I use the following in order: 1. Roll 1/2 2. Reverb 50 3. Echo 1/2 This is all with one hand, Same time i use other hand bring the fader down as soon as i press those FX together. And immediately press play in like 4th beat of the current track. 99% of the time it blends flawlessly with any BPM any genre.

Great one. Those who use Traktor pro plus, first effect can be achieve with Beatmasher 2. - So must be in Group/Insert then set button 1 and 2 how you want to be. Break is on Turntable effect. Traktor pro plus doesn't have roll instead we have beatmasher 2 which work the same.
@@djcarlo Traktor has 43 different effects. I've been using it since series 1. Now I'm using it with the Pioneer DDJ 1000 Full mapping, everything works. I prefer it over the others because it is a very fast software. I've tried them all, Traktor is the fastest and most accurate. My opinion is this, the best software is Traktor pro plus and the best controllers are Pioneer. This is a personal opinion ;) I only make 90s music, that's why I ask you so many times if you will make one too. I really want to learn something new. Like every time you post something. I'm testing it right away.
I'm also using an sx2! I can't use it with rekordbox though, only serato, and pad fx are kinda limited to the roll and slicer. what pad fx are you using on your sx2?
Honestly, wouldn’t recommend using PAD fx if you’re planning on becoming a performing DJ. CDJ’s and a lot of standalone controllers won’t have the option to use the pad FX. If you’re ever going to be playing a show get some tape and look at the CDJ’s you’re going to use and tape off everything that’s the CDJ you’re using doesn’t have. 👍
Id say it's a half and half. Those who use DVS sometimes also use things like the SP1 to augment their sets and access pad FX and whatnot. I also know DJs who use Pad FX when using controllers, and do an equally great job when using just CDJs; they just adjust on the spot 🥳
@@djcarlo fair point, ig I never really thought about all the extra stuff haha. I just got into DJing about a year ago and started off with your content and tips and tricks, but it was a suggestion one of my older DJ buddies gave me and it’s been helping me tremendously performing live.

Been using Pad Fx for a couple of years. WAY better than the alternative. People sleep on pad fx even though the XDZ XZ has them built in a they promoted it as a feature. People prefer doing things the hard, less efficient, less effective way I guess.
Echo effect DJs . Should be banned.... Check out Tomorrowland its like that is the only way they can mix nowadays.. they dont use the sync button------ anymore...

Dude! as always you're giving us the straight dope! Using this immediately!
Always and forever! Glad you can make use of this one!
I abuse my pad effects. I actually bought an XP2 so I don't have to bounce layers I use them so much. Always loved what you just showed.
That's what I did too back in the day! Pad FX are the BEST.
Xp2?

School's in session! Hahaha
I've been using pad fx as my main fx to mix out of a track because of this video 😂 never use fx on the mixer again. Thank u carlo 🙌

Pad fx is underrated, I still use my ddj sx2 and no other set has beaten is price/quality wise.
Right?! I love making use of Pad FX!

It’s so good to see that you’re still thriving in the dj world
Good to see you back as well! Where have you been? 🥳

Thank you very much for the video and tips. Whats the genre called you are mixing? I am looking for good tracks to learn this too. Where can I find them?
I know it's a form of Edm, but im not sure what to call it. I'd say bass house, but someone might have a better idea 😅
slip loop is better than roll, you can use the half and double loop buttons to change the length of the loop to whatever you need
That's another interesting effect! Maybe I'll do a video on that too
Im learning every time i watch you!
I'm so glad you do! That's the idea behind these shorts 🥳
Awesome bro that is so good

So happy you love the channel buddy! Keep up the passion for DJing!
I love your videos, but am mostly lost how to do these things on Traktor. Do I have to change hardware? :/
These ones aren't available on Traktor. Pad FX, I believe, is still exclusive for Rekordbox
Similar to Traktor's effect combination using The MIDI Fighter back in the 2010's
Pretty much yes! Except this one seems to have flown under the radar
On point bro As always 😊Thanks 👊🏽
Thank you so much! Hope you enjoyed the little tip!
You’re such and incredibly great resource! Thank you Carlo!
Youre very welcome! I always try to teach others new things and new tricks, and im glad you're learning from the vidoes!
simple with just the right combination👏🏽
Indeed! It's really fun to play around with!
Wowwwww you're the reason why I will definitely improve on my mixing style ❤️🇨🇩🇺🇬...
Never stop man! Even to this day, I always try to find new ways to mix things up!

