Dj tutorial, Fine tuning the loop on the Pioneer CDJ-1000mk3

0:00 Fine tune your loop so it's

Alright guys, now in this video I'm going to show you how to fine tune your loop so it's almost seamless. Now when I say almost, there's possibly going to be a tiny fraction of a BPM out, but then again it's about practice. Now also, I'm going to show you one unconventional way of forming a loop. Now first of all, the most obvious way on the 1000 Mark III is hitting the loop in and out. So if I just start the tune, press in, 2, 3, 4... One, two, three, four and out. Got a loop. Now, if let's say that loop is slightly out, what we can do, we can press this button here, the out adjust, excuse me, and then by moving a jog wheel, we can change the loop. There you go, like that. Takes a bit of practice. Okay, the other way of doing it, press in, out. What I'm going to do now is I'm going to press out adjust and at the same time, I'm going to press search.

1:27 Readout up here, you're changing

What you're doing, if you look at the readout up here, you're changing the loop a tiny fraction, frame by frame, which is a finer way of changing the loop. Go the other direction. There you go. Alright, so third way, slightly more unconventional, but you can still get a loop. Right, check this out. Let's play another tune. Just hit your finger on the cue. It looks really silly, but it does work. And also, you can go to town. You don't have to hit it on the one. Listen to this.

A bit of fun, and as I've always said, it's about practice, practice and enjoying at the same time. Practice and enjoy. Cheers.
