i'm mixing since 1996 when there wasn´t the internet yet, this is the first time i've found a short but realy usefull tutorial.
Respect.
What music genres are you into ?
Okay boomer
@@energeticpencil2645 Respect, nublet.
if you mix for so long i doubt that you dont do all of what he did anyway with ease??
Yep! Usually just exit the track before the baselines kick in
i don’t mind at all if you start the video promoting yourself, you’re the one who’s nice enough to show us all this info for free the least people can do is show you some respect in that regard
Agreed
Youre so right.
please keep these mixing tutorials coming. The ones that are up on youtube are too niche or too vague imo. This one is way more straight forward and informative.
You said so little, but explained so much, and you literally did 3 mins of talking and than demonstration on everything you said. Simply perfect tutorial !
6.40 for the actual mixing demo

Thanks it's sort of BS that it took 6:40 to get the ball rolling.......
i know wtffff
Youve helped so many ppl
Hey Arman, just wanted to tell you that i really appreciate both the content and the way you are visualising/providing all of the informaion. I learned a lot initially from dj ellaskins, which is great in terms of mind visualisation for begginer djs, to grasp the context and why's. He's always taking years in getting to the point tho, using multiple examples and comparisons. Entertaining, but for one that is trying to visualise an image it's like describing a singular line of shape, without mentioning the perspective. You provide precise and crucial information that fills the gap i have from his tutorials tho, with logcal precise descriptions which make me understand things thoroughly, possibly cause of having very analytical mind. Your video on 5 dj habbits that I've watched years ago, gave me soooooooo much support, information and confidence later on that i cannot highlight enough. What I'm trying to say is that you have opened my eyes multiple times with your tutorials! You are creating a great content for the community and you seem like a really humble person. Biggest ups mate!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to write such a detailed message. Having viewers that appreciate the lessons and the work that goes into the videos, who are actually learning from them make it all worth it!
FINALLY an EQ video that's in depth, thank you, I've been searching for something like this for months.
I actually like the hard hi-hat...it gave the Mix kick...
yo Ive been learning for a month, ive watched sooooo many videos about transitioning and it just never seemed to be a buttery smooth transition, they seemed too fast. this video taking it slowly to transition is it! thanks for the clear and slow instructions so easy to follow!
I'm a beginner with no experience and I don't know any DJ's so this a great help. Thanks.
@Blank Facee rule number 1 the basic of the basics start with beatmatching
@Blank Facee also if u dunno how to Beautmatch or bring in a. Transition I learned it personally counting the beats until 8 count to 8 4 times and after the first time counting 4 times press play after that keep counting and finally bring ur transition in but if ur on controller it’s easier in my opinion
Progressive tunes are practically impossible to mess up imo. You have so much time on your hands to just blend the frequencies nicely
When i am mixing in the second track 99% best way for me is the mids and highs at 10 o clock moving the volume fader to max. When a small break comes, mix the bass from first track to the second one. You will keep the Melody going and bass 👍
I thought the first mix sounded very smooth as well honestly - probably because these are two tracks that go together really well!
Arman, this might be one of the simpler (but at the same time best) DJing videos on RUclips. Great explanation and demonstration, keep up with the good work!
It’s funny that I watched the whole video and in the end you mention Barbados where I am and gonna have my first gig.
That last transition was nothing short of perfect! Thank's dude, you really gave me the motivation I need right now!
When you slapped the volume fader all the way to the top without bass and mid, that high hat was perfectly fine. in fact that was pretty good tho, because the mix didn't lose intensity. Nicely done
Nice to see someone else likes to throw the up faders open and balance things out with the Eqs. Ive been doing it this way as long as I can remember because it just felt natural and sounded better in my opinion. There are some scenarios where a slow up fade is preferable but I use this method across most genres and rarely see other DJs do this.
Finally a real dj with real advices! Well done!