Do you have pads on the platters of the flx4?
Nope! That's just video editing magic ;)
as a listener, this is just really weird. as a dj this makes it ez to transition. i dont think ill personally be using this..
That's a fair way of looking at it, but some listeners do enjoy it!
Ratata sounded hard ngl
It's one of my favorite songs from that album!
would you recommend getting the ddj flex 4 over the flex 6
Yes. I find the FLX4's overall layout to be much more intuitive than the FLX6's

People sleep HARD on Pad FX! I spam them at times in my mixes. Can't live without 'em nowadays!
That’s pretty dope. Is there a similar thing we can do for Serato? I hope? Lol
From what I recall, Serato doesn't have quite the same features
Track choices are fire
Thank you! Really hope you loved the quick demo!
Thinking of all the gear id need to do tbis stuff on a turntable. No wonder i gave up with the turntables.
Actually! Adding one extra peripheral to the turntables would've allowed you to do this, but yeah, nothing beats the convenience of a controller 🥳
that is wildly useful, thank you!
Right?! Such an underrated trick. So glad you learned from the video!
Solid as always!
Thank you! Glad you always like my quick, little tips here
@@djcarlo they’re great to give a creative boost, especially when the old tricks start getting stale. Awesome work!
Damn, this is so good man 🔥🔥
Thank you! And right?? This is such an underrated feature
Love this but a little slower please
Had to keep it tight for the short!
Try pause it after every little step. You'll get there 🎉
Just make sure to hit hit the button again because it stays on the whole time. Even when loading in a new track
Oh yes! Very important to remember this for certain Pad FX
Nice. Thank you for sharing
For sure! Always got more of these to share Benjie!
How can you set this up on Serato using something like the ddj1000?
You can't. Pad FX is a Rekordbox thing only as far as I know 😞
Can QUE point be combined with Roll 1/2 or 1/4 ? So instead of press que few time to use it with button ?
If I'm not mistaken, yes!
@@djcarlo I tried everything i cant make it work ;(
MOREEE TIPS LIKE THIS PLEASE 🙏☺️
For sure Jeakun! Got more coming up for you soon!
This is dope!
Hope you get to use it in your sets! Adds quite a lot!
You are perfect professional I'm you fan❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words!
What Controller/Software do you use or recommend
Do a cross check between Serato, Rekordbox and Djay! As for controllers, check out my Best DJ Gear video for ideas
Hi! Quick question what software do you use?
I was using Rekordboc here
@@djcarloThanks!
Right ON! Thank you DjCarlo
For sure! Having fun making use of this little trick buddy!
can you tell me what the version of the track? please?
That's Skrillex's Ratata! With Missy Elliot on there too
Dude! What about same thing in Serato?
You can do some remapping to get it on stems! These are built in features that can be easily accessed on the interface
Amazing as always ❤
Always trying to do my best over here foe these mini tutorials! Hehe
And you nailed it again ❤
Almost a Brazilian funk
Almost! Just a little more breakbeat/freestyle influenced 🥳
Anything similar on serato?
Not quite unfortunately. This is one of those Rekordbox features that make me use it more haha
Hi Carlo. Can I do this trick using virtual dj?
Unfortunately, I don't know. I dont know enough about VDJ to say 😅
I only have one row of buttons on the xdj rr , is any change to do it?
You'll need to remap it Id say
I’m using the flex 6 pioneer controller how do I customize what my pads do
Check out my Best Settings video! I recall dedicating a part of that video to Pad FX. It's all about the software 🥳
@@djcarlo 🙏🏾🙏🏾
This has been a gamechanger for me
I bet you can't stop using it now, huh? Haha
Me being the madlad i am and using Mixxx for my stuffs, also whats the name of the last song 👀
Skrillex - Ratata. Samples a great Missy Elliot song too!
Do you have anything similar in serato?
Unfortunately no. Serato works somewhat differently from Rekordbox
@@djcarlo thanks
