DJ Lesson on Three Turntable Mixing & Adding an Effect with the Pioneer RMX1000

0:00 Very random video but hopefully you'll get a few tips and tricks from

Alright ladies and gentlemen, a lot are going to go on in this particular video. We're using a loop, we're using some effects from the RMX1000, we're also using three decks and we're going to have a bit of fun. The tracks I'm using is War Dancer Hijackers Remix by Foam, we've got Mr Spring here and we've got Mr Spring over here, we've got a loop of Mr Spring, we've got the complete track here, we've also got a couple of acapellas, we're going to use some effects from the RMX and anything can happen. Very random video but hopefully you'll get a few tips and tricks from it. Now first of all what I have done, I've formed a loop with the Mr Spring tune and let's imagine I'm going to start my set with this particular loop and there's a good reason for starting it with this because this is the loop from the track that I'm going to bring into the mix a little bit later on.

So it's almost, it's a bit like a story, you start off with something, a punch, some big, I don't know, you're talking about cats and dogs. At the beginning of the story and then you go on to something completely random, at the end you finish with cats and dogs or during the course of it. It ties it together, it brings it neatly together, it makes people think oh I remember you talked back, why am I on about cats and what the hell has this got to do with cats? The mind boggles. Right so, we're going to start off with this, now again, right, come back a bit, let's start to count our bars. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. So right away, what I'm doing now, I'm using the effect in time, very subtle but it keeps time.

3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.

2:19 Work it, make it, do it, make sense, make it, make it, do it

Imagine that's all you've done so far, that's all you're going to leave it like, 3, 4. Work it, make it, do it, make sense, make it, make it, do it. Keep it going. Keep something happening all the time, or most of the time. Just missed it, loop now, plus minus 16, I've got to remember with the pitch up the top there at plus 10, it's too slow. You need to start bringing the pitch, add some effect, we're into that track. Now again, a lot of things going on there, quite random but I think the most important thing about this video is that there was something happening 90% of the time. Now whether you've got one deck, two or three, you need to use them. Don't just stand there and go, oh look I've done a mix, oh I've got to do something else.

Try and be active, this is the difference between you and them. Them, I don't know what they do. You, you're going to move, you're going to do stuff. If you've got lots of twiddly-buttony knobbly bits, use them, don't just look at them and go, what does that do? All right, hope that's been a help. This one here, Mr Spring, the night, no God, what's it called again? Oh, I'm forgetting that. Anyway, Shazam it. All right, thank you very much for watching, practice and enjoy. I do, thank you.
