Much Love…leave comments if there are any topics you want covered in later videos. New episodes coming every two weeks 6pm Wednesdays pst
You are amazing and beautiful
This is all I ever wanted thank you
Gracias :)
Alison Wonderland conspiracy theory/alienbird show!
Amazing video 💜💙💜 I would like to see you go over some beginner/entry level gear you would recommend 🙏🏻
The fact that I already know what the play button does makes me feel like an advanced DJ. Thanks for the motivation Alex
Play/pause is enough to be Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike.... 🙄
mario snslow they still put on a great show though 😂🎉 I believe that pre-recorded sets are for producers who want to connect with the crowd and put on a show.. since they won’t be able to if they’re constantly having to beat match, switch songs, add fx, etc. Don’t get me wrong being an actual Dj takes much skill and I appreciate the art. But there can be producers who can pre-set the perfect mix for an event and there can be Djs who can play other people’s music live in the best way possible. Or you can do both, if you’re extremely talented 🥴🎉
@@4evarav3n48 I agree. Unfortunately there will be many people in the crowd who arent as musically interested in DJing, so they have to get entertained by something else than just the pure skills of the DJ. So for the majority it will be beneficial if the DJ plays a pre-recorded set.
Djs hoje ganham muito mais notoriedade pela aparência e mídia, do que pelo talento. Não os vejo usar nem fone para tocar, isso quer dizer que os sets são todos gravados por um dj de verdade. Milli Vanilli os ensinou como enganar o público muito bem hahahaha
Joe C I think this has correlation with genre. In dubstep bass community a prerecorded set will get you flamed. 😂
It's always nice to see an accomplished DJ drop some knowledge on those aspiring to be one.
I don't have the intention to ever get into dj'ing myself but I love listening to people talking passionately about one subject they're passionate about, so this is awesome! 👍
okay not gonna lie that is so wholesome
I second this!
It´s always nice to see people on top sharing their passion for others to learn, thank you so much, keep making these tutorials, I want to to get started on Djing
I’m starting! Best of luck to both of us on our journeys 🥰🎧🎶
How’s it going so far?
I too am curious. Did ya start?
I haven't but I'm working to get the equipment. I'll keep you updated
Did you become a Dj?
These are so useful, it'd be even better if the camera of the aerial view of the decks was the right way round for the viewer so we can see it looking at our own!
This would be so helpful!
Use a deck in your next fashion week video
Yes Zac, what's popping man!! Love your channel
I just turned my phone upside down lol
can you make something like this for producing as well, would be so dope
YES
Producing is a whole other kettle of fish and is largely subjective. Plenty of tutorials on youtube, just search up whatever DAW you're using and you will find thousands of producers who have amazing information available for free, theres even more online classes etc that you can pay for at a fraction the price of going to a course. Good luck! :)
@@4bidn1 Yes 100% accurate but as a producer and live sound engineer I'd personally love to see her on a DAW. Maybe not a "tutorial" but more of a live stream. Especially on her mixing and mastering. Theres always lots of ways to do it but watching some of her techniques would be cool.
@@CrookCulprit17 Ay I can get around that for sure, would be more for people who are already through the basics of producing though, cause it would be pretty hard to make an 11min quick beginners video same as this one!
Search for EDM TIPS, he is really easy to follow if your looking to produce music.
i literally love how she demonstrates her Dj skills and love just listening and learning from her! This is by far the smoothest dj lessons on RUclips!
I enjoyed her radiance and energy during this whole video.
Thank you, Alex you’ve been one of my all time favorite DJs since I found your music in 2014 or so. Been a die hard since then! You shouted me out for OUR BDAY IN 2017 on your IG live and I’ve always had such loyalty to you. I am beyond excited to see what’s to come with this class. Much love, Sage 💚
Lol it’s hilarious you can’t even use your own music without worrying about RUclips taking the video down
Ye tahts hilarious
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
its honestly stupid, like actually wtf
technically it isn't *her* music. It belongs to the label. Which is retarded, but it is what it is.
the video won't be taking down if she used one of her tracks, what will happen is RUclips will recognise the music as to which label it is and monetize it for that label, that way if her videos are monetized she won't get any but the labels which the music is shown in the video will earn the money
This tutorial is really nice to beginners. She uses just simple words, simple expressions, and simple explanations, so cool and in the video Alison Wonderland is not like a world top DJ but a friend who’s sharing her passion.
this is probably one of the best tutorials that I have seen so far. I am very new to DJ, and never tried before. Love this video which gives me the courage to think more about possibly trying it out one day.
