incredible video! I will be adding this technique to my mix! I was just wondering how do you get the sounds that appear in green on rekordbox to mix in the keys?!
I have been layering beats into my songs for years now. And it's very addictive as I use three spare decks layering three different beats that are looped into a song on the fourth deck to basically remix a song on the fly in real time. You can make a song sound different every time you play it giving it that extra punch. My prime 4 works well for this as it has four decks.
Only recently got into Djing as a hobby. Bought the DDJ-400s. Really enjoying it so far and will definitely get on to a course to learn to do it properly! Loving all these videos👍
@@AdmanMVR the ddj 400 is the perfect buy for anyone starting out and even professionals who just want to mess around and see how their "new tracks" play out before playing on the professional cdj's
I'd love to see a dedicated video on mixing music with short/no intros or that starts/ends with vocals. A lot of the music I want to mix seems to not have an extended mix or a super clean way to just drop it in without things clashing. Love the content as usual :)
Good tutorial. It’s getting people used to jumping with hotcues and taking them away from static mixing and blending if they take note of this. The loop is always the best way to do this too so it’s great example, and always the easiest route also which is always good if your playing live. Hot cues are the best thing to ever hit a set of decks 😂.
And they’ve always existed. Cue marks were placed on vinyl back in the day, yet everyone always contends that hot cues were never used in the DJ scene.
This is very interesting, it actually helps even with songs that doesn't have an outro to mix out or you can use it as a "drop mix" but very technical and with a better efect
If you have a Traktor Kontroller S4 Mk1 or Mk2 with the loop recorder and Traktor Kontroller F1 you can build an incredibly strong library of all kinds of remix samples with high, mid, or low frequencies filtered out. (You could also use the loop recorder manually in the software if you have a different build that does not have the built in loop recorder) I usually keep the 4th channel free so I can grab loops from other songs to layer in or on top of the current track that is on focus. With the loop recorder set to "cue" it will only capture audio on channels that are set to cue in your headphones so the audience won't hear what you're doing. Further if you want to filter out highs and mid frequency and only capture bass lines it will do so, or only mids or even it will capture any changes you make. Its a really powerful tool that I was sad to see discontinued by Native Instruments. I don't see a lot of Traktor videos on Crossfader channel here, but I suppose it is a Pioneer and Rekordbox focus content.
it would be also better if you guys use more beginner equipment like ddj 400 in those tutorials. It is always nice to see pro djs using beginner equipments and creating awesome mixes.
I see what you’re saying but there’s so many videos using beginner equipment. I like to see it here on the DDJ-1000 as it’s a very similar layout to club level CDJ’s so it’s easier to simply transfer the skills over x
Jamie you are amazing I love all your videos so much! I am a brand new DJ and have been watching your videos since the beginning of my journey back in November 2021 and have learned so much! Thank you for putting in all the effort to make these videos. I definitely plan on purchasing some of your courses soon! Much love!
Classic Serato!One track playing at 126.99 and the other 127.01 sometimes they even have a difference of 0.4 bpm´s to beat match no matter how you edit the beat grid!
Excellent. Thanks for sharing. I’ve learned a lot. Most eye opening video though was Nick Mavromatis episode on Vocal Production. 30 minutes of raw knowledge. SO creative!
one of my favorite versions of this is reversing the classic 'cut low EQ on track A & bring in track B then fade out track A' by knocking the HPF/LPF over a little bit on track A & cutting the high EQ completely to start sneaking in track B with an aggressive LPF, mids turned down, & bass completely off. then you can slowly open up this very tight, high, crackly hi-hat pattern from track B into its full mids & highs as you muffle the first track out. it's great if you're doing it into a track with a bit of an intro before the kick or a bassline comes in & then get the 4-bar phrases lined up so right when track A goes out track B kicks in & takes over. incredibly basic & easy, sure, but it's so hard to mess it up & as a bonus it really got me thinking about mapping tracks out in 4-/8-/16-bar phrasing.

Hey guys, thanks for the tutorial! I have been DJing for a year and I have used both the first and second technique. I have a question: do you always have to mix by key? I have been mixing mostly by bpm but that is changing.
I'm also about a year into my dj journey and mixing in key is essential for long blends. If you're doing something like a drop swap it's not as important.
Hey guys. Noob question but when matching the tempo of a song do you have to get the decimal exact as shown in 5:30? Or if I nudge the tracks together with slightly different bpms will they eventually go out of sync?
Yes they will go out of sync eventually but depending on how long you want to transition or blend it is not of high importance. You are not gonna notice a thing during a 16 bar transition when the two bpms are off by .07 so it's okay when they arent the exact same, especially when some controllers or mixers are bit finicky with their bpm fader.
I've been conditioned so badly by people that frown upon the sync buttong that i subconsciously refuse to use techniques that somewhat require the button 🙄 i gotta force myself out of this sometime cuz i feel like i'm limiting myself
Thanks for the tips Jamie I’ve yet to use hot cues because I’m currently mixing my sets on my iPhone but man I can’t wait to apply these techniques with my controller . Bless you!
Click on the "Master" rectangle that is right on top of the "Artist" column in Jamie's setup. Your's might be on a different place, but it should be right above all the columns of your track list.
If you right click on the column headers such as where it says track title and add key in there. You may need to scroll to the right and drag it to the position you would like it.

Does the course teach you how to deal with venues that want “nothing from the radio or top 40” when you want to be a headliner that plays the most popular music, not random obscure tracks that last 7 minutes?
Not quite haha. We get your frustration though. It sounds like you have a gig most new DJs would love however it may be worth looking at other venues that align with where you want to take your DJ sets!
@@Crossfader offers are only worth the $ behind them. It’s not really worth it to me to get “exposure” to play music I don’t really want to play ultimately. Thanks for the reply!
@@matthewjswider I have a hard time believing that you are turning down super duper cool underground gigs if you can't get a spot playing top 40 tunes - that's literally the most safe, accessible road you could go down as a DJ.

I never thought to transition and then jump to a que point on downbeat (I'm also pretty new at this), thanks for the tip!

Thanks man!!
How do u have it highlight the ones with the same key
I notice quantize is on, I know what it does. Why is it better to use than normal beat matching?
