Numark NV with Serato DJ Cue Function with the Use of the Play Pause

0:00 We're rocking the Newmark NV

Right, ladies and gentlemen, we're rocking the Newmark NV. We have Serato DJ as software. Track is from the Karmic Power Stables, Show Me Some Respect, which is just an absolute killer, killer cut. Alright, in this video what we're going to do, we're going to use the hot cues but in a slightly different way. Now, if you're familiar with hot cues on the Newmark NV, there are eight of them. What you can do is you can set eight points in a track and you can pretty much rip the track up, just like pull it apart, make some noise, just disrespect the track and give it some SHIP. I'm dyslexic. Okay, so let's have a listen to the track first.

Beautiful track. Absolutely immense. We're just going to go a little bit forward in the track. If you want any info on the track, I'll put a link in the description, okay? Absolutely love this cut.

Wow.

Love it. Okay, so check it out. Four, two, three, four.

1:28 You'll notice when I hit the hot cues, track carries on

Now, you'll notice when I hit the hot cues, track carries on. Play, we just turn up slightly. So it's facing me a little bit better now there. What I did. I moved the volumes down just to get that tiny part of the track. Have a listen, but you don't have to do that. What you can do is pause. So I've now paused the track so and then while your fingers on the hot cue press play pause again and it carries on playing two, three, four. Agreed. It takes a bit of practice. But, again, a little demonstration like this may change your set very slightly. The analogy I give you, and I've given this analogy before, you want a nice sort of, I don't know, blue colour to your wall in your bedroom. But you want a subtle blue, so you add a tiny bit of white and it just reduces the tone.

So by doing something like this, you're just changing your set a tiny, tiny little bit. That's all it is. It's about just experimenting.

3:38 Being on a keyboard, it is literally like being on a keyboard

Check this out. Being on a keyboard, it is literally like being on a keyboard. But how about this? Right, now again, sorry, I'm thinking outside the box. Imagine you have... All right, let's start again. Imagine you sample someone playing a keyboard. Just da-da-da-da-da-da-da, like that then. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and so on. You could just go to town. Just... Do you know what? I wish you were here because we would have some fun. Practice and enjoy.
