*Me lying in bed at 2:00 AM:* Aight, it's time to learn how to be a DJ.

This video is an example of the quote “you can tell how knowledgeable someone is by how simply they are able to explain it” great video thank you

In 1 Year i become a dj who can scratch, mix, put fx in songs and match more, i get more than 400 dollar in a month as a 14 year old kid. Thank you your are a great guy

Been dj'ing for years but I still watch your beginner tutorials since the channel is so pro and visually striking. Thanks for helping to produce better dj's for our scene

after 35 years of dj-ing... mate every beginner (and not only those) should be grateful for your videos and the way you explain. all my respect to you!

he changed the title to add “Quarantine” bc he knows dam well people would consider this with all the time hahah smart man

7:07 the crossfader does not make the track 50% volume when in the middle, but it keeps both tracks at 100%, resulting in an equal mix. The track only goes to 50% volume when you drag the crossfader to 75% away.

What's even crazier is that Virtual DJ will sync your beats up automatically which lots of us old timers that used to mix vinyl call cheating but you'll spend an additional $200 on something you do on Virtual DJ for free. Save your money, cheat and invest in better music and sound system. No one will care, they'll be too drunk or looking at their phone all night. Actually thank you Carlo, this has been the best tutorial I've seen on controllers because a lot of other videos think that people know certain info and don't break it down like this.

I’ve always really wanted to get into DJing but the equipment was so intimidating but the way you explained it really encouraged me to dive in. Thank you !!!!

Best tutorial I ever watched. Other tutorials tend to consider me as a Dj already so they miss some basic explanation, not really beginner friendly

I stopped mixing nearly 20 years and am thinking about starting again, you've inspired me! (midlife crisis maybe?) Anyway - a tip for any beginner/ first time user: Learn to mix by using the same track on both decks, 1 and 2. Once you can mix seamlessly anywhere on the track, it will be much easier to do with different tracks when beat matched.

what im doing is - choosing music with pretty much same bpm - adjusting transition - Pitch changing - edjusting bass, treble and volume etc from each music i choose in one software to make a good mix , then i realize all i need is this physcal dj tool... look how newbie i am XD i like this videos bro

As a DJ, your job is to "Move the Crowd". If a sync button makes that easier, then use it. This isn't a dick measuring contest. You're here to inspire people to dance.

*Something to consider when reaching for the sync button...* There's definitely a stigma surrounding the use of the sync button (especially from old school DJ's who've been kicking since before digital DJ software) and the general consensus seems to be that DJ's who use the sync button are "cheating". By not manually beat-matching their tracks, they're taking a massive shortcut that makes them the equivalent of a human jukebox, which will make (as stated at 10:43) every other DJ hate you This thought process is shallow and outdated. When someone sets out to learn how to DJ, a lot of the times they're seeking out technical knowledge, learning what all the knobs and faders do so they can start mixing by themselves. But aside from the technical knowledge, part of the process of learning to DJ is learning to perform. Reading crowds, tailoring track selection and being able to play a dynamic set is another part of the DJing process that has to be learnt. Phrasing, energy, musical structureand effects are all other important aspect of DJing that require just as much attention as your transitions. If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it. DJ's who flex on other DJ's who use sync might have all the technical prowess in the world and be able to beat-match Dancehall with Psytrance, but if their set is *boring*, then they're the ones who should step back and assess their skills. If you use the sync button, and what's playing sounds good, and you dance, and the world doesn't end, *don't* feel pressured to stop using it anytime soon. There's no shame in using a little tech magic if it helps you to sound better.

Wicked first lesson thank you so much !!!! My first step as a DJ … will comment again in 5years when I’m a pro 👍🏽

Thank you so so much for this tutorial! You were clear and concise, and this is the type of guidance that a complete noob like myself needs. You've earned yourself a subscription, and I can't wait for more of your tutorials!

this video literally came out in the perfect time i just got my ddj 400 and i cant do shit thank you so much carloo

Here you go for all the timestamps: 2:32 DJ'ing & gear breakdown 4:02 Navigation 5:06 Deck section guide 6:38 Mixer section guide 9:17 1st transition lesson 14:26 Pro transition technique Hope you enjoy and keep on mixing 💯

I'm an old school DJ who started back in the late 80s. I love all the new tech, I use Traktor Scratch Pro with Control Vinyl on my Tech 1200s which I bought back in 1990. I still do mixes and turntablism with vinyl along with using Traktor and some of it's bells and whistles. I don't harp on any DJ for using what's available. In fact, I'm in the process of upgrading my Rane 56 to a new Traktor or Serato mixer in order to use all the "tools" available within either of the software programs. All I will say is, if you have a chance to "sharpen" your DJ skills by using real turntables, tonearms and cartridges, with either vinyl or control vinyl, you'll develop a better touch and overall control and understanding of the art. The best DJs I know are ones who mastered the art back in the day and then stepped forward and adopted the new tech and expanded their skill set with what's available today. The best part of Digital or Virtual DJ'ing today... Not having to haul 25 crates of vinyl to a gig... LOL... Had Traktor or Serato been around back in the early 90s, I would have used it and been a very very happy DJ not having to deal with the logistics of toting all that crap, lol. Keep the music going, the dance floor shall never die!!!

