0:01 Sorry I got me back to you haven't I?

Alright ladies and gentlemen, demonstration stroke tutorial for you on bringing a loop into the mix and then bringing another track in over the loop. Now there are other videos I've done similarly, pick my nose, not picking my nose of course, about bringing a loop in over the mix. But on the odd occasion there is a certain track that's got a big vibe, it's got this big chunky vibe. Sorry I got me back to you haven't I? Don't care. Sorry it's that camera over there. It's got a really big chunky sort of vibe to it, the beat. And sometimes it's nice just to let that roll on and just let it play. So that's what I've found with this particular cut. So what we'll be doing is we'll be having a track on deck one.

I'll be mixing in a loop of a fantastic beat on deck two. Go back to deck one and bring in a third track. The tracks I'm using are from CD Pool. They're from the global releases from November 2013. The first track will be track number five from disc two. The second track, the loop, will be track number, I've got everything noted here, track two from disc number one. And then the third track here will be track number ten from disc number two. So if we go to, where are we, track number five. This one here.

1:29 Again I'm not using any headphones so bear that in mind

It's got quite a nice vibe here. Now again I'm not using any headphones so bear that in mind. And the emphasis here is I want to try and incorporate the loop over quite a bit of this particular cut. Slowly bring this cut out and then as quick as I can bring in the next track over the loop and then slowly bring the loop out. Now if I was able to, which I can do with these players, quantize that loop. I could just let it go. I don't do it all the time. But because this is a demonstration tutorial, it's going to be a little bit rough. I'm not using any headphones but hopefully you'll get the general idea. Alright so this cut here.

You can hear it's a nice sort of vibe but I'm just going to pause that. But it's not as chunky as this.

Now that, that bass line. You know from the first bang you just, you know, you get the goose bubbly bumbles and you just love it. So. That is the cut we're going to mix over this one, so.

2:41 I need to do of course

Now first thing I need to do of course on my headphones, I try and place my beat match in this one that I'll bring over the top.

Again as I've said many a time with my particular tutorials. Do apologise I've got my back to you. It's about taking a few tips and tricks from what I do and taking it to the next level. So I will say practice and enjoy on the Canon and we'll go back over to that one and have a look at you okay? So.