Incredible work, finding DJs with a raw understanding of mixing is so rare these days. So glad I came across your channel. Phenominal
Thanks 🙃 , after a year your video still helping people
Been doing this when I mix soulful and deep house.. didn’t know it was EQ mixing, it just felt natural. This vid helped me fix my technique a little though
although it does sound smooth :) just depends on the tracks your mixing and the energy you want
Thank you so much. Everyone's making the same video's on how to beat match. Ok I get that but these are the arts I want to learn!!!
this was a really helpful video. I changed my whole DJing style after this no joke
Love your tutorials. I've been DJing since the 90's but i'm always open to learning. I use EQ mixing as play Trance/Hard House here in the UK but also play Progressive Breakbeat so EQ mixing is perfect for this genre as tend to play long transitions. I think a lot of new dj's need to realise they are not just djing but sound engineering at a basic level when in the booth :)
That's a good point and good perspective of how to view the process!
I play hard house aswel mate deffo be interesting to use these tips when mixing some harder tracks
Hey mate also in the UK here can't get my head around how to mix breakbeat and some of the rave tunes of the 90's like 'Feel Real Good' or Isotonik etc I just can't get it to sound clean. Have you any tips I play on 2 pioneer cdj800's and a Stanton Turntable
Awesome tutorial. I got my first DJ controller a while back and this helps a ton. Thanks man!
The most useful tutorial about to mixing I've seen so far!!👌👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks you so much!!
Thank you Arman for your videos... As a beginner, I am learning so much. Cheers from Morocco 🇲🇦 🤙
My pleasure, keep it up! Greetings from Canada.
what a wholesome dude, keep it up brother!
Finally, some equalizer tut with good music... this was a smooth transitions... he put's them all at 12oclock, but sometimes this does give no depth to the sound in the speakers? Should we control that somewhere else?
I've been off the stage for a while and I had lost my touch. my flow on the eq was too acute. Now I see what is out of line.
Good, solid , basic to the point video. Much appreciated.
thank you . been doing this allday .mixing sounds better now that I understand this
I see you nudge the the incoming track forward and continue to do so even when its almost all open and you bringing the outgoing track down, the problem with that is that you can sometimes hear how you bend the pitch of the incoming track especially when all the frequency faders are all open...you should actually be nudging the deck outgoing deck back...or what Im actually trying to say is its better mixing by nudging back and forth the deck that has the least volume.
Bernard Steyn yup. Much more noticeable on vinyl mixing aswell. Can get away with it on cdjs but def on vinyl you need to be slowing or speeding up the outgoing track whdn its volume is lower and being mixed out
Why does he do these nudges? I can't hear changes in beatmatching :o
@@emberdrops3892 cause it's slightly out of sync and he hasn't moved the pitch a tiny bit to fix it,also he cuing both tracks in headphones at same time to beat match.
First person I've seen, who is watching the metering on a pioneer mixer - you should do a tutorial for all the "pro"-djs...
So usefull for beginers like me, thnk you so much!
Thanks for this video, I learned a lot from it! I just started DJing and I never touched the middle EQ knob before I watched your video. Now I'm doing it the way you showed in this video and my mixes sound way better. I blew my girlfriend away!
If I may suggest a topic for a new video, I've been wondering why I would ever want to use 4 decks instead of 2. I never use the other 2 channels that I have available to me, so it would be interesting if you showed me some tricks that work with 4 decks that you can't do with only 2.
Most guys have never used a knob ISO mixer. Like a Rane, Urie or Bozak mixer to name a few. With those you have the option to say lower reduce the bass of the lead song playing to slowly build up the intro to the second song. Sometimes using the acapella over the new bass line for the new song transitioning in. Just one basic example. Most of us use the crossfader mixer. Try what is called Hamster mixing. Leaving the crossfader centered and using the line volume vertical slides to mix with. Most crossfader models will allow you to play with the EQ knobs to blend fade manipulate your transition. If not. You had to find a song with the same type of bass line to work the mix. Its just one of many ways to work the song mix. I've been spinning Mobile,club,Bars etc since I got hooked in 1978 at the age of 16. I've been fortunate to be allowed to observe, listen, learn and use club equipment with the guidance of some of Ny's and NJ then notable Dj''s. I've since became a full time family man. Now that I'm retired it's become one of my relaxing hobbies. I still enjoy the pleasure it gives me.After all these years I can't shake the pleasure and rush I still get from spinning. Plus it brings back all the good memories of real funny parting. When people came sharply dressed in style, had manners and respect for eachother. Thanks for the video. keep sharing. Peace!
