0:00 They've got more in line with the Web 2 designs

Alright guys, now people are always asking me about where I can get music from on the web. Now there are loads of places and to be quite honest there are lots of places where you can get it for free but you've got to be careful because you don't know what you're buying and the quality could be pretty crap to be quite honest. Now this is a site that you can trust, it's called DJ Download and they have updated their website. They've got more in line with the Web 2 designs. Lots more features on here. You can get track bundles, you know, the ability now to buy a whole EP. Also, a lot of different genres now. So if I just go to that corner top left, just zoom in there slightly, you can see now that we've got the likes of house, tech, house, minimal, electro, house, electro, trance, progressive, house, trance, psy, trance, hard dance, dubstep, breath, urban, cough, beats, breaks, drum and bass, chill out, tools, indie alternative, commercial...

1:24 This very briefly

Cough and breath are free, but sadly they haven't got any 60s. Just kidding. Alright, now you'll notice there, camera's slipping all over the place, I have got an icon that I can move around a bit. So if I just take, get rid of that. If we have a look down here, you can see a plus. That's of course if you want to add that track to your basket. But you've got that arrow there. So if I click on there, not there, but there, what I can do is I can listen to any of the tracks. So you can try before you buy. Right, I'm just going to pause that, bring that over there. Now, I don't know if you can see, when I scroll over that area, I have a choice of buying it 192k, 320k, but also something that people have been begging for. Now, I'll talk about this very briefly. Wave format. Now, wave format is a very good quality sound. Nothing's cut out. You will get the track as it's made.

Now if we go back sort of, I don't know, 10 or so years, MP3s were just about hanging around then. People liked MP3 because you had 10, 20 gigabyte hard drives and you could get hundreds of tracks on there. But let's be honest, with the likes of 500 gigabyte hard drives and 1 terabyte, there's enough space to get WAV formats. So what you're doing is you're getting a much better quality sound. DJ tutorial by Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. If we go, say again, if I click on play here, bring this down here, don't know if you can see, Facebook, 571 likes and there's 30 tweets on there. So you can put a link onto your Twitter account as well. Hope that's been a help. DJ download, go and check it out and as ever, practice and enjoy. Thank you.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
