Pitch Slip and Loop Demonstration

Alright guys, some more tips and tricks for you. In this video we're using the Denon DNX120 mixer and the Pioneer CDJ900. In this video we're going to use the pitch control without the master tempo on. We're going to do a bit of looping and we can use the slip mode at the same time. Now what you have to remember with the slip mode on this guy is that when you form a loop, you will have that loop playing continually but the underlying track will carry on going. That is very important to remember when you're forming a loop on the 900. So, first of all, I'll give you a demo. Have a listen. Very subtle, but it sounds pretty good when done in the correct place. Here we go. What was I doing? One, two, three, four. Four moves on the pitch control. What you're actually doing, it's a very subtle move. The crowd don't really know what's going on, but admittedly you're slowing the track down, but you're also slowing the key.

The music. So you're going to bow, bow, bow, bow and straight up again. I'll do it again. Also very important in time. Two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Bring it straight back up. What I'm going to do now is put slip mode on. I've done this before. When forming a loop, quite often it's a good idea to not hit the loop on the beat but just slightly off. We've got a loop but at the same time... The underlying track is still playing. Bang, straight in. One or two tricks there just on the player without any other effects and in a sense right time, right place can sound pretty good. Practice and enjoy.
