Using a Loop to Mix a Slow Track into a Fast Track CD Pool Urban December 2019

0:00 Urban releases, CDPool December 2019 as ever

Alright guys, new releases time. Urban releases, CDPool December 2019 as ever. Check out the link in the description. I've got my cat Bobby helping me today. Bobby say hello. Okay so, in alphabetical order, don't answer the Kingdom 93 extended mix. Now again, the urban releases, chilled out, laid back, R&B, soul, new age kind of hip hop, those sorts of styles. All the tracks I'm going to be playing, by the way, are in alphabetical order. Let's go to the next one. This one here is entitled Don't Rush, the explicit version. And this one is 108 BPM. The last try at 127, give or take. Okay. Now in this video as well, I want to show you how you can mix... Two tracks that are completely different, I want to say completely different BPM, they are different BPM, but how do you do it? Alright so on the left hand side get pound 77 BPM, on the right don't rush 108 BPM. How the heck are we going to do this? Let's have a look.

Right, again very quickly, if I just pause that. What you need to do, which I haven't got here, I've got this deck at plus or minus 10, this deck plus or minus 6. Make sure they are at the same percentage, otherwise it could be a little bit awkward and confusing. So I'm going to put that to plus or minus 6. But again, being 77.1... At plus or minus six on the left hand side, if I increase it all the way, I can only get it to 81 BPM. Slow that down, I can only get that to 101 BPM. So we need to do a bit of changing here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to plus and minus 16. I can increase it to 89, which still isn't good enough. We need to go to wide so I can now get it to 154 BPM which is very fast indeed. Now what I'm going to do is if we listen to Get Pounds...

2:16 Beginning of Get Pounds and let's

Alright, that sounds terrible. Beats are all over the place but the sounds complement each other. The music seems to sort of gel amongst the two tracks even though completely off beat. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the beginning of Get Pounds and let's try something like this. I formed a loop. Okay, so let's speed this up to the 108. So we're 108.3 on the right, 108.2 on the left. Now because it's more difficult to get an exact... BPM in the wide feature. Don't try and get it exact because you could be all day on the wide. Just go to the other side and change that, which I'm going to do. Reduce that very slightly. Now that's on 108.2. Took me one second instead of about half a year in the wide feature. So here we go. Filter on.

4:39 A tune that's doing quite well at the moment

Now I'm going to slowly bring the tempo down. Okay, let's find something else on the right hand side. I'm going to go to a random track. You know what's up. Explicit. Oop. Hit the cue, not the play pause. Okay, a tune that's doing quite well at the moment. Must be. This is explicit. All right, slight change here because I'm going to go from the wide to back to 10%. We're going to put 10% on the other side as well. Okay, cue that up. Now I'm going to try something really, not strange here, but we've got a track that's 128.4. Let's do the reverse. So earlier on we had a track playing the one we brought in, we went on the wide. This time what I'm going to do, I'm going to go on the wide feature on the track that's playing.

6:41 Your loop and th

And then bring in the finest, the Hutcher Extended Mixer. Let's have a listen to this. Okay, so how do we do this? Oh my God, I've put myself in a position here now, haven't I? So let's have a listen at the beginning. Now, you're probably thinking as well, well, yeah, you can't spin the track back and then, you know, make a loop and say, sorry guys, just stop dancing for a while. Well, of course, if you imagine, let's revert back to what we were playing earlier on. That's playing people listening to that form a loop. Put the loop inside a hot cue, let the track play, hit your hot cue, you go to your loop and then you can start speeding it up. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to go to the wide feature again. Have a listen.

8:50 Plus and minus 10

By the way, if you want to know about the original of this track, it's by the SOS Band and it is entitled The Finest. And it is a wicked, wicked cut. After this video, I highly recommend you Google it, you're on YouTube, go and find it, SOS Band The Finest. What a tune, man. And this is a really, really nice modern-day remix of it. So let's take away the wide feature, go to plus and minus 10. Let's find something else. One more. Paper cuts. I should have kept that echo for a little bit longer. Paper cuts explicit. He voice my man for the petrol. Love it! Oh, love it! Love it! Okay, I'll play one more. This is entitled Tell Me Again Explicit and you do find that with the Urban releases. You have got a little few bits of ifs and buts in there. Now, if you like this style, in the description of this video is a code DJ Tutor.
