DJ LESSON Using a hot cue with an acapella in reverse over a loop by ellaskins the DJ Tutor

Lesson Intermediate Stage 6: Performance Technique November 2013

Contents of the video

All right, ladies and gentlemen, demonstration script tutorial here. What we have is we have a track here by Thomas A.S., a track entitled Macaroon. What I've done, I've set some loops, or I set a loop, and I've got that same loop on all of the hot cues on there. The other side we have Danny Tanglia, Music is the Answer. Normally what people do, they will just play the acapella forward. Using this technique, you can have a lot of fun, make your mix, give it another dimension by using the reverse function. What I will be doing is when I hit the hot cue at the same time, I am pushing down the reverse function here. So we have this switch, and as soon as I hit the hot cue, I'm reversing it at the same time.

I'll give you a demonstration first. Here we go.

All right, so there you go. Again, it's all the same thing. It's all about timing. Have some fun, practice and enjoy.
