0:01 This is a bit of a demonstration, also tutorial

Alright guys, this is a bit of a demonstration, also tutorial. Also, it's an explanation about how you can get more hits, more subscribers on YouTube and I'll explain that at the end of this video. Now, first of all, a mix is a mix. A beatmix is a beatmix from one track to the other. Continual supply of exactly the same beats or double time or half time. In other words, if one track is 120, the other one should either be 60 or 240 or 120 and 120. But how do you actually mix a tracking that's probably complete different genre and also different, well, yeah, different genre, different style but also a different time signature as well? Maybe 1, 2, 3... One is at 120 and the other one is, I don't know, maybe 73.

2:06 In and have a listen

Now this is one idea for you. What I've done, I've set on here a track that I'm going to mix in. I've got the track here. The track I'm using at the moment is by Danny J Lewis. I will put the names of the tunes in the description. I've got over here an acapella. I'm going to be using an echo and then I'm going to be bringing another track in here. So the idea is very simple. We play this track, we have the acapella running over this track. This track in time. Then what I'm going to do, I'm going to use an echo on that acapella and bring this tune in, the second tune. So here we go. We'll play this one here. Let's whang it forward a bit. So here we go. What I'm going to do is I want to have an echo on this tune here.

3:38 To bring in another tune

The acapella, sorry. What I'm going to do is bring this one forward a bit. Melody going on here. Bring this one up here. Second tune I've got on a hot cue. What I'm going to do now is bring some echo. Bring this one out. While the echo is playing, while the echo is still playing on here, I'm going to bring the next one in and have a listen. I need to wait for the next break really. Alright so what we've done, we've gone from a house tune. We've utilised the acapella in the house tune. We've then added an effect onto the acapella. Giving a scope where that gap is. To bring in another tune. The main criteria here is to make sure that the second tune you bring in is completely in key. Otherwise it's not going to work that well.

Alright, I'm going to turn that off. So how do we get you guys more hits? How do we get you notice more? This is what I propose to do and you need to do your video responses to this video here. It's very simple. First of all, you have to be a DJ. You have to be some form of DJ. But also you could be maybe someone who makes music. You could be a composer of music. A producer, it doesn't matter. Something to do with music, DJing, radio, mobile, club, whatever. Have you got some tutorials on your channel? On YouTube. If you have and you think they're any good. What I want you to do is I want you to post your tutorial videos as a video response underneath this one. Alright? Now the videos will be checked first. No, in fact just put them on anyway.

But if it's all of a sudden it's you doing a mix then we're not going to get them involved. Here's the deal. A tutorial maybe on learning how to scratch, cut, mix, serato, tractor, fruity loops, cubase, anything. Post them underneath here. Then what I'm going to do is once a month I'm going to choose one of those videos. And then that video or that person I will ask you to send me that video. I will then upload that video onto the Ellaskins channel. Theoretically guaranteeing you lots of hits. Also then, I'll ask the people who watch that video to comment on it and also subscribe to your channel. So in a nutshell. Post your tutorial videos underneath here. Once a month we will choose one person. That person sends me the original copy of that tutorial and I will upload that copy to the Ellaskins channel giving you a lot more hits.

And then I will request that the people then subscribe to your channel. Very simple. Get at it now. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
