djing. Thanks so much
I am going to be honest no one produced banger songs like avicii did
One of the best
Great video Carlo. I would love to see more of these types of videos from DJs in all genres. Thank you for doing this.
You got it!
The Nights helped me to see life even better
Avicii it’s always going to be in our heart ❤️
so live a life you will Remember
Your my inspiration now dj Carlo this videos we’re sick🔥 those on cue explanation and step by step really amazed me. Starting to play my ddj 400 and your videos help me alot thanks 🙏alot
I'm so happy that you've improved because of the tutorials! Good job yo!
I think my two favorite Avicci songs are waiting for love and levels. Levels was one of the first EDM songs I've ever heard and waiting for love is just so cool especially when you throw Martin Garrix's mashup in it. 🍀
Seek Bromance is my fav. Usually producers do their best work in the beginning then become watered down and commercial. Avicii was a hell of a great producer with basic music theory knowlage yet his ability to hear and create melodies and chords was exquisite!
Wow! True that! Thanks for sharing your insights about Avicii!
you really nailed this video, Carlo! i appreciate all of your content as i always learn something new. 💫 favorite Avicii song: addicted to you
thanks so much! That's a good song too
Thanks for another great video, homie...
My pleasure! Thanks for watching man
Thanks for posting this
Woot! Which song did you enjoy most from Avicii?
These artists like Daft Punk, Deadmau5, and Avicii really got me fully into EDM and I still can't believe that he's gone but his legacy lives on to all his fans and future producers. Thank you, Carlo, for showing us something new, and let Avicii Rest in Peace.
You're welcome! Tbh, gotta love Avicii through and through
@@djcarlo totally
He was a DJ we will never forget
he really made his mark
This content was the one I was waiting for ..Thank You DJ Carlo❤️❤️
yay!
"Wake me up" R.I.P AVICII ! 🙏
Oh yes! Definitely lit! Thanks for watching!
So detail, I really appreciate your efforts, analyzing DJ perform videos
Favourite Avicii tracks.
Levels, Rapture, Drowning Remix, Forever Yours, SOS, I Could Be The One, Bromance, True Believer, City Lights, Talk To Myself, City Lights, Lonely Together, Silhouettes, Superlove, My Feelings For You, Jailbait, Hey Brother, Fades Away, UMF anthem, Bad Reputation and All You Need Is Love!😍 These are songs I can listen to over and over, never get tired of!🥺❤️
all greats!
I appreciate the present tense used in this video. Makes it feel like he's still with us. RIP
Awww! Thanks for noticing that! RIP!
"Long Road To Hell" from "True (Bonus Edition)" is very underrated. You can't dislike the Kazoo, Whiplash and falling chord progression in the chorus
Literally yes. This is probs one of the most under rated songs ever. Do doo dudadado do do du da da do do doo
Thank you for this one Carlo and thanks for speaking of Avicii in the present in this video, not past - his music will make sure he'll always live on :)
The Nights, for sure!! Great content man!
Awesome! Thank you!
This felt a little more advanced and I really appreciated that. Avicii's technique is interesting. Can't say I've ever seen a DJ do that before with the low eq still being up during the transition.
Thanks for sharing
I've always done the volume cracked down slightly on the outgoing track, and cut the bass slightly but not always all the way. I've found it sounds a lot better in a lot of instances. Instead of echo though, ill usually creep a reverb effect up on the outgoing track before I let it go. No technique is perfect for every situation, but having an idea of technique(s) to apply and build on in given situations is always great
true! thanks for sharing that
Hi Carlo! Thanks for your rad videos! My fav Avicii song is The Nights. Peace!
Oh man, that's honestly one of his best for me! It's up there with Fade Into Darkness.
thank you very much , you have know idea how much help you are !!!!
I'm a biggest fan of Avicii, glad to watch this video so much. I'll practice djing with this video, and ofc other videos lol anyway thank you so much for everything you taught me, you always my best teacher of djing sir Carlo!!!
He usually used in my mind axwell remix for transitions. This hyped me!
I'm glad you really enjoyed this video Taro!
Totally cliche, but levels will ALWAYS be my favorite Avicii song. Whenever my depression is acting up, I put levels on and it picks me up from whatever I'm going through. ♥
Thank you avicii for inspiring DJ Carlo on his path that led to him making these incredible guides 💜✨
Favorite song? Probably „wake me up“ 😅🤷🏼♂️
Everyone loves that!
