    You are definitely one of the best DJs out there and probably the best RUclipsr for tutorials. Youre able to do it the old school way, truly understand your music and beats. Man you got it all! Clear, informative, and yet humble. I'm trying to learn how to mix house but I also wanted to learn hip hop so thank you for providing such a great outlet for beginners!

    Hi guys,
    I've been extremely busy with different projects, gigs and private life and as a result I was not able to make new video's in the last two weeks. I'm back in the lab right now and the new video's are dropping asap!
    Thanks for the support and patience.

      @@djTLMtv Haven't tried Djing myself yet, but been watching your videos from time to time, really nice content!!! Is there a way to do this transition, analog with vinyl? Like cueing that loop with two records, as you showed in the beginning and then switching to a third faster record on a third turntable? Or would you need 4 hands for that? Or could you nudge the record back only with the left hand and have a scratch-hot-scratch-hot sound as the loop, and then switch to the second record, or is it impossible to get that down precisely enough?

  • @kenlee79
    @kenlee79 11 лет назад +1

    Absolutely excellent tutorial about the general idea of 'Looping". While there are plenty more uses and functions around looping, djTLMtv covers the most basic but extremely important aspects. Looping is key in presenting your audience with a silky smooth and grain-free performance, its not a means of 'cheating' when one cannot mix within a time frame. Keep in mind that when you mix 2 tracks you are creating something beautifully harmonic (assuming you are mixing 2 tracks that are within the harmonic circle), it essentially becomes 1 track. 2 tracks played harmonically has the potential to yield an immense quality of a mix. It also aids you in creating more 'time' within the tracks, allowing more freedom to tweak in effects. All the top DJs, especially in the dance music genre use it religiously, why shouldn't you? Again, excellent guide here guys, bravo TLMtv.

    I found several songs that I did the loop function that transitioned into another song that had the same line or phrase in it and it worked perfectly. But Like TLM said, it's one of those things that you can't really do on the fly. That's something that you have to plan and set cue points for. Great tip bro. I learn so much from every video you make.

    For DJ’s who might not have looping functions but have a pioneer mixer: the roll effect is essentially a looper too. It samples a section of music. At smaller increments such as 1/4, 1/8 etc it really just sounds like noise, but if you set it to 4/1 it will record a full bar. Then you can switch the channel selector to a different channel (my djm 400 is only 2 channels so I set it to mic to have both channels free) & continue your mix without worrying about the song ending.

    The last use of the loop you show can help bridginf the gap between two songs with totally different BPM simply by shortening the loop you want out, scratch the track you want in on the 1st beat and BANG. I'ts commonly used in drum & bass for example

  • @l34052
    @l34052 7 лет назад

    I'm just starting out and I've only had my controller a couple of days but I'm slowly figuring out the loop function. A couple of times I haven't quite got my next track ready and I've used the loop to play some of the music longer to give me more time.
    From my limited experience so far I would say the auto loop is not 100% perfect but then that could just be my lack of experience but when I do get it right it is a great tool to have.

    Hey TLM, love your channel. Loop yea back in the day DJ had to work for the loop, now it's a button press.But it gives more creative DJ's and makes no DJ song or mix the same. That is what makes ever DJ there own. I love it. I think its great and all the hype about DeeJay Jazzy Jeff and Pioneer new controller DJ need to step off that B******, it will make better young DJ's. As alway's a great channel, love your video's and Thank You for helping the DJ community.Keep up the great work, it's not easy running a channel takes a lot of dedication and time. 10 thumbs up ! lol

    wow, I have probably heard this transition loop before, just never knew how simple it is to do. Always thought they were pitch changing or something. Can't believe it is that simple (if you do the preparation). 👍
    Definitely going to practice and add this to my tool bag.

    Dude! I just wanted to thank you for this awesome video! I've been DJing for over 25 years and just recently moved from vinyl & CDJ's to Serato and a new Pioneer DDJ-SX2. To say that I'm a bit lost, is an under statement. However, thanks to videos like yours, I'm getting up to speed rather quickly!
    I decided to learn about loops today and found your video. Man, it was super helpful! I know you are busy but am hoping you can answer a dumb question for me: how the "blank" do you save a loop in a track? For example, I prepare a track for my next gig and want to save the loop in it. How do I do that and then recall that loop when I need it at a gig?
    Thanks again for this awesome video tutorial!

  • @TheTappyOne
    @TheTappyOne 8 лет назад

    Thank you so much. I have been mixing edm, hardstyle and trap. But i have allways liked to listen on hip hop and the last months i have been listening to hip hop non stop. So i decided to start mixing some hip hop, but that shit is hard compared to the other genres i'm mixing. This techniques really helps me to to do smoother mixes without just droping in the new track and turn down the volume at the track being played. I really appreciate your videos!

  • @cosmicrage
    @cosmicrage 10 лет назад

    hey there djTLM, i just wanna ask and im curious about a certain part of this video, the part where I can see the bigger view of the virtual decks at time 9:20. why is it that the pitch on the right deck keeps on changing when you're playing 2 tracks? it goes like -6.1% and then goes up to -6.2% or -6.3% and then goes back down to -6.1%. Why is it behaving like that? is it because of the relative mode? or because you're using a timecode vinyl? Your reply is much appreciated and keep on sharing the knowledge....thanks!

    • @MasterDinomutt
      @MasterDinomutt 10 лет назад

      He changes the pitch slightly through the turntables. You can change pitch briefly when you move the turntable. You can see him doing that at 9:20 on the left turntable

  • @alexanderpodolsky1553
    @alexanderpodolsky1553 10 лет назад

    Hi DJ TLM, really super helpful video. Got one question. I practice on a DDJ-SX, and can transfer most of what you do on the technics to the ddi. I am confused on how--or whether-- I can do what you are doing around 17:30, to my ddj-sx, how would I, as you say "tap that tempo into his effect bank." What exactly does that mean? How would I do it on my ddj? I also don't quite understand how I would do it on technics. Conceptually, it makes sense, I just don't quite understand how to put that concept into practice. Thanks so much though! Your a great teacher who puts a lot of thought into his videos.

    • @djTLMtv
      @djTLMtv  10 лет назад

      Ok, I think the first one is 84bpm and the second one is 120 (can't remember if I show that in the video). You need the roll effect on the first beat (84bpm) to be playing at the tempo of the new track (120bpm). On that mixer I have a tap button for each channel which allows me to manually tap the tempo that I want the effect to use. So I'm tapping 120bpm. On the SX you have a tap button for each effect section. It's the button next to the three ON buttons for the effects
