DJ Advise/ Demonstration, Using the loop with a spin back

Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2010

Contents of the video

Alright guys, a bit of a trick for you. This video is going out to Tom Snowden. First of all, I'll give you a demo then I'll explain exactly what was going on. Here we go. Right, stop that. Okay, what have we got? We've got the beat effect, sorry, on roll. We've got channel select on channel 4 because that's the one the player's in and we've got the level depth set to maximum. Alright, this guy up here. First major thing though is you need to set a cue point, okay? The reason being is you want the spin back to be, let's say for this particular demonstration, the count of one beat. But you need to come in with a hot cue, bang, straight in, in time. So, for example... So I'll show you again now. Here we go. And... One, two...

All right, takes a bit of practice. We'll try it again. Here we go. What I'm going to do now, this guy here, channel select, volume up on channel three, switch that over, put that on channel three. What I can do now is bring this right back to the beginning or start using the hot cue, crossfade. It's up to you. Elaborate, have some fun, practice and enjoy. See ya.
