Controller DJ Advise Using Serato DJ Find the First Kick

Lesson Intermediate Stage 7: Software & Gear November 2014

Contents of the video

Alright guys, we're using the Canon LaGraia Mini and this video we're using Serato DJ. I'm going to show you how some people can sometimes get it wrong in its simplistic way. If you look here, we can see this is the track starting. This is the tiny first little sound. Have a listen. That's it. Have a listen. So, it's always important to make sure you find the defined first kick before you bring your track in. Two tunes I'm using by the way are from CDPool, the global releases, June 2014. The track you're listening to now is My House and the one coming in is Rhythm Is Love. So, what I'm going to do, I'm going to cue that up there. Let's just cue it up there.

Okay, let's bring it in. If you want to change the way format is as well, you can do that. I'll just show you now. Hold on. Up there. Got my finger on the pitch and holding the camera at the same time. It's a bit difficult. Just fade this and fill this one out. Okay, let's have a look up here. Top right hand side. At the moment we're on horizontal. Let's change that to extended if we want to. I'll tilt it. Alternatively, we can change that again to one more time. Vertical. Alright, I hope that's been a help. If you want any info on these two tracks, check out the link in the description. Practice and enjoy. Nice cuts.
