Thank You, DJTLM for clearing up how to use a cue and gain function on the mixer. I am just starting out and I'm learning a lot from your videos. I appreciate the time and sacrifice you make (away from family and down time) to educate us beginner DJs. Keep up the awesome work! And once again, Thank You : )

Hi guys, I've been extremely busy with different projects, gigs and private life and as a result I was not able to make new video's in the last two weeks. I'm back in the lab right now and the new video's are dropping asap! Thanks for the support and patience. TLM

Hi guys, Due to health issues I couldn't finish video's I was working on (NS7-2 review) and I can't record new video's either. I lost my voice over the weekend and that makes it a bit difficult to record stuff ;) I should be fine in a couple of days so stay tuned! For the DJ's who would like to be part of the Saturday Super Session: Join the Saturday Super Session and send me your own video!

Who are the 10 haters that put thumbs down. This vid is excellent. Great 👍 work .

DJ TLM, thank you so much for this video! I sent you a message on IG and we spoke about my situation. I decided to go back to the very basics and fundamentals of being a DJ. After being a DJ for almost 1 year or so, I skipped the fundamentals and went straight into using shortcuts. As of today, I'm going back to phase 1 and starting all over again from scratch and mastering these fundamentals in chronological order. My success will be because of mentors like you. Watch me! Thank you!

Hi my man.. Another great video. All the best from Brazil. I'll be waiting for all your videos from this serie. Lucio

Love your vids and tutorials. Always good, well-explained knowledge. Look forward to the next ones.

keep it up bro loving the knowledge your dropping

You are a god send. Sooo helpful! LOVE your videos!

Hi djTLMtv, just want to say I have always been unclear on where to start and how to do it but tonight I have come across your videos and feel completely inspired and positive it can be learnt. You are really good at explaining this in an understandable way for a complete newbie, so I would like to ask you if there is room in your life to share your knowledge please continue doing so, both for beginners and more advanced (it's really a noble thing that you share with us for free these days). I currently live in Berlin and see a lot of good stuff and have decided to do this even though I am 35, not because of money or fame but because I feel something inexplicable when listening to certain styles and mixes, music can be so soothing and provoking at the same time, and it connects us all. This new DJ era really turns DJing into an art of it's own and I consider all those who play around with sound and turn it into something new and beautiful true artists. I believe all humans have an innate need to create, and you are helping many of us by providing this tool knowledge so we can create the music the way we feel it and share with others. Peace and many thanks.

Just starting out learning bout DJing and scratching..and your tutorial videos are truely awesome..thank you for the video n sharing the knowledge..

Great advice!

You may find it weird but i really like that tempo fader shows you that you are exactly in the normal speed of the song by opening this little light

Invaluable info. Thanks!

Thanks for all this advice, you are really helping me get started!

I do I.T and know a lot about electronics, and thought this video was going to be dull and pointless. I am writing to say subbed! Thank you, as this answered a lot of the what is this really for. I stumbled on this as I recently purchased the Big boy amps, crossover and got the sounds setup super sweet, wife bought me the Numark MT pro 3 and I am starting from the beginning on how to scratch! For years music has been my life. So I know my music, Now I want to play with the music to make it fun.. Who knows maybe one day when I get good wife can listen to my jams!

Thanks a lot for these videos man

Great Tutorial, Thanks

Thanks your videos are great.

thanks a lot for all these

THANKS DUDE!!!

Thank you!

Just getting started and I’m loving your videos, thanks 🤙🏻

U are professional Bro my respect!

Hi, I'm not even a DJ but I want to learn. I like your videos. They are very easy to understand.

Thank you very much mate, you are very clear! Keep it up

Very helpful! Much appreciated

V.helpful.. Thank You 😀

thanks for your videos! very easy to understand...your videos made me realize how hard djing is! so much complicated stuff involved...although im not planning to become a dj i love music and now have a better understanding the structure of music and now i can tell what manupulations a dj does when playing.. Your tutorials are great!

Thank you your tutorials are the best!!!

awsome vid!

Great tutorial with excellent points. Hooked to your videos, and can't wait to see the follow-up tutorial. Thanks for sharing.

thanks djTLM!

You are the best wow..

I love these man! I've seen your videos on the different set up and am gonna try time code on vinyl, I haven't seen you cover 2 vinyls, and a laptop in a three line mixer, for those hard to find songs or impossible to find marlib or dilla vinyls.. I would love to see you do a video on something of the sort.. mix in from deck one to cpu then cpu out to deck two. That's how I've done digital with vinyl but man that time code looks dope!

helpful video's man

these videos are awesome thanks for all the info!!!

you are just too damn good

thanks buddy, round of applause, DJ BabyLing

Thanks am following🙏

Those are some fresh kicks on those shelves, homie!

Well, I feel preety secure right there - my only equipment is mouse and keyboard ! :)

you really should sell your DJ lessons and make money doing this! There's a DJ school here in Austin called The Dub Academy that used to charge $400 for DJ 101 (each session is 3 weeks long), another $400 for DJ 102, and another $400 for DJ103, but b/c I've learned all the basics from all my DJ friends, I don't need DJ 101 and I already have all my equipment at home, so i don't need to pay for use of equipment. I say you should charge b/c your DJ videos are such good quality, your voice is clear and you talk just at the right speed that I can really hear and listen to what you area saying and I'd rather pay say $100 to watch your videos that i can watch over and over again if i need to than to pay $400 for 3 weeks worth of DJ classes. Plus not everyone has a DJ school in their city or town, so I think you could really do well!

please finish this series!!!!!!!

