Alright guys, another video on Scratch DJ Academy Mix, DJ software for mixing and analysing tracks. It's from a company called Stanton. Now in this video what I'm going to do is show the similarity between doing a mix and this guy here, the Camelot wheel. First of all, what is a Camelot wheel? It's a way of showing how particular sounds work with each other. For example... From here to here is fine. From there to there, there to there is fine. But if we go from there across to there or there across to there it won't work. Now if we have a look we can see D minor and there we can see A minor. Now we can go across like so. We could also do a jump and there are other ways of going around the wheel but a definite no-no

1:04 He's across like so or across like that

He's across like so or across like that. Now we've got D minor and we've got A minor, 7A and 8A. Now if we look up here what this software will do it will give us the keys and we have two tunes there one in D minor and one in A minor. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to play You can hear that. I'm just going to take this over to there. I'll just stop it for a second. Now, also we can see the mix length. At the moment we've got that for eight bars so we can drop it straight in. In other words, we could just go directly from one tune to the other. Alternatively, one bar for eight bars. Bearing in mind one bar is a count of four. Four bars will be 4, 8, 12, 16. And eight bars is a lot. OK. Right. So I'm going to put that over to there. Excuse me. Now let's have a listen. Now what we're trying to listen for is the sound of the two tracks working together. So let's press play. There we go. Can you also hear a lift? There's an actual lift in the mix.

A lift in the sound. So if we go over to the camelot wheel, we've gone from D minor to A minor, 7 to 8. So we've got a natural lift in the sound. Alright, video number two on this guy from Stanton. There will be more. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