Really awesome video! I've watched a lot of "beginners" videos on a multitude of subjects and a lot of them don't break it down simply enough for me to feel like I'm actually watching something designed for a straight up noob. You are doing a great job so far of breaking down the basics in a simplistic and easy to understand way and I appreciate that!
It seems like was yesterday I saw Alison djing at Mixmag Lab 5 years ago and then here she is! So proud and so happy!
It's harder to explain "how" than actually do it. I'm not a Dj, but a former Pro BMXer and when people asked how I did certain tricks it was so hard to explain, but doing it was much more easier. Got the same feeling now. You're such a great Dj, but to actually "tutorial" is hard when it's in your interest and muscle memory. I still enjoyed this video 😍 Thank's Alison!
That is so awesome of you to share your talent and instruct others on how to get into DJing. You always have been such an awesome person
This video was a perfect introduction to show how humble you are behind the image. Giving props to your manager and recognising where and who got you started is a lesson on its own. 🙌 Respect
Wow, this is going to be an incredible series! Thanks for being so transparent and educational! Would love to see a future episode with you showing how you also create a new song.
I mean a DJ lesson from Alison Wonderland, doesn't get any better than that. I'm working my way thru all of these, watching each more than once. Thank you AW !
My first (and only) lesson in DJing:
Instructor: "Can you count to four?"
Beginner: "Yes"
Instructor: "End of lessons"
I then had to figure the rest out myself.
That was 22 years ago. Videos like this are invaluable for today's budding DJ. Let's just hope we can get back in the bars and clubs as soon as possible and enjoy the magic of the DJ.
This is awesome: clear explanations for beginners, very well-structured. Thank you for this series, Alison! :)
Alison I want you to know I love your music!, I also love the fact your down to earth, talking about your problems and discussing them helps. I want to tell you about back in 2014 I just finished 48,000 edm songs, then they where stolen, but my point is your words make me feel better about it knowing everyone is listening and that someone like you has the same problems keeps me moving forward too, much respect for you Alison wonderland!!!
Just wanna say I love you! Been a fan for YEARS, finally got to see you in Tomorrowland last year. You're amazing!
It means so much to see one of my favourite women in music hand out gems like this. She's literally one of the reasons I'm even in music now.
OMG Alison this is amazing, thank you for doing this, we really really appreciate these lessons. I'd love a whole season of this hahaha
I started practicing how to DJ back in 2014 and entered a competition with friends not to long after that i got side tracked and never came back to it, but as of recently i have pulled out my decks and wanted to learn how to dj again.
Thank you Al for stripping it back and keeping it basic as this helps alot of us how to mix again. appreciate your time keep the vids coming 👍🏽
Wish I had a video like this while I was learning... it is cool to see cdjs broken down into basics and from someone in the industry as well... keep up the awesome teaching Alison... stoked to see more
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise...for years i have been wanting to create sound but I’ve been so intimidated...this really did set my mind at ease and help me to remember to keep it fun...can’t wait to start playing around on my decks and not feel like I’m going to break something ❤️
i instantly saved this to my watch later. not a DJ myself, but i love learning the ins and outs of the music industry! the mixer and disc explanations were great, and easy to understand. thank you so much Alison ❤️
I put to watch later but watched instantly haha
SO happy and excited you're doing this! Thanks Alison 🙌🏼
I'm new to DJing and bought myself a controller during the pandemic. She explains it how my friends did which is a good thing. Can't wait to watch the next video
Right in time - I just started to learn how to become a DJ, and it is nice to see such tutorials from a favorite artist, thanks! :)
My god this is an amazing tutorial
My brothha ! U knoe dae wae
my broda, is she ouwa qween ?
Lol
lol
Alex, you are my queen! I can't explain how excited I was when I found this series. I am an enormous fan, also classically trained and want to get into DJing!
Loner is my favourite album. I just felt it and felt your heartbreaks.
Huge love to you and baby!!
Watched your set at the Gorge, love that you are out here teaching others your craft. Thank you for keeping it real!
You are awesome! I have to be honest, DJing isn’t my thing…I’m more into rock music, but listening to you explain things gives me a new respect and admiration for what you do. As far as I am concerned, you are just as talented as someone who plays guitar, bass or drums, or any other instrument.
Bro, I’ll be attending all of these lessons. Ms. Wonderlands teaching in DJing and Mixing! ❤️🔥❤️
Seeing you live and the fun you were having made me want to start DJing, I love this!
