DJ Lesson . Mixing House with Dub step.

0:00 How you can mix dubstep

Alright ladies and gentlemen, in this demonstration we're going to be mixing a dubstep tune with a house track. The whole idea behind this video is to show you how you can mix dubstep with house and almost make one tune. So in other words you have two different tracks and you bring them both together and you're making one new track. Also I'm going to be using the isolator on the EQ curve. The isolator here, what this will do, it will give a complete cut of either bass, mid or high or high-mid, bass, anything. I can cut them all out. The isolator is also known as kill. If you've got kill switches or if you've got a kill function on your bass, mid or treble then it's exactly the same thing. First of all I'll just give you a demonstration.

I've got the EQ curve. I'm going to set that to EQ. This is DJM 900. The two tracks I'm using, I'll put the names in the description. But this one here, this is London. So we have a listen now and if I take the bass out and the mid and the top, we've still got remnants of the track in the background. It's almost as though I've just turned the volume right down. Bring the mid up, bass up and high. Okay, put them back to 12 o'clock. Now I'm going to flick the switch to isolator. Completely gone. So this is the function I want to use for this demonstration. Also we're going to use the filter. Just by the by as well, I have said this before, if you want a good way of using the filter and use it very quickly is use the side of your finger.

It's far better than doing that. Believe me, it's a lot faster. Alright so that's our house track, the dubstep tune. Over here, it must be the feeling and again I'll put the title and artist in the description. So what I've done is I've set the house tune to a certain position. Dubstep track is starting at the beginning. Now first of all if we count dubstep, we're almost counting like 1-2-3-4. 1-2-3-4

Like so. If you've got house, we're counting it like this. 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 But if we relate back to the dubstep, you know

2:56 Very similar time scale

Very similar time scale. The difference between the dubstep is it's almost like half time. You would be counting it more half time but then if you double up that timing, it's near enough the same as house. What you will find though, is you may have to increase the speed of your house tune and decrease the speed of the dubstep tune. So, This is our dubstep track. I've got them both near enough beat match at the moment. I haven't got the headphones in. So what I'm going to do, I've set the house track which is on channel 3 at the position where I want to bring the dubstep tune in. So I'm gonna do something pretty crazy. I'm gonna bring them at the same time. A little bit like this.

Nice high hat on the dubstep. Which is giving me a good time signature to work from.

4:13 I do bring the bass out of the dubstep

So I do bring the bass out of the dubstep. Bass in, bass out. As I'm taking the bass out on the one track, I'm bringing the bass in on the other. At the same time, it's on the house track. Again, that's giving me a time signature that the house track is still in beat. Have a listen. That bass line or the bass beat from the house track. You know, in four and out four. Give it an eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four. Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Two, three, four. Okay, so we've near enough done a remix using two tracks. All right, I hope you got a few tips from that. Practice and enjoy. But very importantly in this demonstration

We had the EQ curve on the isolated position. In other words, we were able to take away completely the bass mid or treble. Again, this is a demonstration. Get out there and do your shit. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
