Transition 3 was def my favorite. The slowdown of the loop going into the intro of "How We Do" was so freaking cool
😂
I read this comment before i reached 11:50 and was wondering why you liked it so much...stopped wondering at 11:58 😂 really nice stuff 👌
Looping is a Savior for sure. I just never thought about using it like this👌 awesome idea
That’s house beat is not the intro for how we do tho
As a super beginner Dj, transition #1 blew my mind and 2 and 3 just pumped me up and got me even more excited to learn to DJ. Love Crossfader videos; everything is explained extremely well and eases up the anxiety of learning how to do this. Thank you!🙏 💕 #WeAreCrossfader #WeAreCrossfader #WeAreCrossfader
You and me both!
I would like to have one but I don't have the money to complete it, can help me please
I use all three, but even though my favorite is the third one, I use the echo out more than any other technique. It's quick; it's easy and it gets the job done.
Transition 3 is my favourite as it's the most natural for the listener and requires a bit more skill from the dj haha
Wheres a video of you djing
@SShaw6174 "Later on if you make mistakes people are more forgiving." - "You're welcome, sincerely Alcohol"
wish I had tutorials like this in the 90s when I started djing.
🤣🤣🤣
me too
We did... they were called "raves"
Or echo out
I watched about 20+ videos from a lot of channels for my beginner djing found it difficult. But this guy make it really simple to understand and repeat. Bravo man. Thank you so much.
i just got a ddj-400 and started practising everyday since this weekend. i used number 3 without knowing this is a thing done by dj's :0
The first one seems like stopping and starting, there’s nothing then a huge difference in tempi out of nowhere, feels strange to my ears.
I think you were late on all of them and screwed with the phrasing too much. I wouldn't have 4 counted a break on the 1st and just dropped it flush, on the second I would have set the echo effect to actually echo at the bpm of the incoming track and mix into the echo, then dropped the third transition in 8 beats earlier.
@@hoi5162 Right, I mean, why even try to advance yourself at all. If you read my comment and thought about it I think you will find it was quite constructive. You should give what I said a try and see if you think it sounds better before chiming in with your wonderfully toxic advice.
@@hoi5162 Whatever floats your boat champ. Have fun out there.
If you ask me your toxic
But no one is -.-
Not you him haaa
Never knew about the tempo adjust on my RX....I always knew there had to be an easier way to adjust tempo down to a decimal point. Thank you!
All 3 are good, but my favourite is the second one.
Keep like that, I have the Channel as one of my favourites.👏👏👏
I hope to be Lucky by the first time in my life.😉
Cheers from Spain.✋
I like all 3 transitions but # I've been trying but not master it as yet. I also would like to see you do some transitions with dancehall and soca genres.
#WeAreCrossfader The echo out (#2) is my get-out-of-jail card, but if I can find a way, it's much better to get creative and use tone play, word plays, or at least sync them up like in #3.
Mixing tech 3 is my favorite. Seem to be more intricate but engaging the crowd.
#wearecrossfader
I enjoyed the the 3rd one the best I’ve just started the Rekordbox beginner course so once I’m comfortable mixing I’ll be trying these transitions for sure!
#wearecrossfader #1 transition is useful for quick cuts or mix from cue points #2 is good for open format djs as it utilizes echo location and fade away #3 is my preferred transition that is evenly balanced with tempo range control and 4 beat loops but a bit more complex to learn. Great tutorial and very insightful about bpm, tempo ranges, fader control, counting bars and transitions. 💯
I typically use 1 & 3
#wearecrossfader ..transition 3 is sooo good. im gonna use like crazy holy..i can totaly imagine a crowd going "WoW" when the melody slows and repeats
@Ryan Toth lol jokes on you ... I did at the club recently last Saturdayand some girl sucked my dick that night!! Lol jk..nah..but someone gave me a tip
@@christ2664 well as a Dj you feel more confident about your skills if you did that but in reality, he's right, the crowd doesn't care. So yea it could be a personal learning experience that you can apply in your future sets to improve yourself as a DJ and you should care less what other people think of you cause they have no idea what are you trying to do.
