How do I become a successful techno DJ?

Redpill me on this

It has nothing to do with technical ability or music sense and everything to do with style, force of personality, confections, etc.

Like most things.

lol keep hating loosers. Everything looks easy when you're not in the driver seat.

What could possibly change in a track by fiddling with knobs if they didn't produce the tracks themselves? Nothing. Hiphop DJs at least know how to scratch and beatmatch different genres for mashups.

become a trannie first, you will increase your chances of success by 1500%

So I have to cut off my pee pee or can I just wear a wig?

Step 1: get a time machine
Step 2: go back to 2010

Some girl that went to my high school did it. Complete basic bitch roastie. Pretty sure she just sucked and fucked her way into the job.

Techno is unironically more popular now than then because of the edm hype cycle. Though you’re not wrong
Probably knee pads are big in entertainment industry

Great set Amelie, Charlotte and Peggy Gou are the only female djs I really fuck with

switch to trance

Trance is fucking garbage mate

>Trance
2000 called. Try techno

It's very important to have boobs to be a successful dj, you can keep you pee pee if you want, more spicy.

Kek based and redpilled, fuck some of those cercle shows are so fucking aesthetic. Also this video kinda inspired me, maybe I’ll jist buy a mask and be on of those gimmick mask djs.
Kek guess I’m switching to an all Big Mac diet like sergey, man boobs are alright right?

sorry but this is talent

Sergej shaved with a wig... who knows, maybe it could work

People really misunderstand what DJs even do. They mix songs together. That's basically it. You mix and match whatever stuff so the transition from song to song is smooth. If they didn't do that, the song would just end and the next song start from the beginning. There's quite a lot of nuances to doing that, but there isn't any reason for a DJ to be on a big stage doing that stuff, because it probably isn't very interesting to look at. Here's a DJ talking about this very thing youtube.com/watch?v=U3o6Ows9RfE

And here's another video just for reference of what the mixing looks like, you'll notice bits and specific sounds of the previous song still playing on top of the new one, where it becomes very seamless youtube.com/watch?v=izA0rd7QwVM

>What could possibly change in a track by fiddling with knobs if they didn't produce the tracks themselves?
I don't really understand what you mean by this. It's coming off a sound file or physical medium either way

I really don't undertand this shit at all. I have no idea what the fuck these people do, nor how Djs get famous or popular. I was a club kid for a while and met some famous Djs but have no idea who the fuck they are and all that shit just sounds the same to me.

You realize any good DJ knows how to read a crowd and adjust his set?

lol, really?

Think about the basic elements of an individual track which can be affected with a mixer:
BPM
Highs
Mids
Lows
Vocals
Pitch
Key
Volume

Consider that highs/mids/lows are the simple way to break a track out (more or less) into the separate instruments that make it. And each of these channels is potentially subject to high-pass filters, low pass filters, & effects like reverb, echo (and > 1000+ other weird stuff) at a bare minimum. And all three channels simultaneously are subject to those modifiers as well as tempo.

Now consider that when mixing multiple tracks, of which competent DJ's will use up to 4 simultaneously, all of these elements on each track on each channel of the track need to be working harmoniously to create a decent mix.

This is the BARE MINIMUM capability of free DJ software and entry-level mixers, a professional rig will incorporate things like live MIDI and all of this can be routed through an infinite number of midi controllers like keyboards/synths & effects generators.

And your competence with exploring the infinite amount of possibilities on a single track, let alone 4 layered tracks, means nothing if you can't read a crowd and dynamically change the mood to take them on the journey they are looking for, without telling you what it is.

Being a good DJ takes a looooot of practice, and actually the most time you will spend is constantly digging searching for the right/fresh tunes and figuring out how they can be mixed, aside from working on your competency to dynamically change ordering when performing live. Being a shit DJ is as easy as making a playlist and fading one track into another, but nobody is going to pay you for those skills and nobody will be throwing wet panties at you at the end of your set unless you can do the rest of the things...

