DJ Tutorial, Add a melody of 1 toon 2 the B Line of another

0:00 Adding the melody of one track

Right guys, now in this tutorial what we're going to do is concentrate on adding the melody of one track into, let's say, the beat and the bass line and vocals of another. Now quite often the reason you'll do this is, let's say for example, you want to just lift the track that little bit more. The track you're playing, maybe there's not enough melody. What you can do here, you can add the melody from one track into the other track. By the way, if you want to know the names of the tunes, I'll put them in the description. Alright, let's listen to this one here. Now this is why I'm wearing my Rolex. If I just knock it forward a bit. Have a listen to that. Good bass line. We've got vocals. It's not really that much melody. Let's whang it on for a little bit more. Now in a sense, what they've done, not meaning to contradict myself, but what the producers or should I say the remixer has done here...

Is they've made almost like the bass line to become the melody, which does work. But maybe to take the track to the next level what you can do is you could let's say incorporate the melody of another track into that. Now this is something that can be done on the fly and this in a sense can be two things. One is you can add the melody of one track into the other one during the time that that one's playing. alternatively what you can do is you could just say mix this one in after a while or what you could do is you can add the melody of this one into that one during the course of the track and then when this one is about to finish you could start this one off from the beginning again and then mix this one in so you're doing loads of things again there is no defined way of doing a mix logically it's got to be beatmatched it's gotta sound right but otherwise

You know, it's entirely up to you. If you come up with some wacky idea and it sounds right and it works, do it. Don't just watch these videos and think this is how it's precisely got to be done. Forget that. Just look at this, explore your mind, rip up the rule book and make your own decisions and have some fun. Right, so, the track I'm going to be using with the melody is this one here. Just have a listen. You're probably thinking now, where's the melody? I'll move it forward a bit.

2:38 A tiny little bit in the background

A tiny little bit in the background. If we wag it forward a bit more. Now that's the bit I like. What I've done, I've set a cue point. Now again, logically, they've got to be beatmatched, okay? So what you need to do with videos like this is just take the basics and explore the basics and add them to what you are doing. Right, okay, so... Now what I'm going to do, I'm going to bring this forward to where the actual bass line comes in, which is sort of that bit there. Now again, I'm doing this on the fly, you would do it a lot better let's say if you had headphones on etc. Now what I'm going to do though with the mixer is this CD player here, I'm going to take the bass not all the way out but instead of the bass being at 12 o'clock put it to about 9 o'clock.

3:50 It's the Wiley track

Now we can listen to this guy here. It's the Wiley track. What I'm going to do now is exactly the same as I did earlier on, put the volume up, here we go. What I could do if I wanted to... Bring the bass in, this one, bass out there, straight out. So, like I said earlier, what I've done is I've used the melody from one track, incorporated it into... Incorporated it into the... You try saying that. Incorporated it into the other track. Practice and enjoy. Yeah!
