    I wasnt even thinking of using looping for the ending of a song when running out of time on a time wow i learn something new lol

      Yeah it’s a very important part of electronic DJing as some tracks may have a very short outro and that loop allows to naturally bring that next track in smoothly .....most tracks to mix in properly need at least 90 seconds for that next transition if not......loop it

    I'm confused on how many bars to loop a song when beat matching. Do I loop 4, 8, 16, or 32 bars?

    Hi, what do you mean around 8:20 when you say "filtering up" ?
    Does it mean takin away the highs or the lows ? Thanks.

    • @waylandsmith
      @waylandsmith 4 года назад +1

      He turned the knob 'up' clockwise, which engages the high-pass filter, which removes the lows.

    • @patrykb9091
      @patrykb9091 6 лет назад +2

      its not the bpm changing its just a poorly analyzed track and the grid needs be manually adjust if you're using auto loop or if your manually looping you need to work on your timing.

  • @JuanitoG1
    @JuanitoG1 5 лет назад +1

    I don't understand why all songs have the same structure? (Intro, breakdown, build up, outro.) And why is it that all songs are organised in bars of four beats ? Is there an arrangement between all music producers to follow this structure or is using an other structure not done or not possible to create ? I am not sure I'm explaining well what I mean. :)

    • @on-the-rocks
      @on-the-rocks 4 года назад

      Juanito G. Its so that it’s easier for DJs to mix!

    • @gastonatencio4666
      @gastonatencio4666 2 года назад

      Well what we normally listen to is on a tempo of 4/4, of course it depends on the genre as well (there are some blues and jazz in 3/3 etc. etc.) and you can always check music written in odd tempos like 7/8; 3/4...
      The thing is these type of music are sometimes difficult to keep up when dancing, and EDM or other popular genres are meant to dance so its common to use a tempo that works for it.
      The structure thing its just very common but not a strict rule (there are some songs with 7 minutes of guitar solos that just keep growing and building up but then the song ends with no "outro" xD).
      Hope its not to late for my comment haha.

    Phil Harris!! Nice video. While I am not a beginner, I did learn something. I've always just done "sock hop" style DJing. Play a song, get to the next one with no dead air, no dancers standing around going "well, what's he gonna play?" I knew about the 2nd technique (at least the part where you mess with the loop length) but I never really quite got the second part of that example where you use it to transition cleanly to the next track. NICE. Yes, if an old dog wants to learn, you can teach him a new trick!

    • @oOcraig787Oo
      @oOcraig787Oo 6 лет назад +3

      I think you either have to do it manually with the 'IN' 'OUT' buttons, or click loop on your software

    • @DJFiroma
      @DJFiroma 6 лет назад +1

      I think you already know, but you can press the in and keep holding it for an auto loop of 4 bars, alternatively you could map the autoloop in the pads you don't use that much.

    Suggestions: I am a noob at DJying but even I could tell that you were offbeat during the transition. Also a little more "knob" details would have been helpful.

    •  5 лет назад +2

      There's an unspoken rule of arts: if you screwed up but the public didn't notice, it's not a screwup. Our job as artists is to do everything with a purpose, even making mistakes.

  • @levonwijngaard
    @levonwijngaard 6 лет назад +1

    hey, your looping and counting is not really on point. you are looping not at the 1 from the 1, 2, 3, 4. So the loop what u get, when its not on the 1 is really weird and not natural.
    And the left song (3:53) is also not looped at the 1. Then you beatmatch the right song, and again, your are not starting it at the 1. So what you get now is that the 2 songs are not well mixed together and also put the low freq out on the track u bring in not the track thats already up.
    i cant really explain this well so i think im making a video on how to PROPER beatmatch and loop.
    No offence, just how to do it right.

    • @cyrusjulian187
      @cyrusjulian187 6 лет назад

      Feel110 Even tho the first loop doesn’t start on the 1, it still is a perfect loop as it has a “groove”. If you hear the downbeats, they’re still in time with each other. Second, the beat he mixes in next sounded ight to me. I’d recommend you listen to this older techno DJ named Richie Hawtin, he plays with 4 tracks and they’re looped all over the place but it’s the “groove” that matters. There’s a million DJs who can be “technically right” but it’s the “groove” that’s special. Peace and looking forward to seeing all of you perform at Wonderland and EDC

    • @levonwijngaard
      @levonwijngaard 6 лет назад

      @@cyrusjulian187 thats not how it works. If you want a good mix and beatmatch you need to count to 32 over and over. If you have practiced it goes automatically. Its important because if when you play live the crowd expects when certain points come in a track. If you have a build up and the 32 beats from an autro and the 32 beats section is over and the build up is not finished ot doesnt work together. It is just hard to explain. Watch mrbelt and wezol dj tutorial
      It becomes clear to everyone. Thats real djing. Im a dj too in some local clubs. So i have experience.

    Avicii was a Composer/Producer. He was not a real "DJ." He had to fake DJ'ing on stage because he was basically forced to by his manager, Arash, who was money hungry. Avicii was paid to put on a phenomenal show for the promoters and most importantly, his fans. Avicii used tracks of his own, as well as picking other tracks from other Artist's and composed all tracks into 1 full composition. Whether or not if he was in a club or festival, he would pre-record his sets for every show. Remember, Avicii wanted to entertain, not DJ.

    • @sml5386
      @sml5386 2 года назад

      This is not true, his sets were not pre-recorded and he wasn't "faking" it
