sure. the mixing on the controller was never a problem. the scratching was...

i don master baby scratching. na the more advanced techniques dey take my time now mehn

Your own good. At least you fit scratch. We we dey scratch for inside our Minds.

Main thing is you're making significant progress.

haryomikun:
the terry apala track and the'oh baby' track. i initially thought it was pad trans.... it was as a result of changing decks really fast. I'd forgotten cutting really quick can do it. Controller don dey enter my head small small

Lol.... how far with the controller sef.
Have you gotten comfortable with it?

haryomikun:
nothing was wrong at 9:20. I just hear am again. nothing wrong at 12;12 too. just the track had very low beats which wouldn't have made the track noticeable if it was moved to the middle of the crossfader

i concur with the 'if' transition. it was dope. ezzylee is real good with cue points mehn! thumbs up. no vex say i haven't been able to give an extensive review. been having some real strong issues for a while but i hope it passes away soon sha.

Thanks Man.... I appreciate and I hope those issues pass away real quick.

hustleranthem:

Chairman.... Did you go to kaywises office today as you said you were gonna do?

sconp:
Nice one.
Your songs are very recent, I no even know songs again these days..

The way wey them take like street mix for my hood no be here

According to my younger brother, if na my hood u play, them for stoneyou bottle O because you no play street jingle. As in you no praise Street boys. E.g Jago jago, aja4 etc

Lol.... truly den for don stone me. Don't really have much of them typo street songs sha. Just a select few.

sconp:
Wooooow Nice mixtape.
I love it.
My observation and criticism

The way you entered at 9:20, it wasn't a perfect beat match but nice effect to cover your ass, same thing happened at 12:12.


I love the way you entered rara @14:55...Nice

Abeg who sang the song that played @18:10 and title of the song?

smooth entrance for if ny davido @23:31 AND 23:52(Play while pressed)


Kesh shele gan gan remain small. The mad over you beat was so o point but you played it for too long.

40:54.........I love that shi.t.....dope

Nice concept with Adekunle Gold @44:04

You killed me @45:09 after pass the agbara.......KAi....kai.....kai

Abeg which song start @ 51:18?


You are good with cue points.
Them don baptise you for street mix too penalty, umbele, oh baby.

Weh done sir.



Haywire I dey wait for your own drop oooooooooooo..................you na mad man on your own.

The song played at 18:10 was Bounce by mc galaxy FT beniton.

51:18 was Gbegiri by DJ Big n ft korede bello, cdq and Terry apala.

Also noticed that shele gan gan side too and the playing some loops for too long.

Them no baptise me for street mix oooooo. Just wanted the mix to appeal to everyone whether you be street or butter.

Boss thanks mehn. I'll take note of all these things you've stated and you'll be seeing improvements in the next one I'll be releasing soon.

Thanks again.

haryomikun:
its dope bro I dey rock am right now sef. I haven't had time to listen since... my phone been get problems plus I've been busy at my place of work....

BTW, I noticed you used a controller when doing the mixtape At first i been confuse but when i heard the 'pad trans' effect in the mixtapeI knew you used a controller lol. Thought you said you've never used a controller before

Lol.... controller for the where?

Didn't use a controller at all ooooooo. The pad trans you mentioned sef, I've never heard of it. Had to go google it RN to hear what it sounded like.

I guess you heard pad trans effect as a result of me using different effects or it might have been the audio cut effect or just me switching between two decks really fast.

Thanks man.

hustleranthem:
I downloaded ur mix and its cool..d beat matching wz excellent and u r rili gud wit new songs..nice one

Thanks man... really appreciate

haryomikun:

Downloaded sire!

Thanks man..... what do you think?

hustleranthem:
thanks for the detailed explanation eazy e..it really helped..wat do u think of DJ kaywise School? I believe it can be a good platform in terms of publicity ..I will be at their office on Monday to check tins out

You're always welcome man.

DJ kaywise's school should be a good one since its run by DJ KAYWISE(he's well known and all). Definitely his school is gonna be a good platform for publicity coz I read on his website that he'll be taking his students on some of his shows so they can get real life experience and also you can network with people and start building your own contacts. Also wanna join the school buh I'm still in school right now.

Please when you find out how much they pay, can you tell me and also which branch are you going to (the one at micom bus stop akowonjo is the one closest to me).

Thanks.

benhamactive:
Thanks dj ragga..this has really helped alot. M sure u guys won't mind me asking for more ideas...one love y'all

What other things do you need help with?

hustleranthem:
yes..I have a problem with beat matching..thanks

If you're using a software like virtual DJ, when you have a song playing on one deck and you want the next song you wanna play to have the same bpm as the already playing: when you place the new song on the second deck, press the shift key and space bar key togwther(this works irrespective of the deck you're on). It'll automatically put the second song on the same bpm as the first song and it can also be used vice versa.
One thing you should also know is that it's not everytime two songs are on the same bpm that they'll go together. You can still have two songs on the same bpm sounding awful. So you also have to train yourself to also know when and where a particular song would fit into another song.

