Beat Mixing Using GateComp FX DJM900 Nexus by ellaskins the DJ Tutor

Lesson Intermediate Stage 3: Beatmatching November 2014

Contents of the video

All right ladies and gentlemen, we're still at gettingamixed.com and we've got another mixing tutorial for you. This time we're going to use something called the gate compression or comp. What that does, it almost like, you can hear it taking away some parts of the track. It's a bit, it's that sort of effect. It's great for a transition because it means you can actually almost, so you're breaking a track in and then if you break one track in and break one track out, then both movements complement each other. But with this demonstration we move the dials, both dials at the same time. So first what I'm going to do is I'm going to move the dial, now the colour dial, to the three o'clock or half past three position on the track coming in.

Put the volume up. Up slightly.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
