DJ Lesson on Going from an Old School Tune to a New House Vibe Cut

0:00 We went from David Morales to Ridney

Alright guys, pretty much just finished uploading a video on going from one vibe to another vibe in the mix by using the same track but a different remix of that track. Of course the tracks I used were Lenny Fontana track entitled Raise Your Hands, D-Train, I used David Morales' mix and the Ridney remix. So we went from David Morales to Ridney. David Morales, very pumping, a lot of energy into something slightly more deep because it's the same track. And so long as they work well together with keys, you're going to have a good smooth transition but you're going to be able to change the vibe. This video I just thought actually very similar. What we're doing though is we're going from a really old school tune to the Ridney remix of Lenny Fontana. So we're going from something that's from the 80s, it's actually Patrice Rush and the track entitled Forget Me Nots to the new school.

What we're doing though is again with old school tunes. You have to be a lot more careful because more often than not if we go back in time like six million years, not six million years really, five and a half million years, that'll do. A lot of the tunes were not made by drum machines. They were made by real people. This happens to have been made by a drum machine but even so sometimes when it was given to someone else they may have remixed it and they may have edited that track. Now if we go back to the 80s, an edit was done on tape so you had to slice the tape. So it was possible, not likely or highly likely, it's possible that that edit could have been a fraction of a millisecond or a second out. So you will still have perfect timing but there will be points in the track where it's off very, very slightly. So it could be 120 BPM all the way through but there could be one part where they've edited the track and they may have missed a time.

2:00 A good way of getting around that is to do a loop

So it could be a tiny amount or added a little bit, you know 0.001 of a second. So that could put you out of time. So a good way of getting around that is to do a loop. So in Patrice Russian, forget me not, there is a part where you get into the instrumental break. So I'm going to go into loop mode and I'm going to loop two bars which is eight beats and then I'm going to bring the Ridney remix in. Now this is a demonstration. Hopefully it will inspire you to go, oh, I'm just going to get a cup of coffee and bugger him. So right, let's go back a little bit. Beautiful track this. Loop mode. Now I'm going to press play and loop at the same time because I don't want the loop just to last forever. Here we go. Take the bass out of Patrice Russian. Filter it out. Last a little. And again, I could have maybe left the bass in a little bit more, taken it out.

I could have even used the filter slightly earlier or later. That's entirely up to you. A thousand DJs could have done that exact mix at the right time, the same place. But by everyone using one of the dials slightly differently, they'll get their own color and feel to the vibe. Practice and enjoy. Tune. Absolute tune. Hold on. Here we go. Brilliant cut. I'll put a link in the description to Lenny Fontana featuring D-Train. Raise your hand. Your hands. Big in the UK at the moment. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
