Dj Tutorial on mixing House

[theoriginalbensteele]

Calling the left track L and right track R, can you effectively send the bass freq from L to sit over the top of R, and take the bass off R etc?

eg if L has got a killer bassline, you can whack the bass EQ up and lay it on top of R whilst you remove R bassline with EQ?

[lkrux]

@theoriginalbensteele yes.

[TheNepharian]

Thumbs up if you think vinyl mixing is the best...

[SpazzJazzy]

God i love the way you speak.

[powerChriZ]

... hello! :-D

[jsmooth181]

Lol nvm I just found a good webcite for the U.S but I still would like to know the answers to my other questions if you could answer them for me 

[jsmooth181]

Also when you put the record on the turntable how do you know where the song is on the record?

[jahooey123]

@jsmooth181 you can see a little line on the record where a new track starts

[jjavitable1]

@jsmooth181 the very shiney rings in the record are usually a drop...no baseline.

[jsmooth181]

Where would you recomend to get records in the U.S. I am super new at all of this and I am just starting to build my dj equipment meaning I am starting to buy it and also how to artists such as bassnectar or skrillex make there own dubstep mix are they just doing the same thing as you are doing in your vids like mixing different tracks or is there a way to create a whole track without other peoples tracks. I hope this makes sense please get back to me.

[LaughingWater2]

@jsmooth181 yes there is a way of creating a whole song without other peoples tracks its called playing an instrament. only kidding what skrillex, bass necter and loads of others do is producing with software called a digital audio workstation, if your intrested in learning to make your own tracks theres loads of videos for that

[numcaps2]

@jsmooth181 please dont use skrillex as a cite for djing. he presses 30 buttons total during his show. hes shit live, good producer.

[runekey]

Jesus, every video has a different set of turntables :O

[R4wwkit]

I swear it seems like your high in veryone of your videos that you talk about random shit lmao

[Dhennics]

I like stuff :)

[cristian3131]

love your wacky style :D

[fuckudevin443]

Just wondering, these songs were picked for sounding well together, correct? Or did you just randomly pre-pick them?

PS: You're amazing man, this was REALLY helpful.

[DJTwiggiee]

@fuckudevin443 Yes he chose them so they sound well together, you listen to the keys of the song. If you just randomly pick them it could sound well but most of the time you'll find that it just won't blend in with each other.. so if you're planning on mixing or you do mix listen to the keys of the song before you go and record a mix/do a mix at a gig. Practice is everything :)

[fuckudevin443]

@DJTwiggiee Thanks man. I'm a newbie, so how do you figure out the keys? Or do I have to go get myself a music major degree before I learn more about this.

[DJTwiggiee]

@fuckudevin443 Here to help man :) It's extremely hard to to figure out the keys.. it's kinda like imagine this is me singing right.. and i do this "ooooooooooooooo" really deeply right and then i sung "aaaaaaaaaaaa" really lightly.. these wouldn't go together because one is really low and doesn't concentrate on you high notes and the other concentrates on the high notes and not the low notes. it's the same with a song, i really hope this helped :P i think i'm confusing my self as well :P

[Jimipappa]

@DJTwiggiee how would you transition from a high keyed song to one with a lower key?

[TheEpicDjGAMER]

stuff, and stuff

[jehan0]

helloooooooooo ...rite :p

[QBziZ]

you never pitchbend on the platter. is there a specific reason for that? or are you just used to doing this way? because as good as your demo mixes are, they could still be somewhat snappier with a faster tempo change when they're drifting.

[ANGELO13111]

@QBziZ he said in a past video that he learned to mix using belt drive turntables, meaning a belt spins the platter not a direct motor like on a direct drive turntable. when you try and pitchbend on it will fuck up and either go wayyyyy too slow or wayy too fast, so he just learned to use the pitchfader, and thats how im learning, to me it seems easier. i never reallt got the point of pitchbending while beatmatching. but when it comes to mixing and beatmatching you can do it anyway you want

[Ranieri069]

i love this guy ay, all of his videos have the entertainment factor and repetition which make it espcially easy to get and learn what he is saying. keep up the awesome tutorials man

[rdalt13]

has anyone ever noticed that he looks a bit like Joel Zimmerman?

