    whoever programmed all of these dj controllers and engineered them are incredible. It's amazing technology, truly happy to be alive today to experience it

      Imagine doing this back in 1986 when I first learned on turn tables and just a few records it was frustratingly difficult because there was rarely anyone to show you these concepts unless fortunate enough to know of someone through connections and their willing to mentor.

    Hi Phil! I'm new to djing and I watched a lot of beat matching videos. Many of them had vague and "celebral" explanations and I was struggling. Your tapping trick is a killer. It worked instantly. The feeling of perfectly aligning tracks is finally kicking in with confidence. Thank you; A lot. My comment feels like a paid message but it's not! Keep it up Phil.

    I mixing hard techno and many times both track play in this same time. Sometimes 3 minutes you hearing both thats the way is mixing. If you play track one by one with this same BPM like M juice than you just play. Jeff Mills sometimes used four turntables and 4 tracks hearing this same time.
    If you mixing sometimes both tracks sounds like totally new version.

    I really don’t know what I was doing before watching your videos.Now, after watching you for a longer period and putting in much effort, my mixing is still shit, but at least I know how to figure out how to change.Thanks a lot Phil !

    @DJSalera 3 года назад

    So many “basics” videos out there just tell you what it is. They don’t tell you things like how to make sure your audience doesn’t hear you while you do it by pressing the queue button. This is great. Subbed.

    I'd like to say that the 1st step isn't the speed. It would be making sure your beat grid is properly lined up within the song.

    I wanted to purchase your dj course but your website is so misleading. It tells your the course is $260 but you can get it for $37 if you purchase within 15 mins. Then after you put all of your CC info, your taken to another pages that says you can add advanced course for another $57. I opted to not purchase and still got charged.

    • @wild.forestflower
      @wild.forestflower 5 лет назад

      Mix it up! Don't be predictable. Watch videos on different transitions!
      I am a deep house fan and like hearing the new beats come together slowly before splitting off to the new track.
      Practice and believe in yourself! You can do it!
