The Key Mix : Djing & Key Matching Video Tutorial 2 of 5

by How To DJ on Jul.03, 2009, under DJ Equipment, DJ Software, DJ Tips, DJ Tutorials, DJ Videos, DJ eBooks, How To DJ, Learn To DJ

YouTube Preview Image

Thanks to Andy Touch Fingers from www.learnhowtodj.com for this video.

Transcription:
In the second video of our 5-part video series, Andy demonstrates how to listen for the melody, hum the key / tonal center. He shows how to match the key of a track by comparing the tonal center with a note played on a computer piano (for reference). Andy also recommends writing down every track in your playlist down so that you know which key they are all in … so your entire set is planned appropriately.
The second part of this video is an explanation that a track can have more than one tonal center, and how to find the best key for tracks like that.

Andy demonstrates that using the bassline is the best thing to listen for as a starting point in finding a key.

  • Music Basics
  • DJing Equipment setup
  • Dj Mixing/Beatmatching (REALLY detailed here)
  • Where to buy music & what to look for

Free DJ Contracts Templates, Examples & Downloads

by How To DJ on May.25, 2009, under DJ Books, DJ Tips, DJ Tutorials, DJ eBooks, How To DJ, dj contracts

What’s in a typical DJ contract? Well, to understand what is in a dj contract we need to first understand what DJ contracts are any why they are necessary.

A contract is defined as:

” an exchange of promises between two or more parties to do, or refrain from doing, an act, which resulting contract is enforceable in a court of law.”

(source)

Basically, a contract is an agreement that is enforceable in the courtrooms… so, if anyone breaks the rules outlined in the contract, they can be held liable for not living up to their end of the bargain.

Whatever you’re doing, it is best practice to work with a contract. On the lower end of the scale, contracts may not make sense. When there is a larger monetary investment involved, it is very important to ensure that both parties get their agreement in writing so that everyone knows what to expect, and also to ensure that both parties get a fair deal and to make sure that no one gets ripped off.

What is in a DJ Contract?

DJs and booking agents may require certain things to be outlined in a contract, including:

  • Payment Terms
  • Fees
  • Room, Board, and Transportation details
  • Equipment Requirements
  • Date of Event/Time Slot Confirmation
  • Artist Riders
  • Any Additional Requirements
  • Terms that breach the contract

Clubs, Event Organizers, and Promoters can require certain things from the artists as well:

  • Confirmation of date
  • DJs obligation to perform
  • Use of Artist in promotional materials
  • Additional requirements and assurances
  • Terms that will breach the contract

Usually the venue/promoters cannot do anything if the DJ plays terrible, misses the gig due to illness or travel complications. Most DJs / agencies will require a portion of the money upfront, in order to hedge against playing then never getting paid.

Whether you are a DJ or a promoter, do not be intimidated by contracts. Contracts between DJs and event organizers are not meant to intimidate or deter anyone from working together.. they are simply a form of agreement to ensure that everyone gets what they ask for.

NOTE: If you need full DJ Contracts and more detailed information on how to draw up any type of DJ Contract, we recommend purchasing Danny Rampling’s eBook, which covers DJ Contracts in full detail, and includes samples and templates you can use to draw up your own DJ contracts. It’s only about $30, and will definitely save you from the pain and suffering of writing out your own contracts.  Click here for purchase info.

Beginner DJ Mistakes

3 Mistakes Beginner DJs Make

Here are just a few words of wisdom from the Benjamin Ellis , President and CEO of the successful DJ Video tutorial series

Mistake #1: “Learning How To DJ From Books Is Too Difficult…”

This is the number one culprit that most new DJ’s fall victim too. They think they can pick up a book and learn how to DJ overnight. I’m sorry to say it just doesn’t happen like that. If there is one thing I’ve learned that I can pass on to you is that without actually seeing how it’s done, books on how to DJ are pretty much useless.

Mistake #2: I can learn how to DJ by using my friends DJ equipment…”

This is another big hindrance and probably the most unbeknown to beginner DJ’s. This catches most new DJ’s off guard because learning DJ skills and techniques on another persons DJ equipment will hinder your development to personalize and create your own style. Why? Because you can only use their equipment when they’re available. Besides, owning your own DJ equipment allows you explore your creativity on your own time when that spectacular idea pops in your head!.

