How to do a spin back on a CDJ turntable video 2

Alright folks, another lesson for you on something called a spinback. And in this lesson we're going to be looking at spinbacks on CDJ turntables. Not dissimilar to vinyl turntables. There are subtle differences, you know, vinyl turntable, slightly bigger platter, etc. But if you do want to know the actual precise details then put comments underneath and if I can't answer them I'm sure other people can. So what I'm going to do, pause the camera. I'm going to give you a demonstration first and then I will talk you through every single facet of that particular demonstration. Hold tight. Okay, here we go. Demonstration first and then I'll explain what was going on. Here we go. By the way, look to the side of the video for the actual names of the tracks. Right, what I was doing, I was counting the bars first of all. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Then on the count of four, I was actually doing...

A couple of things. One, I was moving the crossfade over. Two, I was spinning back. Three, I was moving the crossfade back over to the original source of music. Now, the reason I actually said two things, even though there were three things going on, is because two of the things I did exactly at the same time. In other words, I did that and then that. Now that's why I classed it as two things, not as three things. I'll show you again, here we go. I'm going to start the music there. One, two, okay? But that was a lot slower, I'll do it fast this time. Okay, so again, very simple, very straightforward. Play the music. One, two, there you go. So again, music's playing. One, two, three, four, bang, straight over.

So theoretically within one beat you're doing like that. One small easy move for a spin back. Practice and enjoy.