I've worked in education for 17 years. You are such a good teacher. Great video. Thank you!

This should be the guideline for EVERY type of tutorial out there. As simple as it can be, elements are broken down so noobs (like me) can understand but not overly explained, and a healthy dose of positivity. Keep up the great work!

You are a godsend. Transitions have been the hardest part of DJing for me and you explained it so simply. Now my transitions have gone from sounding trash to sounding kinda decent.

I am an Old School DJ finally moving out of Analog to Digital. This was a create technical tutorial broken down good so that even an old dog can learn new tricks. Great Job keep it up!

I haven't even finished the full video yet, but you got me over the hump of understanding. I am in a full practice session right now. Thanks for this.

Thank you for the lesson! Some of us "boomers" who DJed in 1997-2004 miss the time before CD tables when everything was vinyl and turntables and there were no aids to beat match, no tempo tap, no bpm counter, just your ears. BUT I decided this year that I miss DJing enough to break down and buy digital DJ controllers, I also have my technics 1200 mkII attached so I can use vinyl too. It is amazing all the things that the new technology can do and the transition isn't that difficult. Most of us aren't pissed just nostalgic

Just ordered a DDJ400, looking forward to start! Thanks for you videos, really clear and useful info!

I just recently gotten heavy into music and wanted to try DJ’ing I must say this is such a godsend to help me understand the basics! Thank you so much!

I've always had an interest on learning how to DJ way back 2015 but I never had anyone teach me. Equipment that time was expensive as well, so I only used a keyboard and a cracked DJ software (Traktor) to practice basic intros and outros shown in the video. It was just a hobby of mine that time. A friend of mine said that for someone without an equipment, I was doing pretty good. But I had to stop since I thought I wouldn't be able to jumpstart that career. After watching your tutorial, it brought me back to those days and it inspired me to learn more about being a DJ. I might actually go back and invest in an equipment this time. I learned a lot with this video, and I'll be watching your other video tutorials. Thank you so much.

This video is SUPER helpful! I've been inspired to DJ from watching a lot of streamers DJ and set a mood/vibe. You make look it so simple and fun compared to other channels that sound a little monotone or boring. I can feel your passion in the art. Thanks for making this video!

This guy is so goooood, no words for him. He explained everything so well!! And he replied to all the comments in this video lmao 😂😂😂

In hotel quarantine with a recently purchased DDJ-200 (Returned to Canada from Australia). You sir, are the MAN! Appreciate you explaining everything in detail, the fun animations, and the free tracks!!!

I bought a used DDJ 400 controller before knowing your channel and I'm happy to have found your channel with lots of tutorials with this model ! Thanks !

It's almost 9am and I've been up all night. Why am I trying to learn how to be a DJ instead of sleeping?

I’ve always loved EDM music and recently found my self air DJing all the time like a crackhead, just bought a controller and this tutorial is the best, thank you

Best video so far! Been through about 10-15 different ones and you really nailed the basics man. Thank you.

People tell me that I should dj because I have a deep love for music and that I have the personality for it! Appreciate you for making this video! I’ll look for some good turntables and mixers for beginners! Much love 💯🤍

"where's the death metal" "Pay me" xDDDDD

Every time I see good DJs use the DDJ-400, I become more glad that I bought it!

worked on this from 3 3:30 am to 7:00 am Cali time- thank you man - I messed up so much and learned so much.

Thank you! This is very helpful. I've tried different videos, and this was the most helpful!

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I haven't tried to DJ yet but always wondered what these DJ's were really doing with all those knobs and all. This explained it perfectly, you're awesome!

Cannot get any simpler tutorial on this topic. There wasn't one time in the entire video where the explanation started flying over my head. Extremely simple and understandable. Thank you for the amazing video, Carlo!

Music is what calms me down when something pisses me off. I always have headphones in. It’s an escape. You can be anyone you want and go anywhere. It’s like a drug honestly

I started last years, now I have 2 DJ studios and 5 laptops with Rekordbox, and also used CDJS, vinyl decks and controllers...still mixing.

i got drunk once and went crazy on the decks and now that im looking at it i dont know how i did it

That was the smoothest sponsor intro ever lol

Hey, i landed on your page after becoming obsessed with the footage of Four Tet, Fred Again and Skrillex headlining Coachella. My background is very much heavy metal and guitar based music, i just wanted to say that your crystal clear explanation and excellent articulation of wtf these machines do is inspiring me to pick one up, just to play around with. Excellent content, thanks for uploading!

Straight to thet point instructions. When I started 20 years ago it was just trial and error over and over. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise

Fantastic video! Wish I had this when I learnt the basics of DJing 15 years ago! You're a great teacher and your video production is fantastic. Thanks!

I'm a music producer and just starting out with DJing. Mate, your videos give me a whole new feel for music. Love them.

I just got my first controller a few days ago. I’m glad to come across your channel, this has been very helpful!

