Number 1:

Make video mixes like how I do on Youtube *insert demo of MWM, and demo of another mix with me in front*

So if you wanna make something similar to that, it’s pretty easy.

You’re gonna need to do 5 things:

1. Conceptualize a mix
2. Set up your equipment and practice that mix
3. When you’re ready. Set up your camera
4. Press record on your DJ software, and camera, and turn on screen record on your computer
5. After recording everything together in a perfect take. Simply import those 3 clips to your editing software and put that mix together.

Now there are 2 things that I like about making video mixes.

Number 1 is that you also practice and get better in DJ’ing.

Recording that perfect set will take a lot of time. Trust me. So the more you repeat your mix over and over again, the better you’ll become at practicing whatever mix or transition you’re trying to show off. Remember, if you can’t do it in front of a camera, how can you even do it in front of an audience ;)

Number 2 is that you make content to better market yourself as a DJ

Growing a fanbase on Youtube, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Instagram, and even Facebook is really the new battlefield for DJ’s who wanna get booked and recognized. You see, If you’re not a producer, you gotta show the world how you mix, and what you mix!

So the more you focus on growing your brand through making content, the better off you’ll be in the long run.

So make those mixes and videos!

Number 2:

Download FREE Music!

So one of the questions I get the most in my videos is “where do i download my music”. And the short answer to that is, NOW, I download most of my music through DJ record pools like DJ City, and BPM Supreme. You can think of these record pools as libraries of music you can download for a monthly price.

Now the thing is, not everyone here has the means to afford a record pool. Most DJ’s, at least young beginners, can even barely afford DJ equipment, what more a monthly paid subscription service?

So here’s what I did when I was starting out, and when couldn’t steal my Moms credit card.

I….ripped music from Youtube and Soundcloud. And I’m not proud of it.

So anyway, here’s how I did it back in the day. Now, I’m not encouraging you to do it, I’m just letting you know how…..

1. Find the track you want, and copy the URL
2. Google Youtube Mp3 Ripper, and choose whichever one suits your fancy
3. Paste your link, and click download.
4. Feel guilty, because you’re now a pirate.

Number 3:

With your new music.

Properly prep them, and you can find a super handy video on how to do just that over here.

But to summarize it.

Analyze your tracks, beat grid them, cue point the beginning of the track you want to use, and cue point the sections where you want to mix in and out.

Now this is a tedious process, but it’s a good practice to do when you download new stuff.

Because every new track you’ll download and prepare can instantly be used to DJ professionally with!

"Download free track and feel guilty, you are a pirate now".. That was hilarious 😂😂

[malcomtray]

Thanks to this video, I was able to rip all of Carlo's video mixes, stitch them together, and now I have a successful Mixcloud! Thanks Carlo!

DJ carlo atendido: "my dj friends"
his dj friends after showing how to rip their music: "not anymore"

The 'problem' isn't live streaming, it's the viewers.
I have been a DJ since 1980, and still DJ now.
I want people to listen to the music, and how I play/mix/present a journey of audio delights.
But, 99% of live stream viewers are only interested in what the stream looks like. The DJ's with by far the most viewers, are not very good at actually DJ-ing at all, in fact, some are absolutely fucking terrible.
They simply upfade tracks into one another, and those tracks are all recorded at the same BPM meaning they don't need to beatmatch.
Then these terrible DJ's will pretend to turn every knob on the mixer (while actually not doing anything in reality, the audio doesn't change - it's all for show), and dance around, flirt to the camera, and generally show off.
If you are a 18-22 year old, pretty girl, with big tits, you will get the most viewers !
There are a small number of listeners who don't care what the stream looks like, because they are intelligent enough to actually care about the music.

BILLIANT! IM SERIOUS to get myself out there! This is what im DOING IMMEDIATELY! Thank YOU! MUCH RESPECT DJS! ❤❤❤

[RenzRayson]

Quarantine is extended, so you DJs better be listening to DJ Carlo, haha.

[jeffreyheffner]

Yo I buy my music now but you are THAT DUDE for being real about ripping music lol

[soniccthehedgehog]

I liked the stealing music part 'not to encourage' but you are right. Life is unfortunate, but there is a lot of unfortunate things going on.

[DJChrisArgueta]

If you are a new dj just starting out your most important job is to acquire quality music, not quantity. Your first purchase should be two solid state drives. Buy great music high audio quality. Build a library like you are collecting swords or guns, your tracks are your weapons. Borrow equipment at first. Go to your friends and use his/her equipment. Learn the basics first. You can acquire equipment little by little. New DJs almost always put the cart before the horse, buying equipment before having a highly curated musical library. You should know your music inside and out. You should know how and why certain music works together. You should have a basic understanding of musical theory and song composition. Learn about mixing in key. You are a chef, preparing a 7 course meal. Never do free gigs, you cheapen the craft. Instead, learn your craft by apprenticing under a veteran DJ. If you can’t play a great dinner set at wedding, you won’t understand how to be an opener. Every new DJ wants to play the peak hours, but have never opened up for the headliner. Pay your dues, learn the DJ craft and when you venture out by yourself you can be confident that what you are charging is fair. I don’t need to DJ for money, I DJ because I love it. But we charge because if we don’t we set a bad example, we spoil people into thinking our art is cheap.

With this Coronavirus and quarantine, I found so many low profile DJs streaming, some better than a lot of the popular ones out there. Let them shine!

[helderalmeida]

2 years later you still influence people all over the world Carlos with your well informed video's. Thank you and God bless you

[dj_ltz_g]

I'm a firm believer that as soon as an artist plays songs for the people and the radio, the song then becomes the property of the public. I still get my music from YouTube. I never felt bad for doing so either, I knew when I played my music that it would do its intended purpose and soothe the soul

[chillumvillain]

Last step: Use Fakin’ the Funk app after ripping music to appreciate just how bad these audio files are.

[tomfoolery]

The best tip is to cue point tracks. I love to cue point intro/outro, buildup, breakdown, drops, tempo changes, and vocals. This mind numbing process makes me feel more prepared

[bakoeentertainment]

Top tier advice for the lockdown... thanks 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[soundscapes]

carlo, the thing is that the people who are doing live streams are international producers and DJs. one can understand them doing streams. they are established professionals who are mostly promoting their music. international producers don’t necessarily show off their DJ skills and i am pretty sure none of them even intend to. thanks

[jaybrickman]

Feel bad about yourself because you are now a pirate 🏴‍☠️ 😂

[cesillevasquez]

I was actually looking forward to see you do a livestream this ECQ. So its not gonna happen 😢 always listening to your mixes anyway. It Made me sane and happy! 😊❤️

[darryldelrosario]

This have been helpful, i cant livestream because facebook keeps taking it down so i would just make videos and share it directly trough my friends thanks dj carlo

[DJBennyswift]

0:54 this is the part I’ve been breaking my head to do so I can upload my mixes to my channel, but of course I have to practice the mix like you put here. I will be working on this right now!!! Thank you Carlo!!!