@@djcarlo tbh - it‘s not my genre 😅 so I‘m just familiar with the evergreens 😇
Amazing video. Keep it up
thanks
DJ Carlo , you the best man!
Without you - avicii brings me to tears every time
Super informative!! Thank you for this breakdown. Rest in Power
let's try that! Thanks for the support!
awsome vid😀😀😀
I love Wake Me Up. That was one of the songs that got me into dance music and DJing
Ohhh nice! It wake your DJ skills! Great to know!
🙏 Thank you for making the video! I started DJ because of Avicii! My favorites of Avicii are The Night, X You and Silhouette! R.I.P Tim, you are a true legend 😭
all good!
So I started my first paid gig only 3 weeks into getting my first dj board (ddj sr2) and i just djed friday and saturday night and the owner paid me DOUBLE what we agreed to cause he said I blew everyone away. People were asking me how long I had been djing. I answered (this is my first weekend)... all because of your vids and me practicing. I had 3 new clubs call me TODAY asking about me..... whoa!!! I live in an area of America that isnt very privy to this scene in its whole sense. I just used the basics you teach on this channel and i never had so much fun nor made so much money in such a short time. Im so excited and grateful for what you do. I dont think you really know the value you are still giving away for free. You are a badass and you allowed me to make a dream a reality in just a few weeks. Wow. Cant wait to meet you one day. I owe you bro
How do you show the key of your musics on rekordbox ? I dont have any key on any songs
Levels and waiting for love the most but i love all of his music he is my greatest inspiration ❤️
We miss you Avicii. Sorry I have not been popping in lately Carlo, I have been working on DJing and producing. Your vids are good as always, much love!
hey good for you! keep rocking!
@@djcarlo Thanks Carlo!
Man your videos are so helpful im glad i found them, question though do you think its worth getting a ddj 1000 over a ddj 400?
It really depends on what features you're looking for and need! The DDJ 400 though only has Rekordbox compatibility, but the 1000 has a variant that works with Serato.
@@djcarlo Do you prefer to use Serato or rekordbox? I have used both and i prefer rekordbox im not sure why though i think i just like the way it ran but i would like to hear your thoughts if your not busy =)
He also sets his echo effect post amp so it doesn't cut when you drop the volume.
That's actually quite interesting!
Thanks for the visit! More interesting breakdown videos soon!
Love the video - your vids r always interesting. Everytime when I'm bored I just open YT and watch some of your vids
Hey DJ Carlo Atendido
I have a small request
In the next video can you please show and explain how many DJs play 3 songs in only one stroke?
And which was the most difficult song you had ever mixed?
Using all outlets possible, I'd been using the Sonic Foundry software sweet B 4 the Sony buy out & the MixMan 2 make my music with. I recently got a DDJS Hercules DJ Control. Found 2 of my older songs here on CZcams when I went by the previous recording name of Grey Angel Conspiracy, I go by TFN74 now. I had a small stint N Radio back when Blessid Union of Souls was N Lima Ohio N the mid 90's. Appreciate the posts my friend, Best wishes 2 U!
Cool video bro, Avicci was definitely talented
I think so too! No doubt! Cheers!
hey carlo when you gonna make a vid explain how to use and setup turntables(like the PLX 500) would be really helpful
I’ll take note of this recommendation! I’ve lined this up! Stay tuned!
@@djcarlo it would be amazing if you do I wanna grab a set of PLX''s and I'm quite confused
Problem with using alphanumeric on Rekordbox is you then can’t adjust the ket manually. This is an issue since it doesn’t add a “0” to the beginning of the single digit numbers. So when sorting a playlist with the “sort by key” function it will sort top to bottom as “10-12” and after that “1-9”. If you manually sort before export to a flash drive that’s a non issue, but you see how that could be annoying.
Oh I see! Thanks for sharing this!
he was my favourite DJ and is a big inspirtation to me, alongside Acraze, Tiesto and James Hype
He was pretty dang great, wasn't he? Really tragic what happened to him
@@djcarlo yeah it is really tragic. If he was still here today, he would be killing it with even more new music and stuff. He died before I started DJing myself but even when he was around, I liked to listen to his music. Looking back, he really did change the EDM music scene during the 2010s and inspired many, myself included. Definitely one of those people who died too soon and deserved to live a good life and it's also good that he gave some of his earnings that he didn't need to charities and the communities. My favourite Avicii song is wake me up. I have quite a personal connection to that song
Thank you Bro Dj
R.I.P. Avicii man dude was a goat 🐐👑 also my fav Avicii song is either levels or wake me up
If my Current song has a key of 12B, then i can mix a track That Has a key of 12B, 11B, 1B, 12A. Right?
