Effects Help on the May 2020 Underground Tunes from a Mermaid

0:01 Welcome to another video of some tunes

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another video of some tunes. These are the underground releases for May 2020 from CDPool and earlier on I was out kayaking, well actually I was paddle boarding. Beautiful day, sunny and I heard this splashing sound behind me and I saw this mermaid and she's here right now. Let's say hello. She doesn't talk by the way. Hi. My god you talk. You didn't know that, you just found out now. I thought she was mute because when I pulled her out of the water she went like that. I was drowning that's why. Oh right okay, well I pulled her out. Thank you. This is Susie and Susie recently has bought herself the Pioneer DDJ 400, is that right? Yes I have. Okay so what we're going to do here, by the way tunes I'm playing are from CDPool, there will be a link in the description and this one here is the intro version of Alka.

There you go, right so don't forget every single track I play now will be on the May releases 2020. Just going to go through some of the tunes and I'm going to introduce Susie to the art of adding effects. Wow. Yeah. Now it's a bit like, alright this I reckon this is a good analogy. Adding an effect, in fact this is a very good analogy, you'll get this. Adding an effect on a tune is like a woman putting makeup on. You can put a little bit on to enhance your looks, you put too much on you look like an Apache Indian, make sense? Yeah absolutely. It does. Now I know you'll get with the flow there because for example if we listen to this tune here, this one here is automatic and the beginning sounds nice, good sort of roll,

2:39 It's almost like it's making the track disappear isn't it?

Nice feel but then if I go mad with the effects, there. Actually that didn't sound too bad does it? No I like that. That sounds quite good. In fact that sounds really good, I was trying to destroy it then but that sounds pretty good actually. You failed in destroying it. I failed in destroying it, I know. It sounded better. But that is good yeah. Yeah I like that one. Yeah. But check this out right, what I want you to do now, turn that dial very slowly clockwise. It's almost like it's making the track disappear isn't it? Yeah. That's the filter, so we're adding a filter over an effect. Is that cool? Bring it back down. That is cool. That's the high pass. Now turn it anti-clockwise. That's the low pass filter. Yeah. Liking this. So again the Underground releases twisty bendy

Sounds, left field kind of experimental techie techno very minimal sort of vocals but more your sort of underground dark and dreary sweaty nightclub with people stinking of BO, but a good banging sound system. Alright so tell you what Suzy, what we'll do now is I'm just going to go to the next track in alphabetical order which is Babyface, this is the original mix, press play. Now what we've got here is we've got different effects, so I'm gonna let you choose an effect so we've got space so if you listen what I want you to do is choose an effect add it to this track and just in your own mind just tell me which one you felt was the best effect with this track press any one and then that dial then starts the effect off so what Susie's doing now is just using the color

4:57 Spin, slip mode

Effect no sorry that one there that's it okay the space one yeah and how do I get out of that just press another one so dub echo right and then go like that yeah but move it a little bit more maybe give it a bit more grunt right so what I was doing there is while I was turning the dial I was engaging and disengaging so instead of having the crush sort of slowly come in and slowly go out it's snapping in so turn the color sound color effect and then engage yeah with the effect now just

I want you to do something that's going to be really good fun yeah put your hand here and spin it back Let's call it a spin back cool will that Yeah If we engage something called slip mode what happens now is when we spin it back and stop it the the time signature of the track doesn't lose any of its original timing because when you're at a slip mode and you spin it back, it sort of zooms back to where the position it will be when this spin back stops. Does that make sense? But with slip mode, it'll sort of spin back but the underlying track is carrying on playing and it will just, as soon as the spin back stops it'll jump to where it should be automatically anyway. So this is instead of Okay, we'll do this one here.

7:57 Ping pong, moment speaker, gotta

Back of the bus, back of the net but these tracks, I mean at the moment I've got a speaker up there and it's quite a big speaker and it can be turned up rather loud but not really in this environment at the moment but these sort of tunes you do need to have them pumped up. It's gotta be a lot louder but we've got different effects here so we can have delay or do slip mode. Gotta get used to that. Spin it back, disengage the effect so then the effect doesn't overlap and make it sound a bit muddy. Ping pong, similar to the effect but I think what happens with ping pong it goes from one side to the other but at the moment I've only got the one speaker. Spiral Reverb Trans is when it does jump from left to right and then filter

That's what we're used to beginning with. That sounds good. Now check this out, put your finger on there Anywhere Anywhere there Move it up, move it around On the dots?

Hold on, maybe that? Hold on. Try it now. Put your finger on there Cool? Wow, yeah Right well there we go A bit of an insight into the Underground releases for May 2020 A big shout out to, thank you very much to Susie Sad thing is now is I'm a bit sick of her now so do you mind if I chuck you back in the water Is that alright? Okay, if you have to Yeah You don't mind do you? No of course not It happens all the time Yeah where's you, will you get your flippers back? Because you've got feet now Or will you automatically get your big flipper when you get back to the sea? Yeah don't worry I'll be cool Yeah and I'll give her a snorkel as well There you go Practice and enjoy Thank you No it's gotta stop
