START YOUR DJ SET WITH A BANG AND GET NOTICED BY CLUB MANAGERS http/::www.djtutor.com For 1-2-1 skype lessons by Ellaskins, e mail Practisenjoy@djtutor.com for more info
Hitting sync is fine but you wont get much further than your local club. Using the sync button means your putting in limations into your mix. It would mean you would shy a way from trying to mix and match BPM's and keeping to the same bpm isnt very creative
There’s no shame in hitting the sync.. I’ve mixed for 20 years & although beatmatching becomes second nature.. not having to worry so much allows you to be so much more creative within the mixes When I first started I used to think once you’ve mastered beat matching you’d never have to worry again. How very wrong lol
Your videos are great and very informative, however, I need to make a big suggestion to you. I think it would be a lot more beneficial for people if the first thing they saw was you actually performing whatever task you're making a tutorial about, and then follow that by explaining it more properly. I think people will watch your videos a lot more if you did it that way.
you are actually right ☺ i think people watch the videos if they get a demonstration of what he want to teach. and it will be easier to understand what he is talking about☺
Although I do enjoy seeing your working/work flow... Like the bits you show where you maybe don't get it quite right... But you explane why and then do it right, you get to see your thinking, which is also really cool to see... Hope you never loose this kind of aspect to your content.
The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a technique. He said he didn't plan it that much and didn't practice it. Things like those need to be practiced for every song. I'm glad, that you do NOT own a night club, because he can mix with eyes closed, both arms torn off and standing on one leg, all while cooking dinner as Chef petit poir! I don't get all this hate. If you don't want to watch a >>demonstration
I'm sure thats why he's is where he is in life and you are not .... or that he's flying all over the world for major DJ conferences and your not ... you couldn't afford him to play in your club that FYI you don't own anyway ...LMAO sit down and shut your pie hole
I like how he doesn't edit the video like some other deejays and 99% of tutorials about anything on youtube. These videos are authentic.. and you showed how to get a song back on beat and improvise if this was a real gig. Now i will say for real gigs I love to freestyle being a hiphop deejay and some tracks i may not have ever played or mixed together before. That's my style, an authentic natural deejay and scratching. But for certain things like acapellas and instrumentals i'd practice so i know what goes with what, and match the bpm correctly.
The sync button is such a trivial part of mixing and DJs still make a big deal of it. It takes up about 0.1% of the DJing process and yet staying away from it is advice that's constantly rammed down the throats of many bedroom jocks. All the sync button does is adjust the track's BPM to match the master clock's BPM. That's it. You can achieve the same result by using the tempo fader, but this takes extra time and, more importantly, depending on your tempo sensitivity settings you might not be able to land the exact decimal point meaning you're forced to settle with an inaccurate BPM. By hitting sync, there's no need to reach for the tempo fader, and the exact BPM is landed every time in under a second. Going about it the long way requires no extra skill, it's just an annoyance and contributes nothing. If, with sync, your mix sounds too mechanical, just turn your jog wheel 1mm or 2mm to throw the tracks slightly out of phase - this imperfection will give a more natural flow to the mix and will minimise any cancellation effects that often occur. I forgot to mention that with sync on, you can also change the BPM of two (or more) tracks simultaneously - try doing that with two tempo faders :)
Mateus Waquim doesn’t matter if u use sync or not im a dj and all I have to say is most of the people outder doesn’t give a rats if u use sync or not all they want is just a nice drop so they can vibe to it 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Agreed but knowing how to manually I think is still a necessity as back up. If your mixing older tracks especially you still have to maintain that sync partially manually. But yes having the sync definitely allows you to be more creative within a mix
Why not beat match? I'm not a dj but surely the whole point of mixing tracks together is so they match the bpm. It cannot be good to be off slightly, people will detect that. I don't think a club manager gives two shits about a sync button, all they care about is getting people through the door. Play a blinding set with variety in the mix to keep up the interest. Repeating 'satisfaction' one hundred times will bore people.
