In this video DJ Shiftee demonstrates one of the basic techniques of how to DJ: pushing and pulling. Pushing and pulling is when you touch the record to speed up or slow down the record and beat match it to another record that's playing. Shiftee breaks down the basics of this DJ technique and also offers some drills that you can practice at home to improve your skills.

[IamRegor]

which mixing system/turntables is he using?

[DubSpot]

@IamRegor he's using Traktor Scratch Pro and two Technics 1200s.

@djshiftee does dubspot or you have a place where one could come learn how to dj like the scratch academy in NYC?

[DubSpot]

@kwidg87 yes, check out dubspot.com, we have a location on 14th street and 9th avenue in Manhattan, NYC

slowing the platter is actually putting strain on the turn table motor, reducing longevity....lol if any one cares. i always slow the record instead of the platter :)

[DubSpot]

@beatjugglez thanks for the tip!

I want to be a DJ, and mostly want to do house, dubstep, and mix other types of techno, and even do mixes of "pop" (shit) music. I'm almost 16 and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what would be a good way to start.

[BboyPh8]

in my opinion scratch live and the sl 2 is a good beginner set up @712nickfilm for effects and capability i would go with native instruments traktor. if you looking for price i would go with serato

@LilShawty105 you can get those white things from ebay.com, they are control records. I got my white ones from ProAudioStar, and they are located in NY. Shipping is free. To use those white things correctly, you need the software that reads them, in this case, Traktor scratch(but assuming you have teh equipment to use them already (turntables & mixer + headphones).

[Top40MashUpz]

@712nickfilm if you just wanna learn, start with software first. Traktor pro or virtual dj. if you like traktor after using it with a mouse and keyboard, you can try to buy the audio 8/6/4 box and then add the cd tables (most EDM use) or turntables (like video) & a mixer (whether 4 channel or 2 channel) make sure you get avg quality tables (stanton clone of the technics) or 4 ch- mixer (numark) or 2 ch battle mixer (numark or vestax). I have both Serato SSL & Traktor Scratch Pro

@712nickfilm Traktor Kontrol S2 is $599. You might not want to go lower than that because the jog wheel resolution, button layout, and software options aren't always as nice when you go lower end. Same idea as buying a guitar - you should start with a nicer one because it feels good, sounds good, and you will get more enjoyment playing it. Easier to start out and really grow if you have nicer gear. Just my 2cents

[712nickfilm]

@mcsg27 Thats exactly what im looking for but is there an alternative? thats a little out of my price range.... 300-400 maybe?

[mcsg27]

@712nickfilm you could easily start with the Traktor Kontrol S4 to do most anything you could ever want with professional results. Traktor is also the software that Dubspot teaches in the school in NYC and Online if you want to learn how to DJ

[712nickfilm]

Im a complete beginner

No experience

What is a good software system and table set.... anything i need to get started fairly cheap i dont need top end please respond asap~