[alain026]

@rdalt13 only because he`s a bold? haha

[Morbror80]

Confusing? :P Lol :) Atherwise a very good vid. :)

[Tumppe1337]

ellaskins do you recommend behringer ddm 4000 for a beginning dj? i've heard its quite good value for the money it costs (300euro)

[birtles69696969]

@Tumppe1337 hi i hav used dat mixer and yea its a great budget mixer/beginer mixer the headphone jack placement is abit of an odd place and the faders r abit light but id say go for it i got 1 for £180 if i were u id go second-hand if ur a novice dj

[ddsbballgirl]

lolol i love your personality !

[DeeJayDibz]

OHH MY GODDD I WANNA LICKABLE CLINK!!!!!!

[jpdub45]

sick vid

[TheDJRUN]

DUDE SAME TURNTABLES AS I HAVE!

[yodudewasupman]

@TheDJRUN which on r they?

[doctorshabs]

Can somebody tell me wat does the CUE button On MIXER does?

[w35m4n]

@doctorshabs As far as I know, it makes it so that as long as you hold it down, it plays from the cue point, and when you let go, it stops and returns to that point, so next time you hit it it starts from the cue point again. You can set an alternate cue point, but if you don't it automatically makes the cue point the beginning of the song. I'm not a DJ, I'm just going from what I've heard.

[supermathi]

Ellooo!

lol i love your videos :)

[rubiksfan2000]

i love how it seems like u have a dj setup in every room =O ur awesome man

[kykydj]

спасибо!

[nissansilvialover]

hey i have a numark total control and im not sure if the jog wheels on them are supp

osed to control the oposite sides of the decks and i was wondering if you would know anything about this problem or if its supposed to be like this

[DJThijz]

Did it sometimes, but I personally dont realy prefer bringing back tracks. It'll make the crowd think something like: 'Why the fuck would he ever do that? I already heard that song, I want a new one!'

Just my opinion, great vids tough!

Practice 'n joy!:)

[magical754]

Nice to see some vinyl. Nice backspin.

[Dazabon]

This really is a great idea, i remember the first hed kandi cd i bought did something similar. They palyed a song (cant remember name) and then one of the last tracks was a remix of the same song(i think it was a different melody with the same acapella or something like that) but it's a real nice journey where you kind of end up back where you started. if you get what you mean???

[sludem9]

you love stuff

[Giocchino]

Great stuff as always- I appreciate all the work you do, it really helps to have someone explain all that stuff.

[Nyiddle]

some nice tunes y'got there

good tutorial as usual mr deejay tutor

[DJStuTV]

helpful as always, reminds me i need to work on mixing more and not just scratch all the time. good stuff sir!

[Giggity2007]

Hi Johnathon. Great vid as always. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your channel. By the way, when do you plan on coming out to California? Thanks for your time.

[Giocchino]

@Giggity2007 I agree, you're really in need of a trip west.

[djsixottawa]

These kinds of short mixes are really powerful when using songs on compatible keys...

[djsixottawa]

These kinds of short mixes are really powerful when mixing in items that are on compatible keys.

[chopsoppy]

Hey ellaskins. I Really like ur tutorials, can u give me an advice though on what tracks are good for beginners to practice beatmatching?

I'm using rmp1-tables.. Thnks a lot...

[Staticshriek]

very helpfull J, thanks a million

[XspaceGraphicTuts]

how much does this setup costed you?

[Hubanjo]

nice stuff man :D

but i prefer to use virtual dj with a mixer as input. Don't understand much of this, its to hard to change so much of flp's so much.

[djharun91]

hahahah i a really funny men :D , i saw you in frankfurt music messe :)

[Marc533]

Your not only great att explaining, but you're also very very funny man XD

[DJStereoTypical]

[CarAudioGuy21]

@ellaskins thanks :) .. love your vids man ..

[IndieGeekProductions]

@CarAudioGuy21 looks like krk rokits

[cheekybadger84]

@CarAudioGuy21 Looks like KRK RP8's at a guess. maybe RP6's.

[tonyguetterman]

this is great rite when i needed a video on house =]

[detauk]

Fantastic video again mate!

[ehsan83]

I think you can get the most of this idea by using 3 cd or vinyl players. playing 1 song from beginning till the end & in the mean time mixing 2 other songs with 2 others. THAT should be something really interesting !

[JulzBasti]

LICKABLE CLINK!!!

[lukas3126]

grate video john

[s0drampage]

Can you tell where you buy all your music ?

[MATSENAL]

STUFF=PUNK

[stefanmplayer]

WOW J.

i really LOVE the way you beatmatch ''riding the pitch'' :p. it just makes it all look so incredibly easy

i wish i was that good. but i guess that will take a couple years op practice.

