Beginner DJ Lesson on Using the bass Mid and Top on a DJ Mixer BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Good practice for using bass mid

Alright ladies and gentlemen, first of all I've got my little boy right by my feet so if you can hear any noise in the background it's him with a transformer eating my toes. Right, so in this demonstration what we're going to do is I'm going to show you a good practice for using bass mid and top. We're going to use the bass mid and top and we're going to move bass mid and top in time with the track that's playing. You're listening to something from the Karmic Power Stables. I hope I pronounced this correctly. It's a floor shake, a track entitled Realize and it's the Fracture Remix. You can get it from Karmic Power Records. I'll put a link in the description. Okay, so 3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 2-3-4-2-3-4.

1:06 You noticed I moved it in and out at slightly different points

Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 1-2-3-4-2-3-4. Out 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4. That's the bass. Now you noticed I moved it in and out at slightly different points. That's because sometimes the bass line may come in prior to the count of one. And again, it's listening to the track itself. Let's try that with the mid now. 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Oh, you're eating my toes! In 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And in 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And in... no, what was that actually? Try the top. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. In 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Now you notice as well it's a snap in and a snap out, okay? It's a great way of giving that punch in and punch out instead of a glide in and a glide out.

And 1-2-3 with the top out. And in 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And in 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. And in 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. Out 2-3-4-1-2-3-4. On the and... 2-3-4. And two, which was an in. Okay now we'll try 3 together but one after the other. 2-3-4. Out 2-3-4. In 2-3-4. Mid 2-3-4. In 2-3-4. Top 2-3-4. In 2-3-4. It's very simple but believe me it's well worth the practice because it helps you getting a nice mid top in and out at very good points in the track. Alright we could do a slow move but that's not what this tutorial is about. Don't forget check out Karmic Power Records and follow the link for more info on this track and all the others from the Lenny Fontana Karmic Power Stables. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
