DJ LESSON ON MIXING FROM HOUSE TO DUB STEP by ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:01 Another demonstration strip tutorial

Alright ladies and gentlemen, another demonstration strip tutorial. A lot going on here so feel free to watch it again so you can take it all in. We're going to mix a dubstep track into a house track. First of all the dubstep, have a listen. A made up sound, Destiny. Listen to that sound. Listen. The hi-hat, it's very similar to a house hi-hat, the sort of hi-hat you would normally expect to have in a house kind of vibe tune. This is the key here because this is a good transition track into a dubstep mix.

Alright, bear that in mind. Over on my YouTube channel, I've got a lot going on here. On my left we have cashmere percolator and also we have an acapella. What I've done is I've got a point on the cashmere percolator where it's a great opportunity to bring in the dubstep track. I'm going to go past the cue point, let that play and then when I'm ready to mix the dubstep tune in, I'm going to press the cue point, start the dubstep so the cashmere track will flip back in time in bar, in the correct bar format should I say, the correct bar time and as soon as we go back to that cue point, we'll bring in the dubstep track. Also, to make it even more interesting, we've got an acapella run DMC. Have a listen.

1:40 Imagine we have the track playing

Alright, so let's give it a go. Let's see what happens. Wap that up. So imagine we have the track playing. Just turn it up a bit. Our cue point, we're coming up to the cue point. That's our cue point. We've gone past that, but remember, if you imagine you had a track playing over here and you were getting this track to mix in, you would have set your cue point on the headphones even before you're getting into this track because the public would be listening to the track on the right.

2:25 A little bit rough, but bearing in mind I'm not using headphones

Okay, a little bit rough, but bearing in mind I'm not using headphones. This is a demonstration. So what I was doing there is almost... Adding a tiny bit. It's a bit like making a wonderful sponge pudding or whatever and adding a bit of extra cream to give it a bit of spice. Of course, you wouldn't add spice because you wouldn't add spice to cake. Right, so I added a tiny bit of an acapella. So again, what did I do? I had this track playing. Sorry, start again. I had the one on the left playing. I had the cashmere track. I set a cue point, went past the cue point when I was ready to bring the dubstep. track in. I then hit the cue point, brought in the dubstep track. But what I did do is I brought in a tiny bit of the acapella first and then the dubstep track in with the cue point I set on the cashmere track. Then I had a bit of a mess around, brought them both in together, slowly faded out. If I was using the headphones, it would have been far more in time. Hope that's been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
