Intermediate DJ Mixing Lesson Phrase Mixing with the Filter

0:00 Hi guys, got a couple of records from Karmic Power Records

Hi guys, got a couple of records from Karmic Power Records. In this video I'm going to do a mix using the filter. First of all I need to find the right track to bring in, which I've already done, but I need to find the correct point to bring the next track in. Now what I've already done to save time is I've set a cue point here, there. Okay this track here is Duplex, a track in title You Got Me Thinking and it is on Karmic Power Records and if I just wait one second we should get the number. It should be KPR and hopefully I'll get it very shortly. We've got loads of numbers and barcodes and goodness knows what going through. KPR label is Karmic Power Records as I've told you. And the number is KPR 112. There we are, KPR 112. There will be a link in the description to Karmic Power Records.

Let's have a listen to Geno Love, a track in title Lonely World. This is the track that I'm going to be mixing in just by using the filter. I'm not going to touch the bass, mid, treble, nothing. But there's quite a long introduction here before the melody kicks in.

2:24 Let's count 16 bars on the Lonely World

Now I'm not 100% sure but I'm quite sure that's around about 16 bars if not more into the track. So I've tried, in fact we'll do this mix once then we'll do it a second time. Hopefully the second time will be a lot better. So I'm going to start at the beginning of Lonely World at the point where I've set the cue point here which is 1 minute and 5 seconds left of You Got Me Thinking. So that's the point there really where I want to start having the melody come in. Because bassline's stopped and we've got that sort of gap of two bars, not counting so... OK so let's count 16 bars on the Lonely World. And then I'll start this after the 16th bar. So we'll actually start it on the 16th bar. start it on the 17th so one one two three two one two three three one two three four one two

4:03 Because from my cue point

Three five one two three six one two three seven one two three eight nine one two three ten one two three eleven one two three twelve one two three thirteen one two three fourteen one two three fifteen one two three sixteen one two three bear with me seventeen one two three eighteen one two three nineteen one two three twenty one two three twenty one 22 23 24 and there another one there okay now the reason I've done the second one is because from my cue point here let's count how many bars we've got before the end of the bass line everything will be apparent as soon as I do the mix, I hope so. So from here 1-1-2-3-2-1-2-3-3-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-5-1-2-3-6-1-2-3-7-1 listen for that bass line to finish in 2-3 there right yes okay that's it we

Have 32 bars then of course the melody comes in I set a cue point after 16 bars I also set another cue point after another eight bars after that which means eight bars melody comes in from my cue point here to where the bass line finishes it's eight bars so if I start this track at my second cue point of course bass line finishes melody comes in and then I've got the next one comes in there I'm going to put the the filter around about sort of four o'clock ish and I'm gonna start the two tracks start the track at the the original the first place I started it at and then as soon as we I'm also so I'm confusing you now do apologize I'm going to start the track on the right hand side The Lonely World at the beginning of the second cue point

Of the last eight bars I'm going to start you got me thinking at the same place where I started it before and then eight bars in end of bass line on the you've got me thinking eight bars in on lonely world melody starts so there we go absolutely perfect let's filter this one out okay so it is it's about phrasing choosing the right track to start with

With the feel vibe and energy and also about making sure that where you bring one track in it's at the right time with the other track and when you take the track out it's the right time with the other track that's coming in or should should I say taking over the mix practice and enjoy don't forget these tracks can be got found at Karmic Power Records I will put a link in the description once again you've got me thinking from the left hand side to the right and this one here is Gino Love track entitled Lonely World the Instrumental Mix practice and enjoy thank you very much