Another great part to this series. I saw it a lot with new DJs. They were bedroom DJs who thought they were great and they might be pretty good on their cheap home setup but they were totally lost on an expensive club install setup. Last night they practiced on their $60.00 Gemini Scratch master but tonight they are expected to use a $1400.00 Rane mp24 or a Dennon mixer. I also used to be the resident in a club where there WAS a 1/2 second sound delay between the booth and the dance floor... AND NO BOOTH MONITORS!!! A young or new DJ just hasn't gained the experience to know how to cope with that yet One young DJ I ran into could hardly make it through the night because he couldnt mix without a split cue in his headphones (cue in the left ear and master in the right) he spun one trainwreck after another because the club's installed Numark mixer didn't have that function. some of the new young DJs couldn't make the adjustment from a 10 inch 2 channel battle mixer to a 19 inch 4 channel club install mixer. If you really want to pull off a last minute save for some event organizer try spinning a short 30 minute DJ set at a downtown street festival just to keep the crowd happy using a Mackie 1604 PA mixer (look it up, 16 mono channels) and two discman CD players. I've done it, and it's not ideal, but would a young DJ even know what cables to use and where to plug them in to that PA mixer?

where is the cue on a vestax spin 2 mixer? thanks for all your help.

So in you opinion is the Shure 447s the best scratch needles I've heard some last longer

What about the "Cue" button on the newer controllers such as Numark Platinum. It is not there for the same thing, what is it there for exactly?

DJTLM...what are some of the best ..underground loop isolators .., that we can used ..when we are performing for more than 300 folks other ?

Can anyone chime in with my query below? I recently purchased a Numark M2 "Scratch Mixer" and notice that it doesn't seem to take much dirt, use, etc for the fader to begin slightly bleeding in certain spots towards the end. This prompts me to ask the question, would it be worth investing in an Innofader down the track to install into this mixer? The Innofader would basically cost more than the total mixer does brand new but as it's what is primarily used when scratching, can it still be considered an investment? Thanks.

so there are two ways to match the songs 1)from cue and then do it manually and 2) by just pressing sync. Right?

Could you possibly do a video on how to use a 'dj battle tool vinyl' or the same if the vinyl is ripped to mp3 as one long track. I know its a stupid question, but as a beginner its confusing. Alot of my samples are all joined together, eg. Ahhh, fresh, 1234, etc, and there's hardly any space between them. Some of the beat samples are so short too. So basically, im unsure what im doing and how to use these samples properly or how to do a mix with them.

Maybe worth noting is that with mixers like the pioneer 800 the digital/line switch is on the back panel, for the guys switching between serato and usb and vice verca. At first I did not know that, at one of my first gigs I was up following a guy using usb's, I hooked up my serato correctly but only got sound out of 1 channel. Turned out the switch was on digital, and I didn't figure you would have to look for something at the back panel of the mixer. Had me going back to back with that guy instead of just doing my thing :p

Hey there!!! i was just wondering. I'm gonna use a CDJ800 for the first time on saturday, and i'm used to using a controller. i just want to ask, HOW do i load tracks FROM SERATO SCRATCH LIVE using PIONEER CDJ800 TO DECKS 1 AND 2. CAUSE on NUMARK MIXTRACK PRO 3 YOU CAN FIND the LOAD button for decks 1 and 2 on the top. how do i load tracks to deck 1 and deck 2 on a CDJ800??? HELP!! hehe = )

I miss working as a sound and light tech, I don't have this kind of strip on my controller :( Thank for all tutorial :)

Hey DJtlm This is a personal question, I am planning to attend DJ course work offered by dubspot.com in LA. The price seems expensive (1300$ if I reserve it this friday), but wanted to get trained in person. Any idea if this would be worth it ? Btw I your posts are really helpful. I learn a lot sitting at home through your videos.

hey...... when the song on the two cds gets finished.. do we have to manually change it?

I practice djing at my desk but should I be standing ? Does it matter ?

I wish I could play around with a DJM900 :\ A DDJ SB2 is great (really they are sensational beginner mixers) but after 5 months it's getting boring and feels limiting at times not to mention mines wearing out already because of how much I use it

Hi DJTLM! May I know the difference between cdj and a controller and the different equipment for DJ'ing or its parts? So sorry just really a beginner- to-be here thanks!

What kind of travel case are you using to store your dicers?

Great video, but unfortunately the position displayed is not the best. I suggest repositioning the camera and filming as we would see when applying your knowledge to equipment.

Did you upgrade your CF on the DJM 909 with an Innofader ?

appreciate the videos man big help. where did you cop the tee?

Thank you so much!

@Dj TLM Everyone says traktor is extremely difficult. Do you agree have you ever used it.

I can't find my cue botton :( i'm using virtual dj

you know what would be great? if you could turn the camera upside down so we could have better POV;)

Hey tlm.I just wanted to ask that do you have any of ur vedio in the club!?I just wanted to see how u rock the party!!

Who else is watching these videos while not having a damn idea about DJing?

very easy to understand...thank you so much for this...sent you an email 18 March!!no response :((

I can't turn the power off to these drums! What? Aye, where is the power button? They have so much power. I don't even know how to turn off the power. The drum power. There's got to be a button. It's power hour!

I guess you've missed one important feature in this video: crossfader's curve type.

sorry but the gain knob is not a volume knob

lol You Blew away your Channel Fader 1 Plastic Holder on your DJM 909

Gain and volume aren't necessarily the same

hey you speak long with out showe????

Thank you!
