DJ TRIX Go Digital and Line out for a new sound in your mix

0:01 You can check it out on SoundCloud

All right, ladies and gentlemen, big shout out to Mr. Kenny Hectic. I'm using his tune. You can check it out on SoundCloud. Follow the link in the description. This video is all about making a four-channel mixer into a two-channel. Delved on this subject before, we're going to go slightly more in depth. You will need a CD player or some form of music-y type thing that has a digital output as well as a line-out. Line-out, normally RCA left and right. Digital is one output and it's normally the yellow or the orange one. So what I want you to do, you don't have to do this, you can do it if you want to, is from the digital out of your player, you go into one of the channels, make sure the back of that, if need be, is set to digital.

Then you go normal RCA left, right of out of the same player into another channel. Now what you'll find is you are playing the same track. Through two channels. So you'll need to make sure that the trims are the same, bass, mid and treble, etc. And if you're going to do this kind of thing on a four-channel mixer and you want to use a crossfade, it's very simple. Set the one side to A, so channel 1 and channel 2 in this situation here will be A. And then the other side, channel 3 and 4 will be to B. So now with both or all four faders up, the crossfade now is one turntable, another turntable, but you're using two faders. Now of course if you think about it as well, here's another thing to think of. I have delved again about this in the past, but this is where I need you to listen very carefully, OK?

1:43 You go from one player right side into channel 1

Let's just have brackets here and move slightly onto a different subject. You go from one player right side into channel 1. You go from that same player left side into channel 2. And then your other player, you go right side into channel 3. Left side into channel 4. You then go cross to A on 1 and 2, cross to B on 3 and 4. Your crossfade then will go from two decks. But instead of using the bass just on the whole frequency range on stereo, what you're now doing is channel 1 bass is only on one side. Channel 2 bass is on the other side. So now you've got bass on different sides. So you're actually using your four-channel mixer as a two-channel, but you've got complete control over the mix, because you're now able to sweep the bass side-to-side.

The low pass, high pass, you can... You know, instead of just low pass or high pass on the whole of the mix, you're now able to maybe have a little bit of low pass on only the left side or the right side. Anyway, back to what I was going to talk about. Here it is. Right, OK, so what I've done, I have got digital into the one side and analog into the other. Now, because I'm playing this track through two channels, I will get an automatic phasing sound. There it is. If I want to, now I can bring it in.

3:14 What we've got is a low pass over the sound

Automatic phasing. Now straightaway low pass. What we're actually doing here, we've got a subtle low pass over the entire sound. So we don't have a low pass as you normally have it where if I do it as you normally would do, it's... Like so. Now what we've got is a low pass over the sound. Subtle, but good, all right? High pass, jet, zip. OK, let's go to the effects now. We're going to go roll. Just going to tap it in on channel one, eight. OK, so basically we are taking the effects to a new level. Not many people do this. Why don't you be one of them? Practice and enjoy. Thank you. Thank you.
