DJ Magic Wong gives you an intro to DJing. He walks you through the dj equipment, the dj mixer, the turntables, Serato dj software and he then explains beatmatching, phrasing and shows you how to do some basic dj mixing.
It doesn’t matter if you want to dj trance, house, dnb, breaks, hip hop, electro, raggea, hardcore, techno or any other kind of music… this is a great intro.
So many people want to be DJs but very few even know what a DJ does. I hope this dj tutorial helps you out!
Well Laidback Luke walks you into his studio which is nothing more than a room in his family house with a small computer screen, a small keyboard and a Microphone. You get to see one of Luke’s unreleased tracks! Joachim Garraud, another superstar French DJ is behind the camera.
He plays off of his laptop so he doesn’t need DJ equipment at home. He doesn’t even use his speakers because he doesn’t want to wake his kids up at night. Luke one best DJ / Producer in 2008 and this is where he did it from!
So you don’t need a super fancy expensive setup. You don’t need every piece of DJ gear around. You don’t even need speakers to be the best DJ in the world…
Now if you’re anything like me you probably shudder at the word “theory”. It sounds very academic… doesn’t it. And anything relating to school I want NOTHING to do with…
That being said I found a sweet series articles that explains all of the different points of beatmatching. The different steps won’t actually teach you how to DJ… but they will help prepare you for beginning to learn the basics of dj mixing and beatmatching