Hard to pick one favorite. All songs you did on the INSANE AVICII MIX is great.
awesome! glad to serve
can you do a video on the numark party mix? or maybe you already have lol
Finally Breakdown Video 😍
RIP AVICII ❤🌹
hope you liked that one!
Nice breakdown Carlo rip Avicii 😔we miss him every day
Thanks for dropping by! More breakdown videos to come! Stay tuned! And yes we miss him!
Too many to choose from but Levels, My Feelings For You & Gonna Love Ya are some of them!
All are great choices! Thanks for sharing these! And for watching!
what is the song that skrillex is playing on minute 2:29?
I can relate to Avicii's 2 best songs wake me up and the nights ❤️🙏🙏r.i.p avicii ❤️🙏🙏👍
truly one of the best!
Avicii was my inspiration to start producing and DJ-ing, 'Dear Boy'
Good for you
One thing that you should have mentioned is that sometimes Avicii did long trasitions from an outro into an intro, and it being that long is sometimes pleasing to the ear and can make the crowd go wild.
Still though, very informative and well made video as usual!
That's true! I just wanted to focus more on the technical side of things. Thanks for the advice!
*Great Tutorial !*
*R.I.P Avicii !* 😰😭💖💚❤️💜
Glad you thought so! More tutorials to come! Stay tuned!
Great video! My fav Avicii track is his remix of New New New from Bob Sinclair. If you haven't listened to it, prepare to be blown away!
awesome!
dude yes! more videos liek this!
Awesome! Which DJ do you want me to breakdown next?
2:44 How do you change jog wheel tension in rekordbox? :D
“Hope There’s Someone” hits different
well said bro
Thanks man
You are interesting, if you ask me.
You helped me a lot in djaying.
Especially Trance & Pop music 💕
glad to hear that
Long Live Avicii indeed :D Thanks for this Carlo! :D
You’re welcome! Thanks to Avicii and his music.
@@djcarlo I've been following you since your tour vlogs. I'm starting to dive into DJ'ing aside from producing music. In fact, I had an EDM phase where I play songs via Virtual DJ using only keyboard and mouse HAHAHA when I was 12. Thanks for inspiring me. I'm gonna hit the decks soon :D
Nice video! :)!
Yay! Glad you’re a member of team notification! Thanks for the visit!
My favorite song is Silhouettes, but the one in the first version, the one where Tim plays in the video.
That's a wonderful track! One of my favorites from early Avicii. I'd say it's an overlooked banger nowadays
Legend ❤️
he was indeed
Unbreakable, Promises Of Tears, Rock Me (Bad Things Bootleg), All You Need Is Love (The Riddle Version), X You (Alternate Vocal Mix), to name a few.
Oh man, those are great choices!
Avicii's Levels is the my favorite from his songs.
Even though I never meet Tim (Avicii) I miss him. RIP gone to soon!!
his music is in our soul!
The nights are the best from Avicii
Yes it is! Thanks for visiting! Stay awesome!
Nice bro
Yay! Thanks for watching!
I guess this might be interesting for those people that have never djed or have seen a dj or know nothing about djing.
Same thought here. I did that years ago when I dj'ed during my uni years.
Thanks for watching!
@@djcarlo Try doing a "How they REALLY DJed" video with djs that are actually talented and gifted in djing/mixing. Like Roger Sanchez, Richie Hawtin, James Hype or Louie Vega. Clearly the video would be for the more advanced djs.
I think my favorite Avicii track is Waiting for love but i guess Wake me up is also up there. I don´t know really because he made so many good tracks so it is a bit difficult to choose
Thanks for sharing that! Those are good ones!
What's the name of the song at 1:31
Thanks
I am only 12 years old and i am already making great mixes, Thanks For The Tips Bro.
City Lights or Dear Boy for my favorite Avicii track. Impossible to pick!
True! Too many good ones
Drowning (Avicii Remix) for me is his most underrated song. Armin produced an awesome track but Avicii took it to another level
Great! Thanks for sharing your favorites!
1great video
2 favorite Avicii song is Waiting for Love
awesome songs
What video of skrillex is that ?
