DJ Tutorial on Mixing an Acapela

0:01 It's the Minlaser from Chauvet, it's the RGX

Alright guys, before the tutorial on mixing acapellas, I'm going to be giving this away on my next live stream on BlogTV. It's the Minlaser from Chauvet, it's the RGX. That'll be happening in the next couple of days. And now for something completely different.

Right guys, simple demonstration here how we can have a loop, got the loop on the other CDJ, and then we can utilise an acapella over the loop. But by starting the acapella at a different time, we get a slightly different effect. I'll explain. Have a listen.

1:12 In time, but then off time so we get a slightly different effect

This is Chic Good Times, by the way, the acapella. And also we have to start this off the count of one. So it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, Good Times. That's where it comes in. Have a listen. So, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3. Just have a listen how it would sound if I brought this in. On the count of 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Slightly off. But what I'm going to do now is bring this loop in around about there. In time, but then off time so we get a slightly different effect. First of all, in time.

Do it again.

2:15 It's all about counting the bars

What I'm going to do now, I'm going to bring in the loop, but I'm going to omit. I'm going to take away the the. So, Good Times, these are the Good Times. What I'm going to do, I'm going to actually bring in Good Times before we get the the. First of all, we'll have it with the the. And again. Now without the the. With the the. Without the the. Without the the. With the the. Small way of how you can change the sound by maybe just having it a little bit slightly off. It's all about counting the bars. Practice and enjoy it. Okay.
