    My GF got me a Traktor Z1 for Xmas, just to mess around on. By March I had bought myself a DDJ 400 and read the Carl Cox book and am completely addicted. Started with house n techno, moving into hip hop now (still a noob at everything obviously). I have watched hours n hours of crosfader vids in the last couple of months. I even take my decks to work and practice in the back of my 10 year old fiesta on my lunch breaks 😂 Every vid I watch I'm like, "oh yeah!", "no way!", "now it makes sense!". The help is immensely appreciated guys, much love ❤️

  • @DJLEOdamadprofessor

    i had no clue to use the sampler for the acapellas. i thought you needed 4 decks thank you you for this.

    That sampler tip is genius! There's so much more to DJ-ing than beat-matching and filtering in/out, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The creativity and personal spice you can put into your sets after mastering the basics is where DJ-ing get's really fun

    Love the break down of everything you did. Helps old school DJs like myself to keep up with the mew techniques for the newer equipment. These are techniques I’ve used with turntables and cassette tapes in my early days. Now trying to adjust and learn everything all over again. Videos like these are a big part of that so thank you so much

  • @bpottt
    @bpottt 2 года назад +12

    Loved the sampling tips. Perfect way to mix classic tracks from back in the days with newer music as some of the new hip hop tracks nowdays have started sampling the melodies, beats and hooks from 90s and 00s tracks.

    I think finger drumming 🥁 suits it all, As a young DJ, I will try to mix like a musical engineer on a beat because in Africa it is about how innovative you could be when you are a young DJing.

      @bigdaz7272 2 года назад +1

      @@albertoromeo8522 Load Track on Deck 1(physical Deck), instant double to Deck 2(software Deck) and move the crossfader to Deck 2. Load next Track on Deck 1. Prep it then mix it in and move crossfader to Deck 1. Then Instant Double to Deck 2 and move crossfader over to Deck 2. Rinse Repeat.
      I kinda do this a lot even though i have 4 Decks cause i am better scratching on Left Deck than Right ect so i send my Instant Doubles to Right Deck and stick on Left Decks to do my stuffs :)

    @DJ_Osiris 5 месяцев назад

    This is a great example of mixing expertise with expert song choice. A rare find.
    I have done ~100 gigs. A lot of mixing tutorials aren't helpful because the DJ chooses songs that mix well harmonically at the expense of song choice. For me song choice is #1 always. I like your song choice here.

  • @chizileamerican2186
    @chizileamerican2186 2 года назад

    This is perfect timing, I started mixing Reggaeton and it’s very similar to hip hop but just in Spanish. The vocal sampler definitely is my favorite because I think you have to use acapellas as a hip hop dj if you want to stand out. 🤙🏾

      @@Crossfader One of the big things i miss about Serato since moving to Rekordbox you can have your Samples play from Cue Points, in Rekordbox you cannot do that you have to do some nonsense when its in the sampler to micro/super super super super slow shuffle you start position.
      Its so so so so stupid it makes using the sampler for anything that you want to start in the Sampler more that a few seconds in seriously painful :(