I hope this helps.

hustleranthem:
Weldone all d sabi Dj's in d house.I greet una wit maximum respect..I believe we can all learn from each other..I just started the DJ stuff and I believe we will all get to our final destination.what we need is focus and determination.

One problem I have is how to sync songs into one BPM.sometimes when I do it,it goes off key like one playing faster than d other one..so I need assistance on that..

DJ Ragga

Hey mehn.... welcome to this thread.
Is it that you have a problem beat matching or after you've beat matched, the song still doesn't go?

benhamactive:
Yeah am Nigerian. You have just boosted my confidence tho..lol..am at least rehearsing almost every night just to get my playlist on point. Thanks for your advice. One love.

YH..... As i said, just do you and you're good to go.

benhamactive:
I am an upcoming Dj that resides in Maryland,USA. I joined the forum in order to get tips from professionals that will teach me how to DJ better. I have my first big gig coming up in 2weeks a 50yr old B-Day party which will consist of mostly Nigerians. I am somewhat nervous because I feel like I don't know what to open with Eventho there will be a live band as well. Can anyone give me some ideas on how to make this party a memorable one. Thank you

HEY MEHN.... FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO DJ AT THE PARTY THEN YOU'RE GOOD. WHOEVER EMPLOYED YOU TO DJ AT THE PARTY MUST HAVE SEEN SOMETHING IN YOU TO HAVE SELECTED YOU.
TALK TO YOUR EMPLOYER TO KNOW THE SORTA SONGS HE'LL BE EXPECTING FROM YOU, THE SORTA PEOPLE YOU'LL BE EXPECTING AT THE PARTY AND JUST BE YOURSELF.
THESE DAYS, MOST PEOPLE (YOUNG AND OLD) KNOW ALL THESE POPULAR NEW SCHOOL NIGERIAN SONGS (I GUESS YOU'RE A NIGERIAN RIGHT?) AND THEY'LL DANCE TO THEM. SO AS I SAID, DO YOUR THING AND I'M SURE YOU'LL WOW THE CROWD.

My bosses @haryomikun & @DJMCOTTY , abeg make we calm down ehn.

@xfire also waiting on you sir.

@haywire even purchased a controller coz he wants to UP his game.

DJMCOTTY:
All these ur rules and points do they apply to REALITY DJS? All I see is virtual DJs,

All these apply to reality. We mostly mention virtual dj coz that's what's mostly accessible to us and that's the most common dj software in Nigeria( I think.... Correct me if I'm wrong).

And @4C2215131 talked severally about moving from the comfort zone of using virtual dj without any controllers and stepping up our game to actually using controllers/turntables to mix music. He even mentioned crowd reading and so many other things which aren't gonna be taught in virtual dj.

Thank you.

sconp:
Lol, that year I beenknow guy wey dey use both head and mouth

Lol..... Where the guy dey nau.make he come teach us

haryomikun:
Sure lol. Am learning from 'scratch' lol. Trying to perfect the baby scratch for now. Am actually better at it than I was yesterday lol. Plus the fingers on the jogwheel thing. I never still decide whether to place middle finger alone or middle and ring finger

Lol... Dunno what to say sha. Just find the one that suits you even if na your head you go take dey scratch

4C2215131:
While scratching is a hallmark of DJs (especially Hip-Hop DJs), it's does not alone make you a good DJ. In fact the highest paid DJs in the world are not scratch DJs, most are European DJS into the house,dance, trance, grunge, dub-step and techno scenes.

So, master the art of "mixing" very well, add scratching skills to that and you should get your own toilet paper cos then you're the shiit!

Lool..... The shiit.

I agree with what youve said . Just feel that scratching adds a whole new flavor to your set/mix.

haryomikun:
Mehn scratching on this DDJ SB2 no easy oh. Abi is it because of the smaller jogwheels? My morale just dey down since morning because of this. Will I be able to perform better if I used real vinyl?

Cc 4C2215131
Ezzylee

Guy, won't be able to help on this one. Haven't had experience with any controller before.
Buh I think you should find a particular style/way with which you'll place your fingers on the jog wheel so as to be comfortable manipulating the jog wheel with ease.

haryomikun:
Picked up and being used right now!

Mayorall come again make I kiss you

P.S..... If you're the man I met today who said he recognized me as the DJ on this thread, mention me
