    14:16 Just obe more detail (yes, I'm picky).
    He's playing the track until the next 1. That just feels more natural and is a little bit easier.
    But it sounds more natural to only play it until the 4. The singer is breathing between the 4 and the next 1. You wouldn't breathe there if you wouldn't continue singing. So it would sound even more natural if you cut out with the crossfader on the 4.

    This is a decent technique I’ve had incorporated for a while now starting to manipulate sounds with my hand on the platter the possibilities really are endless you could scratch in a nice heavy bassline project it into the background of the other track with subtle touches sharp clean cuts, then there’s endless creativity cutting in hats or beats, other instruments. This is a great video wish there was more advanced like it around. Cheers💯

    13:58 - I haven't used Serato in a while but from memory, if the track is already playing, hitting a hot cue button or key once and taking your finger off would start the track playing from the cue point and keep playing, whereas if the track was stationary to begin with you would have to keep your finger on the cue button/key to keep the track playing from the cue point.

    • @LucIndustries
      @LucIndustries 4 роки тому

      Odd choice but makes sense if you wanna do it kind of oldschool where you just have samples and one shots comming in over an entire deck.
      You know similar to those vinyls that just contain like 50 music and vocal loops

    • @djtweezy06
      @djtweezy06 3 роки тому

      Is there a way in serato to change that. Just like the video I want to have my hot cue start the track and continue to play when I release the button

    • @jonnynava2213
      @jonnynava2213 3 роки тому

      I have the sx2 and if the track its already playing and press a hot cue the track keeps playing the hot cue but if the track its pause or not playing and you press the hot cue it will only play the track as long as you keep pressing the hot cue onnce you let go it will go back where the hot cue starts

  • @BecauseGames

    worth having somewhere to go if you are doing this as part of a performance, don't get trapped in it, having more than 2 decks and preping a drop on your 3rd deck before performing a section like this is a good idea.

    In Serato you don't need to use the crossfader, just press and hold the hotcue releasing the hotcue when you want it to stop(when the track is not playing of course).

    Few Questions if anybody can help...
    1. When I’m playing a track and I hit the outside button it make a studdering sounds like it’s skipping.. stops when I hit other cue button...
    2. If I load a new track in the player with hot cues... wheni hit the hot cue button the cdj will jump back to the previous song and play the hot cues from that track... the new song disappears can’t figure that one out...
    3. When I load a song into the cdj it starts playing automatically.. I tried to switch off that function but sometime it still does it..
    Need help Thanks..
