0:01 A quick demo stroke tutorial on putting something backwards while some

Right ladies and gentlemen, a quick demo stroke tutorial on putting something backwards while something's going forwards. It's a good way of enhancing a tiny part of your mix. First of all you need to get two tracks that work well together and also you need to make sure they're in beat. This one here is Florence and the Machine and this one over here is C, Dubs and Tyree. I am the, hold on, I am the... Son. Right, let's have a listen to the two tracks.

First of all I'm going to give you a demonstration then I'll explain exactly what I did. This one here is Florence and the Machine.

0:57 Dab dabs over

So first of all we will...I'll give you a demonstration so... Say hello Blaze. Say hello to the camera look. Over there.

2:51 It doesn't matter where it is at that...on this particular track

You stand there and you look at some dab dabs over there. Alright Mr Moon. Daddy won't be long. Come here then. Let me give you a cuddle. Right, cuddle time for the little lad. Okay so what did I do? Right first of all make sure we have the two tracks at the same BPM. Then of course there's no point setting a cue point at the beginning of this track and making it go backwards because you just won't get anything. It'll stop. So what I had to do is find a break and then I set a cue point. And then what I did before hitting that cue point, I made sure that the player was in reverse. So it doesn't matter where it is at that...on this particular track. As soon as you hit that cue point it will start at the point you hit the cue point or press the cue point at but instead of going forwards it'll go reverse.

Or go backwards. Go reverse. Go backwards. This one here C dubs. Again no headphones and... Now that's them together. That's just the one. I am the sun. It's almost as though you're adding a kind of an echo dub to the beat.

Crossfade.

Have fun, practice and enjoy. Watch out for the blade. Tied man.
