0:00 I'm going to move this one a little bit forward

Alright guys, going to do this video for the second time actually and if I sound a little bit weird it's because I had a nightmare over the weekend, I had a tooth out and well, it's not nice actually. Anyway, we're looking at once again the Club Releases CD Paul. I'm going to move this one a little bit forward. This one here is track 1 from disc number 1. What I'm going to do here is pretty much just chop one to the other. So the idea is to not beatmatch anything, just cut from track 1 to the next track and so on. So even though they're going to be different BPMs, I'm going to find a place in the next tune and just bung it straight in. The only reason I'm having to do this video again is because I used track 4 from disc number 2 and Beachy and Rita Ora.

Yeah, that's where the problem was. Right, here we go.

So I'm going to try and find a track.

Okay, here we go.

1:36 Track 3, disc 2

Track 3, disc 2. Use track 4. Oh, nightmare. Okay, check out something from disc number 1.

Okay, I'll just skip this one forward a bit. What I'm doing here is I'm using the crossfade and chopping from one to the other.

Okay, track 4, disc number 1. A track entitled Run This Town.

What I'm doing as well is I'm, I'll just pause that a second. I'm not going right and starting at the beginning of the track. At the moment now, I'm getting to, let's say, a break in the track. So if we listen here, I mean this one might go. There. So.

There. Alright, so we're at the 1 in the break. Let's go back to track 4 from disc number 1.

Right, I'm going to skip this forward a bit.

4:28 Track number 8, disc number 2

Track number 8, disc number 2.

Right. Right.

Alright, let's lift the mix.

Okay, we'll finish off with track number 7 from disc number 1. Okay, but partially cited, what I didn't do was touch the pitches. There was no... There was no need. All I was trying to concentrate on is to make sure that the tracks were bringing... Sorry, were brought in in time, in phrase and also in key. Alright, I hope that's been a help. Don't forget to check out the link in the description to CDPool. And yes, you will see me soon with one of my front teeth missing, which is a nightmare. Alright, but I'm getting a cap on there anyway, so practice and enjoy. Thank you, take care.
