I started DJ'ing ten years ago. This was the first mixing tutorial I watched. Still watching and sharing it for reference !

[joeywaaa]

After learning to DJ almost a year ago now I watched this video for some tips. Now I'm watching this a year on and I actually completely understand whats going on now, cheers

Fantastic man. I just got a sponsorship with NI so I have to learn all of these techniques in a snap... "basic" things become difficult when it's a whole new hardware / software package! Thanks Ean!

[kamitree]

This was way cool, you don't often find djs talking about actually techniques, thanks so much for making this video and putting in all the different camera angles so we could really see what's going on. please make more

I am sure some of you think this is way too easy with today's technology, but for beginners like me with ear problems this helps a lot. I don't have to push my ears as much and make them suffer.

Thanks for the video tutorial.

that's the joy of videos, with the pause and replay n whatnot. it's being able to infinitely ask "wait...do what again?"

[HSSFineart]

Perhaps the best video on this subject on Youtube. Very well explained and easy to adopt. Awesome transitions there big ups blud.

I feel like i just hit a gold mine. I need to record a demo for a club who's possibly hiring me and I needed tips. THANKS MAN you are THE BEST

This KILLS the experience of seeing a DJ who could literally just pick tracks based on the mood of the crowd and flow for hours and hours. If you are relying too much on cue points you begin to do the same things w/ the same tracks, it's taking the JAZZ out of DJing.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, these transitions could easily be programmed into software. When everything is already locked into warp marked music w/ loops set, the button mashing is basically just for fun/show. CONTINUED

I love the break slam specially when the last song was hard then the new one is something insane!.

[TheWaynelds]

I do hiphop and have instrumental versions of each track i have. I scratch drop all my tracks in as well. When the 1st hook hits on the active song, i throw in the instrumental version of the next song and let it play until the end of the 2nd hook, then while just the instrumental is playing, i get the version with words and scratch over it for a couple measures before i drop it in. This is a good setup for doing double copy tricks like looping, stuttering and beat juggling during the set.

nice video, always good to see some basic dj knowledge so well demostrated in a youtube video. technique 5 isn't exactly a regular basic techninque but that's pretty awesome use for a digital setup and one that i'm sure we'll be seeing more of being used.

[epliks]

nice! very helpful vid! thanks for the effort makin it.. really useful for us 1st timers..

[Yousefs_world]

Finally. A professional DJ who KNOWS how to explain. Screw Expert Village ;)

[rodneypragasan]

Thank you, that was very helpful. Please keep doing videos they are much appreciated, ignore childish comments.

[rhadiem]

as always, great video man. thanks for always doing quality work.

@djlastlaugh if you're using traktor and you have bpmed the track you can move forward and backwards by however many bars at a time by using the MOVE mode of the advanced deck controls (the down arrow under the loop bar, where you set cues and grids)

[brenmac]

how do you know if the track is 16 counts in or whatever?
do you have to count? sorry i'm new to this

[mhtpk]

all of this guy's videos are awesome end of discussion i have spoken.

[NOTMuzzaFuzza]

the last transition was perfectly perfect... quite challenging to do though but really 5stars dude!!
