Learning How to DJ

What's a slip loop? Don't touch that! We're here with Alex, DJ Red Free. It's gonna be an amazing video because today Alex is gonna teach me how to be a DJ. Is that some YouTube energy or what? Yeah! They want some of this! What does being a DJ entail? I don't know. You just press a bunch of buttons and music comes out. But here's what I'm confused about. If you already know like the set list you're gonna play, how does that work? Because isn't it all about like reading a room and then knowing how to make that room fun? Great question. You have to do something you know everyone's gonna get hyped about. Okay, so if he was in a DJ set and I'm in the room. Yeah. What is he gonna play for me? Because if he did it correctly he would play Royalty Free Music from iMovie. Barbecue Blues Medium. That's your favorite. I like Barbecue Blues Medium. I find the long one a little too long and the short a little too short. Nadine loves Royalty Free Music. She loves this one called Barbecue Blues Medium. Here we'll play it now. Guys I'm here with Alex DJ Rent Free. Today we're gonna learn how to be a DJ. But first let's spill out a little coffee. Uh we have to there's a little in memoriam happening Alex. Okay. That is for the uh you have to say goodbye to a friend today. Okay who's that? Someone has passed which is the monetization on this video. I'm assuming we're gonna be using copywritten music today. Uh-huh. Yeah so yeah we have to say goodbye to the $35 that I would have made on this video. It's worth it. Let's get a moment of silence. Think of all the things we could have done with the $35 Alex. Get my son a bagel at Courage Bagels. Get me a bagel in Harlem. Get you a bagel. Get me a bagel. Getting to be a bagel.

I don't know if I can do it, but I get what you're doing. You, you sync it up. So those two songs are synced on beat. And so then when you switch, it's, it's already on beat. I did it.