You're right.
Plus people wants to see boobs, too.

The short answer is by having lots of connections, just like everything else in the music industry. The replies saying kneepads are unironically the right answer.

I was at one point really hyped about being a DJ after watching a bunch of DJ Hero and DMC videos, but then I found out how you're basically fucked unless you're chad (like what said) and now it's something on the backburner after I finish some of my other personal projects. As far as techno goes, you can play any genre as long as it's electro house or whatever the shit is that Noisia plays nowadays. You might get lucky and find a "retro" club that plays something older and better, but by that point you already used up your luck for becoming successful, so it's really unlikely. Having said that, finding a club that plays old/niche shit might make things easier, but you'll never get deadmau5-tier playing things for a niche crowd as far as "success" is concerned. You might have a great time and really enjoy your life, but you'll always be small-time.

I didn't claim otherwise. I was actually going to mention that but then I didn't bother

Anyway I think this video is pretty good for seeing what fiddling with the knobs do, since the soundscape is pretty simple, at 26:15 for instance where there's a bit more of a close-up of it, one can see how it will affect various frequencies and levels youtube.com/watch?v=0vN9i0BDIR8

Cool vids, Boiler Room always kicks ass

amelie lens is asking 40k for the 2019 festival season

Saying this is like buying a coin at the very ATH.

I would add to that, that simply being a smoking hot girl with a bit of mixing ability, good tune selection and revealing clothing seems to go an awful long way these days, sadly. But then again, who doesn't want something nice on the eyes while they're getting fucked up and dancing in a nightclub?

And sure, making it bigtime as a DJ is a bit of a pipedream, but even being small time most definitely has it's rewards. Pussy on tap, free drugs on tap, everyone is (or wants to be) your friend, and it's pretty much the stepping stone to producing your own tunes which is one avenue into international touring. And that has much bigger rewards, like free entry and VIP treatment to all sorts of crazy festivals all over the planet.

go back in time to suck scooter brauns cock

People like tiesto and Martin Garrix charge 100k plus techno is still buying low

This is the FUD about being a DJ, the truth is that you eat shit all the time, shitty paid, maybe sometimes get laid if you're lucky, get some drugs, end up being a poor junkie with several STI.
Basically it's like buying LINK.

>simply being a smoking hot girl with a bit of mixing ability, good tune selection and revealing clothing seems to go an awful long way these days, sadly
It's like that in everything now, not just deejing. Take a look at Twitch streamers, influencers, office workers, etc.

It's like Basket, if you're good you become an NBA player and earn a lot of cash, if you're not so good you are an average nigger playing in a park.

Difference between DJing and Basket is that it's not important to be very good at DJing to become a top notch dj.
You need just marketing, and boobs.

Well not in my experience.... I don't consider myself a DJ, but I have numerous DJ friends, most of which do this as a side-gig. And every single one of them is slaying the pussy, a couple of them have marriage-material girlfriends too that most definitely wouldn't even know their name without them playing decent live sets in front of a crowd. It's true that the money is shit, and nobody should go into DJing with some fantasy about becoming wealthy.

But it will get you laid, a LOT. And you can always sell blow on the side if you want the $ haha

be really good at selling drugs to jewish kids

DJ techno successfully

>How do I become a successful techno DJ?
Dont, make and play your own music you pleb

underrated

Yep, i know, you get laid, and it's very effective to this purpouse.
So i mentioned "several STI"
But i know a lot of people trying to make it being a DJ too, they usually become pathetic

Problem is the BREAKDOWNBUILDUP formula has become so exaggerated that now you can just chop over to the next trap on MUH DROP

Mix actual good music
youtube.com/watch?v=EIOujmiRskg

Like most things that girls learn to do, it is the easiest thing on the planet.
Sure it can make you money and you can get better at it, but don't listen to people who think it takes any form of actual talent.
If you want to challenge yourself and actually use your creative mind, then learn an instrument.

