How to Find the One in a Track No Matter Where You Are

0:00 Got some tunes here, CDPool Dance 2020

All right, ladies and gentlemen, got some tunes here, CDPool Dance 2020. And the disclaimer here is very simple. Yes, I do promote CDPool simply because I like what they bring out. Okay, so in this video, what we're going to do is work out how we can find the one in a track. Now, this is sort of a beginner tutorial stroke demonstration. So what I mean by that is let's imagine you're halfway through a song and you have no idea where the next phrase is, or for that matter, you're just lost. You don't know where to bring the next track in. Hopefully I can help you and explain the best place to find the one in a track. Okay, let's go back a little bit. Put a hot cue there. Right, so there's my hot cue. Okay,

So what I did is I waited for a definite change in the track. Now, also, let's go back to sort of primary school here and rhymes. By the way, this tune here is track one from disc one. It's entitled, it was by Joel Corey and Minik, I think that is. Head and heart. Okay. All right, so let's go back to school. Let's just pause that a second. And do you remember nursery rhymes, which hopefully you do? Nursery rhymes rhymed. So you had the first line and the last word, then hopefully the second line. The last word of the second line should have rhymed with the first line and so on. So once you get the hang of nursery rhymes, which most school kids can, you realize that there's a group of lines as part of

2:06 In most tracks, we have what's called verse and chorus

The nursery rhyme, and then it finishes and maybe starts again. So that's what really you should be looking for in a track if there are vocals. Now, in most tracks, we have what's called verse and chorus. So the verse can change, but the chorus pretty much always stays the same. It's a repetitive sort of part of the track with the same words. And what you want to try and do as well is find the rhyme that you're looking for. So I'm going to go back to the first line, and then I'm going to go back to the first line. And what you want to try and do is find the beginning of, let's say, the chorus or the end of the chorus or the beginning of the verse or the end of the verse. And you should find that the beginning and or end should start on the one.

Now, that isn't always the case because sometimes you may have vocals start just before the one or just after. So that's not definite regimented science. It's not like in blood, but that's one way of helping you. So let's play again. So let's find out from here. In fact, I'll tell you what. Let's go to track number one from disc number two. This one here is Power of Bass by Ahmed Van Helden. Now there, did you hear a change in the track? Now quite often, I would say nine times out of ten when you have a definite change in the track, that is going to be the one. So again, that's another way of finding out the one in a track. But now we're only at the beginning of this track. How about if we're sort of halfway through? Where's the one there? So let's skip forward. Okay, so I've gone forward.

Here we go. We got some vocals till this part finishes. Can you hear kind of a build? There's the one. So over time, a very short amount of time, it's going to be the one. And that's what I'm trying to do here. It's going to be the one. It should all piece together. You should automatically start to think, hold on a minute. There's a change. There's a change. There's a change. It is of course the one.

Okay, I'm going to randomly choose another tune here. Let's try track number four. Now the dance series again from CD Paul, a little bit more commercial, a bit more cheesy, still got that club vibe. And if you are interested in maybe registering and taking part in something like this, you can go to the link in the description below. And if you're interested in CD Paul, there's a link in the description. You do need to be a working DJ and live in and around Europe.
