Alright guys guys, the track I'm using is from the Karmic Power Records stables. It's KPR 148, Boys and the Noise, track entitled Nothing. It's the extended mix. I'm going to give you a demonstration first, then I'll go into the explanation. Okay let's turn that down a bit. Okay so what was going on now. First of all when I started to do the mix mix the first time both of the tracks in fact this is the same track first of all was it exactly the same speed so all I needed to do was nudge the jog wheel one of them very slightly to make sure they're both in time because they were the same bpm theoretically they should have been they should stay at the same speed. The next time I started it I reduced the speed on the right hand

Side a little bit now by doing that what that means is that a they will not be in time but also I'll have to try and keep them in time and what I had to do then was move the jog wheel clockwise so what the jog wheel does it actually just nudges the track a little bit forward it's a little bit like being a really slow driver along the road and having some like fast guy behind you wanting you to move out the way but in this strange world they're allowed to slightly nudge you a little bit forward but because you are not going to put your foot on the throttle as soon as they stop nudging you forward you will go back to the original speed while they're nudging you forward you will go faster as soon as they stop nudging you you will go back to the original speed unless of course you do

3:44 Third time, time third, second time

The decent thing which is put your foot on the accelerator and of course the accelerator is the pitch itself. That was the second time. The third time we did the opposite I brought the pitch above the centre point now the one on the right was a lot faster so what I had to do was move the jog wheel anti-clockwise but the moves on the jog wheel from the second time to the third time were different in two ways one is because I was moving the jog wheel clockwise to begin with to speed it up a little bit because I'd actually reduced the speed only a little bit. The third time I increased the speed quite a bit now because I increased it it was going faster that means my moves on the jog wheel were the opposite anti-clockwise but because it was a lot faster I had to move

The jog wheel more the moves were a little bit more prominent instead of just a nice slow easy move forward to speed it up. I speeded up for the second time. The third time the moves were a lot more okay so there you go I hope that's been a help don't forget check out link in the description to the Karmic Power Tune KPR 148 boys and the noise practice and enjoy thank you very much
