    Bro this a gem right here. This helped me out alot. I knew how to beat mix and do transitions just had no clue on how to set up a mix.

    You need a lot of songs to plan sets like this. Not only do you have to gradually transition into different BPM's, you have to do the same thing with keys. You can get stuck in the 'neighborhood' of a key and its relative major or minor if you don't have enough songs in adjacent keys to work your way around the wheel - so to speak. You basically get painted into a corner and wind up just having to spin out or use effects to transition. And that's all good, but it goes to show that you need like 3 times the amount of songs you think you need to build a set.

    Began using ur process early 80s w/vinyl. Always pulled 2-3 x/songs I'll need. Haven't used song pairs. Like it and will try it. Thanks! Do lots of open format. Use loops and hot cues for in/out. Def. use comments. Use Serato Flip to edit/cut length. Always look at key. I'm old-school - long beat matching mixes best in key. Pull beats from another song to extend mix time. Record on w/beats on controller, master in Audacity. Rarely do extreme BPM changes. Usually 4-5 BPMs max unless I'm in 135 BPM range. Been at this over 40 years. Everything you said/demo'ed is spot on.

    Man I've been listening to your tutorials for a couple months now and i have to say you have the best! I've been Djing and still learning for about a year now and i have a question, what is your general rule about switching genres? Do you play a certain amount of songs first before switching?

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 года назад +13

      Appreciate the continued support bro 💯🙏🏾 - for me personally, I’m not really an open format DJ so I don’t switch genres very often when I’m doing events, at least not back to back/song to song.
      A general rule of thumb, I’d say the answer could vary amongst different DJs but personally, I like to settle in to vibes before switching so I’d say at least 20-30 minutes before switching.
      And I may stay within a certain genre longer than others but usually I have a main vibe/genre then switch it up to other genres every 20-30 minutes or so, play a few tracks, then get back to the main genre.
      Hope that makes sense

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 года назад +1

      I just have always done pairs, but when you think about it, after lining about 3 pairs, that’s technically a group of 6.
      So if thinking about it in larger group helps, I’d say definitely think about it that way!!

    • @anewbetterme9277
      @anewbetterme9277 3 года назад

      This may be a little long but hopefully it makes sense to you.
      I'll do green from the first bar and another green for the 8th bar
      🟩🟩 no thinking for this transition. I'll use 🟧 if my vocals start on the 5th bar so it may look like this
      🟩🟧🟩
      Yellow for my outro
      🟩🟧🟩🟨
      Magenta for a "backup" outro
      🟩🟧🟩🟨
      ⬛⬛⬛🟪
      So my 1st green I can either loop 2x or let play til the 2nd green. Transition out on the first yellow and if I miss that mark I have the magenta has a backup mark. Of course every song isn't the same so some I have to alter my cue points but for the most part this works perfect.

    in the future.

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 года назад +1

      This particular is topic is hard to cover because a “good blend” truly varies from ear to ear. What I can say is, I personally listen to the tones, and the placement of the kicks and snares/claps and whether they compliment each other or work against each other.
      A lot of my people like to mix within key, but I never have and always feel like most blends sound pretty good.
      This particular topic is one where you may have to develop your ear and find what you like personally just by listening to a lot of different blends. If that makes sense?

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  2 года назад

      That is an excellent question! You can honestly do it either way. I recommend doing pairs that don’t piggy back so you can always hit whichever pair you want and jump around versus having to go in that piggy back order, if that makes sense?
      Or you could do piggy back groups of like 6 or so and color code them.

      😂😂 you’re the second person to think that blend was good!! So like I told him, all our of ears are different.
      Now that I listen back. It wasn’t a “bad” blend, I just think it was the tone throwing me off. But honestly, I’m always mixing all kinds of different songs and keys and transitioning quickly so there’s I don’t even have time to notice a “bad” blend sometimes

      Most of my music I’ve downloaded is from mp3poolonline.com, or downloads from SoundCloud. I hear the best source music pool is good, as well as DJ city.
      I’m going to try out each record pool and make a video sooner than later.

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  2 года назад

      Blend just means two songs that sound good together when played on top of each other! Like an acapella and instrumental from two different songs, or just two songs in general.

      Really? I didn’t like the tones together. But that’s the beauty of DJ’ing and creativity though.. we all hear different things and put things together in our own ways.
      It’s hard to “teach” some aspects such as blends because it’s truly a personal opinion you know?

      I freestyle almost every set. But I got to that point by making sets and understanding what flowed together until I knew my library/playlists like the back of my hand.
      It’s all a process in bettering your skills. The same a rapper may start off writing lyrics until they can freestyle in the booth.
      If you personally can mix from day 1 without creating a set list and everything flows, more power to you 💯

      I feel like we all have songs that blend well and we use the same blends in multiple sets but doing 10 songs or so in the exact same fashion shows lack of wanting to freestyle/come up with new ways to transition, etc.

    What do you mean by telling my story or telling a story? I don't understand what that means. I have a professional dj at work that has told me this but I he hasn't explained it to me, he's supposed to show me our off aren't the same.

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  3 года назад +1

      It’s kind of hard to explain, but honestly, you just have to think about it as if you’re literally making a music playlist to your life for example. When you’re a kid, you might play some oldies you heard growing up. Then as you grew up, the playlist may include songs you liked in your teenage years, etc.
      It’s really just about creating a vibe, but in a sequential order that flows. Idk, this may not help at all lol. It’s one of those things that you kind of just have to understand because only you can personally tell a story from the music you listen to or like.
      Also think about it like a book, intro, climax, outro. Each part brings out different feelings depending on the story - and what those feelings are depends on the story.
