I added so much new content and bonus material – I have been devoting so much love and energy to it these past few months, hopefully you like 🙂
What a humble and talented man is Fisher… Keeps killin it on festivals and now we have these nice tutorials. Cheers m8 ????
The reason the voice sounded muffled was due to it being a pepper male voice. Don't forget to explain how different voice ranges sit in the eq differently. Ty your a killer teacher for real
very useful one
Hello, I am very impressed with your mixing techniques and music selection. Could i ask you if you could post the titles and artists as well. Thanks
What a really engaging teacher. ❤
when you want to do a subtle bass transition, would you beat match the kick in phase or out when the track kicks are similar?

What's your take on bass swapping when starting a new song when the build up is coming the tjw original drop?
Wow good tip! Especially when mixing with tracks that you don’t know that good. It gives more safety to a swap when leaving a bit of the bass and not cutting it completely. And also nice to have more variety, even with a simple thing like a Bass Swap
jay lumen for the win 😉
Basically knowing your music and subsequently your trackselection is the key when Djing. Back in the days when you mixed proper records you'd know your music, you were attached to them and you felt them. Your transition comes from the feeling of the music. There's no real do's don'ts. These days quite a few DJs pop in a stick and fiddle through their 1000 odd mp3 tracks hardly giving themselves time to get acquainted to music. They're just tracks, often the hottest tracks most other DJs are playing as well to be discarded as soon as new stuff is out. So if you're not as gifted, and importantly, not putting in the time and effort, you'll need someone telling you how to handle poor track selection and little musical feeling by rescueing yourself. I guess your tutorial is valuable for many but imho there's so much more and depending on the style there's a lot of space for your personal approach. But again, track selection comes first. Always.
Always hated pioneer mixers for the bass . 4 band eq is far superior
Always had these questions about the EQs. Thank you for sharing.
Bro looks so happy to share this information with us
If you knew more about phase cancellation and how serious it usually is in low end, you'd probably never recommend slow/soft bass EQ swapping with bass mixing between two records.
You can easily create an unstable, phasing, ugly mess of two kickdrums (and basslines) layered on top of each other and unpredictably canceling each other. (except situations where there's not much bass at all in one of the tracks).
Sometimes maybe slight highpass filtering (to leave some vocal warmth etc. in the mix, but get rid of subbass) would work better than playing with low shelf EQ
Wow!
Imagine if we had this help back in the late eighties early nineties ❤
Good evening, very nice video, I wanted to ask a question that may be unrelated, but could you recommend a relatively cheap speaker to connect to my Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ Controller and maybe you could tell me what cables I need like usb, rca to connect them because I've seen a lot of videos and I can't find someone to explain them in detail, I also don't know if the computer plays a role but I have a macbook air, thank you very much for your patience????
Bass? What bass? ????
track id on 3:44 please
The only thing about not doing hard swaps is that the tracks have to be in key for it to work, or at least in complementary keys.
One of my fave things to do when there's, say, a bar, or half a bar, even, of fill with no kick, is bring the bass in on the incoming track and kill the outgoing channel fader simultaneously at that bar or half bar point, then kill the bass of the outgoing track before slamming the channel fader back up. It sounds like a lot but it's actually really simple, and it saves you having to turn two nobs in opposite directions simultaneously.
Man, you are always so positive) I like the way you do it))
Can't you have polarity problems when you play 2 Low – Ends?
this is cool <3 king !
My fav video so far
Love your bubbly energy and explanations
Thanx man that was hepful af finally someone tells when to use what not just how to use it answers many of my questions
Love all these videos and has helped me endlessly. Thankyou for you efforts brother
First lesson : KHOW YOUR TRACKS LISTEN TO THEM ….
Goated video
Good stuff man.some points to work on,cheers xxxx
I wish I had a Permanent-GRIN like yours in most/all your videos ????
Recently back into DJing after a break and came across this channel. Absolutely brilliant. Whether you have experience or not anyone can learn something from these videos. I certainly have. It’s helped me build my knowledge after getting my head around the technology. I learnt to mix and it’s vinyl. Check in regularly and always learn something. Great, thanks you ❤????
Best vibe on dj tutorials on youtube, or even tutorials in general!! ????
Vids always good, why I got your course..
In this one I'm a bit confused with the phrasing. You start the intro of B track at the verse of A track, which then goes into a breakdown when B is starting a verse. I'm I seeing this right? Is that still "correct" song phrasing?
Thanks man
Thank you. A big thing that helped me is the High Pass Filter two bars before a bass swap. Even if you swap at the right time, I found that some swaps just sounded shallow.
You voice was a little to high over the music, need to bring them together a bit more, chers for the vid though.
Love your vids and energy! Going to buy your course soon!
For The last Example is kind like Bass House Genre
Nice stuff I'm new to the channel trying to keep up a bit much little confusion what do I find 101 help
You are such and sweet kind soul. Had to subscribe. You’re informative and really inspiring!!
Full on!
One of the things I stress with people I am teaching to DJ is that bass is one of the most important things to pay attention to. I usually add memory cues to each track (it's time intensive but worth it) the most important two cue points IMHO are the exiting tracks "wind down" (this usually comes 64 to 128 beats after the drop) now at this point there is still a bassline, I have one more cue point after that one that I call "outro" this 90% of the time is the last 64 to 128 beats that have no bassline and just a beat. As well I want to know where the incoming track's bassline kicks in, for lack of a better term I call this cue point "bass change" and it is 90% of the time after a 64 or 128-beat intro which is usually just a kick and snare where the new bassline starts. With these points added to each track, I can feel more comfortable mixing two tracks I have never mixed together before and timing the bass swap. The algorithm is pretty simple. Has the first track's wind-down period started, if so, where does the bass change happen on the incoming track, I will typically perform the bass swap on that bass change or before the outgoing track reaches its outro. This method works well more than 90% of the time and I also need to be cognizant of the genre, and the energy in these tracks and as you said if leaving the outgoing track playing have we cut out the bass so much that it feels empty (bang-on advice). Like you said not every mix requires a hard bass swap. But I am a huge proponent of marking these special moments and color coding them when I have the time or they are tracks I play a lot. Of course I know them well, I could probably do a decent job without cue points, but why not. Finally I love tools like mix-in-key and platinum notes. Mixing to a complimentary key can be a good tool to help find another track to match and ensuring that all of your tracks have a similar volume always makes a better mix, riding the trim and remember which track is lower or higher in volume is nearly impossible.
Absolutely love your personable style and infectious giddiness about DJing. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. ????
