DJ Transition Demonstration from Drum and bass to a Mellow Slow Song

Alright guys, hopefully a very simple and short video explanation after the demonstration. I'm going to do that again.

Okay, so what we're doing here is we're going from a drum and bass track into what I would class as a very slow and melodic tune, or let's say the beginning is very slow and melodic. All I'm doing here is I'm using the echo effect. And I'm tapping in time with the drum and bass track, but I'm tapping in half-time. If we have a listen.

That's the exact time. 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 of the track. What I'm doing though is I'm tapping in half-time. 1, 2, 3, 4, like so. What I've done is I've set the effect to echo channel number one and then while I'm engaging the echo, I'm leaving the volume up for a little bit of time then bringing it down to get more of a fuller, what I would class more of a fuller echo effect. Now the echo itself then is relatively slow in its echo and then in turn that almost complements bringing the slower track back in. So we'll do that again. Also, don't know if you noticed, I'm trying to start the echo around about the end of, I think this is the chorus, slide it straight over. No need to beat mix anything else.

The other key to remember, of course, is the key. Make sure they are either in the same key or keys that work practice and enjoy. Thank you. Two tracks after glow and what you're listening to now is another love the explicit edit. So we'll cut it here. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