Can this be done in Serato ? (The Second Part)
Unfortunately, from what I know, no. Pad FX is a Rekordbox feature
How do you save all your settings ? Everytime I go to use my controller it's back to standard
That's odd! Once you edit the settings, they should stay that way
@@djcarlo yeah they don't it's like it goes back to start up ? I have to always set up each time I use it
Dude this is some fire game
Pretty cool right? This is one of those Rekordbox things that I feel sets it apart from the competition!
Thanx for your support for us
Of course! I always support my fellow DJs. Nothing but love and camaraderie for y'all! :)
Does this work on xdj or cdj's?
I believe so! The newer models have beat slicer I think
THAT'S SICK!
Cool stuff right?
Very cool appreciate the explanation of this!
For sure! It's funny how underrated this feature is
You got skills B
Cooooool. Too bad I sold my rekordbox controller XD
Oof, now there lies the rub 😅
Yooooooooo Fya!!!
Great little trick, right?
How to manage the duplicate files in Rekordbox collection ? I have many duplicate files (1 file song can have 3-4 or more duplicate) 😭
Oh man, I had to comb through mine manually. Try going by name, then seeing what duplicates you have
Thanks ! Amazing !
Cool right? More people should really look into checking out what their programs can do
@@djcarloYes of course. Do you have a program course can I buy please ?
I always use it bc I can't select a filter in time 😅
You'll be able to select a filter in time in the future! It just takes getting used to
Hold shift and hit the cue button it will activate the hidden feature without having to change to pad efx
Ohhhh, good catch!
💥🚀🚀🚀🚀
🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩
is there a setting to turn on so i dont have to hold the pad
From what I recall, no. You'll need to hold them down to trigger the effects
How about in Serato? How?
Serato doesn't have quite any similar functions unfortunately
Honestly, too many people are using it and it's really annoying. Not sure why you think no one is using.
Really?! I may just be going to the wrong places. Ive only heard one other DJ use it!
@@djcarlo it's probably depending of the scene/genre related of events you attend ;-)
RATATA(love this! thanks!)
Believe me, it got stuck in my head for a bit after editing this
Echo effect DJs . Should be banned.... Check out Tomorrowland its like that is the only way they can mix nowadays.. they dont use the sync button------ anymore...
Well, the echo effect is still a great little tool to amp up your sets, so I dont think they're doing a bad job
I chose the wrong DJ software.. might need to make a switch soon
Which software did you go for?
Can we be friends pls
Internet friends is okay! Haha
Dang that's crazy
Cool stuff right? Try your hand at it! It's fun to play around with!
Love it
It's a cool little technique!
I can’t even get my SoundCloud on rekordbox on my laptop
That's strange! They have a service for that. What happens when you try?
Sick 🔥🔥
Cool right? Don't forget to activate them on your Rekrodbox!
with djuced?
I'm not well versed with DJuced, so I'll need to do research there first
interesting i have to remember that
It's fun stuff to remember!
👍👍👏👏👏
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Awesome
Cool right? More folks should give this one a shot
You're a God kuya
Hahahaha, thanks man! But no, I'm just a guy who likes teaching 🤭
Wow cool Hack! Thx
Right?! Something really worth investing some time into!
It’s only a secret if you never read the manual
And we all know how 90% of folks treat manuals haha
MAKE ONE FOR SERATO PLSSSSS
Unfortunately, I can't. Serato doesn't exactly this kind of function

And then when you go to a club and have to play on a xdj or cdj youre fucked 😁
Doesn't mean you can't have them on your home system!
Thanks 😊
For sure Mah! Enjoy using this feature!
Great!

🖤🖤🖤
Woohoo!
Is this Rekordbox free? If so can I get the link?
Just check the Rekordbox website for the download! It should be there 🥳

Can that work for serato
Unfortunately no. Rekordbox has a few tricks up it's sleeve that Serato doesn't
