Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world

Bro's having the most understandable tutorial of mixing while still explaining crowd reading and sections of songs. Mad lad.

Being someone who started this DJ'ing thing back in the early 2000's I feel like modern DJs are afraid of the long transition. It's very important to be able to let two songs play together for an extended period of time and to be able to tease elements of the new track into the current one. This goes beyond looping and beat matching and allows your mix to be more artistic and personal. Anyone can slam mix two tracks together but it takes a musical ear to be able to use certain elements of the new track to hype the crowd and give them that "oh shit, is it THAT song?" feeling inside. Never underestimate the value of the slow transition and when I say slow I mean take a minute. Some of my favourite mixes are ones where I've let the mix go so long that you can't tell when the "switch" happens and can't hear the first track disappear. I feel like I remember hearing Oakenfold do this back in the Essential Mix heyday but I don't remember where I picked up the idea and started using it. Don't let the technology make you forget how to do the cool things. Take the same track and play it a 1/4 of a second behind and create your own distortion effect by hand, it sounds more organic, especially if you slide the two songs in and out of pitch as you go and change the "depth" of the effect. You can't get that kind of thing from a button press. As the proud owner of a Pioneer FLX6 and learning to spin on Tech12's I feel it's important to remind newer DJs not to rely on the technology too much.

The holy grail of DJ transition tutorials. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clear or useful summary of these techniques! Great work!

[dsands]

I confess, as a DJ for over 25 years I came here to trash talk this video but Carlo nails it with clear concise simple to follow tips I’ve given myself - but his delivery is easier to follow than mine. And yep, this is how we do it. The rest comes in time.

[JohnM]

It is clear you have mastered video editing as well. We’ll done.

[DrSpoculus]

Need a video about paying taxes and talking to girls.

I've seeing your tutorials for more than 2 years now and I've tried to apply every technique you teach in your tutorials, and i can't thank you enough for providing us this much valuable content for free, I've been applying those techniques and I've just got better and better, i don't own a controller yet but some of your techniques can be applied using and dj software or any djing app. On Martin Garrix's birthday i played a dj set on his discord server, and all the people who watched or listened thought i was djing on a controller and they were surprised by the when they got to know that i'm djing with my pc only. I've been appreciated for my smooth mixing style and choices of song. I just want to thank you Carlo it's your tutorials and teachings behind those words of appreciation i get. Thank you Again!!
Keep this amazing work going!!

[flavioausderschweiz]

Hey Carlo, you're explaining this so well, it's a joy to watch your videos! For me as an amateur DJ your videos are extremely helpful and I just wanna say thank you for that!

[robertfleischmann]

I was DJing a wedding last weekend with my headphones on, turntables spinning, and my toes tapping. After a few successful dance mixes, she asked me what I was doing. I simply answered "counting".

[EdsonCruz]

I discovered all these techniques by just practicing every day for months. I'm so glad that this validated me! Especially on the loops.

[happyclapperac]

Carlo. As always, just a top notch vid. I love the way you explain different levels of experience without any ego. You always manage to confirm what I think I'm doing right but then give me so many more ideas. Keep the good work up my friend. Much love from the UK 👍🏼

[oscarengland]

This is the most condensed while comprehensive DJing tutorial I've watched. Excellent. Thank you.

[ayalabaleeiro]

Most of the stuff you teach here were already taught previously on your channel but I enjoyed seeing them all condensed into a single video. Your teaching increased a lot in depth and I am surprised you realized how creators don't care some people are new into DJing and assume someone knows what the in/out buttons do. You managed to teach basic knowledge about each controller function and the all around skills a DJ needs. ;D :D

[partycrasher]

I used to DJ since 2006, but I never saw someone have such enthusiasm like yours to share all the knowledge you have and create lots of videos which is easy for us to understand not only for beginners but also pros. Thanks a lot Carlo.

[acatch]

ive been watching alot of beginner djing videos to prepare for my first set in a long time. and they were all either too basic or too advanced and dont cover what i was missing.
This video is honestly the only video a beginner dj (who understands the absolute basics) will ever need. Thanks!

[rl]

Carlo's clarity is an inspiration for other forms of communication like essays or lectures on any topic. When I get stuck mixing, I watch your videos for inspiration. The basics (with your lovely technical embellishments) get me right back on track....ugh pun.

[eyespy]

From what I’ve seen, the only 3 tricks you need to learn to be a professional DJ in 2024 are 1) have a social media presence, 2) wear goofy clothing, and 3) have someone who will select tracks for you and make you a mix in Ableton that you can pretend to play out at gigs

[bobstock]

I've been mixing my entire OG life and I loved this video! The reason is that it reinforced things I do every time out and I still learned a new trick. Right on Carlo!
