Add in a lot of the videos seen on IG and Tiktok. Guy/girl in the center with a group of people around dancing to pre-recorded mixes while the "dj" does a whole bunch of knob turning. Shit is beyond annoying and infuriating
Totally forgot bout the rotary mixers. I'm used to standard mixers but what you said makes a lot of sense. Too bad most of the videos we see with knob turning got people using standard mixers where they're fiddling with the channel knobs but no effects are heard.That dude he might actually be legit, looks like he has a Allen & Heath rotary. He spins deep house, or that jazzy mushroom house style of music. Lot of DJ's that spin this genre prefer knob mixers, especially old school house music DJs. Bending and altering the tones and taking out the highs can change the whole song.

I hate how some of these DJs are faking it for social media props and taking advantage of people not knowing any better. If you look at this initially, you'd think he made an amazing transition between songs but if you actually look closely, he's just touching knobs for no reason and the volume on his channel 2 fader is turned all the way down![]()
You can look at the waveforms on the screen and tell if he's actually mixing or not. He was legit on the transition and the blend.The transition was real, look at the computer screen and initially chan 2 was turned up, he turned it off about the :20 second mark. The knob touching is a bit much though, nice set up he got.
I was referring more to the transition to a preloaded track and all the extras he was doing when it went to the 2nd and 3rd songs was when the channel was turned down. I should've been more direct at the parts I was getting atThe transition was real, look at the computer screen and initially chan 2 was turned up, he turned it off about the :20 second mark.

so shes been faking the funk big time and got exposed!She wanted to use the sync button to automatically match the tempo of the songs on each deck and for some reason it wasn't working. So she was forced to have to manually match song tempo. A real DJ knows how to do it by ear, can count bars to line up mixes properly and also read the BPMs to know what can be done to put the songs in alignment to mix songs without clashing.
You can tell when DJs use the sync button when a song suddenly speeds up or slows down throwing off how the song naturally sounds. You can manually speed up or slow down songs in the same manner but having manual control allows you to match tempo more subtly without the audience being aware of what's going on. I learned how to DJ on vinyl well before sync technology so I already had the fundamentals in place and see the sync button as a crutch that too many newer DJs rely on and abuse.
I also think her issue was a lack of knowing how her equipment works. Maybe she had pre-recorded mixes and was forced to actually have to mix in real-time but doesn't know how to.
Sounds like a very plausible explanation to me. Personally, I don't know how to use the sync function on my gear. However, that cuts both ways, because there are more than a few things I don't know how to use on my DDJSX-2. Yet still, no matter if I'm on it or vinyl I'm as strong as ever on matching some beats together!!!She wanted to use the sync button to automatically match the tempo of the songs on each deck and for some reason it wasn't working.

Pretty much. A lot of the DJs who spin EDM are notorious for using the sync button or pre-recorded mixes. They get away with it because most in the audience don't have their ears trained to hear the subtle nuances or know what the knobs on the decks actually do. In this case she got exposed cuz she doesn't know how to actually mix live.so shes been faking the funk big time and got exposed!

I personally never use the sync button. I tried it when I got my 1st controller and quickly saw how it can create bad mixes because of how off it can make songs sound when pitched up or down rapidly. I like having control of the tempo so I can make my song transitions flow especially when I'm mixing in songs the audience wouldn't expect to hearSounds like a very plausible explanation to me.

She is mixing tho. I think the knobs touching is just some shit people learned to look active or keep themselves engaged . Idk, but it’s really annoying.yeah, the unnecessary knob twisting was all I needed to see. On the mixer the three knobs per channel are highs, mids, and lows.....when she twisted the knobs it never affected the sounds...I call BS on this one
The first transition is real. The second was pre-recorded.The transition was real, look at the computer screen and initially chan 2 was turned up, he turned it off about the :20 second mark. The knob touching is a bit much though, nice set up he got.
I vote for her as the greatest DJ of all time.
Fight me.
This is another clip from Coachella where she actually complains that she has to mix by ear. A DJ is supposed to know how to mix by ear. That's the part of the job. Plus the music she's spinning doesn't have a wide range in tempo so it's not like she'd have to do much work if she knew how to properly use her ears
