DJ Demonstration, tutorial and New Releases CDPOOL Underground & Global April 2012

0:01 Another demonstration stroke tutorial but also it's new releases for C

Alright guys, another demonstration stroke tutorial but also it's new releases for CDPool. In this particular video I'm going to be previewing the new releases for April 2012, the house or also known as the global releases and the underground. So for the time being what I'm going to be doing, I'm going to play disc 1 from global and disc 1 from underground. Now also this is a bit of a tutorial demonstration as well. A while ago I did a video showing you how you could do a bit of a mix just using your headphones as monitors. And people were thinking, what are you doing? What's it about? By the way, no, it's not what you think. Just when it rains out there, dust mites and then my nose goes BANG! By the way, as well, happy birthday to Organics1966, you old bastard. Also hello to Mrs Dave.

Right, check this out. I don't know if you can see, in fact come over here, alright? Just come here. Hold on, just come here. Can you see that? That's the headphone out. Now I will explain, that is not your normal plug that you would put into the headphone socket and screw in your mini headphone jack. This is a completely separate unit and you can plug in a... All will be revealed very shortly. So just bear that in mind and remember that the headphone socket can be used as normal. Now let's imagine, which there are, there are people out there with one ear. Not as in the one's gone. Well, there are people out there with one gone. But there are people out there who DJ and they've only got one ear, so how on earth do you monitor and listen to the PA at the same time? You can using this principle. Now the last video I did where we had the headphones down there and we had the volume quite low, we could hear the volume from the headphones at the same level as the volume from the PA, meaning while we were listening to the headphones monitoring a track,

2:54 You could use one speaker for monitors because, of course, the monitor

The keys, the beats and work out whether the tracks will go in or not. It's a good way of key mixing for some people out there, not everyone. It's not for everyone. My PC keeps on flashing. You don't want to see that, it's disgusting. Using this technique, it's almost the same. The difference is, you are in a club environment. There you are, crowds in front of you like that. What you can do, you can actually do a mix quite easily with no headphones at all. You never even have to take any headphones. In other words... Using this technique, you could just make sure, of course, you speak to the technician prior to doing this, but you could actually just go do this and go directly into the monitor system of the DJ booth and then do a mix. Could you? Hold on. Look that out. Monitor. No, no. You could use one speaker for monitors because, of course, the monitors are there. No, just ignore that.

I'm trying to think out loud, which is sometimes really difficult. You don't want to hear my brain working out loud. Right, so what have I done? I've gone from the headphones. Now, if we just play this track here. Now, what you can hear there is not that speaker, it's that one. And this is the volume. Look. Now what I'm going to do, I'm going to put the volume down like that. Cue on it again. Headphones. Phone volume. Oh God, this is crazy. Are they able to turn it up? You see a headphone volume. Like so. Right, that's track one from Global Underground and this one here is track one from the... Sorry, from the Global Releases, not Underground. I'll get it eventually. This one here is track one from Global Releases. By the way, I will put a lickable clink in the description hyperlink directly to the CDPool website. Right, so we're going to press play.

5:08 Headphones, you sure you're alright?

Plus plaque plon. Right, this is track one from disc one, Underground Series, April 2012. Now that is just the track. If I turn the headphone volume up here, we can't get anything because I haven't pressed cue. Listen. Bring it down. You see where I'm coming from now? I'm able to monitor that track if I want to with the volume down here. So, put that up. Right, what I'm going to do now, no headphones. Here are the headphones, I'm gonna put them over there. Go away headphones. Right, stay there. Headphones, you sure you're alright? There you go, fine. What I'm going to do now is I'm gonna put the volume up on the headphones, take off the cue on there and have the cue on this track here. Now the volume is down on that track so whatever I do, the crowd

You won't hear that because all they can hear is the main PA. So my mix now is headphones and that's with the main PA. My cue now on this guy here, which is the underground. I'm going to put the volume up on my headphone and I'm now gonna choose a track. Right so what I'm gonna do now, I'm gonna cue it up using the headphone volume on that side, the main PA over there. Now I know this is a bit like But believe me, if you follow what I'm doing very slowly, you'll get it, alright? So, listening to now through that speaker and now through that speaker. But again, if I had my headphones into two speakers, I'd be able to hear through the both of them. So, I've got it now, yeah. Remember I said about a monitor system? Of course, you have your monitor system. What you could have as well then is another set of speakers which are your so-called headphone monitor system. Ah, I remembered. Alright, here we go.

8:05 This one here is track number 4 from the Underground releases April 20

Right, headphones down now. This one here is track number 4 from the Underground releases April 2012 CD1. Alright, we'll do the same thing now. Take my cue off that side. That now is my monitor through headphones. Let's try another one. That'll work. Again, it sounds really terrible. What I'm not doing is I'm not having my monitor system on which is through the headphones as well. What you have to consider here, and of course the people who are making note and watching this and going, ah yes, yes, yes, will realise that in a club environment when you have your monitors and another little set of speakers through the headphones, which is of course what I remembered, which I told you the second time not the first time because I didn't really know what I was going to say but I do know now for the third time. What you would be able to do is you would be able to have your monitor system on

And if need be, at the same time, have your headphone system on as well. And then when you know it's perfectly in the mix, you can turn your headphone system down. Of course, remember, this is a very good idea for people who've only got one ear. Not one leg, because you could stand on... Anyway, right, so we'll play this one here. This one here is track number three from the global releases April 2012. Nice funky tune. Alright, what I'm going to do, I'm going to do that sort of technique now We're keeping the headphones on that speaker over there, so it might sound a bit wishy-washy. Well, it does anyway, but who cares? Almost like it's got that P-funky 70s slap bass vibe. Headphones. This one here is track number five from disc one. Alright, what we'll do is...

12:38 These videos are for demonstration purposes only

I'm trying to do a mix here as well. I know it's a bit rough and people are going, oh it's a crap mix, really shit. It's like this is a demonstration. These videos are for demonstration purposes only. Thank you. Exactly. Right, so look, we're playing one more from this guy. From disc one from Vodafone. We'll not finish off because we've got two more to do. She just plays beginning end, beginning end, beginning end, beginning end, beginning end, beginning end, beginning ends. Not begin again, begin again, oh never mind. Right.

15:00 My headphone volume is still up, which means through the PA

Disc number two. If you've sat there for 15 minutes, you're a nutter. My headphone volume is still up, which means through the PA. All right? The more I sort of gel it into you and chuck it in there, the more you'll go, ah, right, mm, ah, you'll get it. Friggin' hope so. This is like just... God, I'd be shitting my pants. Numbers, don't put what track with the one ear you've got. And a bloke to say I love you to a woman is pretty easy. A bloke to say I love you to another bloke is really, really hard. Yet, to be a man... It's actually a good thing. In other words, if you want to be a real man, and of course I'm not saying the only way of being a real man is to go to another bloke and say you love them. Sometimes, not always, sometimes you go to your best friend and say, you know what, I love you. More to them than every single pint of beer, no, than anything, because you say it from the heart. So think about it, practice and enjoy. Thank you.
