DJ Tutorial, A trick with the pitch and a tune.

Lesson Intermediate Stage 3: Beatmatching November 2010

Contents of the video

Alright folks, a bit of a demo here, tutorial and something that you can do on the fly. I've just got a bit of a loop going down here now on a player to the right. And we can see here, this guy by the way is from Stanton, it's the C.324. Now the tune I've got is Karma, a track entitled I Need You. Let's just have a listen to it first of all. Now notice I've got my finger still on the cue button. If I take the finger off, put it back on, it goes right back to the beginning of the track.

Now, a couple of things here. Make sure the key lock is disengaged. You don't want that on. And also, you want to make sure that you can utilise the pitch control by moving it away from you to the minus position. It will slow down the track. Moving it towards you to the plus position, it will speed up the track. So, have a listen to this. Right, now maybe you get the general idea here. Now, this can be done on the fly. Check it out. Here we go.

Okay, you get the general idea. Alright, slightly off beat there but that wasn't the whole idea. The idea there was to show you what you can do just by hitting the cue and messing around with the pitch control. Now at that point I had it at plus and minus eight. Hope that's been a help. Practice and enjoy.