#WeAreCrossfader
I’m going to have to go with 2 for it’s simplicity and it’s ability for a beginner DJ to switch genres easily (with some practice of course). I think learning the third transition is the most beneficial because it teaches so many skills at once i.e. tempo adjust, looping, and just learning your music. Thanks for using different controllers in this tutorial as well #WeAreCrossfader
Great video, thanks for the clear demonstrations. I just started learning DJing a couple days ago and I'm having a blast learning/practicing transition 2. Looking forward to trying out transition 3 once I get the hang of number 2.
All these DJ tutorials have English accents. Why?
The first one was very useful for me. I didn't realise you had to pull the faders down for the echo to activate on these controllers. Definitely useful to know when I get my DDJ-1000! Thanks Crossfader!
Very nice 👌 👍
I really like this video of course the best is 3rd tech also the 2nd nice the first should be natural for every dj
For sure subscribe where can i find more techniques?
Thanks for sharing
That last transition gave me goosebumps
#WeAreCrossfader . Love your clarity & explanation Jamie - Transition 3 is preferred choice...... & the one I'm now working on that's slowly coming to fruition . Thank you for your expert guidance and highly professional tuition !
#WeAreCrossfader 1: Transition 1 is my favourite as it is so simple yet so effective. The other two transitions are really good too.
Definitely Number 3 is my favorite. Just know your song mixing points real good. Plus make sure your mixing songs with Compatible Keys that go well together. Then you mix will be dead on with the other techniques shown in this video. Most importantly, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. That way you can rock the crowd without using headphones.
wish I had this video 7 years ago... just learned on my own
#WeAreCrossfader
My favourite was # 2 in terms of real-world use, and repeatability. # 3 is the most impressive but I wouldn’t want to do it more than once in a set. Great video, thanks!
Always quality tutorials & mixes from crossfader 🔥🔥
I didn't like transition 1 because of needing to use a break in the music to go to the next song. I liked transition 2 a lot because I think the echo transition is a lot easier to use. Transition 3 was the coolest, but it would definitely take me some practice to get the loop, tempo, and song synced perfectly. I think the two songs you chose for that one would be a bit difficult for me because of the off-beat start of song 2. It had to be started on the 4 which would be kind of a weird count.
#WeAreCrosfader
Transition 1 is crucial for open format DJs!
Ghedion92 I agree, it kinda reminds me of when I had my first set of belt drives and a huge miss Mach of records, this was basically the only way I could do any mixing without it sounding like pots and pans
#wearecrossfader I like the transition number 2. It’s quick and easy 😉
Third was my favourite
#WeAreCrossfader
Number 2 and 3. Tho using 1 and 2 properly makes a smooth transition between tracks. Hopefully I'll get to master and combine these techniques in a near future since I'm a rookie for now. Great vids btw.
Cheers.
#WeAreCrossfader So I have two favorites, transition 1 & transition #3. I actually took your beginner's course a couple of weeks ago and I have been using transition 3 quite a lot and it's my absolute favorite! I can create some amazing mixes to any genre 💕💕
Thanks alot Jamie - I have been practicing tip 3 and its just AMAZING - definitely a new GREAT skill! Cheers
Really like transition #2, definitely going to try that one in one of my mixes 😊 thanks for sharing this tip 🙏
#WeAreCrossfader transition 3 is my favourite for the skill and smoothness. Though transition 2 is a lifesaver when needing to mix out quickly
#3 is the best. 1,2 sounds like you have your iphone plugged in at a party and ur just switching the track, doesn’t sound natural
danaoshana was saying the same lol like playlist on Spotify even tho the first two techniques were in a good controller and the last one was in a toy one 😂🥴
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 1 was my favourite because it is so simple and I’m an amateur so this would suit me the best. Transition 3 is so good though so hopefully I can get to this level at some point!
Learned transition 3 today! Thankyou the tutorial
#WeAreCrossfader 2. But honestly as someone who listens to and plays all kinds of genres all of these are great to know. Thank you!
#WeAreCrossfader
Transition 3
This also works well the other way around, slow to fast. Also looping the intro beat on the incoming track and using sync to speed up/slow down while crossing the EQs over and releasing the loop to finish works well too. Great videos and ideas guys, thank you for what you do.
Dont touch sync.
@@kwesiquick6894 why not? It's a tool available so why not use it for some transitions?
Transition 2 works well for me 😊
app at 13:21 *ON THE PHONE
#WeAreCrossfader
My favorite transition is #3, it's such a good technique to use at the club. It sounds like you really know what you're doing.
