    As often as possible at home, i jump on the 1210's to remind myself how its done without anything to help you - Swear it helps get myself out of trouble when things go pear shaped when on CDJ
    My mates keep threatening to do an all-vinyl night, but CDJs are just waaaay too easy when you're nearing pension age! i done my time walking across town with records cases balanced on a Coffin flight case at 4 in the morning!

    Great advice, back in the vinyl days we knew our tracks soooo well, to the point of boredom, we always had groups of 2's and 3's that we could put together in different ways to create a set. The boredom soon disappeared when the crowd came along for the journey.
    Melodic/Progressive, THE WAY.

    • @remorema

      But thinking about it. This way of mixing we end up mixing alot more on the build up then on the outro. And you're an old school guy like me, mixing in the easy areas was considered kind of cheating.

Later (Wanting the become a better DJ) I watched some videos by my Favourite DJ and positive person when something on Deck 1 caught my eye.
    Almost 50 now and i hope to enjoy myself behind the decks as much as you for a very long time. Buying the book seems like a good start. Andrew, thanks for the inspiration.

I just watched few DJ videos before and tried to learn, how they do it. But without any explanations like you're doing. So I learned myself and I felt it is not good enough till now. So after two years of streaming live sets I'm in the beginning again. Many thanks for your great work. You're so huge inspiration for me. Thank you so much and good luck !

  • @MrPoblijon
    @MrPoblijon 2 года назад +3

    Excellent choice of tracks. Great topic too. Before I moved away from a console to CDJs, I was obsessed with looking at the screen and matching the BPMs exactly (.00s). Now I do not blind my screens, but use this technique, when I can hear the tracks are misaligning after a couple of bars and apparently I have to either slow down or speed up one of them. Then the fine adjustment of the tempo fader does the trick. It is really helpful when I want a loop to keep on playing ion the background for a while without having to correct the alignment over and over again. It is really a great habit. But here and then I admit I sin using BPM sync :-)

    • @ClubReadyDJSchool
      @ClubReadyDJSchool  2 года назад +1

      Haha nothing wrong with sync, and I often use it when prepping, but I just try to ring home, people should know how to beat match so if they find themselves in a difficult position they have solid understandings of how it all works - sounds like you already have that level of understanding - great work Martin!

    Your videos are very cool!! I enjoy mixing trance and have used a lot of your techniques that you show with melodic techno/house! I haven't found a dedicated trance episode, would you ever be down to do one?

    • @kanedNunable
      @kanedNunable 2 года назад +2

      trance relies a lot on melodies. my advice would be to try and mix in key and watch your melody loops. dont clash them too much, use your EQs. echo/delay & reverb etc on the synths and stuff works really well too. trance really doesnt like being mixed as much as other stuff like techno tho as often more things going on.
      i like to say bring a loop with some of the next track pretty early, just to get the listener used to a hint of the next track. loops are your friends here. trance also doesnt like to be that aggressively mixed i find. its all about blending into like a seamless experience/vibe. some tracks the melodies will compliment and some sound awful. best to just try and see which go into each other. i used to DJ a lot of psychadelic trance in the 90s and that stuff was super hard to do much with. so many things going on. modern trance is much easier tho to play around with.

    nice tutorial, I don't want to fancy myself.
    * prepare before playing. because many songs do not start in signature 1/4 but 3/4 or even 6/8 and many people confuse the notion that 1 beat in a song is always No. 1 and this is a mistake. especially techno and melodic techno. I think that without headphones on monitors or sound system is the best learning system many songs do not reflect the nature of the headphones
    Again really good job !

Question, are you able to see the track names or just loading the next track that sounds good from the loaded playlist? & you might have said it but, are they the same playlist on both or are they two different ones? Thanks! It’s awesome to see/hear the things we’ve been doing for years explained and demonstrated for the next generation.

      i find ethnic type vibes work really well in that environment. you have sample banks etc to use for it? i use traktor with 3 decks and an F1 for samples and it gives so much flexibility. you can link ableton etc in with all that if producing too. i lack the production skills so i make up with samples and loops and an extra deck.

    Great work!!!!!!! Thank you so much I am going to try this!!! I'm used to only using the tempo slider to match BPMS, but this seems to be more useful. I will definitely try this!!!!

    Do you at least set a marker on the first beat? You don’t seem to be searching where exactly your starting from is it on the fly?

      IN this case all the tracks I used started on a beat - this was enough :)

    Your style of mixing and song choice is very similar to mine it's weird to watch, even the low volume spinbacks! Some people won't even hear that but the subtlety works best for what I like.
    An alternative idea if it's possible.... have 1 channel on the video playing the main out and the other channel as the cue, basically what you've got set for your headphones so people can listen with headphones and hear how your cueing, beat matching, phrasing etc. Would sound weird as a normal video but as a teaching video might work?
    Appreciate your efforts 👌
