Been mixing in headphones for the whole year; I can have tight mixes in conditions where I cannot blow through my Yamaha's as I live in a flat and I have some p...k neighbour beneath me!

Awesome tutorial, thank you!

Fantastic, thank you

Great vid. I always mix in headphones. I couldn't imagine how sloppy I would be if I didn't.

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This is the way I have mixed for over a decade. Started this way because the club I first started DJing at did not have a booth monitor.

Thank you!

Find it much easier to bear match like this than using an external monitor

So do I need speakers so I can do that because when I cue track and set level on 12h I don't hear anything in my headphones... And yes I forgot to say that my audio comes from laptop.

which headphone you use

what's the difference between pressing the cue button on both channels and having the headphone knob set to "mixing" and having only the master cue button pressed with the headphone knob set to "master"?

Can I do the same on Xone mixer? It seem Xone doesn’t has a master CUE

Its a good idea to make sure the level of the master output is leveled with the channel levels by using the led meters as a reference and adjusting the gain for each channel to match the master output level throughout the mix. This will also make sense when using the cue/master adjustment knob.. Cheers

I found this to be super confusing because you're trying to explain mixing music WITHOUT any music - which just comes across as a long lecture where the viewer - who is a complete beginner - is forced to keep track of and juggle various instructions spanning almost 9 MINUTES on how to mix music without hearing a single track. So, it's virtually impossible to map out all the knobs and buttons, and sliders you're using and translate them into real-time feedback on how they affect the music. I know this video is 8 years old, but I hope you could incorporate this feedback to update this tutorial with more clarity and actual music. I watched it TWICE and I didn't find it clear at all.

I am also mixing on headphones, but the main problem is that club PA-system is so loud and powerful, that it is difficult to hear cued tracks in headphones. I can only hear some mid and high frequencies. But no bass at all, because of loud pumping speakers and subwoofers. So it's difficult to choose what tracks to play next and to control EQ. I don't know how can I solve this... Mixing at home is much more easier, because it's quite at home. But when you go to the club, there is so much noises, subwoofers, speakers, people talking and shouting to each other. Maybe It's because of my headphones? But they are almost "industry standard" Sennheiser HD 25-1. Almost every dj is using them.

I always thought mixing in the headphones was the default to be honest lol
