DJ Lesson on Mixing Bhangra Tutorial 3 BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Video number 3 on learning how to mix Bangra

Alright guys, video number 3 on learning how to mix Bangra. In video number 3 what we're going to do, we're going to extend a track. Make it from a 7 inch version into the 12 inch version just by using the hot cues. If you want any info on this track, name, artist, don't hesitate, look in the description. Right, first of all what we need to do is we need to try and find points in the track where you feel, I feel, I could maybe add a hot cue. So let's press play, even the beginning of the track there, okay hot cue, press record call, the hot cues now in red, we have red LEDs there, that tells me that we're good to go and we can now start to record hot cues. Let's have a look at this one. You want to listen to that one.

Okay, that's going to be my first hot cue. Now bearing in mind what I'm about to do now or what I'm doing now you would normally do on your headphones so imagine the track over there is playing, people are happily dancing and you're quickly zipping through this track on your headphones forming hot cues.

1:43 I've got three completely on the fly

When you're doing this kind of thing what you don't want to do too much of, you don't not do it just don't do too much of it, is try and loop a lot of vocals. What you want to try and do is try and loop. The instrumental breaks or parts of the track where you haven't got any vocals, those are the areas of the track that you want to elongate. So we have two so far. Let's get one more. Right I've got three completely on the fly. Now what we can do, we can almost do a complete remix of this track but that's not what this video is about. This video is about adding extra time to quite a short track. So let's imagine that this track is always finishing. This is the end of it. Okay so we've got, well we've got about 25 seconds left.

Okay so by just getting three hot cans go to any part of that track once again and let it roll. If you do it correctly and professionally the crowd won't even know the difference. In fact they'll probably think it is the 12 inch version. Practice and enjoy thank you.