Spoken like a person who has literally never touched a mixer. And you CAN'T be a decent DJ without knowing music fundamentals, and if you know that you at least know how to play piano.

What I meant was that if they produced the track, they should have the original stems and can do more interesting things with that than with a flat rendered WAV file. Some artists also use Abletob Live to trigger clips and essentially build a new arrangement each time they play or even remix the track on the fly.

What DJ plays four tracks at once? Or even three. Whenever I listen to sets, all I hear is two tracks blended together. Which is piss easy in techno, since each track has like two minutes of buildup and usually atonal.

Wrong. If you can count a 4 on the floor beat you can mix any EDM song. No piano necessary lol

Even you can write shite on your computer keyboard on biz, but you can't write a novel.

This is great

take lots of drugs, be from iceland

if you're a good DJ that does mashups on the fly instead of just spamming EDM tracks, you'd ideally want four channels so that two play one mashup while the other two queue up the next one. All of this requires a lot of adjusting with the levels and tempo.

Despite how things may appear the music industry is still built on a highly centralized distribution network.You can never truly "make it" without first passing through its gatekeepers.

And he's a jew, I'm starting to believe those jew conspiracy shitposts

It's like in pretty much everything the connections are what get you known, and if you don't have the connections you remain a peon with the other peons

I'm embarrassed for you. If you can count 4 on the floor beat you can mix house and techno, assuming you already know how to use a mixer, which you obviously don't. Nigger don't even know what EDM is and trying to explain how easy it is.

This attitude is the same as "oh it's all just pushing buttons, any retard can do that!" You know what else is "just pushing buttons"?
- Making $100million on crypto.
- Writing the Unity game engine from scratch.

So go on champ, give yourself the 10 minutes you need to go and mix some "EDM" and post results. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

People called me a great mixer only because I used fade out fade in between tracks at the right moment, kek

Plenty do, although typically C/D would just be much more stripped back elements like an additional instrument/vocal element not in the other two tracks. In other cases DJ's will use C/D to scratch over the top of the mix which you see a bit of in breaks.

can add to connections

have a buddy who was just attending lots of parties at local bars, became frequent customer so everyone from staff was used to him, then he just offered "do you have a mixer? or someone of your friends?". they told like hmmm you want to play music? he was like "yeah!" and this is how he became a dj in a bar, lol. now they have "live sets" like another group of events on their page and this guy brings all his friends to that bar so they make extra cash on these events and this dude besides having fun also gets some cash and offers from other bars

he has main white collar job (english teacher in office as far as i know) and this is just side hustle / hobby for him

can't say anything about his music, if you have similar taste to place you're hanging around and you don't have anything against spending 5-8 hours to only playing music I guess it's enough to try it out and look how it would work out for you

Literally nobody ever called you a great mixer. And if they did it was some autistic faggot like you who doesn't know dick about mixing or dance music and probably only wanted a line of your coke.

Fucking goosebumps m8, love this cunt

It’s useless to become a dj unless you side with them and wanna see. Degeneracy and destruction, and if you does there are better paths
Let me start
First the frequency
The techno devices, software and hardware included are literally changed to use non natural patterns and frequency in order to literally make your brain a ramen
They literally changed all music devices resonance and frequency to a non harmonical and no natural one I. Order to literally brainwashing through sounds

Any device is corrupted any software corrupted and any hardware corrupted
So unless you use your own devices made from scratch using non usual patterns and material you are just empowering them

Also, all songs are literally copy paste of greek and Roman songs with 808 and other basses added, if you turn the song to a math equation you will see all of them (famous ones) have common patterns even sounding different

But if you want to fuck others and sell your soul go on

Literally many did, and not for my coke (nor cock), not like you would know.

solid taste

You're on Jow Forums and talking about the degeneracy of EDM?

K.

