Bring it in on the one part two for Ama girl!

0:00 Others and you'll know what I'm

Alright folks, this is going out to Aimer Girl who asked a question. Whereabouts do you start bringing in the song that you're mixing in on the one? Now that we're talking about bars as in 1-1-2-3, 2-1-2-3, 3-1-2-3, 4-1-2-3. Without going into depth in bars on this tutorial, I suggest you go back, have a look at the others and you'll know what I'm on about. Alright, Aimer Girl. It's simply this, it's your choice. You don't have to bring it in on the 1 as in 1-1-2-3-2-1-2-3. You don't have to bring it in on the 2 as in 1-1-2-3-2-1-2-3. It's 50% your choice, okay? Use your ears. It's 50% around the music. If the music on the track that's playing is really high, there's a lot going on, and on this guy there's a lot going on, then...

1:20 There's almost a third song playing

Step back, wait a while. Wait till there's less going on here and then bring this one in. Vice versa, okay? You'll see a lot of professional DJs, they will twiddle about with the bass, treble, mid. What they're actually doing is they're playing the track here, the track's playing, they're bringing this one in. What they're actually doing is they're almost incorporating a third song in the middle. There's almost a third song playing. That's why they're doing this, they're blending. They're not just going from this side straight to the other side. There's a smooth mix maybe of 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds and in that gap, in that time there is a third song being played. That's what's happening. They're not bringing it in on the 1, 2, 3 or 4. They're maybe just up a tiny bit, halfway, this guy

Three quarters of the way, back down again. And then before they bring it in again, they take the bass away and they slowly bring it up, bring it back down, put the bass back up, put it up, the volume up again, bring it back down. Maybe they'll take the mid away because what they're doing, they're listening to this song and this song is telling them, this track here may be a bit more mid, bit more bass, bit less, bit more, okay? It's all about listening. It's fine-tuning. It's organising a third song in the middle. to coincide with the one that's playing on the one that's bringing in all right so i will try and do just that for you right now we will put this record on we'll blend this one in and we'll get a third song in the middle let's see what happens let's turn the volume of the microphone off here we go okay can you hear me yeah all right so that's what i did basically i had one playing i was messing around here all right there was a bit of a quick one messing around you know messing with the bass mid treble
