How to learn DJing skills

How to learn DJ skills?

After many years of DJ work experience and many years of teaching experience, Mr. Tao Tao, a senior technical consultant at a leading DJ school, concluded that to learn DJ skills, you must first master the basic skills. What is the so-called basic skills? In fact, Speaking of which, many people know that they should match the beats and be familiar with the four and eight beats.

DJ Tao Tao emphasized why it is necessary to emphasize these two points in basic skills. I am afraid that it is a measure of the solidity of a DJ’s technology. If even the beat is not accurate, the subsequent mixing technology will not be the same as the basic skills. Just don't learn well. Often, many people who are studying DJ say that it is almost enough to be correct. This statement and idea are wrong. The shot matching must be 100% accurate, not 99% possible. To be more serious, the shot matching , you can be right a thousand times, but you can't be wrong once, otherwise you will fail when you are DJing (the time of the two songs does not match), and you will be ridiculed by your peers, let alone go to work. That is simply impossible. Without such strict requirements, there is no way to learn DJ skills well.

Let’s talk about why you need to be familiar with four eight beats, because when two songs are mixed and changed, it is a mixture of four eight beats and four eight beats. If there are four eight beats in a row, If you are not sure about it, the mixing effect will be very unpleasant and cannot achieve coordination. Just like when a singer sings, his singing voice and his accompaniment cannot be integrated with each other. Think about it and find the result. How bad would it be. What kind of results will this bring to the mixing: the main melody of the next song comes out in advance before one song has been sung, or the main melody of one song does not have the main melody of the next song. Didn't come out.

For all those who want to learn DJ skills well, these two points are the most basic and final requirements.

I have solidly learned these two points, plus DJ Tao Tao has studied and created his own shortcut method and DJ pan mixing technology for many years (what is pan mixing technology: the so-called pan mixing technology Mixing means mixing dance music with the same tone together. This expands the mixing range of dance music. Even dance music with different styles can be mixed together (slow rock cannot be mixed with house because the BPM is too different). (big) How to listen, how to coordinate and how to listen during the mixing process. This also saves friends who are learning DJs and DJ friends who are doing live music a lot of trouble in arranging songs, because there are too many dance songs with the same tone, as long as I mixed them one by one and accidentally released a set of more than a dozen songs). Learning to DJ is very easy. Many old DJs in many schools do not know how to do this, which often brings a lot of trouble to students, causing many people to fail to learn!

Only by grasping the above can you learn DJ skills