i hope people understand that the "horrible mixing" that some people point out here is what a dj hears all the time mixing. in the headphones. so its not horrible, its just the mix process
yes in the headphones, not for the crowd. the crowd isn't coming to the club and spending their money at that place to hear a DJ try this shit to impress a manager and fail miserably.
I sometimes cringe at these lessons but then I remember, I'm not making no video tutorials for other people to criticize so its better not to be a CZcams wanker and show respect ... well done bud!!!
Hi I’m harry I started djing a year ago and think that the sync button is great,my dad says my mixes are great I can’t thank pioneer enough for creating such a function
What's wrong with the sync button? I mean, I used to DJ on two or somtimes even three 1210s back then so I didn't have that opportunity. But since it's available now and so many more fancy things, why no use it? All that matters is the resulting sound! And without the need to beatmatch manually, there's more time for other enriching effects.
gewinnste that's y they are their gives u more time to manipulate the playing track. Yrs ago u spend all that time manually pitching my 1210s for ages getting it perfect All a club wants is people thro the door
yea i love doing things like this. whilst i haven't specifically tried THIS, i have literally had a gameboy music going into one channel as i play tetris during the set haha :)
This guy is a true legend and I respect his work, but this mix wasn't that good. As a club-goer or manager I wouldn't be impressed by this. I would rather prefer a simpler, but cleaner mix.
i try and start with something. funny or out of its usual context or something dramatic or an unusual scratch though thats a bit tricky coz thats not my. best skill anything that will be a bit. different for a pair of jaded ears
greeetings brother thank your for the video its really helpfull , ima have to ask you and need your opinion on whats the best dj setup you prefer buying for a beginner playing in clubs ?? thank you !
Jonathan question ? How much do club jocks earn in this day n age.?. In the 80s and 90s we probably averaged £100+ night for residence at major clubs.. Today ? Havent a clue, but be interested to see how it equals out..
Hey Johnathan. Is there a possibility you could make a new tutorial on how to mix trance music? I've seen the few videos you did about trance many years ago, but I was wondering if you have some tips & tricks on how to mix trance with a BPM from about 130. I also feel kinda bad having to let one track almost play entirely before bringing the next one in. Cheers!
You see I think trance is one of those genres that should let the songs play out Not quick mixing like electro house Trance music is usually 6,7,8 or even 10 + minutes long and the structure of the songs are designed to be played. Although with trance the transitions between songs can be 2 minutes + in length so beat mixing has to be good and also work the eqs. It's not about playing 40 tracks an hour
+elvewizzy Thats what I've been trying to do lately. Using some clever cue-points to skip a decent part of the track, without losing the essence of it. Mixing on breakdowns seems possible aswell, if they're in key atleast.
+Ironlion NLinCS I think you're exactly right about that. Although I try to keep it under 5 minutes per track, without transitions counted. Most of the times it feels right to just mix the first and last 32 bars of a track, but I'm afraid that gets boring easily and people might lose interest.
+Mitch “Mitch3r” VH depends on the tracks. each track will tell you musically where to mix it to the next one. plus it's about being creative and trying out different points with different tracks. play the track in your head.
Ellaskins - Have you ever used any Allen & Heath high end mixers? e.g Xone 92 or DB series. Would like to know why you choose the Pioneer mixers over the A&H unless they sponsor you. Thanks
+DlllonJ imo the a&h mixers have a warmer sound, they sound great if you're mixing with vinyl. but for serato or cdjs the warmness doesn't really translate so in that situation the pioneer stuff is better just because of the range of effects and cool gizmos. just my opinion though :)
how come you are battling so much with the tempo on the right ,does it not say the bpm on the screen,should just be little nudges on the jogwheel surely?
whats so wrong about sync? i can beatmatch quite easily, but i still like to use sync, because i can use the time to work on better transitions and effects.
hey, i would like to know why the sync button its not recommended? im a beginner and found it quite good and easy to use, but maybe its not the best thing to do, thanks and sorry for bad english
joaquin lozano It's more a "honour" thing, because with vinyls and turntables beatmatching was very hard and now old style DJ's are still convinced that you need to manually beatmatch in order to be a good DJ, I don't use sync button only because it's funnier to beatmatch but when I use equipment that I'm not used to I sync everything (because it's better to hit the button than to make the tracks sound bad)
