I was hoping for a better trick than slow it down until it’s the same bpm. I mean, yeah, get songs to the same bpm and then mix.. you don’t say? I was hoping for some kind of cutting or scratching technique.
@@emoneymd5 I mean thats like the most basic technique you have and you cant do that every single time you switch to different bpm genres. Looping is the way to go.
And the reason that didn’t sound right is because both of those tracks are in the same key. But they are no longer in the same key once you’ve slowed the seconded track down by that much. It’s worth remembering that every 3% pitch adjustment equals one semitone in the key of the track.
I don't how you get 3% since I get 8.33% speedup for a semi-tone 2^(log2(1+1/12)) ≈ 1.0833. Or simpler, leading to the exact same result: 1/12 ≈ 0.0833.
slowly turn hi pass filter on to take out the bass and then reverb out the 1st track at the end of the phrase and then press play on the 2nd track with low pass filter all the way down at the exact same time you get rid of the 1st track. ez and sounds seamless
I was always nervous to make slow huge tempo jumps more than 5 bpms. I was always worried the audience would think it sounded weird. Not only are you doing a huge tempo jump, you've also got key lock off. lol nice.
I have never heard a patron worry about a transition being in key. Although to a pro’s ear it sounds good. The average person is not going to stop vibing because of it and won’t even notice it likely.
I always end up jumping bpms baby that much, but only when it’s a request from a bar going being I dj more bars then anything an that I mix between genera’s an bpms
Another simple way to make huge jump off BPM is to speed up (or slow down) on vocals (acapella without beats) or breakdowns, several tracks of different genres give this opportunity.
@@jackedkerouac4414 well, you could use key lock or sometimes, on the right vocals, you could loop them and have fun with the change of pitch (but it's not so easy 🤔, I've seen this in a very inspiring battle routine 😁)
i dont know why you guys get so many negative comments under your videos for no reason but id like to thank you guys for helping me out with your free content
i personally use the sync trick, in which you enable sync on the next song and just rise the bpm on the master deck (the bpm on the next song goes up as you do it). very simple and easy. this way you can transition from bigroom to dubstep in a single buildup.
@Amber heard got no chill , you will have to engage a key lock function. This way when you use the tempo fader to speed up or slow down the synced tracks the keys do not go up or down either. Most DJ softwares have this option.
I find it really hard to mix college party music, like Rihanna, Drake, J balvin and making proper transitions between them. Would be amazing to cover that one!
@@thizzkidclips9709 as mentioned; reggaeton, hip-hop, and there’s also dancehall that’s huge among average listeners/party goers. I learned firsthand from a college gig that dancehall is in demand lol
Im learning to dj but im from a very different szene, its hardtekk/uptempo/hardcore, we play upto 300bpm, usually around 180-240, and I really enjoy hearing people call 150bpm+ extreme
Thanks for the tutorial! What about going from hardstyle/dubstep/trap (140-150bpm) down to bass house (126-130)? Or from hip-hop/top 40 to house (80bpm to 128bpm)
well, you don't go down the tempo once you reached the higher one. you kill the hype this way, slowing down track feels less energetic but you can do simple fade out on 1st track and play 2nd track in its original tempo, like DVLM do a lot. just check their last TML sets when they play hardstyle, then impact comes in, 8-16 bars of silence and another, slower track starts playing with hip-hop trap you easily can just speed up, from 80 to 120, OR you can go kinda extreme, and go slower, to 60 bpm so it matches 120 bpm. that is kinda cool ngl
Well said Jamie , everything you demo was spot on but I think you highlighted another thing that not many new DJ's know Master tempo and why it's better off for that raw old vinyl feel it makes your mixes have more edge less robotic exactly how old mixed tapes use to sound from vinyl djs if your mixing bass house , speed garage your hear big difference to on or off when you move the pitch , your think how did I not hear this 😀👌
Personally I would never use those kinda tracks without some extra ones to make the genre transitions. And isn't it sounds better while we have the key lock on during this proces? Thnx
Numark has been making great setups lately, It would be great if it was compatible with Rekordbox... We are waiting for a model with a Pioneer ddj 800 Size Screen.. If it produces a Setup pioneer with a screen that is not too big and not bulky, I can buy it. We are waiting

What about you are playing 126bpm Tech House and a girl asks for 90bpm Moonbathon? Answer is: ignore her. Jokes apart, are there any videos about House\Dance set not in festival situations where people and owners of pubs and discos used to think you are a jukebox and you have to put Radio stuff (or shit more frequently that doesn't deal anything) that has a big bpm difference? For Example, you play Guetta - Don't Hurt Me and someone asks for Ed Sheeran pop... When you are in similar genres at a festival it's ok, you prepare transitions like this, but if you are a dj that has to work near to public there are different situations
How to mix house with hardstyle? It's simple: DON'T DO THIS. I love both genres, DJing for more than 10 years I would never recommend combining those two together. Especially playing hardstyle on 128BPM lol.
lol ikr, but in specially case you still can do this. As you can see KSHMR mixed various of genres during his liveset, somes are transition right after another, and somes are play after a big impact sound effect
you still can do this - sure you CAN. but SHOULD you? ;) Believe me, know what I'm talking about. You can check our YT or soundcloud. And the fact that Hardwell or KSHMR or somebody else drop another genre in the same set is brilliant. I also try to mix more than one genre but in some logical and esthetical frames. Let's say 140+BPM hardtrance is ok to mix with 150+BPM hardstyle but going to mix something between 40BPM of difference will hurt one or another track. Always. Maybe it looks good when you have a big stage, you have an MC and you can make "silent transition" announced by MC, but what was shown here is just bad practice.
jesus that was gwad awful.. Don't do this your working twice as hard for a transition that will suck all the energy out of your room! You have 1 track with key lock engaged you can move a FULL 8% without audible distinction if you want to be even cleaner you can just prepare the faster track to -8% Use a break or a build up to speed up the track playing to +8% percent drop the new track in. SYNC then move the New tracks pitch back up to its INTENDED BPM of 150 All while having full control and a free hand to eq and use effects or trigger a roll. This will work across genre from dance to rap to latin to whatever.. just in case @Crossfader reads my comment, I do not mean to be Negative but.. PLEASE STOP TEACHING KIDS TO MIX BAD
Sure you can speed up that way too but I like this technique because it raises the pitch of the tune itself kind of like a modulation and it adds to the anticipation and excitement .
Dutch hardstyle dj's don't make this kind of transitions. You know why not? Cause they don't mix these styles together. It's like mixing trance with hard techno. You just don't do that. 🤷
I get what you’re saying and I agree to an extent. If it’s tried and true, it’s for a reason. But at the same time, the punk in me says it’s fun to break the rules and be unconventional at times (;
you are right i guess but it happens on mainstage more often that the last song or some song in the middle of the set would be a hardstyle remix of a popular song.

That was REALLY effin cool my boy, great job, following and excited to dive in deeper!
maybe a dumb question (im new) but cant you crank up the playing beat a bit and meet the bpm's in the middle?
So what's the biggest BPM difference you would say where it still makes more sense to speed up or slow down the track to match their BPMs?
Like 5-8 BPMS.