Mistake #3 I’ll just buy some cheap DJ equipment and learn on that…”

Using “cheap DJ equipment” is basically like committing a crime in the DJ community. Avoid this mistake at all costs. There are many reasons why you should but here are the biggest reasons. (1) Belt drive turntables are worthless for DJ’s and they are not made for DJing. (2) Using cheap DJ equipment will only throw your DJ skills and techniques off. (3) Buy the right DJ the first time because like I’ve told tens of thousands of people “DJing is easy when you have the right equipment.”

Avoiding these three main mistakes
virtually guarantees your success.

And just incase you were wondering I’ve made these mistakes before including some not mentioned. But after I learned from these three mistakes I was able to avoid future mistakes and “develop my own style” after a few short sessions.

My friend … if you let me, I along will my partners Ill Vibe Collective, can show you DJ skills and techniques by teaching you basics and then showing you variations of the same techniques to take you to the next level. Once have those skills down pat other skills will come much faster and thus the learning curve is shortened.

“Hi, I just recently signed up to view your video tutorials and also have gotten myself some turntables (Technics SL1200MKII) and a mixer (Numark DM1002X MK2). As lazy as I am to writing people online I just want to give a quick thanks on the videos. The explanation on the scratching was phenomenal! Once again, thanks so much on such a great site & keep up the great work.”

John, Canada

“…We can all read a book and look at pictures, but to have videos to watch; showing you how particular moves are created is second to none. Thank you for saving me from a DJ-ing stalemate and providing me with something more to aspire to.

Ben, US

Jeremiah, UK

This site is too cool for the DJ’s around the world and especially its video tutorials which helps a beginner to become a professional. Believe me it was same in my case.

BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR FUTURE .”

DJ Krush, India

“I was searching for the site that could answer my simple questions about DJing. This site is very useful for me as a beginner (I have my turntable and mixer for 2 months). I found on your site very useful, the video, “Making Your Scratches Sound Better”. I have a question, do you have more videos like this? When I’m looking at video my learning is better.”

Peter, Poland

How To Connect DJ Peripherals and Devices

by How To DJ on Mar.13, 2009, under DJ Equipment, DJ Gear, DJ Tips, DJ Tricks, DJ Tutorials, DJ Videos, DJ eBooks, How To DJ, Learn To DJ

Connecting Extra DJ Devices and Peripherals to Your Mixer

Here’s an overview of the best methods for connecting other devices to your mixer, including recording devices, laptops, and more.

Source: idjondemand


Other components that get connected to the mixer are CD players, mini disc players, MP3 players, digital 8 tracks (like my Roland VS 880) and PCs if you’re daring.

This set up runs along the same vein as connecting your turntables however, instead of connecting these components to the PHONO INPUT they get connected to the LINE INPUT.

Use the LINE/PHONO button or switch on your mixer to access either the CD player that is connected to the LINE INPUT or the turntable that is connected to the PHONO INPUT. You can have a CD player playing on CH1 making sure you have the LINE INPUT selected and mix it with a turntable on CH2 making sure you have the PHONO INPUT selected. However, you can’t access both components at the same time on the same channel.

DJ Tutorial Tip: Remember connect like colors from your RCA leads to the color connections to the mixer.

Connecting DJ Needles and Cartridges

How To Connect DJ Needles and DJing Cartridges

Here’s a simple, straightforward explanation on how to set up your needles and cartridges for best use when DJing.

Source: idjondemand


This is simple. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on connecting your needles and adjusting the tone arm, anti-skate and height adjustment. They usually come with different settings according to application. I bought the Shure M44-7 and the directions were very easy to follow. It told me step by step on how to set up the tone arm for playing back records only. Because I sample a lot I did not need to use the Battle DJ settings.

So if you are going to be doing tricks there is one setting and if you’re not there is another setting. Instructions come with the needles when you buy them. If not let me know and I’ll find out for you. Click on the “Contact Me” link from the menu below.

DJ Tutorial Tip: Remember to take into consideration what type of DJing you will be doing. There are different needles for different types of DJing but all needles and cartridges fit turntable tone arms.

Some needles come mounted on a head shell while with others you have to mount the needle to the head shell then connect the head shell to the tone arm. Other needles are built on one platform so all you have to do is connect it to the tone arm.

DJ Tutorial Tip: Follow the manufacturers instructions and you should do fine.

Done with setting up?
