Stage 6 Performance Technique Course 3 of 5

Loops

Intermediate 7 lessons · 30 min

A loop buys you time - to find the next record, to extend an intro that is too short, or to hold a breakdown until the floor is ready. Making one cleanly, without the glitch at the loop point, and dividing it down to a stutter.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Set a loop with no audible glitch at the join
  • Use loop divide to halve a loop down to a stutter
  • Use auto beat loop and quantise, and know when they get in the way
  • Extend a short intro or outro into something you can mix with
