Learn to DJ using Pitch-Controlled CD Players

I get lots of emails from all over the world, from people asking me advice about learning to DJ. I've taught quite a few people the basics of DJ'ing during one-on-one sessions, but that kind of teaching is not feasible for a global audience. So I've always been interested in putting together some good quality videos that I could share on YouTube, to help people out.

Although I've put a few videos online in the last year or two, this is the first time that I've done any about using CD players for mixing music. I've just put two videos online, which will be of interest to a lot of potential DJ's out there, or even to experienced DJ's who are curious to learn additional mixing techniques. Here's a photo of part of the setup that I used for this project (click on it to see it in more detail):



Basically, what I've done here is that I've recorded an hour-long tech-house set. Since I have a weekly EDM radio show, called Subterranean Homesick Grooves, I decided to use the 150th episode of the show as the centerpiece for these two tutorial videos. I recorded the show on a laptop while DJ'ing on a pair of Pioneer CDJ-2000 pitch-controlled CD players (attached to a DJM-600 mixer), and at the same time, I also recorded the DJ's "cue" audio feed. I filmed all of this with three high-definition video cameras.

Once I had all of those files dumped into my video editor, I turned them into a pair of videos. The audio track for one of the videos is the "master" output that the dance floor would have heard (which I used as episode 150 for the radio show). The audio track for the other video has the master output in the right channel, and the DJ's cue audio in the left channel, so the viewer will hear things exactly the same way that a DJ hears when performing. And although I used three camera views, the predominant view is straight down on the CD players and mixer, so the viewer can see exactly how I'm manipulating the effects and controls on all of the equipment. The "DJ's Cue Perspective" version of the video also starts off with about twenty-two minutes of technical explanations, to further explain the equipment and technical aspects. And of course, both videos are high-def, so you can full-screen them and see the equipment in pretty good detail.



Here's a link to the show on SoundCloud, which you can download if you want:






Here's the video which presents the making of SHG 150 from the DJ's perspective:





And here's the video which presents the making of the show from the dance floor's audio perspective (the master output signal on the mixer):




As I mentioned at the end of these videos, if you find these to be useful and you'd like to see more like this, follow me on Twitter and send me a tweet to let me know what you think of the videos. If I see some serious interest there, I'll make the time to produce some more videos like this. I'm also currently working on a couple of other DJ'ing videos which cover techniques for beat-mixing, the use of various mixer effects, and several other DJ-related topics. They should be online in a couple weeks.

Thanks for your interest. And please, if you find these videos to be useful, share them (or share a link to this blog post) on your facebook walls and twitter feeds. I really appreciate the support!

SHG Radio Show, Episode 150

Welcome to this week's edition of Subterranean Homesick Grooves™, a weekly electronica-based radio show presented originally on CHMA FM 106.9 at Mount Allison University in Atlantic Canada (but expanded to a distribution on other terrestrial radio stations), and also distributed as a global podcast through iTunes and numerous other sites. The show is normally programmed and mixed by Jonathan Clark (as DJ Bolivia), although some weeks feature guest mixes by other Canadian DJ's. The show encompasses many sub-genres within the realm of electronic dance music, but the main focus is definitely on minimal and tech-house, and a small amount of progressive, trance, & techno. Liner notes for this episode (SHG 150) can be seen below.

Para la información en español, vaya aquí.

By the way, if you're looking for DJ mixes in styles other than progressive/tech-house, check out www.djbolivia.ca/mixes.html. That page has a number of mainstream/top40 dance mixes (the "Workout Mix" series), as well as some deep house, drum and bass, and other styles.

Here are some photos from today's recording session:

Audio Recording Tutorial #01 - Basic Recording with a HD Camera and a Wave Recorder

I’ve generally been using my DJ Bolivia YouTube channel for educational purposes.   My goal has always been to feature videos teaching about a number of music-related topics:  DJ’ing, using audio editors such as Ableton and Cubase and ProTools and other DAW’s, production of dance music from scratch, and the occasional music video.  But one additional group of videos that I’ve wanted to put together has been a series on basic audio recording techniques.

I just put together the first video in that series.  This one deals with very simple audio recording using the microphone on a HD video camera, and using a portable audio recording device.  It talks about some of the basic types of processing that a studio engineer would put on an audio track (particularly on vocals), which includes reverb, delay, chorus, and EQ’ing, although it only goes into any detail on the last of those four topics.  I predominantly use Audacity to illustrate some basic concepts, with just a bit of use of Audition and VLC to help out with some other tasks.  Essentially, I’ve recorded a song (acoustic guitar and singing) and then extracted the audio from the recording devices, then I did some very simple processing in order to come up with a better quality audio file.

