Become a VJ Video DJ Even if You Only DJ

0:00 Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor

Alright guys, Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor. Now first and foremost, no one has asked me to do this video. No company boss, manager or company or anyone from a company has said, can you just slightly do this kind of video, you know, and he's a backhander. None of that. Secondly, this is some very good advice. Now then, thirdly, of course, you need to be a DJ really, or for that matter actually, actually you don't, you could just be at home and enjoy music. Right, so you want to know where to get your music from, or you want to know where to get sort of a lot more commercial music that you would normally play, let's say at a party, a wedding, that kind of event. Now if you are downloading your tracks, that's fair enough, there's loads of places to download, but have you ever thought about doing video as well?

Now, let's imagine you don't really want to do video, you don't want to spend money on buying loads of video kit, which I can understand because it is expensive. You need screens, you need televisions, you need maybe projectors. Maybe you just want to play the music, but maybe also in the future you might want to do video and you don't want to be in a position six or ten months from now where you'd thought, if only I'd have got loads of video files ten months ago, I could have had some sort of back catalogue. Right, let me explain. There's a company called Extendermix.eu and they supply video files for music. For DJs. Now, the only reason I'm doing this video is a lot of controllers these days will allow you to play video and audio or PC programs, the likes of Virtual DJ, Serato, Traktor.

Now, the beauty about Extendermix files is that you don't have to use the video. So for example, if you're not a VJ, a video DJ, you can get files from Extendermix. Use them on your controller. And just play the audio. So the video's playing, but you're only playing the audio. So, sorry I'll start again. You're playing the video, but you're not having the video there so the public can see it. All they are hearing is the audio, not the video. But if you think about it, in the future then when you want to maybe start to do the likes of video mixing, you have got a good back catalogue of videos as well as the audio. So in a nutshell, what is this video about? It's about getting people into more video mixing possibly in the future.

So if you're considering that then go and check it out. I'll put a link in the description to extendermix.eu The videos also are very, very cheap. Now I don't know what you're paying at the moment for MP3s but don't quote me. I'm pretty sure that it's around about 40 pence per video. Now that's the audio as well as the video. And that is a bloody good deal, alright? So go and check it out. Practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
