Electronic Music Mixing: From Beginner to DJ

Electronic music mixing: from beginner to DJ

“Dear students, we have reached the end of the course, it is time to apply what we saw because the journey is just beginning and we will be in contact for the steps that follow. What did we learn? The importance of knowing your musical genre and, above all, of looking for a lot of music all the time. With all the music under your arm (and your playlist), we saw how it mixes on a turntable (the most basic) to understand how it mixes into everything else: CD, USB and Traktor / Serato. No matter what genre you choose, the important thing is that you are a great exponent within your genre, for me the most important thing is that there are more djs of all genres because that makes each genre progress. All djs (of all genres) what we do is create playlists and refine them, that's why I tell you this: listen to the playlists of your colleagues, listen to their mixes, contribute in a respectful and constructive way, learn from them and do not take too much your mistakes seriously. Write down your doubts, so that you are very punctual when we are in contact and can give you a more accurate feedback. Also read the questions of your colleagues who may have already asked the same question as you, that's what the forums are for. There you will find many answers to things that will arise along the way. Thank you very much for encouraging you to take the course, it makes me very happy when someone dares to learn to mix. If you liked the course, recommend it and also write down things to put together a second and third, more specialized course. I hope we can continue to grow in this together.”

“Final project We will have an executive summary of everything we saw in the course. We talk about my influences, about the records I listened to, that formed me and those that encouraged me to want to mix. Then we talk about what a DJ does in his day to day, which is also important. Then we had a marathon task which was to talk of the genesis of electronic music and the different electronic genres that still exist today. Then we did another task, not so marathon but important, which is how music is built. A superficial explanation of musical basics and that, respecting those rules, what you...”
