Stage 4 Mixing & Transitions Course 3 of 5

Chopping and Cutting

Intermediate 3 lessons · 29 min

Not every record wants a long blend. Older and shorter tracks often want cutting - in and out quickly, on the beat - and that is a different skill from blending. Three lessons on doing it cleanly rather than abruptly.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Cut between two tracks on the beat without a gap
  • Chop old school tracks that are too short to blend
  • Cut breakbeat and breaks where the drums are the hook

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.
