DJ Tutorial , How to bring the next toon in.

0:00 That was playing, what I did

Right folks, just done a tutorial on mixing one track into the other and when I mixed the track into the one, the last one that was playing, what I did, I took out the bass and the top just had the mid on the one track that was coming in. And after thinking about it, it made me think of this particular video. The reason for this one is almost to sort of give you, that's M&M's, cats, give you a bit of advice and hopefully point you in the right direction. Now let's say for example you're mixing one track into the other and what you tend to do is maybe you take the bass out, bring the bass in, that kind of stuff. Well sometimes what you need to do is listen to the track and the track will tell you what it wants to do. In other words, maybe the certain track, maybe it just feels, you feel as though the mid and top should be emphasised or maybe just the bass, maybe just the mid, maybe just the high. Now what I'm going to do, I've got three tracks ready

So you know I've taken the tracks from this guy here, Underground and Alternative, July 2009. I've got track number 1, track number 5 and track number 7. Track number 1 is Simeon Mobile Disco, track number 5 is Purple Lips and track number 7 is Reverend and The Markers and you can find those on the website. Right so what I'm going to do, I'm going to play... The first track, track number one, this is the end of it. And at the moment you're listening to the whole track with bass mid and treble. Now can you hear that? Now I like that, so maybe we could emphasise that. So for example, let's say this track's playing here. We're bringing this one in. I could emphasise that. So all you need to do is take the bass out and maybe the top as well. Alternatively you could completely take the bass out.

1:55 Emphasise on the mid slightly and emphasise on the top like this

Emphasise on the mid slightly and emphasise on the top like this. So back to there, right, take the bass out. Emphasise on the mid, tiny bit on the top. So now what's happening is if you think about it logically when you're mixing this one in, you haven't got loads of bass all over the place. Rhymes. Right, that's number one. Now let's have a listen to the second track which is track number five and maybe we can work out what should be increased, decreased, added, taken away, subtracted, multiplied, maybe put... Fuzzy bits on the top. Alright, okay, here we go, track. This is five. And bearing in mind we're listening just to the end of the tracks. And again we've got... We've got that sound. Also, we've got that chugging bass so we can do one or two things here. Let's just pause that. I could emphasise that mid and top sound or emphasise the bass so I'll do that now. First of all the mid and top and then we'll emphasise the bass. Take away the bass. Mid and top.

So we've got more emphasis on that high sound. Like this time, just the bass. So we could just bring that... Just that in. But if we do that, what we've got to remember is the track that's playing or going out, we need to maybe start to take the bass out. We don't want too much bass going on all over the place. Otherwise what will happen, it'll just sound not necessarily distorted, but there will be too much happening. Okay. Right, now the last one, which was track... By the way, yeah, hold on. Yeah, that's track five. Track one. Now I'm going to do track seven now. Right. Loads going on. I'm trying to think about this one because there is a lot going on. There's a lot of mid. There's not much... Hey, fever. Sorry. There's not much bass and there's loads of high as well. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to take away the low, take away the high, but I'm not going to emphasise the mid. I'm not going to turn it up. I'm just going to leave it at 12 o'clock. Now let's have another listen.

Now personally I still think there's too much going on. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna reduce the mid even more. There's a lot happening there. Have another listen. Is that you Liz? No. She left. See now again, sometimes you don't have to have it at 12 o'clock or high. You can actually sometimes turn it down a little bit which is what I've done here. Put them all back up to 12 o'clock. Alternatively, bass, take away all the mid and just have high Right, it's all about experimenting. Practice and enjoy. Here we go.
