Decent tutorial. For those hating, I think this would work really well for an open format type DJ spinning a wedding or something where you have to cater to a lot of different people and you're bouncing around different genres constantly.

im a young dj but ive been learning drums for 8 years so wjen u sped it up i could def it was going to fast.... great video keep it up! these really help and are inspiring and keep me djing to learn new things:)

Excellent view and prospective my man, as an old Dj (in my jouth) this is the best way to do it . You are the man!!!

Great explanation - loving this video nine years after it was made. :) If you cater to clients who want soul / funk / disco sets and not the tidy 120BPMish tempo of house you need to get good at this. No matter your set-up you can't really get away without an ear for music when playing old school.

Oh thank you! Definitely not MY time wasted! I was helpless how to mix tracks with e.g. 90 and 125 bpm, my controller allows me like max. 15 bpm manual difference or so, and I don't want to use sync button neither. I have aside of those two options for matching the tempo also some other manual option called "TAP" button - you tap more than 4times and you manually give a new tempo to the song, I still haven't had investigate how this works in a practical way for me (speaking about Numark Platinum, so if you would have any hint how to use it, please let me know:).This is simple (I have no idea how to do it - I just know you can skip right to the another track with totally different bpm but didn't know exactly how) , easy to understand and just genius! Don't listen to haters, I appreciate your tutorials!

All of it was just Perfect! Thank you !

Nice one appreciated, just what I was looking for.

I find this the best way and sometimes the only way to mix disco (aka live recordings).You could try mixing for more than 2 bars but no one these days wants to hear a track's pitch fluctuate like that. Thanks Jon.

Great explanation! That was precisely my question. And you are absolutely right about the audience being able to hear the track going too fast or slow. You could just tell, even if you have not heard the tune before. :)

I love this guy, he's so full of humor :-)

Awesome vid as usual. Thanks!

Glad to see a tutorial it's been a while. Hope a new camera is on your christmas list lol, Thanks

that was smooth as hell

i am going to like all of your videos..i am a dj to and your advices just make play beter every time...

Thx for that. Very informative!!

Thanks alot for the tips, great videos btw!

Very simple transition I like it! I think it helps that you picked very similar songs

Love your vids dude, quick question, do you ever play live ( Ableton) sets using synths ect? Or just cdjs / vinyls? Thanks.

You're the best man!!!! :)

I love your videos!

Cool

Well done

well i didn't expect that good tutorial mate.

great tutorial!!

2 great old skool tracks :)

Ur style n method is simple n effective sir

Can you do a video on some tricks you can do with JUST the EQing? I run into problems sometimes where I've practiced a mix on a mixer with certain effects and even sometimes plan to edit songs with certain effects that I then need to rethink because the mixer I end up performing on doesnt have the effects I need. Love your videos!

Good mix!

Never compare this man with any other again. Never.

wow! this really helped :D

this helped me. thankyou. wuv you

Best tutorials on youtube

Nice hat :)

young disciples actually- but good tutorial demonstrating spirit in music and not just technical process

now you press Sync, my grandma is now a DJ with that button!

I have that setup.love it

I don't know but this was perfect man ?

Funny cap =) Nice Video Great..

i have a question, do i need equipment to start djing or i can do it just with the software? give me some advice please

Nice to song

It depends on the software. For example if you have serato itch or seraro dj you will need a controller or system. But if you have Algoriddim's Djay you can mix and start djing strait from your computer. Hope that helps

Guys i'm kind of a beginner in this whole world of mixing / producing music, I personally enjoy and I prefer to mix basically EDM, House, Electro etc. Do you recommend me an all -in-one digital mixer with two decks, or to build progressively my set with a good mixer, and 2 (or more) turntables ? I'd appreciate an answer.

helpfull tnx :D

We got a badass over here lol ^

If you're looking for someone preoffesional to mix your songs but in a really god price try Raz Klinghoffer

good

Can you please give me a demo on going from say 128bpm to 118 in house thanks Dj s1

RESPECT...!!

that´s why he is making this toturiil, just to mix whitout BMP Synchronisation! to keep the song clean and to save the musicality of the songs ;)

Hey Jonathan, Can you get your hands on the Technics Cdj and make a Demo about it? hopefully gonna buy the one from whybuynew (thanks for showing the side they are awesome) but there is no good video around, explaining what that piece of gold really can do and how. Thanks - Joel

its alot easyer and alot more fun with the equiptment.

What setup do you have?

Ok, so I think this is basically what I have been doing. If I am not mistaken, you simply don't change the tempo of either song, but rather have the change in tempo due to changing the song come in on the end of a bar. Anyone please help explain a bit more if I am wrong. :)

Do you mind doing a random mix of different genres from different times?. I struggle blending and resort to finding tracks with similar bpm. Thank you.

can you do a tutorial and how to mix old school track with electro? I like both and found it hard to mix them

I am a little confused. At 5:30 you said you were going to wait those 2 bars until the vocals came in, and then switch the crossfader over, but when you mixed it near the end I didn't hear those 2 bars I just heard the vocals immediately. Maybe I am not hearing something, or did you mean that you already were at the point you were going to mix (past those 2 bars in the intro) and just crossfaded? I get the point I just got lost

Drops 😌 and you must know the music too , in order to select those cue points

yeaah bro and i talked to famedxb manager !! hes gonna help me out when i come to dubai i have him in my bbm friend list ;)

more or less than plus or minus 3 is really going to make the pitch kinda wonky innit?but with master tempo, it's easy..i do minus 33% with Virtual DJ ..on the regular.. I.e. if i'm on 90 bpm, i slow that one down towards the end to 60 bpm and then mix in a 120bpm track on top of the 60..if that makes sense, or in a similar situation , do 140 to 70 or a 180 transition to a 90..or vice versa

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems that the seconds song there isn't being brought in on 1. Now I know that's not always a big deal, but in my head at least it seems it would have sounded a little better if you had the count of 4 come in with the other track playing, and then bump it over on the count of 1. I know the songs aren't playing the same speed so maybe there's some problem with that. But meh. Just a thought, I suppose that's why we practice and n'joy right?

i've got a gig this weekend they want xmas cheese and old classic's looks like i need some of this drop and play style any tips??????

thanks for tutorial, man! but what about tracks with huge bpm difference? like 95 and 120? those two guys' difference is rather bit, but they at least sound good after cut off

How do i find out the best BPM partners or Blending? For example: 128 - 96 or 140 - 70 . When you mix those BPM together, They sound good!

can someone tell me the setup he has? sorry im new to this but if i start DJing, this set up will be my all time goal to buy

tracks are a little off, but i get the the idea. "He's right for the most part" great way to create a remix.

That sounded like shit to be honest, please do not try this.

tips for the ceiling !

1 way: EQ out the frequencies that distort: is hard, doesnt work always. another way: user the 'Harmonic'-effect on that is present on some of the Pioneer DJM's. You truly have to do this by ear.

can you show some of the xdm-aero.

man you owesome,all i need to know is how scratch?

is it considered copying someone else if your mix contains a few songs someone else has in their mix?

Challange: Try to mix electro with speedcore :DD

hay can i use this for my dj website?

Why not just put them on the same BMP and then find the beat rythm? You had tutorial on this i think

You also can make some coctails with it. lol

Can anyone tell me that starting dj-ing in age of 17 with none musical experience or information is too late or its ok ?

I'd sell a kidney for that gear.

More like Brody from Homeland!

I like his accent! It sounds sexy

Do a vid with ellaskins

Virtual dj is easy to use without controller to get the basics.
