  • That is just playing music. Ok guys, download MIXXX. Its free and it IS DJing. With scratch and shit. Its 100% free too. I'm not advertising cos its open source

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS LMAO. ARE YOU SERIOUS GOD I HOPE THIS SHIT WAS JUST FOR JOKES

  • i cant become a dj.. i forgot my gaffer tape

  • FUKK U

  • this video sucks!

    

  • wow, now i know how to be as awesome as skrillex for sure

  • Ridiculous! This video des not teach how to DJ with a laptop!

  • DEM DHAJSH ! :D

  • his voice is so annoying

  • This is how you plug devices together not djing lolz

  • So this is what DJing has come down to

  • Step 10: Don't use an apple.

  • @TehUndeadCpt you see i used to be a fucking apple hater like you but after i decided i want to produce music i was so fucked up because i found out the best D.A.W for producing is Logic and its only available on Apple -_-

  • @wantedwanted21 You don't have to use the best, Deadmau5 uses FL Studios and he makes amazing music. My friend uses FL Studios and his music sound like he has been making it for years and is signed. Its not about what is the best, its how you utilize your surrounding tools. I generally don't like macs because I've used windows all my life, I don't feel like learning terminal, you have to press a button to right click, and etc. I've use one before, its just matter of preference/opinion.

  • @TehUndeadCpt well i changed a few days ago from FL studio to Ableton,at first i was like wtf...the fl studio interface its really easy to use compared to this..but you see i got used to it and what i found its that it has alot of more tools than fl studio and they are kind of better,the sound its just great,looks like its masterized from the first time you make a combined beat or just any sound and...the performance...its just so fucking perfect,in fl studio i had my sound---

  • @TehUndeadCpt in fl studio i had my sound always glitching and in ableton there is no such problems even if i load a bunch of vsts ..what i am trying to say its that this is bulshit that the person behind the daw is what it counts since u cannot apply your creativity and cant expres yourself if you dont have the good tools....obviously logic is much more better than ableton and fl studio,i dont know it might be just from my experience but everyone has its choice....well as ---

  • @wantedwanted21 Normally has to do with if you have itunes or something alike is open, happened to me before till i closed it. And I don't really follow what D5 uses, he has a tutorial with him using FLS so i just assumed he still uses it. either or, they are good all in there own way, i've seen some amazing songs with all the programs. Still i think personal preference has to do with some of it. GL with making your music sir hit me up when you got some stuff done :3

  • @TehUndeadCpt I already have some stuff done with fl studio ;) the daw is good but i think im going to do like 3 more tracks to make demos and send them to spinning records..but i dont really know what to do after i make my tracks..im thinking to spend it on blogs/websites and see if i get the chance to find a manager or something...what i want its to make producing music as a job,i want to earn money by it,i dont need popularity or all this shit like the kids nowadays.

  • @TehUndeadCpt anyways if you wanna check some of my tracks email me at malibu_essence21@yahoo.com or add me on messenger or if you preffer you can add me on youtube to see when i will put some tracks,the genres are tech-house/house/electro-house­/dance(but combined with some house percs)

  • @TehUndeadCpt well as i knew by now the D-5 was using ableton...since when is he using fl studio ???

    I know some people are using fl studio like for example Afrojack but im not sure the legend of Joel is using fl studio..

    Chocolate puma,SHM,Laidback luke are using Logic and much more experienced producers...allright thats all i wanted to make clear,sorry for spending your time...

  • Djing ... with Itunes ... No.

    The hole video is fucked up, but ...

    seriously? read the manual?!

  • thus why real djs can't get good paying gigs anymore.

  • if playing music tracks from itunes is djing I am Chuck Norris

  • garbage use virtual dj

  • this is ok for starting but DONT plan on being tiesto after day one cuz anyone can sound good ising just the computer

  • WOW! i found this more patronising than anything. What a wanker!

  • so you have to do all that shit just to play music on your laptop,,,,,

  • Howcast: How to Play Music off of iTunes

  • djs who use laptops are fags

  • how to be a dj with a lap top

    u need

    a lap top

    step 1:go to youtube

    did u know:u read this?!

  • Satire is fun.

  • The real way to Dj from your laptop is to go to a web site that sells music gear and order your self some turn tables and a mixer.

  • im 11 and i can dj properly not just playing shit of my laptop grow up man !!!!!!!!!!!

    shit video

  • nop !!!!

  • i learnt nothing

  • Just hook up DJ Hero and let the tunes flow!!!!

  • I was gonna leave a comment regarding this method, looks like my job was done by many already!

  • this no dj

  • wait wait wait.... not even dj software..? when it said from a laptop i thought it meant with some sort of software like virtual dj and a control. this is complete crap do not listen to this.

  • WTF!

    

  • looks at the "You will need " section WOW I saved a quarter inch on my dj table

  • This is NOT dj'ing. This is fucking playing music from a laptop. WOW. this is a fail.

  • Hrm...

  • Why the fuck would you send the audio out to a guitar cab? It's called a fucking PA have you heard of one?

  • Can't tell if srs or just trolling.

  • @LaneAtomic Hope to God it's trolling. Also confused as to why tape isn't in the optional section...