#WeAreCrossfader my favorite transition is the 3rd one, u make some space for the next song and then u mix them 😍👌🏻
#WeAreCrossfader 2:
I also like transition 3, but Sometimes ist's hard to get the exact speed and it also don't work for all titles, 2 is easier and more universal.
Great Tutorial by the way
Great Tips! Thank You. I did enjoy all three, however, I appreciated the third transition best of all. Obviously it was/is the most difficult transition to master. But I can't be a great DJ if I just do the easy stuff!
Me : Clicked on video.
Video : Shows a dating advertisement.
Me : Though it was the video and watched it till the end😂
The 3 was prefect 👊👊👊
#WeAreCrossfader I definitely think the third transition has the most potential! If you nail it so to say. Otherwise, everything will just sound crazy. That's the advantage of the first two mixes. Since they're both based on just playing one song at the time, you can't essentially make it sound out of sync even if it is. With the third mix, you can. But as a said if you nail it almost sounds like a mashup :D
What version of "How we do" is this? The intro is obviously different in the original version. Please help!
Nicholas Chicarielli up
Did you find it?
That last technique was 🔥 Appreciate the tutorial my man
#WeAreCrossfader
The 2nd transition is my favorite.
#WeAreCrossfader
I personally liked the 3rd transition with the looping the best.
My favourite transition is mix 3. As the track playing slows down gets the crowd wondering, "whats he gonna play now?". Dope mix. Big shout-out to all the 'Crossfader' massive!
#wearecrossfader
Definitely a huge fan of the 2nd technique, it just flows well.
I'd like to see you mix some break beat into dnb or italo disco to some techno shit. This EDM mixing is like playing tetris on level 1.
#WeAreCrossfader I like transition number 3 the most, althoug I will probably use transition 2 more because it is a bit easier. But transition 3 is my favourite, because its so smooth.
#wearecrossfader: 3
I really like number 3 cause the transition makes the song hit. Have to try this now.
He also picked the cheapest smallest fader to do it on lol
#WeAreCrossfader Honestly, a tie between 2 & 3, but I'm going to go with #3. If you get it right, it's a great feeling!
Man I remember going every friday night at a club in Austin Texas to watch a DJ spin on technics 1200s trying to watch and learn.. 26 years later y’all got it in ten minutes on RUclips lol
#WeAreCrossfader
I liked all the transitions, but transition 3 was my favorite. Not too simple, but not too complex either. You could take the energy up or down from that loop depending on how the bpm changes and what you mix into. It has many ways it can be utilized.
all these transitions kill all the momentum and energy
That transition into Skrillex - The Reason was actually a giga chad move.
also i think that songs with a long white noise sweep in the breakdown work best for that first transition technique, but its very hard to find songs with these type of breakdowns in them.
[comment so you get a higher chance of getting in related videos]
#WeAreCroasfader I love using number 3. I often pick a good vocal loop or just a beat loop. Echo out is a great all purpose quick mix too! Thanks for the great video.
The third worked perfecto
#WeAreCrossfader Transition nr.3 👌I liked. But the "nr. 1" also is simple and works very nice some times.
#WeAreCrossfader #3. I prefer to be more active during my dj sets and challenge myself. #1 & 2 are fine but can be a little more wedding dj like style. I play much more techno/tech house so beat matching is essential and therefore transition #3 is something I'm going to use more. thanks for the videos!!
3
Watching channels with 300,000+ subs give terrible DJing tips really gives me confidence before playing anywhere knowing how low people's expectations are 😂😂😂
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 3 is most definitely my favourite.
Great videos , I learnt to mix 25 years ago
on technics 1210’s With vinyl and the djm 600. With was club and rave party
Standard , then came along the eventual
cdj1000’s. Mk3s and djm
800 , Efx500, ( club standard )then swapped it for Rmx1000, Was still burning cds I untill jan2021, Joust got the new pioneer xdj-rx3 I be leant a lot from
Your videos with this ‘new tech’ , But I don’t think u should be telling beginners to auto sync or quantise the beat , learn to
Beat match by ear , 3 months and u will get it max
#WeAreCrossfader I've always been a big fan of number 2. Although I think I'm gonna try to master that number 3 as well, makes the new song pop rly well. Very great vids!
