DJ Lesson on Mixing on Only One CDJ2000 BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Demonstration, then the explanation

All right guys, demonstration, then the explanation. You'll notice I've only got one deck plugged in at the moment. Okay, this one here is Fallschutzig, a track entitled Realize, KPR-113 from Karmic Power Records. And I also played this one here, which if I just go back to left folder, it duplexes a track entitled You Got Me Thinking, the Diva Mass remix. And that is, I'll just get the number both from Karmic Power Records. Let's have a look. Five minutes and 42 seconds, and hopefully it's going to give me the number. I'm sure it will. Okay, but anyway, in the meantime, what was going on here? What happened? Well, again, you know, you never know. One deck may fail and you might think you're in the khaki.

In the UK or Wales. It's known as the SHIT. This one here is KPR-112. Okay, so what I did very simply was form a loop, transfer the loop to another channel and then just brought the next track in. I've done a video exactly, well, not exactly the same as this, slightly differently this video. I'm forming a loop on the player and then transferring that loop. Now you don't have to form a loop. You can just record. You can just record part of the track, because if you go to roll mode, the mixer, the DJM-900 will record the loop for you. Now again, there was a tiny bit of discrepancy in the loop. It wasn't perfect. You know, you could tell that it was slightly out. But this is, let's just say, if all of a sudden, you know, the proverbial does hit the fan and one deck stops working.

So let's run through the process. That was my...

3:44 Tapped in time with the track

My cue point there that I went to, which is just pretty much a beat. But again, if you want to mix more in key and, when I say harmonically, you want to mix, gel the melodies together, then you don't have to just wait till the end. You can find a part in the track where you know the melody will work with the one you're bringing in. Okay, so from there, I went to loop mode and I pressed 8, which is 2 bars. Make sure we're on channel 2. Tapped in time with the track. 8 over 1. Bring the volume up on another channel that doesn't have anything playing through it. Start the effect. 2, 3, 4. Switch the effect. Again, slight discrepancy there. You heard that? Definite change there. So let's do that again. 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4. 2, 3, 4. Oh, now, how come I did it first time? Alright, I'm just going to do the time so you get the idea there.

Just move the time down because I'm now reducing that loop in milliseconds.

Bit better. Okay, so we've got that loop and all I do then is I can now go to another track and pretty much start the track.

Where you go bang okay so bit of a demonstration but I hope that's been a help check out the link in the description to karmic power records practice and enjoy muchas gracias