  • Just so viewers will understand, most of us have no issue with start up DJ's, but this is not a source you should use. Like someone else said, look up Ellaskins, or look up Briansredd here on Youtube. They are real working DJ's who do tutorials and give assistance.

    This video is crap.

  • All you need is SHIT!!!

  • fucking useless nob use mixmiester twat

  • Using only a laptop is not DJing. i carry a laptop so I would not have to carry crates of records or folders of CDs. You iTunes Mixer kill me.  You are not a DJ, you are a playlist pusher.

  • All of you haters :))

    This is a video when you want to learn how to DJ your own party..

    Not being a professional dj :)

    the word "disk jockey" doesn't just mean you already have to make mixes and stuff :)

    Do you know what they call the people who speak on the radios?

    that's right! a dj! :) yet they don't mix shit.. they just announce what's this and that

    Okay? now stfu? :)

  • did they just say leave some space on your dj table for a bevarage??? FAIL!!!

  • It's an alright video. If you're using Itunes, you're just pressing "play". On the flipside, if you don't have much money to invest into equipment, this is a pretty good video. Just get a mixing program. NOT ITUNES. lol.

  • FAIL!!!

  • This reminds me of those boring "how to" videos for science class. This is a beaker, fill the beaker with water Lol

  • Not not DJing, That called PLAYING MUSIC OFF OF YOUR FUCKIN' ITUNES PLAYLIST!!!! YOUR NOT A REAL DJ,

    p.s. if there are any beginner DJ's go to the youtube dj : ellaskins. he has all of the information and tips you need to become a DJ

  • @DJQuickBeat that is being a dj

  • @DJQuickBeat sure its not a real dj...

    but dude.. dj=disc jockey...

    they don't want to make you a dj..

    they just show you how to disc jock on your pc...

  • @DJQuickBeat Most DJ's now go digital, they play off their laptop and use turntables/CDJs as MIDI controllers. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooob

  • @DJQuickBeat if you think about, that's basically djing...depends how good you get at mixing songs and adding effects but yea, thats the jist of it.

  • if you dj with a laptop only, your not a real dj.

  • @GMixProductions187 what makes you say that? Some of the biggest DJs in the world use laptops?

  • @LaptopJockTV

    just cause some producers are famous and good at making beats, dosnt mean they know how to mix.

    using a laptop only is not djing. anyone can press sync, play and then fade the volume. try using 2 decks, thats real skill. stupid sync button, its for amateurs.

  • @GMixProductions187 I agree that it takes more than just pressing a sync button, but to say it's all about having two decks isn't a valid argument. There are DJs with "decks" that don't have a clue how to use them.

    Also, some of the tops DJs, Sasha for example, that used vinyl and decks for years have jumped ship for programs like Ableton, which runs off a laptop. I even learned using technics 7 years ago. I will always love my vinyl, but the future of Djing will def be from a laptop.

  • @GMixProductions187

    no, if you can't mix then you're not a real dj. at the basics all you need is a mixer

  • Question is there a book HOW TO DJ for DUMMIES with the little man on the cover :D

  • I cant believe somebody made this video not as a joke.

  • im a dj and i think this bullshit you need way more stuff and being dj isnt about puting on any song it about puting new song and konwing how to mx them

  • i feel extremely offended...... Virtual DJ brought me here..

  • are you FUCKING kidding me?

    This is ridiculous. I'm not even a real DJ and I feel offended.

  • step 10: kill yourself, as this would not only make you look like a total doushbag but insult every hard working DJ out there who bought expensive vinylls and mixes for the love of music.

  • wtf that's just using iTunes |:

    get actual decks or even a cheap controller or use virtual DJ or something |:

  • No dont dj like that! Dj with serato or virtual dj instead!

  • @goldkutz2 Serato and Virtual DJ shouldnt be in the same sentence ..

  • This does not teach you how to DJ .

  • i love how he can fuzz the apple symbol but not the underarmout one at 1:00

    haha

  • He said plug the amp in the surge protector twice.

  • this should be:how to dj on a laptop at a gay party

  • I just learned that I will need a laptop. Cool. Thanks

  • This video is a waste of time. Instead you should take that gaffa tape and put it over your mouth

  • laptop,headphones,torrent,spea­kers :)

  • I pity the people that went to the party with that so called "DJ" LMFAO !

  • Terrible video... And why does he have hit laptop on top of that Crate cab full if giant magnets?

  • Thanks for the Vids. Now I can compete with the likes of Roger Sanchez...

  • @maaldrift 24 hours before you fuck, make sure the chick is alive. No you are ready to watch the chick go down... ;)

  • @maaldrift you should also add: "Did you know?The first bitch fucked with gaffer tape was my mom!"

  • O and I forgot: Did you know: iTunes can move from a song to another automatically?

  • This is so fucking stupid. That's not Djng, that's just making a playlist and make it sound loud. This is the first video I am going to dislike.

  • Really? we need a tutorial for this?

  • wtf...lmao LIES!

  • @maaldrift =)))) =)))) ;))))))))))))))

  • wait.... is that a a technic turntable behind him at 1:00? wtf....
