DJ Lesson on Getting Your Timing Spot on BY Ellaskins the Djtutor

Alright guys, another demonstration, a bit of a tutorial for you and an exercise for you to practice. I get this wrong but everyone does. It's a good way of getting cues perfect in time. Now of course we all know the best thing to do is get the track on the one, bring it in on the one, it's very easy. But then when you're looping two tracks, one isn't on the one, the other is on the one, it's more difficult. So this is a sort of demonstration and sort of tutorial, sort of exercise you can do at home. Where you don't need to think about the timing. Let it flow. There's a difference between you going one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four and just taking that out of your mind, letting it flow. Two tracks, reel-to-reel, I like to move it. This one here is an old school classic, Offshore, I Can't Take The Power. Listen to my timing. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. That's in on the count of one. Reel-to-reel isn't. So this is what you need to do. You need to make sure all the time,

One track comes in on the count of one, the other one doesn't. If they both come in on the count of one, it's relatively easy. You need to test yourself. Listen to this. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. And so on. So, it's not easy. Okay, yeah. A certain amount of phrasing that wasn't in place there. But I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you get the idea. It's about bringing in tracks, queuing them up, one in time on the count of one, the other one out of time on the count of one. That's the hard bit. Bringing them both together. Have fun, practice and enjoy. Thanks.