I'll have some of what you're smoking, please

pseud

>tfw 30 y/o trance boomer
saltwater was a good song *sips*

I am not talking about degeneracy of EDM because Edm can’t be anything else than degenerate since
Hardware corrupted
Software corrupted
Devices (instrument and so on ) corrupted
Find what they did with Mozart resonance and frequency research and literally forced all devices to be changed to non natural non harmonical pattern
Hear classical music and maybe you can find not fucked yo instrumentals and see the difference of even the same song being played with nowadays instruments

I repeat
edm is a tool to make your brain go ramen, same shit as mkultra and frequency brain modulation control

Chicane is a genius

No ordinary morning, Early, Titles, Offshore, Halcyon ...

>Find what they did with Mozart resonance and frequency research
Elaborate? Are you talking about the shift from 432 to 440 hZ?

you realise that ALL music made past 2005 is made on a computer right?

Theres an option to tune synths to 432 lol it is clear you dont know what you are talking about

Are you on spice? Crack? Heroin? Or just schizo now?

Its deeper than that
There is ressonance
Than frequency
Than micro reverberated effect because. Of frequency and ressonance than micro ondulated macro and micro post modulance
If you change in 1hz you changed everything, this make your body remodulate on non natural and non harmonically modulations that make your mitocôndria create disformic eletrical camps that result in non perfect electric sharing, consuming and use
Resulting in non harmonical patterns that literraly by produce CANcER

Based and post remodulated

Ok what stupid youtube video you got that from now?

What made the previous frequency the natural frequency?

This is the proof they literally induce you to cancer
Use earphones?
Corrupted by hardware
Using music produced on any software?
Corrupted by software
Do you think humans should hear voices with non harmonical and robotic patterns?
Think by yourself, does nature produce modulations that literally off pitch in other to stay always non natural?

Then shit get deeper
Poor population use not just corrupted things, but low quality hardware that doesn’t even have protection control that amplificate all the bizarre extremes of tones, making literally a bizarre event to your ear capacity and literally making your brain a ramen bangaloo resonating non harmonical songs in the same way it would make you really great to hear people screaming using a amplificador all day long
So we are forced to use corrupted hardware made on corrupted software that is reproduced on corrupted devices and result in corrupt events

Well retarded what made you eat natural things and not toxic things?
Maybe if you grow a parasite you can get lucky and he share his IQ with you as your brain became ramen already

So what are we supposed to listen to? Nothing?

maybe if you had a brain you can start developing 6th dimension skills where you can connect through aural bonding ( the heritage connected to the mitocondrial parasite part that wasn’t at first at humans cells) to acess atemporal knowledge and bonding with you pre and after lineage giving you power to módulo your own thoughts with the safe harmonical modulante it should have
Or maybe you can scream reeeeeeee until you can’t talk so you go again listen Taylor Swift

This post is complete horse shit. This is coming from someone that works in the industry. DJing couldn't be any easier today. What to be a successful dj? Well the entry to djing is producing good music now. Ain't no one going to get big by mixing other peoples records anymore unless you have big tits and a nice ass.

Start producing music for 5 years and then attempt to get into DJing. Thats only if you really want a good attempt at getting in and actually making a living.

Was that supposed to be an argument? lol

You know water is toxic? If you drink too much of it you die.

The current frequency can be produced 'naturally', just change the size of your tuning fork, what made the previous tuning fork more natural? Retard.

>The entry to djing is producing your own music.

In what world, does one wet their toes in the world of DJing and production by STARTING with producing their own fucking tunes?

Not this one buddy. I know many producers and literally all of them started out by DJing first. There's a reason for that - DJing well is much, much easier than writing a good original tune. DJing first will give you a much better understanding of how to produce a tune that can actually be mixed well by other people as well. If you've never DJd and you go straight into production your tunes will have fucking hats that muddy the bassline and bass that seeps into your mids & highs because you have no appreciation of the limitations of a mixer and thus how to produce a tune that can actually be mixed on a live mixer.

And you "work in the industry". Yeah righto.

i am now enlightened

wow....thank you
