DJ Lesson on the Cue Drop Stop in the Mix BY the DJ Tutor Ellaskins

Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2015

Contents of the video

Alright ladies and gentlemen, in this demonstration what we're doing is looking at the cue, the hot cues, and also using this dial here which is the vinyl speed adjust. Now if you use this correctly you can get some really good effects. The track I'm using is Archon Andre Filario Don't Look Any Further. So what I've done, I've set a hot cue and I've got the vinyl adjust to 12 o'clock. So by pressing play pause at different times in time you can get one wicked effect. So I'll give you a demo now.

Okay you've got quite a nice long sort of finish of the track. It's almost like it goes urrrr. It's the equivalent of turning a vinyl turntable off and letting it glide to a halt instead of an abrupt stop. But if we press this at different intervals you can get a different sound. So listen. And so on. If you need to watch it again by all means but it's about hitting the play pause at the correct time. Vinyl adjust at 12 o'clock. Practice and enjoy.
