    This video is very much specific for tech house music I think. I like the more natural long loops to blend tracks more naturally.

      as long as there is a long build up it works great. I am doing all of these mixes with hybrid trap with varying levels of success. He literally has the perfect vocal loop, and using a kick or a snare also works but not as well.

    • @baxtamusic
      @baxtamusic 9 днів тому

      same, this is quite boring and repetitive, you wanna use loops for on the fly bootlegs, mixing etc...

    Love this video!! Thank you! So creative. I’ve been finding ways to use and get these similar things on my REV1 in Serato lite. Have to move more diligent and quicker but it’s worth the work i enjoy being human lol. “Easy” is for chumps & robots!!

    I agree- that initial loop technique is whack as heck. Try looping rhythmic material, or areas of the outgoing track where the melodic elements are still present but more sparse, then let the mix ride for a while for a long blend. This has a way of making it feel like a track is always slightly different when you play it. Admittedly, this works better for deep tech styles that I favor, rather than drop-heavy genres.

    • @TheBBoySwing

    • @SBK_ALL_DAY
      @SBK_ALL_DAY 21 день тому

      That tech works so good for drop heavy genres, you can loop a melodic section from the incoming track for a good while than mix normally and it just makes the two tracks more glued together.

    @EricBishard Місяць тому

    I use the trans and filter a lot. The only time I trigger a loop for a stutter effect outside of adding some effects to it might be when I loop a previous tracks hi hat and use it to intensify a build up, but i also try to filer, echo, dub echo maybe, or reverb which is my favorite and as the loop speeds up I crank the reverb while I'm pulling the fader down for whoosh.

    Can you guys ever teach something about tribe house or EDM music ? They are very very popular at circuit parties , lots of people love it and there are absolutely no videos online teaching any skills about it .

    • @telmomoreira7616
      @telmomoreira7616 12 днів тому

      These approaches are used in those genres and EDM is popular but Psytrance (tribe music) not really, its more like a side hustel for a lot of dj´s.
      Regardless when summer ends both of those genres die down until NYE and then die down again until summer.

    another technique you had shown in an older video was using the different loop lengths via the performance pads
    alternating between halving and doubling was an excellent way to spice up a loop-based transition
    or hitting “in” rhythmically

    @TheBluffStudios 2 місяці тому +1

    For the pitch thing.. I assume you're using the tempo slider to accommodate for as many controllers as possible? Or is there a reason not to use the FLX10's pitch knob in this case?

  • @jhdrummer4815
    @jhdrummer4815 2 місяці тому +3

    Inspiring, but nothing can beat a transition based on good phrasing choices. A little bit to show off as a DJ but used very sparingly I guess.

  • @djtonyserrano
    @djtonyserrano 2 місяці тому

    Hey guys, just one question. When changing the tempo range, I guess you can only apply it on a track that is at its original BPM. Otherwise, the BPM will drastically change. Any ideas of how to bypass this ? Thank you for the awesome video as usual. Always learning !

    • @mrbishi634
      @mrbishi634 Місяць тому

      I think you have to do it right after you load the track before you start the actual mix. Otherwise you can try to move the tempo fader slowly until it matches the position of the BPM and then adjust from there, but that doesn't always work.

      I'm used to the buttons now, but this is the #1 thing that NI did better than Pioneer in controller design, and a significant omission on the CDJ-3000 and the FLX-10. WTH did Alpha Theta only put that on the Opus Quad which is not a performance-style oriented device?

    For the method at 3:50 do you by chance know anything about making the same exact vinyl brake speed adjustment on XDJ-RX3’s? I believe it must be a mistake in their software in regards to RX3s as I’ve tried them on 2 different decks and different laptops and you cannot adjust the vinyl brake speed via rekordbox, only the release/start speed, the brake speed is grayed out for whatever reason. You can adjust the speed via the decks themselves however only in certain increments which doesn’t help as they’re not really to my liking or need, it is nearly impossible to replicate many methods that incorporate this feature.