i mess around a lot wit the roll function but with individual channels i never new u can throw it on a different channel other than the ones ur using. wow fascinating
No respectable dj should want to hit that sync button. And it's not about BPM lining up so much as it is the flow and how the tracks fit imo. I disagree that you need to start with a banger. It depends on when you are playing in the night but if you are not the headliner and especially if you are an opener, you may not want to start with an absolute banger. You want to be able to lead into the set and shape it into something, imo. You definitely don't want to bang it out hard before the headliner. You want to keep being brought back, not overshadow by trying to be HEARD as opposed to listened to, know what I mean? I like djs who start with something that would be an ID as opposed to something instantly recognizable, although I suppose it depends on the night and my mood (If it's a throwback night where people are playing classic cuts on vinyl then I understand starting with a banger).
Mightydubkat I wish there were more people out there like yourself mate. Nowadays there isn't enough unknown music being played. Clubs in Asia are filled with arrogant EDM DJs and even when I manage to find something different, it's always deep or tech house and I recognise half of the tunes anyway. Nowhere seems to play downtempo and build up to a faster beat like Nick Warren or whoever.
Agree 100%, I've been DJing for coming on 30 years now, and while the night and crowd your playing to dictate what your playing, at the same time you should of been booked for the music and style you play. I see every set as a journey, adventure if you like, with many stops along the way, I don't want to be at the final destination 10 minutes into a set. I found over the years of both playing out and booking DJ's for my own nights that a really top quality warm up DJ is both hard to find and also very much under appreciated, they set the tone, mood and atmosphere for the rest of the night ahead. I get the point that the video was trying to get across, that it's hard to sell yourself to a promoter in the first 10-15 mins of a mix that's if they even listen that far. I just think he tried to do too much to soon and had the opposite desired effect, a well selected opener with maybe an acapella dropped over the top would of been better than that, and to compare DMC turntablists to the style he was attempting and track selection is, well, apples & oranges.
Just a side note, before trying to "demonstrate" I might actually perfect the skill you are trying to share with others before you record a video about how to do so on the internet. Cheers.
Damn! I missed the video as I was too busy shitting on my turntables....no, I'm not a DMC battle turntablist, I just find it therapeutic...great video, cheers mate!
7:29 🥴😵😵💫 ..mayday mayday... abort mission ..LOL. by the way i am NOT A CLUB Manager and YOU got my Attention . Great Respect i have for your content always. Thank you for posting the Real Deal, it does happen once in a while.
Hi Ellaskins! Love the videos! Could you do a video going over how to transition from like a 128ish bpm house track to a 174ish bpm drum and bass track? Thank you!
+elvewizzy < What this guy said. Additionally, make sure the tracks are in a compatible key and the turntables are at the same pitch. Depending on the track playing you might be able loop part of the breakdown as long as there is no drum beat, to help with the transition. I think Ellaskins has already done several videos on this topic.
+Air AQW You could drop the trap track down to 64 BPM, which would mix with 128.. It's called mixing in half-time (128 divided by 2 = 64). Also, you can try mixing on the breakdown.. once the playing song hits the breakdown on the 1 count, play the next track's breakdown as well .. fading one song out and the other song in. Hard to explain in words, but give it a shot!
If I had a club, and you played like that, you would be kicked of stage in 10 minutes... Why did you tab the tempo on the DJM900? Use your rekordbox quantize, and the tempo info from the RJ45 cable in the mixer from the player.
+Tom Robinson Hey, its a way of tapping the bpm yourself instead of using the auto, can just make it a little more accurate, or if you wanted the effect at half time. Have a play
now then! he talked it up so well. then took a shit in my ear drums
true :)
Yeah, overuse of simplistic FX and the mixing isn't very good.
bruh... how many died in this trainwreck?
Hitting sync will not make managers not book you lol they just want good music played how you do it doesn't matter
Hitting sync is fine but you wont get much further than your local club. Using the sync button means your putting in limations into your mix. It would mean you would shy a way from trying to mix and match BPM's and keeping to the same bpm isnt very creative

