YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY MOST RECENT MIXES ON MY SOUNDCLOUD PAGE
@ / anthonyclemente
In this tutorial I give you all a little feel of what goes in to my mixes. Keep in mind this is only one aspect of Virtual DJ. Beatmatching and looping is important in getting a good sound for your mix, however to make a full mix, you need to remember to focus on transitioning, flangering/effects, waves and scratching.
This video covers to basics to syncing and beatmatching on Virtual DJ.
I don't own any music used in this tutorial. I simply mixed it.
Songs used:
Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke ft. Lil Jon - Turbulence
Ali Nadem - Electro Gladiators v2
CZR - Structure
Muse - Uprising
Enjoy!

Good point. Everyone has their own style that makes their DJing unique, even the most advanced DJs (with their fancy Serato/Tracktor) can learn a thing or two by watching amateurs and observing the techniques they use.

Just a tip, DJ to DJ, stay away from that Sync button! It's easier not to touch it when using a controller or CDJS, but still. Beatmatching by ear is a lot more professional and it builds a lot more skill. I'm not trying to bring you down. You definitely have potential. When I try using loops, it's a nightmare. But just keep doing what you're doing. Pretty impressed after only four months of mixing. I've been in the game for two years and I'm still learning. So keep at it, see if you can't practice beatmatching my ear, and have fun with it! -DJKuruption

Arron Hoffman I agree, however a good way to learn beatmatching is to start with sync button and counting beats, then to using the displayed bpm, and your pitch fader, then eventually use your ears.

do you know how to make a dramatic stopping at the end of a song? i mean a stopping like in the club a "boom" sounds if you know what im talking about... as some of songs are very difficult to mix together but if the first songs can have a dramatic boom ending sounds and then we can put a short period of time of silent and start the second song. looking forward for help .

It's best is because sometimes the "sync" button doesn't always work perfectly, if you learn to do it manually then those times where tracks don't sync correctly you'll be able to hear it instantly and know exactly if you should pitch up or down to align your songs, software makes our job easier because it does for us what we used to do manually by ear, therefore by training yourself the traditional way you'll become much better because you'll understand what's going on at all times

This will be a dumb question, but, Is there any way to listen to Track 2 more clearly while Track 1 is playing? I obviously have to somewhat guess where Track 2 is while Fading because I can not hear it properly. I have a mac and no turn table, how can I do this!?

@Flygon11 12 жыл бұрын

You're right in the fact that the sync button makes a DJ's job easier, and using only software to mix doesn't make you a "real" DJ, but I feel it's almost required to have a good ear for the music you play in order to be a good DJ. I shouldn't have to state the fact that DJs MUST be able to match up songs by ear and transition them in a way that makes their mix seem like one big song.

Thanks man. Really good video and well explained. I have a question though. I play a lot of DnB and there are drops which I usually want to line up and that's not an easy thing to do as I kind of want the song to start at a certain point, fade in with the other and then wait till the both drop at exactly the same time. Any tips on that or you willing to make a video showing that? I've just been guessing it by the eye for the most part but it's very very inaccurate by a multiple beats and it's very annoying. Cheers

@guldgg 10 жыл бұрын

Well, I am not a really experienced DJ but what you could do is to hot cue one of your song a certain amount of beats before the drop. When the other song reaches that amount of beats before the drop u simply hit the hot queue button for the other song and start to fade in. This although is pretty darn hard if u decide to set the fading point at lets say 24+ beats before the drop.

sweet thanks :) not sure if you want to but mapping virtual dj to map to your keyboard helps beginners like I've mapped the arrow keys to slowly controll the cross fader left or right then CTRL left and right to slam the cross fader straight left and straight right then I use the key bored to up and down the bass the alt key to sync and the numbers for loops and ctrl numbers to set cue's the F buttons to play them! it makes it so much easier and it makes it easy! you should do a tutorial on it

The first turntable I have had, didn't have the sync so I had to do it that way. When I got a new turntable that had sync it was much easier.

@tarujivan DJing is blending songs of same or similar tempo. You can't match those two songs without drastically speeding up or slowing down one or the other. The only way to blend two songs of different tempos is simply to be creative and make the offset BPMs as subtle as possible.

@Flygon11 13 жыл бұрын

@HailSagan4Realz The ideal blend is to have the 4th notes playing over each other. If you miss on your timing, make sure you have the volume down or have headphones, and hit the sync button. The sync button automatically matches the beats so you don't HAVE to be precise. Once the beats are matched and sound good together, feel free to bring in the next song, and/or (while) slowly fading the other song out.

Im not gonna lie, i didnt have a clue what i was talking about 3 days ago and have done a lot of reading up since then. I agree with you totally. But theres nothing wrong with the sync button in the right situation i would say. But beatmatching is not hard so its worth learning
