Numark NV Video Transition Demonstration Tutorial Using Virtual DJ

0:00 Vocals vocals, gaga poker, transition

Right guys, just in case I have problems with this video, I've also done it on Facebook, I'll put a link in the description. So we've got the time black eyed peas, we've also got Lady Gaga poker face, we're going to have a transition using the two. The object behind this video is to get a smooth transition vocal wise, no vocals going over vocals, we want one vocals to stop perfectly, the other one to start perfectly. So in other words, stop, start, bang, away we go, keeping some form of flow and continuity. So, what I've done is I've set a cue point on the time, letting Lady Gaga play. Now this kind of transition you can do in two ways, one you can do a very basic mix, or the other one is you could just bring the track straight in.

It's entirely up to you, I mean believe me, I've done thousands of videos, I could probably do thousands of videos just on these two tracks alone, so the mind boggles as to how many ways. Of forming transitions with even just two tracks can be, can be made. What I'm trying to do as well is keep the flow, keep the vibe in the room and we can do just that with this sort of transition. So let's have a listen, this is Lady Gaga by the way on poker face and please YouTube don't take this video off because it's a demonstration, it's a tutorial, I'm not trying to rob you of anything, have a listen.

1:23 Lady gaga, gaga start, gaga having

Okay so if I talk over it as well that might help. Now we can hear Lady Gaga and what I'm going to start doing is start to bring in the time about, well not about, it's going to be here. Two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, there, two. Okay so we had the chorus and then the verse in Lady Gaga started at that point. What I'm going to do we have the chorus of Lady Gaga but I'm having the chorus of Lady Gaga. I'm having the verse of the Black Eyed Peas start at the point where Lady Gaga would start her verse, you'll follow. Okay so let's do that again and this is the point where I've got the hot cue in the time. So listen, okay so the software I'm using by the way is Virtual DJ 8

2:52 Let's play this, there, okay and again chorus

And the controller here is Serato based even though you can now use it on Virtual DJ but it's the Newmark NV and it's the world's first controller where you can pretty much close your laptop and look at the controller instead of gawping at a screen all night which isn't really advisable because the crowd want to see you looking at them not you looking at the controller. Okay so let's play this, there, okay and again chorus. Two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. Two, three, four, one, two, three, four. Get ready to bring it in. Three, four, one, two, three, four. There, bang. Now I'm thinking as well out loud that's probably the better transition because if you listen to the time

There's a slight introduction before the chorus, the verse comes in. See? So we don't want to miss that out so that's probably the better one to do. All right so there you go it's the Newmark NV and like I said it's pretty much the only controller out there in the world at the moment where you can close your laptop. Go and check it out, I'll put a link in the description. Virtual DJ 8, Poker Face and the Time Black Eyed Peas. So there you go YouTube, I've promoted the videos. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
