Intermediate DJ Lesson on Snapping in the Loop

0:00 To the right of that we have the Denon SC-2900 tabletop CD player

Alright ladies and gentlemen, another demonstration, mainly a tutorial on using the echo feature on the DNX-1600 mixer from Denon. To the right of that we have the Denon SC-2900 tabletop CD player. The track I'm using is by Charlie Purston, it's a tracking title sent under. Go and check him out on Soundcloud, I'll put a link in the description. Alright, so first of all we get to the echo effect on the DNX-1600 by turning the EFX selector. Turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise until you get to the echo effect. So I'll just find that now, echo there it is. Once you get to that, press down and now you've engaged the echo effect. Alright, I call this move the snap. I'll give a demo first and then I'll show you why I call it the snap.

1:21 Why do I call it the snap?

Okay, why do I call it the snap? Because I can snap out of that echo anytime I want to by moving this dial here. Wet is full on effect, dry is practically nothing at all. So if you have a listen, what I'll do now, bring the volume down, effects on and the effect will just echo away naturally by itself. Okay, turn the volume up again.

Okay, what I'm going to do now is turn the dial here wet and dry, snap it out when I want to, and it will snap the echo out.

Okay, let's take this another step further. You can have a lot of fun here if you form a hot cue. It's going to be a little bit quicker but it's a great way of going from a hot cue, having an echo over that hot cue, snapping it out and going straight back to the hot cue again.

2:46 Makes mistakes, I don't care

Oops! The phone! Oh God! Everyone makes mistakes, I don't care. You know me, I very rarely edit bits out of videos. What's the point, eh?

Again, it's so much of a quick move, you've got to turn it down and then turn it back up again. Alright, I hope you get the idea. It's called the snap. We're using the echo feature on the DN-X1600. And once again, a big shout out to Mr. Charlie Pearson for a wicked house track, a tracking title sent under. As I said, follow the link in the description, go and check him out on SoundCloud. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