Best tutorial I have ever seen! Slowly, step by step, from the basic. Love it!
I appreciate that whoever put this together lined the background music up with the "1...2...3...4..." bit, choice
I've always wanted to get into this but haven't known where to start. Ty for this, love the series already!
I just started Dj’ing a few months ago, nice to see one of the coolest make videos on it, good timing!
Nice info for beginners. Very clear and concise explanation of djing for a digital dj that had been spinning records on vinyl for 15 years until 1989. Just getting back into the game as a "Old School Playa " playing old school music.
Can't believe how much I listened to her song in NFS 2015 and now she's on youtube in the flesh god I love the internet
Thank you for this, I just bought my first set of Cdj’s! This is was super helpful, excited for future videos!
came here because i saw its a tutorial by alison wonderland (i like her music) but in the end i must say it's propably the best "how to start dj-ing"-tutorial for beginners i've seen on youtube. not too overcomplicated, natural, authentic...keep it up its interesting! :)
Love you Alison! Can’t wait to see you play live again!
Damn it's 2 in the morning and I got recommended this. Looking forward to what type of content Alison puts out for DJs yay
Started mixing about a month ago, and learned 3 very valuable things from this video still. You are the best teacher.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video!!! I make new songs out of sounds from songs in my head and want to start to try to make them in real life but had no idea how anything works. Gratitude and love for you queen
I’m about to buy a DDJ-800 as my first controller and my friends and I were talking about what an amazing tutorial this series is. Thank you Alison!
So helpful!! I appreciate that you’ve broken everything down fully. That’s what I’ve been missing watching some of these tutorials
they are very good
Please keep putting these out! Love the tutorials. Who wouldn't want to learn how to spin from THE Alison Wonderland!? Perhaps a more in depth look into some more advanced techniques down the line for us adept DJs trying to take it to the next level like you do!
this is so good! hope it helps heaps of people get into DJing, love your style and the way you treat your decs like the worlds coolest instrument :)
Getting ready to retire soon and very excited to have the time to start this. I have heard so many DJs say they learned from the internet. Thank you for organizing and starting this and sharing your craft with all of us. 🙏
PLEASE MAKE MORE!! this is gold finally someone who isn't trying to sell some bs course
thank you Alex, for sharing your knowlege and experiences. I actually wanted to get a ddj 400 for my bday and now there's just no way around it :)
Can't wait for episode 2! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Honestly, thanks for sharing your practice to other upcoming DJs, particularly during these times. If I can support in the future, I will!
Hey Alison. I would love to see you talk about effects and which ones are you faves. Your music helped me through some dark times. I have produced electronic music for 10 years but never tried DJing. Thanks for this video❤️
Thank you sooooooooooo much!! I actually got a job as a DJ during this pandemic and have been trying to learn as much as I can. Also, you've always been one of my biggest inspirations, so the fact that you posted this is awesome and much appreciated :)
how did you get the job? did u have a lot of DJ experience? that’s so amazing !!
@@lmy222 Thanks! I actually had zero experience with DJing, but was in the recording studio business for 10 years. I found the position as a job listing and submitted for consideration. The company didn't mind training me because they appreciated that I already had a huge music background. Currently on my 2nd year of DJing and have progressed so much!! Really proud of where I'm at and can't wait to see where my abilities are in the future :)
Alison!!! Much love for all these track editing!!! Your DJing lesson will be very helpful since im hoping myself to be a set DJ one day!! Thanks again, I LOVE U
I can never have enough information. Thank you for making this video, it's always nice to see stars sharing their knowledge!
You're one of my favorite DJs of all time!! Something I think you're amazing at is finding a really cool groove and doing your own thing when DJing and even laying out some alternative songs on top of rap and hiphop songs. Could you one day do a video talking about how you prepare for a set, how you think about the flow of the mix, and getting songs to go together? Much love

im glad she took the time to make these videos i think people want real stuff and i have no doubt she is an actual dj that really does do this live. i love it and people just dont know how things work and this video breaks it down and shes gorgeous
Thank you Alison for your hard work and time to bring this to us nu-b's. Listen, I am 58 yrs old, and I just love music. I play some percussion but nothing other than that. I do abstract art and this is to me an outlet to express my journey as well. Keep them wondering...
As a DJ teacher who has been teaching for awhile now, you have a knack for teaching! Great video and thanks for putting it online for everyone to see and learn from your awesome skill!

