  • DJing a 70s event is probably one of the music difficult genres to spin. When you are dealing with live musical recordings, the bands are not always in sync. Knowing your music and when tempos change is the most important thing when mixing 70's music.

    The best disco club DJ set I ever heard was from Larry Levan!!! His song selections and his ability to blend mix smoothly with tracks that consistently vary in BPM is pretty impressive. RIP Larry.. you were one of the greatest.

      @ClevelandTerry  5 лет назад

      +GERARD aka DJ GEE I typically mix entirely by ear. I have trouble using the mic in key features because the songs don’t sound right. I’m a musician so being able to here key is in my dna. I also use BPM sorting when I don’t know where I want to go.

    1.) I kept fearing that you would hit your head on those brackets on the wall 😅
    -and-
    2.) “Some Transitions Modified To Avoid Copyright” ...where does one go to find out these rules about music within RUclips and what’s allowed and what’s not?

      +DJ KNKT i kept fearing that too because I’ve actually hit it before. My copyright hack is very simple. It involves uploading the file in private and seeing what gets flagged, then I re-edit the video without the flagged song.

      +Dj funkymike they are great for speaking but not great for mix recording. If I’m behind the speakers they are better. I love them though because I don’t need to be pointed the mic at myself to still record good audio, for my talking head videos because it eliminates echo.

    Or do like I do. Warp in Ableton to a steady BPM. I played all this stuff when it was only a few years old or even new so I don't want to have to go through all the hassles I did mixing vinyl back in the day.

    • @ClevelandTerry

      ​@@ClevelandTerry I did my first gig in 1979. I put the old in "old school". I was dragging a finger on platters to keep in sync before most of today's DJs were born. I'm all about embracing the technology and never, ever dragging 20 crates of records to a gig again as long as I have my Denon gear and a thumb drive.

      DJ Solstice It’s not the mic, if you look at many of my other videos you know it’s a really good sounding Mike, guaranteed it just had to do with the fact there was so much noise. You don’t hear the super loud fan that is being pushed above me and I was talking louder than I needed to because I couldn’t hear.
