I wish this guy was my instructor in my dj class that i just enrolled at...his enthusiasm really makes you work hard and at the same time enjoy while you do it. Keep it up! i'm learning a lot!
I have a newb question and I am still saving up to get my first bit of kit.
I noticed you were controlling the vinyls bpm when mixing the 2. Can you hear both tracks simultaneously while the speakers play only one? If not, how do you know exactly where your at? Same question applies to when you are playing 1 song, then fading it into the next track, say at a club. Thanks for posting the vids, great help.
@attoghaveympops yeah there is the sound played through the headphones and the sound played through speakers. You can adjust the sound in the headphones also, so you could be playing track 1 on the system, but only track 2 in the headphones, and then you can mix track 1 to your headphones, playing along with track 2 in the headphones, so that you can make sure that everything sounds fine before you mix track 2 onto the system.
Tip: as a mix DJ always listen to the High Hats first, then the kick drum (if house music). No matter what style music, if the hats match, so does everything else......
i have just started djing and i have reached a problem. There are two tracks i'm playing but i only want the vocals and guitar from one and the drums from the other. I have got a dm950 for a mixer and two belt drive turntables......how do i do this
Hi mate, need a bit of help here - why dont the start button on my stanton t90's work? I need you're help you are the superstar dj . please reply , p.s i've been admiring you from a far.
@meankilla1 lol stanton t.90s are shit, thats probably why your play button doesnt work. for the price of the t.90's you can spend a little bit more and get industry standard sl1200s which will last you a life time of playing records.
@Sasinio I agree completely. Ellaskins has helped me out so much in getting started as a DJ. If someone has an issue with these videos or what he says, then find somewhere else to complain. No one watching these videos gives a dam if you don't believe it what Ellaskins is saying/doing. Keep up the great work Ellaskins, and thank for all your help in getting me started on the path of DJ'ing. All the best from Toronto!
Your a twat. And doesnt he use the pitch control to touch up or down the record? the hardest but best way of doing it?? get out of here, no body wants your opinion. I think hes great, weather uve just bought a set of decks or have been playing for years, everyone can learn something
Hey I was watching alot of ur videos (not all so maybe you have done this) but I want to be i Rap DJ ... so i am wanting to know how do you Chop/mix songs with words in them because not all rap Song have the same beat .. imma starter so im not sure about the 1 2 3 thing but lots of beat are different and i want it to sound as clean as yours PLEASE HELP MAKE A VIDEO OR SOMETHING PLEASE MAN
hey john i have this idea. isnt it easier to count seconds in order to mix two songs instead of bars? i mean if you want to go 4 bars back isnt it easier to just go say 20 seconds? and more accurant?
There are probably about as many ways to mix two tunes together as there are different recipes for baked beans, yet they are all (well almost all) quite good :) -- and all with the same basic ingredients, it's the small changes that make the variety.
another great tutorial johnathan, lol at the end! Another point on the subject is jamming sessions, get some fellow djs round, all set up your equipment and take it in turns cutting up different genres of music. I would recommend it, as it has really helped me develop my overall mixing technique.
man u r a great dj and a great teacher too thanx so much

EQ kill switches can help to a limited degree (very limited), but you really need to look for instrumentals and acapella versions of your tracks.
