DJ Tutorial. How to Mix 2 tunes from same CD

0:01 Long as the players are linked, maybe you're using a PC program

Alright guys, let's imagine we've got a CD playing on this player, but the next CD we've got in, there are two tracks we want to use from the same CD. But of course, the two tracks are on the same CD. Now this will not apply if you're using software or you're using an SD card or a thumb drive because you can go directly from one to the other anyway. So long as the players are linked, maybe you're using a PC program. From, say, track 3 and then you want to go directly into track 7. But you don't want a gap. I mean, you don't want to start flicking through the tracks, etc. Alright, the two tunes I'm going to be using is Disco Inferno by The Tramps and then also To Be Real by Cheryl Lynn. Now, if you don't know the tracks, I'll just play them very briefly for you. Here we go. OK, that is The Tramps and this is Cheryl Lynn. If you know your disco, you should know both the tracks anyway. You'll notice with this one there's a bit of an introduction.

1:05 This is where we don't have to so much consider the BPM

Right, this is where we don't have to so much consider the BPM. The one important factor is making sure the keys match. So, all of this that I'm going to explain now can be done on the fly on your headphones. Bearing in mind, you can only do this while the track prior to this one going in is being played. So, the track on here is being played. There we go, we're on our headphones. is this one here so we can get that one ready and we want to play directly after that track the tramps we want to go straight into cherylin all right two things first of all we need to set the cue point so we're going to start off with track one we want to go to track three so i'm gonna go to record there and now i'm gonna hit c straight away listen here we go and b make sure you've got it at the right point

3:04 I hit the wrong cue button

And again, this is done on your headphones so that the public aren't going to hear that. Let's have a listen to those cue points. So we've got those two cue points. Alright, so we're on track one. It shouldn't be really rocket science this. Here we go. That's wrong one. We'll go back to track one. Right, what we need to do is we need to find a point where we know the second track will come in. Alternatively, I can go to my second cue point if I want to, to keep the continuity. Here we go. Notice as well, I'm trying to find a point in the music where I feel personally the flow, the vibe will continue. That is vitally, vitally important. I hit the wrong cue button. Alright, I'm not going to edit that song. Here we go. A tiny bit of an insight, practice and enjoy. I love disco.
