    Just these tricks will get you pretty far for most gigs from my experience, love how you broke it down in a very understandable format for folks. Great for mixing on the fly for multiple hours. Be cool to see a video on how you set up your crates and prep your tracks with cuepoints and notes. I imagine you have a lot of things in that regard which i could learn from to make my sets slightly easier to maneuvre.

      Mixing properly helps too@@frankygers but yeah, I hear ya... Nothing will make me leave a stage quicker than bad music or bad mixes 👍
      I recently saw Polo & Pan perform on the main stage at a festival a couple months back & that was probably the worst set I've seen in my life. Aside from the EuroVision SingSongy TRASH music they played, they didn't even bother mixing a single track... Everything would just stop & then the guy would have to just walk back & hit play on his iTunes (or whatever they use back in Deutschland), after every single song... It was embarrassing to watch & to listen to. #DoubleWhammy

That's great and the world would be a better place if everyone would strive for that. I also appreciate the hardware selection you use in your demonstrations.

    DJ Carlo is the man. To everyone interested or just starting out, in under a week ago, I went from watching his videos on tips and tricks to now having a controller and feeling comfortable leveling up to Acapellas Level 2 and feeling comfortable. Content is super easy to understand and funny. It may feel dreadful but just repeat each step and only each step for two days and so on. You’ll pick it up quick.
    I would love to see videos for things like mixing in key such as 5A and 10A and what works best and what doesn’t. Thanks Carlo. Please keep showing us the way.

    Hey Carlo, nice upload as this will help many beginners to practise mixing.
    Though the volume fader and low EQ blending technique is simple, but it may not complement if mid band (frequency band) are not harmonic. In that case, EQ blending/swapping is preferred. Start with low EQ blend, swap high and then blend/swap mid EQ of both tracks.
    The blend or swap depends on track section, if we are nearing a drop then we can do swap or if it is standard section (32 beats) then we can blend EQs.

    I was just asked this Sunday at church if I could possibly do a DJ set for a youth dodgeball night that we are having soon! I am definitely going to be doing some drop mixing in there and will probably get a couple of a cappella‘s to! Thanks for the tips as always! I’m so excited!! 🌟🌟🌟

    This is the step I think most DJs get wrong, how to practice. It seems simple, but without a good strat- you will waste a lot of time. I usually run through my "tricks" at least once to be sure they are good. Then I focus mostly on the new stuff I am working on. I always figure that if I can complete the "trick," I already know it and should probably work on things that I don't "know" as well. Basically the same strat I use at the gym.

    • @djcarlo

      That is true! I don't usually say it in my videos because it's such a core principle, but it's the first thing anyone should learn with DJing!

    Have you ever seen subtronics or squnto dj? Would be interesting for you do look at dubstep/riddim dj’s mix music, since it isn’t just blending song together. Dropping doubles and chopping makes for crazy combos and ways to mix music.

    So this is a really good guide for DJs that step away (for whatever reason), to get us back to it again. Ty...BUT! lolz. You don't have to speed up the video. I get it, your trying to save the watcher time, but just let it play out. Here's why, It could let the watcher mix with you during the video. Also, it would make for a cool video imo. You pick a songs, and the watcher picks two songs to mix with yours. I'm NOT trying to be a smart-ass.

    • @djcarlo
      @djcarlo  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the feedback! You hit the nail on the head with saving time, as not everyone will be able to mix WITH the video (especially if you're watching on the same laptop that you're mixing with). But I do appreciate this; I might make something out of this in a future tutorial video!
