      However, people are getting smarter even it's not their thing.. They know well if you're a good mixing dj or not.. They're entertained in you mixing even with mistakes, miss beat matching and they don't like you cheating on them using Sync. Some don't actually dance just because you're good at mixing, they're dancing because they having fun know their DJ actually mixing without using Sync and for people like me, I'm most interested when a person miss beat matching.. It takes you back when mixing is not simpler as can be during the 80s and 90s.

      @AllDayHockey 3 года назад +55

      @@reyzuna I think you are over compensating for people in most clubs, who are most likely high/drunk and the only think they care about is if the music is moving them or not. But fair enough im sure there are people out there that do pay attention to the mix quality but mostly it will be people who are also into mixing themselves, so probably a small percentage.

    Thank you for the lesson! Some of us "boomers" who DJed in 1997-2004 miss the time before CD tables when everything was vinyl and turntables and there were no aids to beat match, no tempo tap, no bpm counter, just your ears. BUT I decided this year that I miss DJing enough to break down and buy digital DJ controllers, I also have my technics 1200 mkII attached so I can use vinyl too. It is amazing all the things that the new technology can do and the transition isn't that difficult. Most of us aren't pissed just nostalgic

    *Something to consider when reaching for the sync button...*
    There's definitely a stigma surrounding the use of the sync button (especially from old school DJ's who've been kicking since before digital DJ software) and the general consensus seems to be that DJ's who use the sync button are "cheating". By not manually beat-matching their tracks, they're taking a massive shortcut that makes them the equivalent of a human jukebox, which will make (as stated at 10:43) every other DJ hate you
    This thought process is shallow and outdated.
    When someone sets out to learn how to DJ, a lot of the times they're seeking out technical knowledge, learning what all the knobs and faders do so they can start mixing by themselves. But aside from the technical knowledge, part of the process of learning to DJ is learning to perform. Reading crowds, tailoring track selection and being able to play a dynamic set is another part of the DJing process that has to be learnt. Phrasing, energy, musical structureand effects are all other important aspect of DJing that require just as much attention as your transitions. If using the sync function to make your transitions a bit smoother so that you can focus on another aspect of your performance helps, then absolutely go for it.
    DJ's who flex on other DJ's who use sync might have all the technical prowess in the world and be able to beat-match Dancehall with Psytrance, but if their set is *boring*, then they're the ones who should step back and assess their skills. If you use the sync button, and what's playing sounds good, and you dance, and the world doesn't end, *don't* feel pressured to stop using it anytime soon. There's no shame in using a little tech magic if it helps you to sound better.

    Hey, i landed on your page after becoming obsessed with the footage of Four Tet, Fred Again and Skrillex headlining Coachella. My background is very much heavy metal and guitar based music, i just wanted to say that your crystal clear explanation and excellent articulation of wtf these machines do is inspiring me to pick one up, just to play around with. Excellent content, thanks for uploading!

    7:07 the crossfader does not make the track 50% volume when in the middle, but it keeps both tracks at 100%, resulting in an equal mix. The track only goes to 50% volume when you drag the crossfader to 75% away.

    • @RisoBoss
      @RisoBoss 5 месяцев назад

      Ive got a question though. Crossfader 75% away is 50% of volume but for other deck is it still 100% or 150%? I guess in the middle are both at 100% but if you go one way, it only lowers the one you are going towards and keeps the other one at 100%? BTw nice video great stuff really I am looking into buying my first controller and getting info first.

    very helpful indeed... i have a background in sound with operating a recording studio and setting up and running a sound system in church but i was a lil confused cause i never been on the dj side before... thanks for making it very easy to understand and fun to learn.. i chose the mixtrack platinum fx to learn on and may end up keeping it for a few years!

    Thank you for making this and offering the free tracks to practice. Now I know why they call it a controller; feels like your playing a video game. Hitting the buttons, sliders and knobs all at the right time while looking at the screen and hearing the beat. You dumbed it down but that's how you learn! It's fun! Thanks!🎼

      Indeed! Actually, the best tutorials dumb things down so that everyone can grasp the lesson! Getting too advanced and too technical usually knocks me out haha
