Mobile DJ Mixing Demonstration BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 First of all the demonstration and then of course the explanation

All right guys first of all the demonstration and then of course the explanation. I will be skipping through the tracks but of course I'll be explaining why I was skipping through the tracks after the demonstration. Say hello Sophia. Hello. I'm doing a tutorial but it doesn't matter you can hang around if you want to. Okay yeah this is um this is one of my stepdaughters Sophia say hello. Hello. And uh Sophia very soon is gonna have her own controller. I'm three so um what do you think about that then? Cool. Yeah oh yeah it's gonna be hip and slick and funky yeah okay so you're gonna hang around while I explain what I've done okay okay so I'm just going to turn that off all right so what I was doing there was I was cutting from one track to the other now I don't know if you noticed I did not touch the pitch at all there was no need the objective here is to make sure

4:38 Three, track, playing imagine

In a sort of a phrase so what I was trying to do I was trying to picture the one song coming towards the end of a phrase for example the end of um maybe the chorus or the verse bring the next one in and then the next one end of a chorus or reverse bring the third one in and so on and so on so there's no need for beat matching or fantastic editing and you know sort of filters effects and wacky sort of transitions so long as they sound well the tracks work well together and you've got a relatively good transition you pretty much can't go wrong what I try to do as well is make sure that when one track is finishing on the one the other track comes in on the one so it's not it's a case of this track over here one two three one two three other side one two three and so on so let's just run through those transitions so and again what I did

Back so I knew what I was playing so we go here to die young all right track track three go back alright so that's playing so imagine now that's playing the crowd are listening to that what we're going to listen to now is on your headphones so you always got that now the uh it's not on the one the team the team tea is on the one talk the tuck is on the one so so we'll go forward two three four two three four one two three four one two three four crossfade in the middle to remember my bang straight in so I would class that as a very good transition because we're keeping some form of continuity with the feel the vibe the energy uh again these are very poppy tunes so these are the sort of tracks that one would play in a commercial kind of gig you know again but of course it depends on when you're watching this video all right so then we went to what else was it then I had track number 12 on this side 10 11 12. so again all right that's playing imagine the crowd of listening to that so now what I'm about to do is on the headphones

Okay the last thing you want to do unless you want to mix it is play this it's nothing it's not doing anything now if you want to you could bring it on here but this isn't on the one I came today the D is the one I came to one two three four so all you need to do is the best thing for beginners especially is find the one and cue it on the one are you paying attention Sophia yeah there you go right dance dance right so how about that can we dance wow we've got two tracks talking with each other okay so then from there I went to track number 24 and these are just uh tracks that I sort of put on this uh thumb drive and all of these tracks have been put through record box as well so I can see the wave format again that's playing in the background let's cue levels up all right

Yeah you could queue it up right at the beginning but there one two three four one two three four and so on so let's go back here that I came to but I'll be honest with you at the heat of the moment in a vibrant kind of sort of cheesy disco no one gives an absolute monkeys I hope that's been a help and I will finish off by saying practice and Sophia practice and rehearse no excuse me a sec just stay there you're supposed to say enjoy okay practice and thank you very much
