Contents of the video

Alright guys, another tips and tricks video. Now in this video you may find a couple of points that can lead you in the right direction, otherwise you could maybe just find one tiny aspect that you've thought about and wondered about for a long time. Now the tunes I'm using on this side here is the Universal Life Orchestra featuring Ruthie G, When I'm Gone by Enzyme Black. It's out 1st June 2010. This player here is the KCD400 MP3. This guy here what we're concentrating on is a DJM400. This guy over here is the Stanton C.324. Okay, how do you get three channels from a two channel mixer? I've done a video similar to this but I'm going to go slightly more detailed. Well, I'll show you. What I'm going to do is I'm going to set the roll feature to 4 over 1. I'm going to set the channel select to 1 and we're just going to play the tune. Have a listen.

What I'm going to do now is just hit the tap button. You'll notice this go back to the 1 over 1. It doesn't matter. We're just making sure in time. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. Alright, hit 4 over 1. What I'm going to do, level depth set to 12 o'clock. Hit the equalizer. On, off on the count of 1. 3, 4.

Right, I've got a loop. All I need to do now is switch channel select over to mic. Have a listen.

Now, I've got a loop. Check this out. Tune over there. It's Mario Fabrini, a track entitled Groove Bug. Here we go.

Three channels, two channel mixer. Bit of time, headphones. What can you do? Practice and enjoy.

Original loop.
