In our example we have set our first hot cue at the beginning of a bar so we can use it to finish the mix in time. We first have to set up a few hot cue points within our tracks, try and select points with strong melodic content. This method of mixing can sound the most impressive but in fact it’s very simple to do. To take this DJ transition to the next level try adding reverb or echo to the track to fill out the high hats or even try it on the track you are mixing out! The Hot Cue Mix We can use these and isolate them with the up fader to tease in the next track before EQ’ing and finishing off the mix. However in between these beats we often find hi hats. Usually the kick drum and clap falling on the 1, 2, 3 and 4. Try not to rush the process and then just as the drop is about to happen, add the vinyl brake technique from earlier to complete the mix! The Hi Hat MixĪs DJ’s we are always listening for the strong beats to mix. Now as the build up to the drop continues, we need to half the loop a few times but take your time. We then need to activate the 4 beats loop on the last 4 beats of the phrase. Set your auto loop to be 4 beats long and start your mix as usual.
The auto loop feature is a fantastic tool for creating new and dynamic sounds from your regular tracks.
QUICK TRANSITIONS DJ HOW TO
To learn how to apply the Brake setting to your DJ software, click here! The Half Loop Mix You can add another layer of creativity by applying a half beat echo to the brake too! Adjust the brake to last around 1 beat in length, then at the end of your regular mix apply the brake. However there is a way to recreate the brake and even take it to the next level by being able to adjust the speed of the brake in our DJ software. In the modern era of DJ’ing the motor switch is quite a rare sight so we lose the ability to recreate this trick. The Vinyl Brake MixĭJ’s who played on turntables will remember the old trick of turning off the motor switch to create a slowing brake effect. Once you begin your transition, slowly remove the filter and adjust the EQ’s to create a smooth and interesting blend. Remember to also kill the low EQ if you are adding low pass to avoid unwanted rumble. To perform this mix, start by adding low or high pass filter to the track you want to mix in. One of the most popular DJ transitions is to add high/low pass filter to your mix. Learning to DJ isn’t an easy process, however the filter mix is a simple and easy way to add more flair to your DJ sets.
