Lesson Beginner Stage 4: Mixing & Transitions November 2014

Contents of the video

Alright guys, another beginner lesson for DJs out there. In this one we're looking at the high, also known as the treble on a DJ mixer. The track you're listening to is by Mr. Kenny Hectic, a track entitled Don't Walk Away. First of all, the high is normally above the mid and just below the trim, also known as the gain control on each of the channels. If you decrease the high frequency, turn it anti-clockwise, you'll start to decrease the high pitch, the hand clap, the cymbals, the high part of the vocals or music. Have a listen now, it's set to 12 o'clock, I'll now start moving the high in an anti-clockwise motion. Clockwise, and you increase the high frequency. Generally on a DJ mixer, the high frequency is set at 12 o'clock.

High frequency on a DJ mixer, this video is dedicated to the beginner or new DJ, practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