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 3 is most applicable to me, as i’m a Multi Genre DJ. I tend to switch BPM’s a lot !
Thank You
#WeAreCrossfader I really like Transition Number 3. Thanks again for your tutorial. Good Luck!!!
*I think it'd be a great encouragement and incentive* for new up and coming DJ's to build on their skills, if you held "tutorial competitions". DJ's will basically upload a video mix of them putting into practice a certain technique you've discussed. Then viewers get to vote on who did the best. The winner get's a prize. Ain't nothing like a friendly competition that will sharpen skills and overall positively add to the DJ community. 👊😎
Wow all this power to mix and such simple mixing. Back in the day of the 1210s you knew four beats and 8 bars before the music changed.you had to know you’re tunes by ear to find a mix and throw that beat in and chance it. Or slow it down. But the mixing was way more harder todo. If I had this kit I could smash it!!! And that’s why I’m here!!! I’m looking at what to buy. I’m locked Down and bored stiff
Hey guys one questions what’s the main difference between the ddj sb3 and ddj 400. Which one could you recommend? Thanks a lot.
It’s funny because I’ve been djing for 20 years playing house music at underground parties clubs etc. and now I’m starting to do private events birthday parties possibly weddings etc. it’s a completely new thing mixing regular music, I thought I just walk right in and have Addit but you have to practice a little bit. Lol. Fk. Thanks for the video , helped me out a lot
I am a complete beguinner but ... i play in parties, wedding and so on. The music i play it's very very POP ... even disco 70, pop from the 80s and 90s and even the top radio songs of the moment ... drops and breaks are really rare and also sections good for looping. There's always a voice singing. Unless i loop for just two beats.
How to do it in those case?
When i want to play a song just for the famous chorus and then skip over ?
Thank you very much! Really! 👊🏻🙌🏻I prefer smooth transitions so the first one
lol i'm just a fan of rock and skrillex in general
i've came across a lot of tutorials that use boring music as example
but now i'm just surprised that this guy used Otherside by RHCP and The reason by skrillex lmao
great tutorial man
Hello, i'm training on Virtual DJ and when I kill the upfader It kills the echo effect together, and I don't have this echoing effect that you had =(... What I did wrong?
#WeAreCrossfader
Transition 3 is probably the most fun and most useful transition. I’m actually teaching a friend how to DJ and he really enjoys looping.
Can u tell that why r u not using hercules dj controller?. Plz make a video that why .
Im using hercules for my proffession
Not all song sound well together, they need to be in the same Key zone could add this also to the tutorial. BPM is not all that needs to be aligned. Using ECO effect sounds good only if 2 songs are in close harmonic range (like Camelot System or Traktor own Key mixing Wheel) .
With Ecstatic Dance, we work with all styles and tempos, and I would like to know how to do these transitions in key. In other words, make them sounds good.
Sync, Smart Fader and Tempo adjust mess up the key of the song, so those won't work so well in key. Who can help me out?
Transition 1 is to me the best for the beginner and/or someone who doesn't have a dj controller yet and just wants to transition between 2 tracks. Transition 2 is more intermediate, but is great for someone who is learning how to use a dj controller to mix two genres of music together. Transition 3 is definitely more advanced, but can be amazing when you want to mix two extreme tempo changes or genres of music together. I would say this: learn all three transitions and learn which one(s) work best for the tracks you are playing and how the crowd reactions to each transition. Finally, practise makes perfect..
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 3 actually Is my favourite, very good video and sick selection of tracks! ❤️😍
#WeAreCrossfader Transition 3 - Going to try practicing this one tonight! Can I please have the XDJ Advanced Course as I am nearly complete on the beginner course?
#WeAreCrossfader 2: as a beginner DJ mixing in phrase has helped improve my mixing quality and I love this idea, sounds seamless but also very creative.
Although it sounds ok but in my opinion it kind of kills the momentum and the vibe, I rather play 2-3 songs to do the transition and keep the vibe going then killing it, or just simply use a DJ effect or transitions songs which does the same thing but without killing the vibe and you can go up or down or different genres or bpms!!!!
thank you so much for this video. just starting out but this makes it so much more approachable. ready to work on my ddj-200
Can you put together big compilations of different types of transitions? Like just clip the transition out of dozens of dj sets to show many examples of each type of transition?