Here’s the video:

The video touches on quite a few different topics that a musician should become familiar with if you want to do any recording.  Here is a list of some suggested additional reference sites that you might want to check out, in order to learn more about topics that I mentioned:

If you want to download the audio files that I was using in this video, to better hear the audio in your own home studio setup, here’s a link to a zipped folder containing the relevant files and a _readme.txt file which describes the contents:

http://www.djbolivia.ca/tutorials/audiorecording01.rar

The next couple of videos, which I hope to have online by the end of February 2013, will discuss different types of microphones, the use of external sound cards to help get audio into a computer, and multi-track recording either though several simultaneous inputs coming into the computer simultaneously, or through doing multiple tracks in layers.  I’ll also try to get some of my friends who are better guitar players or vocalists to help me out!

More advanced videos in this series (which could take me a couple years, because I can think of about thirty or forty topics that I’d like to go into eventually) will cover things such as recording full bands live, microphone placement for drum kits, and detailed explanation of effects such as delay, chorus, reverb, flanging, phasing, and many more.  I’ll eventually cover EQ’ing in far more depth, so you’ll have a better understanding of how to combine EQ’ing with proper placement of various instruments within a stereo field to add clarity to your mixes.  I’ll cover compression and basic mastering.  I’ll cover various pieces of studio equipment, such as studio monitors and DI boxes.  In short, there’s a lot of stuff that I can talk about, and eventually I’ll be doing videos where an entire band records a full multi-track song from scratch.

Anyway, this is an overwhelming amount of information.  If you just watch this first video and then try to learn everything at all the links that I’ve provided above, that should keep you busy round-the-clock for a week or so.    And as always, if you have friends that might be interested in learning about stuff that I’ve covered in this video, I appreciate if you can email them or share a link to this blog post.

Upbeat Workout Music, Mix #10

As I'm writing this post, on Sunday evening, I'm about to start a bartending shift. Actually, it will be my last ever bar shift at this fine establishment (Ducky's) because they're closing after tonight, and moving to a new location, after being in this spot for 23 years. But before start making any drinks, I wanted to get this latest workout mix posted.

Incidentally, I was doing some work tidying up my main website a week or so ago, and I did up a simple page to make it easier for people to download all the workout mixes from a single source. Click here to see it.


Here's a Direct Link to download this mix (right-click):
http://www.chma.fm/DJ_Bolivia_-_Workout_Mix_10.mp3

[Note: some people have had problems downloading mp3's publicized here, especially if you're viewing this post through Facebook. If that's the case, click here for help & suggestions].


The mix is a continuous music mix which is an hour long, and anyone can download it. This mix is for demo purposes only, and commercial resale or redistribution is not permitted.


Here are Track Listings for Workout Mix #10:

01. RAC feat Penguin Prison, "Hollywood" (Felix Da Housecat Remix).

Note: If you're trying to track down remixes listed above and they sound different than what you're hearing in this mix, it's because I do a lot of specific editing of my own to each track before I put the mix together, and there is a lot of extra percussion added.

I've got lots of other upbeat electronica mixes available on my DJ website, on that same Mix Downloads page. Admittedly, there aren't too many mixes there [yet] that are exclusively club dance tracks, but there are a lot of house/trance mixes that I find to be pretty good to listen to when I'm going running. Or driving. Or doing any sort of mindless task where I just want some energetic beats to listen to. Most of them are about an hour long, to fit onto a standard CD. Check them out, maybe you'd enjoy some of them? And click here if you're interested in one of my favorites, a massive four-hour mix that I made of classic dance tracks from the late 1990's and early 2000's.

If you like this mix, please post this link on your Facebook walls, or to Twitter! If you're a member of any sort of workout or fitness website or message board, feel free to post a link to this post there. I appreciate your help sharing this around!

Upbeat Workout Music, Mix #09

As I'm writing this post, on Sunday evening, I'm sitting on a sunny balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm eight floors up, so the traffic going by underneath is pretty easy to hear. And in the past hour, I've heard vehicles go by that were blasting three separate songs that I put onto this mix. I guess that means they're popular.

Incidentally, I was doing some work tidying up my main website a few days ago, and I did up a simple page to make it easier for people to download all the workout mixes from a single source. Click here to see it.

Or driving. Or doing any sort of mindless task where I just want some energetic beats to listen to. Most of them are about an hour long, to fit onto a standard CD. Check them out, maybe you'd enjoy some of them? And click here if you're interested in one of my favorites, a massive four-hour mix that I made of classic dance tracks from the late 1990's and early 2000's.

If you like this mix, please post this link on your Facebook walls, or to Twitter! If you're a member of any sort of workout or fitness website or message board, feel free to post a link to this post there. I appreciate your help sharing this around!
