MINISTRY OF SOUND DJ ACADEMY DECEMBER 2009

[hulaana]

What's the last song please........?

[KdNiNjA83]

the monitor speaker sounds AWFUL ! or the camera.....?

[Adz1184]

Personally I can't understand why people would want to learn like this. 70% of DJing is learning to put your own touches on things, learning in a group like this just seems to take all that away.

I guess it's each to their own though.

[hercules1924]

@Adz1184 hey man,well i f@cking tottaly agree with you...and i get really angree when after lessons like that or because daddy bought someone a pair of decks and a mixer everyone is calling himself a dj now....NO there is a lot more so ou can call yourself a dj...i'm embarrased to say that i'm a dj nowdays....it is not something personal...i love ellaskins and his internet lessons....but i thing that this thingis a bit overrated....

[utrolig]

@Adz1184 To be fair these guys are just learning the basics :p Nothing wrong with learning them from people who knows how to do stuff. Creativity comes afterwards. :)

[STEVEFINNERTY]

h ha ha ha ha ... ... ... ...

[chiwixxx]

NAME THE FIRST SONG, PLEASE

[MrMarcoBen]

@chiwixxx sex on fire

[Joeydj4u]

Two things -

Gain Structure - learn it, Red is a no no..

Turn the freakin monitors down after you mix..

[rjebynight]

They look like noobies!

[snymic24]

Any one know what song he is playing with sex on fire?

[nalgasdelaempleada]

@snymic24 311.the fierce collective ft peyton-sex on fire (bassmonkeys club mix)

[Visk]

Anyone else notice that he's cueing up a record that isn't playing on the mixer?

At around 0:20, he's pressing the cue buttons on the mixer (in a seemingly random fashion), but the LEDs aren't showing any activity, which means there's no sound playing through the channel he's cueing . He's also messing with the EQ even though there's no sound.

Oh and the track at 04:00 is Dash Berlin - Man on the run (Original Vocal Mix)

[rex8000]

Yeah @Visk he asks asks "what's wrong with my CD player."

Novice. ^^;

[YTUBEOSHI3NYC33]

is that the CDJ-2000 he's using?

[richyqpr]

no 1000

[DJCHEWYY]

@YTUBEOSHI3NYC33 fuck noooo this guy is no where good enough to place his hands on them and obviously nor are u if u dont know what the 2000 are u shouldnt be a dj

[richyqpr]

is this in the loft at ministry or baby box?

[davelazy]

what a load of old bollox

[dynastyy89]

someone should be helping these guys out in the meantime cuz some of them clearly have no idea what they are doing... i donno about the rest of you guys but in my experience its rather hard to beatmatch without ever touching the pitch :P

[matthewm0311]

there isnt a sync on those?

[djazores]

very nice

[markkellr]

its just the kings of leon sex on fire remix

[djlegen1]

WHAT THE NAME OF THE SONG IN 0.28

[justRel]

0:28 kills it!

[mickle95]

hey i got abit of a question about connecting a mixer to my macbook just got traktor and ive got no idea how i can connect a mixer to my macbook :D which cables etc?

[djog10]

well if your mixer as a midi output you just need to get an external soundcard so u can use your mixer as a midi controller :)

[mickle95]

would i need to map my cdj's/mixer for traktor?

[MrAirRider]

not when you usw timecodes ;) mapping is only needed for midi control

[xxxxxavierc]

wow! sex on fire!.... nice my fav song

[ncursio]

id prefer to have seen some of the mixing going on.. not just the playing of the song

[DJSEvEN72]

Start producing your own trax or you'll never have a real chance.

Not many gives a rat ass anyway if you spin live or mixtapes (pre programmed sets)

Good try though, but i rather keep my money, buy used or cheaper gear and lots of music.

and work my way up.

Sure you can let a bunch or rich kids go at it in a club, but the real guys no matter what gear or media, well they earn it the old fashion way

So start climbing that ladder and produce music as well.

Cheers

[SteedsPrima]

Almost the entire dutch house scene perfers live mixxing... and i'm sure it's not just my scene.

[djog10]

top djs play other djs tracks but what makes them different is the mixin style, u can convert a really lame track in an awesome one by mixin it with another, skills and creativity but yeah if you want to become famous make your own beats and maybe.

[wexfordlad14]

exactly

[niteklup]

na ja, are this beginners? real bloody lousy beginners. guess they have alot alot alot to practice and hopefully enjoy. where are all the talented guys?

still waiting

[ashyashyashy]

this looks likke a good waste of time ^..^

[scafc2006]

it seems expensive, nobody showing them what to do, just letting them get on with it?? at one point, the guy was bringing in a track with all the Eqs past 12 o'clock :S

[ThePavin]

Yea... I noticed the eq mess too... i dont know if he was doing this on purpose, so i might be wrong to call it a mess.. clarity would be nice here J! The gear they are using seems expensive and live dj tutoring would im sure be quite expensive, sort of an apprenticeship

[appleidinesh]

Wow im very glad i didnt go here, i was about to go 4 months ago, but i met a friend at Uni who uses turn tables and in 3 weeks ive become really good!

[watson2078]

i mean schools of DJ's goes against what I think it's about. It's about getting your first pair of shitty belt driver turntables but getting so excited buying all the vinyl. It's about crate digging and discovering rare beats. Not about paying to play in an empty club...

[scafc2006]

@watson2078 i agree, those days are over though unfortunately, it's so easy to just listen to mp3 previews on websites than flicking through vinyl and playing them on decks in a record store

[watson2078]

yes but that in a way is just as good. I'm talking about the commercialization of Djing. It shouldn't be taught like guitar or drums!!!

[djog10]

nowadays is discovering rare mp3's hahahaha :)

[DJPecarlo]

r they learning ? cuz non of them seems to understand what they doing ?

[kixnet]

Yes, its a DJ Academy.

[muirden]

@DJPecarlo thinking the same thing.

[thefishdog]

all the gear no idea ha ha. they will get there one day , i have been doing it over 12 years and still learning new stuff everyday. started off as a hobby and now getting paid. love it

[adamcrew90]

how much lol?

[bakkenbears3]

blow, blow, blow, blow. there must have been some crazy bass in there

[infernoOkid]

must be awesome to play with such an audio installation :)

[GyMeng]

[Banacik]

Dash Berlin feat. Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Man On The Run

[wigheadrules03]
