Tipz on a Mix, Share Your TIPZ-N-TRIX Too!

0:00 This video is all about sharing certain tips

Alright folks, this video is all about sharing certain tips. Right, this is what I'd like you to do. Participate. Put all of your responses underneath this video. The whole idea is for you to grab two tracks and mix them a couple of times. That's the easy bit. The hard bit is actually to explain what you're doing while you're doing the mix. A couple of things you need to take into consideration. One is that you should be able to hear the music because of course you've got to know what you're doing. And the other one, of course, is that the people out there should be able to hear you and watch what you're doing as well. So try and be as precise and concise as possible. Practice the mix, I haven't really practiced it, and have a bit of fun and see what happens. I'll tell you what will happen, and that is that other people around the world will look at what you're doing and they'll think, ah, that's a good idea, I might try that. And then guess what?

2:43 You can move them up and you will kill each individual frequency

You're helping someone and in turn they could help somebody else. So let's give it a go. Look to the side of the video for the track listings. Thank you very much. Volume down here. These switches here are basically kill switches so I can kill all the frequencies. I'm now going to kill the bass. Move it up. Now basically what I did there is really I just messed around with the bass. Now these three switches either side are known as kill switches. You can do one of three things. You can leave them in the centre which means all the frequencies will always be there. You can move them up and you will kill each individual frequency. You will kill the treble or the high, which is equivalent to the treble. You'll kill the mid, which is equivalent to the mid. You'll kill the low, which is equivalent to the bass. Alternatively, what you can do is you can just press them down with your fingers like that. Alright, so we'll do exactly the same thing again, same mix. This time I'll just perhaps do something different. Here we go. Make sure I'm on cue here. The idea of this video is to give you an idea. People keep on asking me...

What do I do first? Do a take at the mid, the bass, the treble. Well guess what? You do what you want to do. Listen to the track. The track will tell you what it wants to basically do. So please out there, if you've got any knowledge whatsoever and you've got a speaker, a camera and you've got a couple of decks and a mixer, show the world what you can do. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
