Simple bass Swap DJ Lesson via Tribe XR in Virtual Reality

Alright ladies and gentlemen, welcome to TribeXR. In this video I'm going to be doing a very simple bass swap transition. So the idea here is for a beginner to understand the easiest way of using the bass dials on a mixer and also how to do a bass swap. Now the track I'm using is from Hospital Records, so many thanks to Hospital Records for letting me use their tunes on the Ellaskins channel. Don't forget as well to like and subscribe. The track I'm using is by Flavoured D, it's entitled Desert Light. So let me play a little bit of the track for you first of all. A nice melodic sort of wobbly bass line here. Very nice. Okay, so what I'm going to be doing first of all, in fact what I will do now, is explain to you how to do this.

So I'm going to explain the setup. It is very, very simple. All you need to do is make sure you have a mirror image on both sides. So your right deck is a mirror image of the left deck. And I have set cue points here. You can hear that. Starts with the bass line. Same on the left deck. So right and left deck, exactly the same positions. Okay, so what I'm going to do. Is I'm going to turn the bass down on the left deck. So the bass is down and I've got the base up on the right deck. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to press play on the right deck. I'm going to count 8 bars and then after 8 bars I'm going to bring in the left deck. Slowly bring the volume up. And then as soon as the volume is all the way up, I'm going to increase the bass on the left and decrease the bass on the right hand side at the same time.

So there you have it.

The same time so here we go so volume up and one two three five relatively quickly again i do have okay so let's repeat the process this time we're going to do it the other way uh once i've done this a second time then i'll explain exactly you know the reasons for bass swap and why you would want to do it in the first place so let's start again this time though with the left hand side first so one two four five seven okay so first and foremost uh again with mixing any style of dance music really a lot of the time it's about making sure you're in beat on beat and also in phrase the reason for that is that if you're not in phrase for example if you start your second track let's say on the second beat third beat or even fourth beat you will be out by said amount of beats so if you

Start let's say the track on the fourth beat you'll always be out by one beat if you start it on the third beat you can always be out by two beats and so on so there i made sure i started the track on the one also what i did is as i was bringing the volumes up i made sure the volume came up relatively slowly so that's why i'm going to show you how to do this in a little bit later slowly and then my move on the bass dials was the same on both sides but sort of the opposite so as i was turning one down i was turning the other one up so this way you get a smooth transition of base now there is another way of doing this which is just a quick swap so what you do there is as one is off the other one is on straight away now a lot of this

Tracks themselves you may find that you don't want to have both bass lines working over each other for a great amount of time whether that be one beat two beats three or even four beats or even two bars so sometimes you just may want the base swap to take place on one beat in that case it's a quick move on the other hand you may find it's a nice idea to maybe do a base swap and take a little bit of time but if you do take some time try and do it in time with the track whether it be one bar or two bars okay so let's just do that one more time so again i've got the bass off on the left deck so let's press play on the right

Ready to start the left you wouldn't have been able to tell go ladies and gentlemen there's a link in the description that will take you to the tribe xr website also the discord channel where you can get involved with tribe even if you want but it's worth a little bit of time there is music here that's
