http://www.djtutor.com/counting
Take your mix from a good mix to a pro mix.
in this tutorial we look at counting the bars /phrases in the toons.
By counting the b/ ph at the beginning and end of each toon can help you with the structure of your mix and take it to the next level.

20 use the "Auto Sync" on Virtual DJ

[ComatoseElf]

@tonicrocks26 Hey, I like that feature!! Then again I only took an interest in djing a few days ago, but I think if it mixes well and sounds good, it doesn't matter what the person uses to play or mix it. Like ellaskins said in another video...you can play it through a tin can, but if it sounds good, play it. ;)

@vratnakishore Thats awesome and exactly how I got my first couple gigs... through friends. It sounds like you have some cool buds who will give you a little instruction... just practice! I'm looking for a new house and have not been able to practice in weeks and it's killing me... :(

[whoissunsetter]

@zulu26 Saying DJing with software takes "no effort" is a gross miscalculation. Maybe some kid doing a shitty mix using sync doesn't take much effort... but even Pioneer CDJs have quantize functions that make beatmatching drastically easier.

Ultimately a buster is a buster, talent is talent, and it really doesn't matter WHAT you use... I have seen guys using Ableton who wowed and entertained me more than a crappy turntablist.

AWESOMEEEEEEEEE MAN .. YOU R THE BEST..

[zulu26]

@runekey i think he was making fun of people who use a sync button in general. i used computer programs before actual turntables/cdj's and mastering beatmatching with a slider actually take a bit of practice. if you use anything else, purist dj's will make fun of you as it took virtually no work to match them.

That is one of the best tutorials ever! Every sentence you said was just spot on and gave me all the facts! Are you a teacher?

[vratnakishore]

I continued it like that till the next DJ arrived at the club playing around 10-12 tracks.

and my friend came to me and said he will teach me in 2 weeks to play completely on my own with out looking for help from other DJ...

I provide my friend with music as he is a french one and I'm from India and we favor listening Indian music in the club..

He is a busy scheduled DJ and he can take rest while I learn as the club owners and manager are our friends, they let me play when the club is not full..

[vratnakishore]

as soon as I messed it up he gave me a serious look, I continued playing the second song, again I messed it up while changing between two songs (train wrecking this time) he came to me and said use the cue technique.

as all the people left in the club are my friends I had no problem from the dance floor,

I tried the cue technique for the next time and messed it a lot but not for too long.

4th time I played it a lot easier but beats are not matched
