  • well put.

  • how do they know which line on the record to put the thingy on?

  • "everys song in thw world really, breaks down into 8 counts."

    lol - what a dumb shit. Great example of why DJs are just people too stupid to play an instrument.

  • @mfcallaha What's your problem, DJ's are amazing people who make more money in one day than your family as a whole can make in a year fag

  • @generationchanger5 Fuck off

  • @mfcallaha after all that all your tiny brain can muster is a fuck off? Not only is that pathetic but bad language will not be geared twords me. Let alone the fact that I was defending the DJ who you took time out of your lowlife day to watch his video. Haters don't get anywhere in life. If you don't like it then that just makes you even more of a fag because your idiotic self decided to keep watching, your wasting my time. And I quote "Fuck off"

  • @generationchanger5  "Your" and "you're." Lean them. Use them correctly.

  • azn > annoying guy with accent giving tips

  • Sweet man!

  • Thanks Dude!

    

  • what program is he using to mix the songs ?

  • Being a dj is just changing tones, tenors, and ''playing with the sample''. It's not for producing music. If you want to make these electronic sounds like in More or any new music, Then go buy a keyboard. Or 4

  • Loved the scratching at the end man! Very nice!

  • that sounds so fuckin sick yo the mix between swed and whatever the other one was fuckin dope

  • nope.avi

  • wats the song in 2:19??

  • @MrDeefie you failded to write mr defie

  • Whats the name of this turntable im thinking on geting it

  • Hello everyone who read this

    I know that it's just a few people but that's okay for me

    the people who watch this video know something about dj'ing and music

    2weeks ago I made a song but I'm just a beginner and not good

    I want to ask some people to give me feedback and say what I did good and what I did wrong

    so maybe the next song can be better

    if you want to do that for me really thank you

    I like that a lot!

    Have a nice day everyone

  • whats the name of the second song he played?

    

  • /watch?v=mBElcI4c6i4  CHECK MY OUT PLZZZ

  • good

  • @Nick 1281 Djing at clubs full of hundreds of people, packing dance floors with beautiful women, getting free drinks all night, never having to wait in lines, and getting paid good money to do it - is very cool! It takes skill, music knowledge and experience to Dj well. It only takes an uninformed opinion to be a hater.

  • /watch?v=zFFkzhLqpqs(Please comment,Rate And Subscribe,By The Way I Am 13 Years Old And I Am New On DJ:ing:)

  • this video really helped thanks for posting :)

  • @Nickg1281 okay what???

  • @Nickg1281 please elaborate

    

  • lol every song is in 8 beats?... fail

  • what song is that at the end? sounds familiar aha

  • @samueltennis Common - Go!

  • Title of the song he's mixing to is "Made you look" - Nas.

  • DJ Magic Wong is obviously not a real dj if he is sitting down...

  • That was fucking meaaannnnnn!

  • Great explanation! Thanks.

  • thanks for the tip Magic Wong! Just got me an SL3. I won't tick people off at the clubs

  • all i typed in was "DJ"

  • @AdamMatis same

  • @AdamMatis Same here XD

  • @AdamMatis same lmfao

  • @AdamMatis me too .___.

  • Dr.Dre Ft Snoop Dogg-----The Next Episode!!!

  • exactly i hate djs who dont know shit. cant beat match. BEAT MATCHING IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT :3

  • so im using the 8 count but not all the songs use the 8 count and i know i need to use the tempo im a beginner DJ... so what does the laptop have to do with beat matching ...can anyone help ?

  • @prinzeV it doesnt do shit. he hooked the turntables to the software so he cant load the songs to the turntables. thats why he needs the laptop1 and i guess scratch live theres things in there that i think might help idk i use cdjs.. but ya

  • @prinzeV for me the computer just makes loading songs easy, less record crates, sometimes its a four count and dont forget about the tempo,practice,practice!

  • That is not Beatmatching.. Because your Laptop is doing all the Work you wanna be.. Why wouldn't you show these kids how to match the tempo and get both tracks at the same speed..

  • I usually count it more like 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, in standard sets of four beats. A bit more manageable usually. Just saying.

  • what's the name of the song he mixes into?? (when he's counting)

  • @poswimol Dr. Dre FT Snoop Dogg The next episode

  • @inferno46n2 thanks, i've been looking for that song

  • your a good dj

    

  • cool

  • what about cd turn tables, cos am from EU and as everyone knows where massive on eletronic music

  • Wouldn't matching the BPM be harder than matching beat counts? 

  • anyone else notice how he didn't drop his track at the right spot? or how he prematched the beats before making this video? or that his scratching is fucking wack? maybe i'm just jaded, but the standard for DJs has dropped a lot in the past 5 years or so.

  • Ya...it's so easy. Everybody DJ. Me DJ, you DJ, we all DJ. So easy.

    Said Jackie...Chan.

    (Don't hate, I'm asian too.)

  • A bit of Common at the end there? Fantastic!

  • It did not take me not long to become a DJ

  • thumbs up for Apple logo behind him

  • THE SONG IS CALLED THE NEXT EPISODE BY DR. DRE FT. SNOOP DOGG

  • what is this song again?? i forgot

  • why does everybody says its your boy its your boy

  • @djreki1 You probably don't understand gangster.

  • @iSpeakKonglish ooo your a gangster way 2 funny

  • I am not a DJ, but this video is cool.

  • Thanks! I am thinking about getting into the music business.... And I thought DJing would be good for me since I know one... but I also really want to be an artist... so idk... It;s really bad because my whole life till this point, I have wanted to be a Zoologist!xD

  • Hey I was wondering what kind of turntables are the best kind to get

  • @THELASTPJ1 technics 1210 mk 2

  • advice!! can someone tell me what lead i need to buy to connect my laptop to my amplifier for my turn tables?? and also what software i need> i just wanna make some mix cds> ive been out the game for a while...
