Great info! In the spirit of this video, here are 6 things I would encourage for people starting out/things I wish I knew:

1. Trust the process and keep practicing. People who make it look easy during showtime put in hard hours during their prep

2. Make a birthday/party sets for your friends. This is how I started out -- I would have friends send me their Spotify playlists and make a set based around the music they like. This helped me get out of my comfort zone with genres I wasn't used to mixing.

3. Don't beat yourself up when you mess up. That's right, you're going to mess up during a performance -- everyone does at one time or another. Good news is, the crowd wants to move past it as quickly as you do so, keep calm and rage on.

4. Learn to beat match with your ears. There's nothing wrong with using sync when you're starting out or in a pinch but learning to beat match by sound alone becomes second nature after lots of practice, so keep at it!

5. Organize your music early on! Save yourself some heartache early on by categorizing your music into folders. Some examples are by genre, tags (i.e. hard drops, mashups, etc.), and or moods (club setting vs. lounge). Also, always carry a thumb drive with your music because...you never know when you're going to have to cover for the unprepared DJ 😉.

6. Consider getting a streaming service like Tidal. This will allow you to try mixing music without having to purchase or download a bunch of tracks. I would recommend using this to practice before subscribing to a DJ record pool. When you are ready to subscribe to one, I would recommend BPM Supreme and Beatport (personal choice). Couple of caveats with streaming services -- 1. I wouldn't recommend relying on it during a performance with Murphy's Law lurking around every corner and 2. You can't record a set with steaming tracks so look at it more as a try before you buy 😁. (There's a way around this but, for now focus on the fundamentals).

I hope this helps at least one person starting out. Keep at it guys and gals. Can't wait to see you on the big stage!

Can’t believe ‘don’t use the cross fader’ is tip number one! Lol
When I was mixing in the 90’s, the cross fader was the way everyone done it.

Those tutorials on CDJs are so great. Thanks for remembering tip 6, which definitely is the most important one.

[bennettfamily]

Phil...As always I learn something new from each video. I was using the 50% fade in mark, I will now do use the 80%. Thanks and keep them coming.

[richiebrixx]

I like to mix with the EQ lows while beat matching it makes for a smoother, longer transition

very useful video for newbies for today, all opening their first DJ controllers. merry xmas everyone!!

Crossfader rule is nonsense. Set your curve and it's easier to blend your mix. You use the gains and ears to control the volume levels.

Keeping the gains at 12 o'clock like a lot of people do is not required either. Each track is recorded different. We need to bring back using ears 😂

[wongobongo]

Using the crossfader is KEY to cutting.

[philwhatever]

Try mixing Old School Euro/Italian dance without a crossfader. Nearly every track needs it.

[michaelhines]

Maybe define what genre is being referred to here regarding the tip "not to use crossfader", as scratch dj or turntablist are most likely to use crossfaders.
