What's your opinion on quick mixing?
Oooo sandwiches sound great lmao
J'adore
Nah, I'll let the whole song ride if the audience is digging it, if they don't then oh well, the artist didn't spend hrs, weeks or month's creating a track just to have it chopped in half, that's just my opinion
People don't want to hear quick mixing at weddings. Everybody knows.
Are you serious! The technology today allows anyone to be a DJ and BPM display makes it even easier.
Not gonna lie cutting off half of “oh, we’re half way there” is kind of hilarious. Not sure I wanna be the one to try it, but it love to see the video of someone doing it!
I take an in the middle approach that works well in North Carolina. People here get tired of songs when they’ve heard or sung the chorus twice. I typically play the best 2 verses and 2 choruses of each song. The only exceptions are songs that aren’t working and the few songs that people want to hear the whole thing. My dance floors stay packed and I don’t get those dirty looks from people when I cut the song too early and I don’t lose energy by playing the whole song.
right there with you son the ooohs

How do you do quick mix?
I’m challenging myself to be able to DJ for a party within 10 days and your videos are helping me so much 💪
I live for the Ooos too. But even more so I live for the bump. If the dance floor is busy and bumping, I'm a happy camper.
Beginner question what is quick mixing editing software
How's it going Brother Nick.. A little trivia question for you, what DJ was the first to do Quick Mixing?? There's alot of Dj's out there but this one is from San Francisco and was the only DJ to be Live on the Radio while he was actually DJing at the Club. He has hundreds of mixes pressed on vinyl and CDs. Can you Guess?
Okay, I've got to ask… where can I find the short edits?
Tried and true since Grandmaster Flash invented it.
Paradise by the dashboard light!!!! Love that song…
Did Nick just make a Meatloaf reference???

Best mixing video ever!
What Nick does with quick mixing is an absolute artform and 100% a performance rather than just playing songs, but as a bog standard UK pub DJ just starting out and playing to crowds of ten to thirty people it's really a big risk for me to quick mix out of a song that half the room is bopping to and maybe send all the dancing ladies outside for a cigarette break instead. Even from tonight's gig I resisted the urge to quick mix out early after one chorus and they were still drunkenly singing along to the third chorus and loving it, with more people dancing than at the first chorus.
man you are the best !! i love the way you explain so in details thanks man.
You are so right. I have watched many of your videos. And you are SO right. Even here in Denmark , you will be right 👍😍
I would like to quick mix, but I normally DJ for 5 hours minimum, it would be too much for me
In social dancing where people dance in couples ( like tango, kizomba, salsa, bachata).. Quick mixing is not the best ideea. Athough, i agree that in kizomba is best not to play the entire song. People like to dance on the best parts.
Hey brother your videos are dope I enjoy them they make me laugh. I’ve got a pro tip for ya. People don’t “take” shits they “leave” them….I hope people aren’t taking shits that’s disgusting 😂 so it’s “bro I gotta find a bathroom so I can leave a shit somewhere” not “bro I gotta find a bathroom so I can take a shit” that implies one is gonna take that shit outta the toilet and bring it to the mall or something 😂
You missed one and the most important tip. Organizing your music. Most people do not quick mix because it takes more than 40 seconds to find the next song. You need to have your bangers organized so you don’t have Serato face looking for the next song. None of this can happen without your library being organized.
All of my Tech House music is 3 minutes long. Rarely some Tech House tracks are below 3 minutes.
Also, it takes too long and costs money to down load 6 to 7 minute tracks.
Short Edits. Where can I buy them? I need to change or just add another tool to my bag of tools. Thank you!
