    Always enjoy your Vinyl Mixing tutorials. I have been a DJ for over 30 years and nothing is more satisfying than to mix 2 records in perfect beat and key and keeping the flow of the music going. Keep up the Vinyl lessons, they are always helpful.

    Took my turntables out of storage and broke out all my old dnb, attempting to knock the rust off after 15 years.
    Struggling to cue, beatmatch, phrase match and EQ properly again.

    • @Crash-Rest-Yummy
      @Crash-Rest-Yummy 3 года назад +2

      @@theoracle7463 For me dnb is more easy to mix , faster tempo (so u get feedback faster if the pitch is too fast or too slow), a clear snare ( mostly) to focus on, i never focus on the bass or beat, that confuses me. Get snares , hihat's , claps in beat, the rest follows.

    There is also another way....:
    This is all very fine, but applies mainly to House, Trance, etc, which were produced with beatmatching in mind.
    I am mostly playing Classic and Northern Soul as well as vintage Boss Reggae, so no long instrumental intros or outros, nor extended breaks.
    So I beatmatch New York Style, like Cool Herc did in '73, fading over just the bass (i.e, kickdrum) from track B to track A, while fading out the bass of track A, so you've got the bass track of track B accompanying the mids and highs of track A.
    Let this run for a moment, and then fade out midst and highs from track A whilst fading in mids and highs from track B. This way you avoid clashing vocals, harmonies, melodies, keys, etc.
    Full kill on all 3 frequency ranges for both channels is a must for this, but if you can: try it. It's really something else, it's really fun and it really excites the punters!

    Honestly….. I taught my self to play vinyl over the past 2 years snd I feel I’m pretty good….. scratch that, I taught my self and saw some of your videos. You’re well versed and give good info in a short amount of time. We appreciate your info bruv.
    I wish I didn’t have to learn about spl the hard way.
    To those learning…. If appears from what Iv seen that some people have a natural musical mind. Beat matching vinyl is a little hard at first, making sure you’re in “season” with 8/16/32 counts is even harder. Those whose brain doesn’t subconsciously count beats/melody’s are at a disadvantage.
    To some people, the cyclic nature of music, the “law” that is that law for how ever long that track is, and the physical manipulation of media just does something to satisfy the neurons when that mix is just right.

    • @irinadumitru9088
      @irinadumitru9088 Год назад

      Counting is essential in any type of mixing...on vinyls is crucial.

  • @brad270472
    @brad270472 3 года назад +2

    I started sodding about mixing music about 3 yrs ago and gone down the digital route, would of loved to have been a vinyl junkie but that's a bit hard to do if you haven't been collecting vinyl for years or your not lucky enough to find someone with a job lot to sell, I would of got bored very easily....I bought some controllers and a week later had over 9000 tunes to do some bad mixing with (and hand on heart, can honestly say that I've never used the sync button). So unless you all want to donate 10 bits of quality vinyl each and in return, i'll happily find space for some decks, please stop knocking us digital junkies just because we have newer stuff with more flashy light on 😉.....it should be about the music and atmosphere you provide.
    Peace 💛

    Nice video! If you really get into trouble you could always cue the second track to beat three before the verse, then do a big spin back on the currently playing track then immedialely start the second track and flick the cross fader over so it comes in on beat one of the verse.

  • @alessandroambrosio
    @alessandroambrosio 2 года назад +2

    awsome, nice tutorial. I might just add that for knowing the song frazes and beats, its really important that you are able to hear it and count it in your head, knowing when 16 beats passed, or 32 when it comes for drop in. Without this rhythm, its hard to be dj.

  • @justjames5698
    @justjames5698 Год назад +1

    I've tried to show folk how to mix in my time with turntables. The hardest part is trying to explain music timings. For the majority of dance music its 32 or 64 beats. Theres 2 really important parts to mixing.
    1. Make sure you have the same genre of songs, you can drop the occasional "different" tune to give a lift or break up the monotony. However, constantly changing your song genre makes it messy and youll have confused people on your dance floor.
    2. Probably following on from above, know your records, know what direction you want to take folk.
    If you're playing weddings, have a collection of songs for everyone there. If youre playing a house night, make sure its house records and not pan pipe records.
    There's an art to this, but also you can have shoddy mixing and great tunes.

    Good point outs but as an experienced vinyl DJ of old here i don’t do any of that above i just know by ear instantly when to mix in & what works the most vital part is knowing which record is faster then the other ( adjustments & mix recovery ) you can get any mix in time but the trick is to keep it there tight by listening & working up the vibe .

I've been using a controller for a bit over a year now and i want to move towards turntables since my favourite way to mix is EQ mixing and beatmatching, doing slow transitions and stuff. I feel like turntables would be better for my "Style" of DJing.