She's another reason I kept going.
She is the reason I am STARTING!
@@ashleyparker-kalfin2670 🙌👏👏👏 this is freakn awesome!.
Absolutely loved this!! Thank you, Alison!
this is the first video I watched where I actually understand. thank you. I feel hopeful again
Alison , you're awesome for this, been waiting lol THANK YOU ALEX
Holy shit I’ve actually wanted to start getting into DJing and this might have just done it 🤘🏻 Also Alex, in a future episode could you talk about some beginner/entry level equipment that you would recommend (or just good equipment in general)?
Faxxxx
Baked righhhhhht?? Timing
Tfw I just realized her name is Alex not Alison 😱
get a ddj-400 or 800 to start. After that you can go to the ddj-1000 or xdj-xz which are closest to the CDJ NX2 and DJM-900nx2 club setup.
@WhaiKnot @Chris Franzen Thank you for the suggestions 👍
Thank you for sharing the knowledge.. It shows that you really cares for us and we would be able to see how does it works (behind every good dj-ing).. Keep it up Ally ❤️
Yay!!! This helps so much, I want to be a DJ so bad like you but it's so hard learning from other RUclips videos. This helped alot!🙌🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Virtual riot be like : OTT on the cdj
i dont think he uses cdjs at all. Just the OTTs
this made me laugh way too much
I was wondering why this sounded like a bar to me then I realised I was thinking of wileys last bar in "bar - wiley" so basically: barception lmao
=D Good one haha
lmaooo
That beat at 4:02 is fire.
This was really informative! Even though I did know some of these things, there were little bits that made a huge difference to what I've been learning on my own. Thank you so much!
Love seeing strong creative women out there doing what inspires them wish I had the courage to do that at their age lifes too short to doubt yourself just live & enjoy the beats 🎚🎵😉
Gracias por tanto alison, eres mi Dj favorita, espero algún día poder conocerte
This is seriously so cool that you’re doing this. Big ups
This is pretty badass of you to do this. I’ve been djing for a while and I wish someone would’ve made a video like this when I started. I’ll be watching the whole series. See you at Red Rocks again soon!
Thankyou so much! This is really so helpful, you told us every bit of things.. That's so cool! We will be waiting for the next lesson.. Miss you my favorite Alison The Wondergirl of The Wonderland.
ALISON this is so wonderful! Much love and respect for you and your skills, so grateful to learn from a boss. I will definitely watch every episode. I have lots of questions but I'll spread them out . Where's the best place to find music to download? Also how do you organize your music? (By genre? By BPM? etc...) Where do you set your cue points? Thanks love 🤜🤛👊👊👊

Got my DJ tools all set up and waiting for class
Well done, Alison. Thanks for taking the time to do this, and best of luck in all you do.
I have seen ALISON Wonderland SO many times and I NEVER got tired if listening to her 😇😊 If youve yet seen HER live then you dont realize what It really feels like LIVE and the Experience, its something you have to WITNESS AND EXPERIENCE live to understand. But ALISON WONDERLAND I love you!! Just dont stop on producing music ! 😊😇 God Bless You 😇😊🙏
2:05 wtf was that... my weekend was way to um “long” for those shenanigans hahaha 🤪🥳 this will be a good series to follow
YAS YAS YAS YAS , Djing Masterclass
but free!!
@@Phantom_Head with Alison!!!!
yo alison, i just ordered a dj controller today. thanks for being an inspiration! your music is awesome and you’re a super dope teacher. keep it up 🤙🏻
So nice to see you do these tutorials. Its really entertaining to see you doing something different like that. Keep it up… and i will be waiting for more tutorials. Love ya!! ^^
Not gonna lie, I subbed the second I saw your "Division Bell" shirt.
Just watched True Detective which had a DB T shirt. That universe is trying to tell me to get back to Floyd or something.
SYNC TIP: hit sync on the silent deck during the playing deck's buildup to speed up/slow down the playing track and drop into the other track :D
Never thought one of my favorite DJ's would kick off a tutorial series
Thank you for being so sweet about the basics more content please
TL;DW Just choose „LiveSet.mp3“ on one of the decks and hit play. Done.
I’m really good at pressing the shuffle button, if that counts as being a dj.
I liked the way she so clearly explained the function of the play button.
Me asf
thank you for explaining everything in layman's terms. I really enjoyed watching this tutorial. i didn't know what a cue button was for until now.Thank you
Good deal, making these. Looking forward to the next ones!