[djvictorsalazar]

Very nice!

[UnderAlpha]

jiggly

[MrMortjon]

kind of stuff... stuff

[deejaystyle1]

thats the way i mix bud shadow mix a call it. insted of mixin at the end mix 3 or more tracks in to one final peice. takes skill and heres a little capture cam to enjoy. thanks ur da man

[fezsez]

Nice - how about 'thematic mixing' where you keep returing to unifying themes?

[VVooDz]

I've come to the conclusion that all the time I'm using Traktor I'll never fully concentrate on the music for beatmixing. That might lead you to think I'm just hitting the sync button all the time. I'm not. The problem is from the go Traktor gives you a BPM so you know immediately which way your going to move the pitch control and you're visually adjusting and not really listening.

What am I getting at?

You'll never learn to sync as fast as J all the time I'm looking at a monitor screen.

[qwertz4you]

Ahh dude your equipment is soo awesome :(

-lkd

[FerreNL]

ello instead of alright folkes/guys??

good tutorial

[32JSE]

Nice. It was even better than i thought when you explained it.

[xaqlim]

Any stuff you're recording....I Like Your STUFF!

[DJJuicebox117]

this guy is awesome lol

[Technomonster93]

can you tell me waht is the name of your mixer pls?!

Thanks Technomonster

[mousacy]

@Technomonster93 looks like a Pioneer DJM 800

[Technomonster93]

@mousacy

Yes I saw it after I posted xD

but there is an special paint on it, I like this!

I would like to know were you can buy it or make this paint on your mixer

Mfg Technomonster

omg my english was better sometimes xD

[jimmybrite]

@Technomonster93 Mousacy is right, if you find it hard to recognize, it's because he put a nice vinyl graph on there (or so I think it's a vinyl sticker)

[Technomonster93]

@jimmybrite ahh ok thank you

[ellaskins]

@Technomonster93 djm800

[1adjan1]

@ellaskins i knew it is a djm 800.

But how did u get that AWESOME Skin on it??

[moowgli78]

@ellaskins you've forgotten to tell him that there's a skin on your djm-800..

[uniQueOutpuT]

@ellaskins i live this mixer with the grafik on it <3 :)

[uniQueOutpuT]

@uniQueOutpuT *love - of course

[d2dak87]

[ReboyGTR]

Hey J! That speaker back there,the black and yelllow one,what speaker is that?

[DJCob1]

WOW. You are great j.

I really want to see more of you doing mixing on turntables and cdj's. Thanks.

DJCob1

[vinyljunkie07]

It would be even cooler if you had a third deck handy there, I guess you could call the "filler" track a "tool" which is what I know them more as...you know them J' like some of those cuts that are beats only but go nicely with other things..thing is even better to have those two playing then mixing the third one in while fading out the two..A lot of people don't get tools...but thats where people like us come in ;-) The Bubble beats is a good example of a tool

[jon0o0o0]

thank you you are the best im watching your tuts since 3 months <333 them.

Yeah tomorrow i get my tuntables 2 technics sl-1210 mk12 second hand :) practice and enjoy whey :)

[Streamtronics]

Yeah... Great STUFF man ;) was fun

[OneStopDiscos]

Thanks, this really could be helpful soon! Really good punk style video.

[almor619]

stuff is like ... word ...

[alancruzr]

coooool !!!

[ronansynanable]

i like the "stuff"

[7thrx]

Great vid. Your jargon is always the best.

[ZoryaDanis]

Yes, i can do something like that. But thank you, anyway!

[YaGiMaStaZ69]

very cool

[foulmouthc1]

this would work if you had a killer lyric that you played the track and then dropped it back in during a instramental break like 10 mins later, a great way to play with the crowd

[SleepwalkerGM]

dont you have like 5 other videos about this very thing?

[ellaskins]

@SleepwalkerGM no i have 8!

[SleepwalkerGM]

@ellaskins strataaaaaaaaa

[swimwithRT]

@ellaskins

I love them!

[necnenecne]

@ellaskins hahaha uda man

[Wincklehoff]

@SleepwalkerGM Why would that matter? In any case i don't think he has it's further help towards a decent structured mix.

[djfranticc]

@SleepwalkerGM He has like 2,775 video's on his page. people can easily miss tutorials like this ;o

[WhatTehFux]

@SleepwalkerGM You can never have too much of a good thing.