Hope you never loose this kind of aspect to your content.
Dan R I don't think he should lose that either, I'm just saying that he should show the technique off first, and then explain it in more detail.
This is the funniest shit I've seen in my life
I don't think the club manager would get any satisfaction from that train wreck of an introduction!
Wow ! He will notice you alright ! 😂😂
Why didnt you delete the video yet?
this would clear most dance floors... this isn't impressing anyone
if i owned a night club, this is exactly the kind of DJ i wouldn't be hiring
Why
He can't mix! It sounds horrible.

Youd certainly make an impression................
i love this dudes tutorials but his music selection is not my favorite.
I'm pretty sure he uses royalty free stuff
+James Zanghi yeah I'm pretty sure he's using royalty free tunes for copyright reasons.
Mate the way you carry yourself and your music was awesome, great trick and it gets it going really well right from the start, thumbs up to you

thank you ella! nice tutorial as always!

And very natural explanation i like it important be natural on the cabin
Are you not supposed to use the sync button then?
This guy is a true legend and I respect his work, but this mix wasn't that good. As a club-goer or manager I wouldn't be impressed by this. I would rather prefer a simpler, but cleaner mix.

Cool to see you still making video's!
i try and start with something. funny or out of its usual context or something dramatic or an unusual scratch though thats a bit tricky coz thats not my. best skill anything that will be a bit. different for a pair of jaded ears
i agree with you on getting a good selection of tracks , the crowd don’t really care about the sync button so does the manger ,
Well hello there! I am some random non-existent total trustworthy manager! And i gotta say, that was awesome.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while...could have saved me a third deck lol dammit
How come sound was coming out when the master faders were down, pretty new to this
what kind of equipment you have they look like pioneer cdj 2000 but I'm interested in your mixer what kind is it if u dont mind

How much do club jocks earn in this day n age.?.
In the 80s and 90s we probably averaged £100+ night for residence at major clubs..

He’s no roger Sanchez with multiple track mixing 😂🤣🤣
amazing tutorials and lots of fun to watch. I would like to see more numark nv video's :D

Hi bro been watching your videos before i started dj in, bro if you don't mind explain how you are can be able to play two music on one cdj thanks..

What’s the name of the first 2 song capela or sum
Club managers would not give two fucks. 100% guaranteed.
10:12 "Haven't really planned this!" No shit Sherlock!!! 🙂
Back to my nv4 I guess,the wave forms should be in your ears and in sync
It would be helpful for you to use the soundcard on your CDJ to record the output and then overlay to the video

I like this man been watching years
stop over thinking it, and just play the music , sync it ,beat match it , vinyl , mp3 just play the music.
Can you Dj because ive not seen one video of you mixing .
i awllays watned to have mix tables since i was child i guess now they not that epensive but very very nice hoby dance music beats

Hi Ellaskins! Love the videos! Could you do a video going over how to transition from like a 128ish bpm house track to a 174ish bpm drum and bass track? Thank you!
+elvewizzy < What this guy said. Additionally, make sure the tracks are in a compatible key and the turntables are at the same pitch. Depending on the track playing you might be able loop part of the breakdown as long as there is no drum beat, to help with the transition. I think Ellaskins has already done several videos on this topic.
I'm sorry. No.
Love this guy.
Is this guy for real. ???
WHY ARE ALL OF YOUR VIDEO TITLES IN ALL CAPS I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING SCREAMED AT IT'S MAKING ME SAD D;
Hey elleskins could you teach me how to transit trap (75) and house (128) music constantainously?
+Air AQW You could drop the trap track down to 64 BPM, which would mix with 128.. It's called mixing in half-time (128 divided by 2 = 64). Also, you can try mixing on the breakdown.. once the playing song hits the breakdown on the 1 count, play the next track's breakdown as well .. fading one song out and the other song in. Hard to explain in words, but give it a shot!
Where do you get all your tracks from?
try proper djing doing it with vinyl pal! accappellas and scratching are good starters I agree! bit that sounded a mess!
If I had a club, and you played like that, you would be kicked of stage in 10 minutes... Why did you tab the tempo on the DJM900? Use your rekordbox quantize, and the tempo info from the RJ45 cable in the mixer from the player.
any idea what the tap button does on the mixer? seen people use it at venues but never known what it is
+Tom Robinson Hey, its a way of tapping the bpm yourself instead of using the auto, can just make it a little more accurate, or if you wanted the effect at half time. Have a play
incredible
7.30 sounds a bit messed up to me.. actually the whole mix sounded awful don't give up your day job...
Hell yeah man that shit bangs!!
