SKILLS COVERED:

Beatmatching: You first learned about beatmatching in DJ 101, but you have to develop this skill more if you want to mix. We’ll help you beatmatch with the best.
Song structure: Understanding song structure is key. We’ll teach you not only how to mix tracks, but the best points and times to make transitions during a song.
Song transitions: When you mix, you have to be sure your transitions are seamless and tight. We’ll break down the differences between long mixes, short blends, and show you some alternative transition styles (like EQ mixing).
Cross-genre mixing: Mixing tracks of different genres isn’t that hard, and we have some tips and tricks to make it even easier.
Mixing live music: Crowd noise, changing tempos, and poor recordings (to name a few) make mixing live music pretty tough. We break it down and show you how to do it.

STUDENT BENEFITS:

  • Equipment: All equipment is provided and includes turntables, mixers, needles, headphones, speakers, and records. The only thing you need to bring to class is yourself.
  • Weekly Make-up/Review: Miss a class? Not a problem. Each week a portion of class is dedicated to reviewing the material from the previous week. If you happen to miss a class, we’ll be sure to keep you up to speed.
  • Free Practice Time: We believe all students should have the opportunity to practice, and lucky for you, we have the space, equipment, and time you need. Contact your local Scratch office for specific information on practice times and schedules.

FULL OVERVIEW:

M 202 meets once a week (60 minutes per day) for six weeks.

Mixing music allows the DJ to control the energy of the audience. When a DJ’s mixes are truly seamless, there are no uncomfortable pauses or harsh changes in tempo. The music never breaks and the party never stops. M 202 breaks down the fundamentals and the techniques as well as the art of mixing.

Large portions of the course are dedicated to honing your mixing skills. Your instructors will work with you on beatmatching, transitioning records, cross-genre mixing (mixing tracks from different genres), and more. In addition we’ll also teach you the art of mixing: you’ll learn about the history of mixing in DJ culture, optimal mixing points within tracks, transition tricks to accentuate your set, the art of building a set, and more.

By the end of this six-week course, you will put together a six song mixing set.

And don’t forget, M 202 teaches the intermediate principles of mixing, no matter what genre or music you want to spin. Whether you like house, rock, hip-hop, dub, or any other type of music (or all the above), we will teach you how to mix it.

Skills Required

Those who take M 202 should have an understanding of the DJ fundamentals. You do not need to be an expert, but you should have some experience with beatmatching. It is recommended that all those who take M 202 have completed DJ 101 or already be familiar with the concepts covered in DJ 101.

AFTER THIS COURSE:

Once you’ve completed M 202, you will have a strong comprehension of beatmatching and mixing techniques as well as the experience and knowledge to mix almost any track.

To continue developing your mixing, check out M 303, Advanced Mixing. You can also check out one of our scratching courses (S 202 or S 303) to learn about turntablism.
