DJ LESSON HOW TO CHANGE THE VIBE IN THE MIX Music by Lenny Fontana

0:00 A lot going on in this demonstration stroke tutorial

All right ladies and gentlemen, a lot going on in this demonstration stroke tutorial. First of all the track I'm using is by the main man Mr Lenny Fontana, a track entitled Everybody Put Your Hands Up. Now what we're going to be doing is we're going to be going from one feel to another feel. So let's imagine you're in the mix and you want to change the vibe, you want to change the atmosphere of the room. There's many ways of doing this but this is one of them. Now first of all I'm going to play different tracks but I'm not, and I'm not contradicting myself, I'm playing different tracks but I'm going to be playing a different mix of the same track. Now what happens, a lot of producers, what they'll do is they will make a tune and then they'll give that to loads of other producers and they'll say you know go do shit with it and then that producer has a new vibe, new feel, they'll bring it back to the original artist and there'll be a completely new feel to it.

The feel could be more uplifting, more vibey, more clubby, more airy, much more deep, much more dubby. So what you can do, if you want to keep a good continuity of your mix, you can use one of the mixes from this particular track or any track for that matter and then mix in another mix of the same track and then that will lead on to a completely different song which means you've then got, you've had a different mix. You've had a nice smooth transition into another feel. Now first of all, what I've done, have a listen, I've formed a loop.

I'll put information on both of these tracks in the description of this video as well, okay? So now there's a reason for me putting this loop in, okay? So we'll just go out of the loop.

1:48 Ready loop

So just imagine now we're coming to the end of the track and also I've got my next cut ready. I've got that ready. Now what I want to do is I want to use that loop as part of my mix. So I've already formed the loop and I put it on a hot cue, as you can see it's amber.

So when I'm ready, okay we've got the loop. Quick tip here, this is what we can do, we can do spin backs, keep them in time. As soon as we hit the hot cue again, it should be back in time, of course just so long as when we start, we've started the original loop, it was on the count of one and of course that's on the basis that you bring in the cue point if you started the cue point, the hot cue at the count of one. So I'll give you an example, here we go.

3:04 We've got our loop

There you go, that's probably a little bit better. Okay, so we've got our loop. Now again, we can utilize, now a lot of people will start the effect and work around like that. Why don't you try this? Disengage the effect. And then start. Start it sort of half way through the actual effect, it's much better. Take the bass out, you're straight out and now we're playing near enough, well we are playing the same track but we're playing a different mix. Bring it forward, there you go. Alright have fun, practice and enjoy. Lenny, love you dude, thank you.
