Do Some DJ Effects on a Mixer or a Controller Sound so Bad They Shouldn't Be There?

0:00 Actually, every single effect on your controller or your mixer is a gr

So, when is an effect a bad effect? Well, I'll be very honest with you, every single effect on your mixer or your controller is a bad crap rubbish. Rubbish effect! It's terrible! It's absolutely diabolical! Actually, every single effect on your controller or your mixer is a great effect. It's stunning, it's fantastic, it's amazing! Now have I confused you? I hope I have because I want to confuse people. Make them scratch their head or other bits and go what the hell is he on about? Well, let me give you an analogy here. Let's imagine you like chocolate, mmm, or you like beer, or maybe you like strawberries, or maybe you like chocolate and strawberry ice cream. And you have a substantial amount that satisfies your needs, your thirst. And then someone

Offers you a bit more. Go on, have another little bit. Have another just a waffer thin mint. Someone might get that. And you have more and more and more and more and more until eventually you get absolutely sick of it and it's terrible and horrible and it repulses you and the next time you have it you just... You know, you just want to puke up all over the place. I'm going to play a tune here from Hospital Records. This is Metric, tracking title Hackers. Now this is one wicked tune, alright? If you're into your drum and bass check out the link in the description to Hospital Records and go and check out some serious mother frigging D&B in your face. And practically every single tune they have can be downloaded. Go and check

1:55 I have seriously now ruined this song

The website out and just fill your boots with some crucial D&B. I like this because it starts off very floaty and then it just, just like whacks you man. Loving it. Now listen to this. I've just ruined it. I have seriously now ruined this song. I've ruined it! Absolutely destroyed it! I've killed it! It's terrible! It's terrible! Why is it terrible? It's because I used an effect... little kitten... I used an effect but I left the effect on for too long. This is Sabrina by the way. Yes, after The Teenage Witch. I left it on for too long. So, it's exactly the same with the analogy I gave you earlier on about some food tastes great. A little bit? Fantastic. A bit more? You know, not too bad. Too much? You get sick of it and there is no one out there can tell me

3:14 I'm going to keep that effect

I can eat and eat certain food and I'll never get sick of it. I'm going to play a tune here from Hospital Records. This is Metric, tracking title Hackers. What I'm on about is eating it in one go. All the time. Not stopping, going away and coming back. No! Turning it on, eating that food just all the time. Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. Exactly the same with this effect. If I leave it... Please don't go down there cat. Don't pee down there please. Don't wee on there. You know no one needs to wee in that little bit there. Just go down. Good girl. Come here. So, I'm going to keep that effect. Let's play the tune again. Now have a listen. Do you see what I mean? I took an effect that just sounded terrible if I left it on and I made it sound good. And anyone out there

Who disagrees with me, get lost. So don't forget, if you're going to use an effect make sure you treat it with respect. Don't go over the top and let's be honest, if anyone, Pioneer, Denon, Newmark, Stanton, Autophon, Eclair, whoever makes these effects, don't go over the top and let's be honest if anyone, Pioneer, Denon, Newmark, Stanton, Autophon, Eclair, whoever makes bloody kit if they did... Well of course they make but that's if they make kit with effects, all of them. You know what I mean. Anyway, they wouldn't put the effect on the player if it wasn't any good because if it wasn't any good, they would… Oops. That's what I've just said, Not putPAiT make it on the player. Practice and enjoy. Thank

You. Boom yeah man. Thank you.
