I would also cut the MID EQ just a little bit when mixing, both tracks playing at 100% at mid range can also get a bit unpleasant
god, i finally saw him
DJs job used to be introducing new music you’ve never heard before! booths used to be out of sight, but back then it was about the music and not watching someone mimicing djing. This guy would not hold up djing back to back with an actual dj.. ben sim, jeff mills, dave Clarke etc because he’s a pop producer not a dj.if your into this your into pop edm producers .. not good electronic music or good djs! there 2 different things and 2 different scenes.
David Guetta seems super cool! Lots of very insightful knowledge. Fantastic episode.
i dont know anything about DJs and I need to go to bed
needed my most important question answered… how do we end racism?
“Don’t take zolpidem”…..he probably has no recollection that he took one before this
great video by the way
I have zero interest in this kind of music but credit to David Guetta. I know understand his art significantly more than I used to and he explained everything in a very approchable way that kept me intrigued.
As every art it’s much more difficult that it seems at the first glance. 🙂
My weird DJ question is why do DJs spell “stealing” as “sampling” – is it some acronym that I don’t get? Like some insider reference to “I want to compose, but I cannot have an original creation mess with my vision”
Lol I kind of expected you to do a rap intro 😅
Man, why did he stop making Roblox videos?? 🙁
PLEASE GET SKRILLEX ON THIS
this guy just cracked my kindergarteners mind with the 1st thing you said.. he is over there now trying to lite the roof on fire..i think we will be back.
Pre-recorded set to go with the visual displays and fireworks. Don’t lie.
Do you think “Djay” by algorithm is making it to easy for just anyone to actually DJ? I put alot of time into my Craft. Mixing beat matching, etc. Then a program makes it to easy to just slide a slider over to beat match and match keys. What’s your thoughts?
man that was great! Thank You David!
Bro is so wasted.
Just say it’s the music resolving. The End. Drop explained.
As a house DJ with 35 years experience I would always teach people about 4/4 timing. Start by learning to count beats while listening to a tune and tapping your foot or hand. You will soon learn that changes in the tune always tend to happen every 8 or 16 bars. Start doing this before you even try to mix and it will make it a lot easier.
A big fat line is what the dude worried about tiredness needs! 😂😂😂
