DJ Lesson to Much Piano Is to Much Noise

0:00 Geezers, ladies and gentlemen, demonstration for you

All right, geezers, ladies and gentlemen, demonstration for you. Got a couple of tunes from CDU Pool. Let's have a look at the decks. And yes, it's in HD. Right, okay. So what we've got, a couple of tracks work relatively well together, but if we mix them incorrectly, it's going to sound awful. Liver, lungs, intestine, not many people like awful. I'm just going to move that like that. Okay, so let's have a listen.

If I bring this in at the wrong time over the next tune, by the way, two tunes I'm using so we know where we are. On my left-hand side, we have Napped, Come On, Surrender. It's from CDPool Club April 2014, disc number two. Check out the link in the description. On the right-hand side, we have CDPool Club February 2014, example a track entitled Kiggs. Kids again. So what I'm going to do, two mixes. I'm going to bring the beginning of this tune here, the Chris Lake, into example at this point. And we'll first of all have a listen to the transition and there'll be too much going on. Then what I'll do, second transition, I'll use tiny amounts of the Napped track into the example and you'll see that it works a lot better.

1:41 It will start, the mix will start here

So what I'm going to try and do is try and take away the sound from the example and exchange it for the exact sound that's in the other track. So it will start, the mix will start here. Whoever we want to be, we'll laugh in the face of teachers. So I'll move this back, give myself a little bit of time first of all to cue it up.

2:56 Over here, Chris Lake into the example track

There's so much I could do here, I could have faded that one out, but let's just keep them going for a while. I mean you've got to admit, that just sounds too full, too big, too much going on. It sounds a frigging nightmare. Let's change it very slightly now, but use snippets of the track. So over here, Chris Lake into the example track. Let's give a good example. If I wanted to be really critical, I could have just kept that all of that and then chucked in the Napped tune. But alright there you go, a bit of a transition using lots of music here. And the first transition, it shows you how incorporating two lots of music together in their entirety can sound terrible. If you use snippets, it's a lot better. Hope that's a help. Practice and in HD enjoy. Thank you very much.
