Intermediate DJ Lesson Help with the Cue to Get Better Timing

Lesson Intermediate Stage 3: Beatmatching November 2014

Contents of the video

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this is an intermediate DJ lesson and what we're going to do is I'm going to help you on your cueing up a track. We're going to be cueing in a track on the offbeat and on the onbeat. First of all, I'll give you a demonstration, then I'll explain exactly what's going on. Right, so let's just listen to the sample first without me cueing anything in. One, one, two, three, four, two, three, four. You can hear that sound. Bam! Right, now have a listen to this.

So what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to bring this track in, this sound, the same sound, before that sound comes into the loop. And then as soon as the sound... from the loop has played, I'm then playing this again. I'm also tapping this twice before the sound, let the sound play, then once afterwards. Give you another demo. Okay so it looks simple but it's very difficult but what it's very good at is getting you good at timing. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