Nice tutorial, will give this technique a try for sure.
Just a bit of feed back and in no way am I trying to be negative in what I say. Get straight into the topic of the tutorial. The dates and events your are doing won't be relevant in a year's time, save this stuff until after you've shown the people your moves. Other than that good content mate
I'm guessing maybe this is also distributed as a podcast type thing, so perhaps like you say if the video clip is kept to just the topic of the tutorial and then an extra 'intro' or 'outro' bit is added to the distributed podcast for the current info? But yeah, good tutorial!
We're all with ya on that one mate
can't we replace those mid and base eq by bringing them down with just opening up filter?
it means like the same cutting mid and base eq's
Sound arman that 2nd mix is definitely the best of the too mixes just sounded more together in the mix
Very helpful, for smooth mixing, thanks for your offering. :)
A little hard to do with other genres as most Of the time you only have 8 bars to do the mix.
8 bars to mix out? Rethink your technique.
l00P
Do it faster
???
You'll have to use other techniques for other genres.
Thank you so much! Very easy to follow. I've only been at it for a few months now and recently learned about EQ mixing. My first larger gig is tomorrow, so it will definitely come in handy!
Thank you for good lesson! Bombastic T-shirt!!! I would buy one if I can :) Good luck!
Such a specific video and 240k views, there’s that many DJs in the world still at the learning stage 😂 so many
The EQ mix was so smooth!
Could you do a tutorial on Mixing in a more particular way, for the bassline?
My Problem now is that I don’t quite get to manage the Transition of the Bassline very well. I know it‘s also a lot about timing which is probably my nemesis in Mixing.
Just would like to see maybe a few ideas on how to work on the low EQ, or maybe some examples of basslines that are simply a no go to mix, of there are any? Still not sure if it is only my level that makes me fail in Mixing some tracks that would work out together very well for the key and Energy Level, but sound all muddy when trying to bring in the new bassline in the Transition.
I really like your videos btw. You teach DJing in a nice way, modest and easy to understand. Keep on going, very inspiring. :)
Rose B this is covered in the video on mixing in key. Basically if the bass lines are in the same or a related key, it’s way easier to make the transition smooth.
Thank you for your help it's very professional video✌️
Thanks, needed that. And absolutely LOVE the first track will definetly get it one day.
Helpful video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I had never thought about bringing in the entire track using only the eqs.
I would have kept loop of track A going with only treble for about 16 beats maybe even the entire mix - but definitely until the next big drop of track B. Great example tho! Wish youtube and Dj's like you were around when I was djing using Gemini loop boxes that were 16 bit so there was a definite sound quality drop. Bu hey I'm old!
Thanks for the video! Clearly explained, and well demonstrated.
I like to abruptly swap the lows as a new section hits and mix in the mids. Makes for a cool pattern interrupt without throwing of the groove.
Same...let the phrase changes in the tune guide you on where to make more solid, distinct changes...all these micro/pedantic tiny adjustments is such overkill
Hi, thanks for all your instructional vids, they are a most welcome informative insight for us newbies, My question is how many bars would you normally use for a transition?
2:35 The DJ version of "These go to 11...."
Thanks for the video and the songs. Really loved those progressive houses!
Excellent advice explained very smartly and very simply..well done mate
Great demo! I’ve been DJing for 12 years. More of a hobby then career for me. I enjoy and play the same styles music you spin. Lately I’m enjoying the Afro House. Goes well with old Chicago Disco House. Im enjoying your content. I’m new to the channel. Just discovered you the other day. Keep up the great work brother! Looking forward to checking out your Soundcloud mixes! All the best!
awesome, thanks for the video. Also I like the 2 tracks, now I've discovered 2 more DJ that I'll dig into. Cheers
I am confused with the A B crossfader below. Did you disable this because it is set all the way at A the entire time you are mixing in B. Should this not be in the middle or can you disable?
