This is a video designed to teach one specific skill for DJ'ing ... creating a DJ mix using Ableton Live software. It is a very detailed examination that guides the viewer step by step in the process of arranging tracks, cross-fading, and adding automation.

This particular method should not be considered to be appropriate for a live DJ performance, although Ableton Live can be used differently for that purpose. This is only for producing a studio mix. I'm working on a separate video right now to cover live performances with Ableton.

Unfortunately, as of early 2014, YouTube annotations are not visible to mobile viewers, only to users watching on desktop browsers. I use annotations quite frequently to post clarifications and additional information during the video. For the best educational experience, you might prefer to watch this video in a desktop browser rather than on mobile, unless YouTube eventually fixes the mobile annotation deficiency.

Also, if you're looking for a video that helps you understand live DJ'ing using CD players or turntables, I'd recommend that you check out this mix:

In order to put together a mix using Ableton Live, as described in this video, you must first understand how to "warp" tracks in the software. I have a separate tutorial designed to teach that specific process, at this link:

The third video in this mini-series, which talks about mastering your mix, and marketing it on the internet, is available here:

I'm also working on several other "DJ'ing in Ableton" videos, which when tied together, will teach you how to use this powerful software for some pretty impressive performances. Some of them are online now, and others are pending. For a complete organized index list of all my music-related videos here on YouTube, go to this link:

On a side note, I get a lot of requests from people who want me to review their DJ mixes. Unfortunately, I am extremely busy. I'm already turning down paid projects, and I don't have time to review mixes. I wish it was otherwise.
