No DJ Mixing Techniques for Some Easy Transitions House April 2021 CD Pool

0:01 New releases time from CDpool April 2021

Alright guys, new releases time from CDpool April 2021. We've got the house releases. So in this video I'm going to do some sort of very, very basic transitions. The sort of transitions that you don't really want to think about mixing or styles or maybe key. You just want to have some kind of thing happening in between two tracks. I've got track one here at the moment, actually they're all in alphabetical order. This is All Alone. Don't forget April 2021, these are the house releases from CD4. There is a link in the description. So I'm just going to grab another tune, poke it over there. This is Away The Pain, the original mix. So let's put this forward a little bit so you get an idea of the tune. All I did there, had the echo playing, brought the next one in.

Now transitions really like this is if you don't want the head F words of thinking, is it in beat, is it in time, is it in phrase, is it in key, is it the same style? You really just want to play music. That's all you want to do. You're not in it to win it. You're not in it to keep the buzz and energy on that dance floor. You've basically got a bunch of mates around and you want to play some tunes. That's pretty much it. Alright, let's have a look. I'm going to get a vinyl break. Sue, have a listen to this. So if you do have vinyl break, you can use that as well. So let's just find another track. Bad Habits. There you go. Again, nothing exciting but very simple. Alright now, a while ago, in fact was it last night, I did a live stream. I had a bunch of very classic tracks.

2:24 I wanted to test and my prediction was correct

I wanted to test and my prediction was correct. Now first of all, I think someone left a comment saying the mix was very sloppy, it had no flow. Well, I absolutely agree but at the end of the day there was no dance floor in front of me so I'm not there to try and keep the energy on the dance floor. What I wanted to do was to test what would happen if I played very well-known tracks and yes, I thought it would happen. Within about 20 minutes, 25 minutes, half an hour, I had copyright issue problems. And basically I stopped the stream because once I get, I don't know if you've done live streaming, but when you get that heads up we've detected copyright music, your video may be temporary blocked. That's the point where you just think forget it, there's no point carrying on. So that's when I stopped.

This one here, Bad Habits, let's find another one. Let's have a look. Can You Feel My Wish? Don't forget the house releases four to the floor from CD4 and if you are a DJ living in and around Europe and you're a working DJ and you like these kinds of tunes, check out the link in the description to cdpool.com. If you're a first time user on some of the releases, you do get, I believe still to this day, 50% off your first two month subscription. Just a little spin back there. Oh, nice little what are you going to do with my loving melody in the background, liking it. Okay, I'm going to find one more. I'm going to go to pitch. Now this is quite interesting, the pitch, because what it can do, it can actually increase or decrease the sound, the key of the track, the pitch.

4:25 There, you can hear it's quite high now

But the crazy thing is, it keeps the speed and it's really bizarre. So when you do make the pitch higher, it actually sounds like the track is going faster and the opposite when you lower it. Okay, I'm going to do one more but this time I'm going to use it so it's 100%. So if we listen... There, you can hear it's quite high now. I had the level depth set to the minimum. I engaged the effect, then slowly turned that up. If I had the effect at 12 o'clock and just brought the effect in, it would boom, it'd be straight there. So it wouldn't work as well as if you slowly start to bring that effect in. Okay, so let's try and find one more. Okay, so this time we're going to go higher. I think this is Imani Caco.

I think that's how you spell it. It's only the 7-inch mix, so... Here we go. Oh, I'm doing something wrong here. Oh, I know what I'm doing wrong. Make sure I have the correct channel for the effect. Duh. OK. Bring volume up. Ready? Engage. There you go. Very simple. You know, all I'm trying to do here is make something happen in between the two tracks, OK? Don't forget, check that link out in the description. House Tunes April 2021. Practice and enjoy. Put it forward a little bit.
