    I wanna add that the position of one hand doesn't have to match the other. For my main record hand (left), I hold a low 8 o'clock, and my other hand (right) is a higher 9 o'clock. Same principle applies with the crossfader. Sometimes a new position can help with learning. Definitely helped when I started practicing faster chirps.

    Sup, DJ LiftOFF. Ur such an amazing DJ tutor with big patience. I think ur videos already helped some beginners. My advice would be, add some of ur highlight showcase at the top or also the end of ur each video. Post some 30 secs routines as SHORT. It may bring more subscribers to ur channel. Keep it up, im ur fan bro. Cheers.

      Yoo! You should be able to “cue” whichever track you’re bringing in to listen to it in order to beat match. What kind of gear do you have?

    My question is which hand should be on the crossfader the dominant or the non dominant

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  Год назад

      You should try and practice with both! For me, I do different techniques better depending on which hand is on the cross fader. My dominant hand is more comfortable on the cross fader but with chirps, and really fast scratching, my dominant hand is better on the platter

    • @DJLiftOFF
      @DJLiftOFF  2 года назад

      Honestly, old me would have said learn it at 3 o’clock but if you’re comfortable scratching at 9 o’clock and it doesn’t stop or hinder you from doing anything, I’d say just stay consistent with that hand positioning!
