DJ Lesson on Adding Effects to Minimalistic Genres

Alright guys, in this video I'm going to give you a demonstration of adding some effects over some minimalistic track. This here is a progressive house track. Now, minimalistic music first of all... Minimalistic, what does that mean? It's minimal, not much going on. So virtually any genre with not much going on, you can class it as that sort of genre but the minimalistic version of that genre. Track we're using here is by CK, it's entitled Tectonic Bridge. Very simple demonstration here, we have the echo on and I'm now going to play the track, what I'm going to do is tap in time of the music, 1 over 1 which means 1 beat, I don't want that, I want half, 1 over 2, have a listen. What I'm doing is in time, I'm engaging the effect, as soon as the effect has been engaged I'm bringing the volume down, what happens there is that the track

You can't hear anymore. What you're left with is the echo of the point at which I started the echo and I started it at the exact time I hit the on-off button here. So let's press start again. Let's try 1 over 4, which is a quarter. And again, try this. You will get a different sound, a different feel when you engage the effect on the bass beat and then alternatively you'll get a different sound feel when you engage the effect on the hand clap high beat. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