This is literally EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I was looking for as a complete newbie to DJing. Always wanted to learn and just purchased an SB3 to learn during quarantine haha. Everything from explaining the. knobs to clear step by step instructions on beat matching and transitioning is absolutely spot on. THANK YOU!!!! Although I will say, I find it super difficult to tweak the beat with the jog wheel and I refuse to touch the sync button lol (I suppose that's a skill I have to practice and master) Also, what is the track ID for song #1? :D

Sir thank you, in those difficult time, I was a DJ in the 80', I am now 54 but... I still got it in me. Just bought a used Numark PRO 3 for 120$, I know it's probably not the best but I have having a blast since 3 days. I took me a good... 15 minute to get back into it, not that bad... I just loved that video, maybe some youngster that think they don't have it will try. To day trying is cheap compare to when I was 20... ha ha ha. Thanks again sir Ho, I have to say that, in those time, in the 80', the price of one record was the price of a full month subscription anywhere now... dig that.

bro you still wonder how it's 3 fuckin' years ago and still 2023 ? u'r not alone...

You’re a wonderful teacher! Thank you so much for making learning this fun! ☺️🙏🏾

This video is one of the most informative and straight to the point videos about DJing I've seen! I've been to a couple workshops before but this has been rly good

Bro - you’re the best! I’ve been practicing using this tutorial all weekend! Hope to get as good as you one day - bless up!

DJ Carlo, you made it all simple to understand. Thank you so much for keeping it simple for us. Great video!

This helped so much, thanks for the video , everyone else just over complicated everything, this really helped out ALOT, THANK YOU

Thank You for clear and simple explanations! This is the way of teaching, no need for difficult terms etc. especially for people who are new to this art. All the best!

I've been trying to learn djing through youtube videos before joining the academy but I never be able to learn it from youtube but your video really helped me with beat matching, I've watched so many videos before for beat matching but it never helped me. Thankyou :)

Love the great detail in this tutorial. Everything was very clearly explained!

You're fantastic, I'm just starting again coming from using vinyl over a decade ago. Just wanted to thank you for all the tips

Not sure how I got here, but I watched a single DJ mix on youtube and now I'm contemplating getting the equipment and learning how to do it myself.

Omg okay so I start watching you when I became inspired to DJ, I got the equipment and watched a couple videos again (your 8 min. tutorial), now that I saw this pop-up has made me so happy. Now I keep rewinding it to watch it over again to keep learning. You are the ONLY person I have come across that actually explains something so clearly and precisely.

Just ordered my first set off equipment I'm pretty sure I actually learned something in this video you've earned a new subscriber thanks

Retired from DJ'ing. In 2006. Loved it and missed. It. Finally getting back into it at 52.

Thank you for making this and offering the free tracks to practice. Now I know why they call it a controller; feels like your playing a video game. Hitting the buttons, sliders and knobs all at the right time while looking at the screen and hearing the beat. You dumbed it down but that's how you learn! It's fun! Thanks!🎼

Love you Sir I've already learned all of this from your past videos. Although I have watched full for learning something new and .... Voila!! Now I know how to align miss matched beats Grids Thanks a lot

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS I LITERALLY BOUGHT THE DDJ 400 IN THE START OF QUARENTINE LMFAO THANK U SO MUCH

The best tutorial for a beginner Dj walk through. Vey clean, simple and to the point. Thank you ☄️☄️☄️

Thanks man appreciate your time and I got to say you're doing great easy and quick, your help today is the best

Excellent Tutorial! I just got my first controller (DDJ-400) for Christmas. I've played with DJ software without one off and on but using a controller is a challenge all its own too. This was really helpful and you broke it down and make it look so easy. Thanks!

Lmao at 3:32 when she texts him “あなたは愚かなDJです” that roughly translates to “you're a stupid DJ” 😅

This is one of the best explanations and video I have seen as a beginner, very well done!!

DJ Carlo Atendido, I referred your video to several of my friends who recently got into DJing. They love em'. Thank you so much for what you do. Darold

Im a filipino like you. And im 14 years old. I only make musics but i cant mix it because i dont have a dj mixer. But im planning to buy. So thx for this.

This is so great, really clear, informative and entertaining - thank you!

Oh my your explanations are one of the best i’ve ever heard. It’s so satisfying!

Thanks! I did my first transition using Roland DJ 202 with your lesson. Keep it up!

very helpful indeed... i have a background in sound with operating a recording studio and setting up and running a sound system in church but i was a lil confused cause i never been on the dj side before... thanks for making it very easy to understand and fun to learn.. i chose the mixtrack platinum fx to learn on and may end up keeping it for a few years!

This was an amazing beginners video ! Such a hard concept to teach and you killed it

there's a Dj competition and i was curious about it..so this was exactly what i was looking for!

Uy wow, sakto! Buti applicable pa rin itong 2020 guide for 2023 heheh, I'm looking forward to buying my first DJ Controller in the coming months which will be the DDJ 400. After watching you for more or less 6 years now, and as a Dance Music lover since 2008, I'm excited na. Kasi recently lang ako nagka-work and now lang ako nagkaroon ng super extra funds!!

I wish i had this when I was a begginer 3 years ago!!! Good job Carlo!! Greetings from spain 🇪🇸!
