How to DJ for complete beginners!

In this video I explain everything you need to get someone with no DJ knowledge or experience mixing two records together and learn the basics of DJing.

We are going to be using Rekordbox DJ software to mix and the decks we will be using is the Pioneer DDJ 400 all in one controller.

Follow along as we learn what DJing is, what equipment is needed, and ultimately the entire beat matching process. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to mix two songs together live, as if you were a DJ performing a live set in front of a crowd.

I'm an old man, but after watching your videos. I've decided to invest into a music station to play for my kids.

I got into DJ'ing about four months ago. I watched this tutorial before and after I purchased my first controller. Fast forward to last night where I just DJ'd my first gig with Bass Flip transition as my foundation. Mixed in with hours of practice, familiarizing myself with my music, and incorporating some things I learned via trial-and-error, last night couldn't have gone better and it's opened some doors moving forward.

Videos like these help budding DJs like me. Thanks a million for this, Ben!

Hey Ben, just wanted to say I have watched every single beginner DJ tut on Youtube in the last 3 days, and yours is by far the most practical to watch and follow along with. Instead of "do this, do that" I feel like i started to get a real understanding WHY we use the equipment the way we do. Thank you

[benraineydj]

Hope you guys find this video useful! I want to help as many people as possible learn how to DJ so drop me some suggestions below on what you want me to teach next.. 👇🏻

Wicked! Had mine a few weeks and felt proper pants as I couldn't get it. I have watched so many videos and have been spaced out. Found your teaching method straight to the point. First time I have understood the twisty fun nobs woopwoop!!

[scbtduc]

This is the best tutorial for beginners I’ve found so far! You’ve made it simple which is really helpful when there’s so much to learn all at once.

[danielpedersen]

I've been DJ / Producing for 7 years but still enjoy watching this!!! just stumbled across your video @Ben Rainey amazing!!!

[ultrapaiva]

Wow. This is the most direct and straightforward beginner’s tutorial I’ve watched so far. Not trying to sound more complex or black magic just to flex. Well done.

[CalvinOnTwitch]

I've watched about 4 other videos before making it to this one. And I think your video is BY FAR the BEST for beginners. You broke down how everything works, and I didn't feel like I had to look up what certain things meant or needed info beforehand. I bought the Pioneer DDJ-REV1 and you've encouraged me to figure this thing out! This video should be at the top of the algorithm! Thanks!

[rhemaluckie]

Thanks Ben, my 16 year old son and I really appreciate your heart to take time out of your busy schedule to teach others. All the way from Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific. ❤️🇵🇬

[honestjoe]

5 Mins in and this guy is a diamond in the ruff, actually wants to teach. Well worth watching (Thank you for being so kind firstly with your knowledge and secondly decent) enough to NOT(create a filler tutorial on a go slow for money, ) but actually create something, others can learn from. It's appreciated!

[joelhuston]

This is genuinely the best beginner DJ tutorial I've seen. Thank you!

[LeahEJayCee]

Thank you for making this so simple to understand :) You helped me grasp the basics of mixing & I've been non stop since!

[darkstepwarrior]

killer production my man. very good lighting with clear explenations. also the after effects visual are very clean.

[theluckyproject]

EDIT: searched the comments and found the link for the laptop stand, thanks Ben! Great tutorial, your genuineness is persuasive

[krissokaro]

I have gotten my twins involved in music and I got them the music station already and they are under the tutelage of a good dj. This tutorial you gave here is a blessing. Thank you so much for this.

[briancase]

Great instructional video, but actually, the jog wheels do not change the speed of the track; they move it forward or backward. That is, they *temporarily* change the speed, while you're moving the wheel. When you stop moving the wheel, the tempo returns to where it was, but the position of the track has changed.

[LatiNoble]

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen. I’ve rarely seen djs teaching the “bass flip transition” and counting beats and bars. I really appreciate the enthusiasm and energy. It shows your passion and makes the video really fun to watch. Thanks.

[dripcode]

That low flip is key! Thanks for sharing that! This is the best intro - I've watched so far.