The little side way switches under each fader are to "assign" the channel to the cross fader...A for left, B for right or "THRU" means the cross fader does nothing. A lot of house/deep style DJs practically never use the cross fader so assign it to THRU so it's turned off :)
Sir, that video was so helpful. Very easy to understand. thank you. Question : where do you find your music? I'm starting out and really want to build my repertoire. Thanks again
Beatport
Hey man. Good video. Really helped me mix better. Good job man. I think I actually saw you at Sunnyside Pavillion this summer. Haha
Awesome tutorial but quick question if you have to mix genre like soca how to mix them
Awesome advice for a beginner DJ like myself, thank you :-D
I've watched a few of your videos but I just realized your birthday is a day before mine... I'll sub for that lol
This is great..thank you from Italy :)
I've always preferred mixing this way.
Like your videos man. I’m also (home) DJ from Toronto but I have fear of performing. What would you suggest in this situation? All my friends are techno nerds and criticizing my mixes all the time and I know it’s “good” but when I start playing with at least a bit of audience I’m making mistakes. But if I’m all alone like nobody watching I’m doing crazy good transitions that turn to be completely different tracks that sound insane!
I hear you! I will do a video on how to prepare for your first live gig soon. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback.
This might be long winded but here goes (and I'm assuming you mix in key with the Camelot wheel). Plan your set, certainly say your first 30 mins. Keep it simple, by that I mean play tracks that work well together (in key) and do smooth transitions as Arman has shown in this video. If you do this for your first 2 or 3 tracks it will build confidence in you AND your crowd. Then I would probably say go for a bigger key change, such as playing a track in a major key or jumping two keys on the Camelot wheel to give you set/flow an energy boost. Once you've got the confidence you'll start enjoying it and the more complex mixing techniques you talk about will be much easier to execute in front of a crowd! Hope that helps, keep it up and be confident 👍🏻
Practice begets experience
Experience begets finesse
Finesse begets confidence
Confidence be gettin’ you laid.
Stop hanging out with music snob who talk down to you. Good friends would enable you.
Friends don’t let friends dj techno
Grow a pair and put yourself out of your comfort zone. It's not easy, but hey - How bad do you want to DJ?
Great vid but Real Djs use the Sync button
I loved it
Hi Arman! Thx for the good explaination. keep up ur good work!
This is awesome! I love the tracks too!
Great video!
I'm a Toronto based DJ as well, beginner at this point, but I play UK/Happy Hardcore, Drum N' Bass, and Ravebreaks.
I wish the whole video was like the last half full video/ I know you need to promote yourself but if You showing a tutorial keep it smooth and simple like you did the last half of the video. Only Observation ;p Keep videos coming u got new subscriber :)
🤣🤣🤣 cheeky fucker , he’s showing everyone a free tutorial and your giving him advice , Sasij 🤣🤣
Nice top fella
im goin to be reachin the parlour that weekend look forward to hearing ya do ur thing. gr8 vid cheers.
I hope you made it out despite the ice storm! It was a fun night.
great video a good example for the up and coming djs
Thanks man this helped a bit! keep em coming!
Dope mix! What type of headphones are those?
I like it. Very well explained. Good job!
Man that DJ-Bruce-Lee T-shirt is very cool bro...saw it from the 1st second from the video.. :)
Nice job. I like to purchased one of those T-shirt! Let me know if your friend has one more. Thanks
Great vid! Thank u!!
What style of music and what style you mix all depends on how you judge your EQ levels. This video is not the way but just one way of how to use your EQ levels with this type of music genre
So where can I get that t-shirt?
This is a huge help, if you could, i would love another video of the same thing but more examples! Also, do you ever try mixing songs while having a third track going too? if so: mixing techniques? Good luck on your birthday gig! and happy birthday!
Very nice ✌️
thanks a lot my friend the best skills for me to bring some deeptech and rominimal
What's the second track? Not the one you're mixing... I'm referring to the one in the intro at 0:04. I'd appreciate....
Very helpful and well explained. Thanks! 👍
Really helpful! I'm going to use this advice in my mix right now ^^
Great Video. To go from great to awesome I would love if you got yourself a good microphone.
Thanks bro 🎉
Nice Video man, thank you a lot ! :)
great vid
Anyone else notice the cross fader
The crossfader is disabled. It is not needed for volume fader and EQ mixing style.
its on thru
tryed this way i find it easier than normal amazing sir cheers
My techniques in build ups hpf until 8000 Hz
and breakdowns take the sub bass of incoming track 20 Hz frequency until 300 Hz
These techniques give energy to the audience
