DJ Mixing Demonstration of Adding a Loop over a Mix BY Ellaskins the DJ Tutor

0:00 Little bit of a trick you

All right guys in this video I'm going to show you a little bit of a trick you can add to the mix. Now first of all I need to get the same track on this side here. All right so here we go. We're playing this track on this side here. This happens to be a track entitled Be Free featuring Barry Farley. It's the original mix. So you're playing the track on the left hand side, you're anywhere through it. Halfway through, quarter of the way through, at the break. Wherever. All right that's playing now. Crowded jumping up and down, having organisms and everyone's happy. Lickable clink. Enjoy and practice. People like the lickable clink. What is a lickable clink? Check down in the description for all the lickable clinks. Just kidding.

1:37 I'm now going to bring the loop in

Okay so what you do on the right hand side is you get exactly the same track and you form a loop of the beginning of that track or you form a loop where you just got the beat. So go play the same track, go to loop mode. I've got two bar loop, put it on a hot cue A. There it is. Now at this point it doesn't really matter if the hot cue isn't exactly on the count of one because you are going to be mixing this in anyway. So just to make sure it's relatively sounding very well, sounding relatively good should I say, I'm going to put my headphones on. So let's get back to the mix. So what we're going to do here is we're going to carry on playing our track. Right, they're listening to. I'm now going to bring the loop in.

3:44 We have a track playing over here, the crowd are jumping around enjoyi

Bass out. Okay what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to a new track. So a bit more of a demonstration here. So that track by the way was Feel Like Home, the Red Velvet dress mix Lizotte remix extended remix. That's what it's got there. Do apologize if you can't understand that. So that's pretty much a demonstration. We have a track playing over here, the crowd are jumping around enjoying themselves. You're getting exactly the same track form a loop of just the beat on the other turntable and then you bring that in at any point. Now because it's just a loop of the beat, you can bring it in anywhere. It doesn't really have to be brought in at the beginning end of a phrase.

It's loop in because it's just the beat. What is a little bit excuse me, losing my voice more important is how you take the other track out. That is important. And once the other track has been taken out then because the loops playing that gives you time to bring a new tracking on the left hand side. So you start with the left hand side right hand side is the loop and then you bring in back on the left hand side a completely different track. Everything I've shown you here can be done on a controller. Practice and enjoy. Check out the lickable clink practice and enjoy. Thank you very much.
