    The "EQ Swap" is my favorite technique. I normally try to do the "seamless" technique but I always feel rushed, but now the "EQ Swap" seems to be better suited for my style of mixing. I loved everything about the tutorial and not only am I going to try the "EQ Swap" I'm going to try to use Highs in "Seamless" since I usually only do the Mids and the Lows. #GameChanger

    I’m a big fan of layering, I think it brings high energy and takes the listener on a journey. It allows them to hear different elements of songs together. Loads of my pals ask me ‘what was that remix’ when really it was just two songs which absolutely bang together 😮‍💨. Love the video Jamie 👍🏽

  • @pesceaffumicato8617

    EQ Swap is definitely my favourite one to keep the crowd engaged and keep full control over the transition. When I started mixing I would just fade in and fade out but as soon as you start doing multi genre mixes with diverse drum patterns and basslines, you need to get more creative to create smooth blends.

    @awesomeangus8364 2 роки тому +1

    My fav tip was how to layer, as it takes so much to get it right. The tip was how you keep one track on the bass and the other on the vocal, but you have to change the bass and remove one of the middles to allow one track to be vocal and other the song, thanks for the vid, even though it was short it was really good👍🏻

    Just got my first controller 2 days ago! I’m luck I went to college for guitar for a minute so I understand key matching well from music theory classes. I actually use classic notation because it’s what I learned. But this video showing to start the next track on the drop of the previous was very helpful. The blending and transitions are way more of an art then what people and musicians like myself have thought. Thank you for this very informative video and structuring it the way you do!

    House music is SO popular. Even bassheads like myself are loving it these days. I can understand why this video was made but I completed the beginner DJ course and learned ALL OF THIS stuff in it. Thank you so much to Crossfader for your educational material and courses. I can't wait to continue on to intermediate, advanced, and scratching!
    My favorite tip is the EQ swap. Super easy tip for beginners that gives you a chance to recognize the his, mids, and lows so that you know what the music is going to sound like before you even change the EQ. #wearecrossfader

Layering from my perspective helps keep the audience in the groove of music and doesn’t confuse them by gently blending and layering in the next track, but employs impactful cross overs by introducing the lows at a moment when everyone may have though there would be a break in the track, but the rhythm keeps going! #wearecrossfader
