Jonathan, I recently bought my first DJ kit and I've been using your videos to try and learn the basics of mixing and the likes. I very much appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos, and they are entertaining as well as educational - I can learn with a big fat grin on my face because of the energy that you display. Many thanks!

you forgot to say practice and enjoy :(

You can't do this with every track you mix, because the gain levels are all different on every track
-
What are you actually doing with your headphones? Do you play mix the second song with the first one (playing out loud), and just bring in the second song?

Personally, I like to use the cue with my headphones, I have a Numark DXM06 so I can monitor whichever channel I want to, and if I do both, I can beatmatch by ear that way. This is a great tutorial, I just find it a little complicated to do this, haha

do you have to pee?

I usually just use my headphones on completely. Whats wrong with just using headphones, instead of using 1 side and the monitors.
using both headphones seems more accurate to me

what i have to do if am playing in a club?

Look Jonathan, since I practiced djing as a hobby, i've always used both headphones on both ears and listening to both records when beatmatching. so i have a little crossfader for the headphones and when I beatmatch i set it in the middle. I find it better too for matching the gainvolume. Please tell me what you think. cheers

As an audio engineer and sound system designer for some of the worlds top performers for the past 28 years, I believe I can give a qualified opinion on this tutorial. This guy is dead on. Truly excellent. Every DJ should subscribe. I know I will, because frankly it's refreshing to hear true knowledge.
Thanks

I think what your trying to say is keep your monitor and headphone levels as quiet as you can get away with.
Doing this helps a lot :)

O yes!! at the end of the day , you don't need the sound blasting, if anything by having it too loud is not helping at all.
