Size 1.16 Gb
In this video course, world-renowned DJ Shortee teaches you the essential DJ skills that you need to beatmatch and mix your music using CDJs and a DJ mixer. These skills include manual adjustments, tuning your ears, manual beatmatching, and beginner mixing techniques.
She breaks down the entire beatmatching and mixing process slowly and clearly, step by step and in multiple ways, so that you can fully grasp the concepts, while also giving you specific exercises that you can practice repeatedly to hone your beatmatching skills. Every lesson is taught in a clear and concise way that is easy for anyone to understand.
Discover how to manually manipulate the jog wheels in order to temporarily adjust the tempo of your songs and how to combine those manual adjustments with full pitch adjustments so you can manually beatmatch your music. Shortee shows you exactly what to listen for to be able to tune your ears and how to determine if a track is playing too fast or too slow so that you are able to manually beatmatch any genre of music quickly and easily. She demonstrates these techniques with multiple genres of music while displaying how to use your ears exclusively.
Shortee also uses DJ software as a visual example, so that you can see the adjustments affecting the sound waves in real time. You will learn how to perform multiple mixing techniques such as a simple blend mix and various EQ and filter mixing techniques, including the most important EQ mix that you will use often as a DJ. Shortee also shows you how to perform a drop mix, using the crossfader in conjunction with the volume faders, for use with quicker mixes, trick mixing, and songs with shorter phrasing, and then combines that technique with the EQ and the filter, showing you how to blend the frequencies between songs in a more efficient way for even smoother transitions during quick mixes.
