Using the Sweep and Echo Effect Together Its a Great Techno Sound

0:00 Demonstration, tutorial, call it what you want

Right, ladies and gentlemen, a lesson here. Demonstration, tutorial, call it what you want. You can call it even duck or soup or you could call it indigo. In fact, you can call anything anything. Yes, that's how my wacky mind works. I'm a bit mad but better to be mad in a mad world than think you're sane in a mad world. Anyway, right. So one of the effects not many people use is the sooty. Oh, sorry, the sweep. If you're my age, you'll know exactly where I'm coming from, which is a nut house. So what the sweep does, it can give you a bit of a techno sound to a beat. So, for example, if I press play here, engage the sweep.

1:47 The reason for that is very simple

So what it's doing, it's almost like grabbing. You know, highlights of the of the beat and grabbing a bit here and a bit there, of course, in time. But if we use this on an acapella, then it's just new grounds. So let's press play here. There. OK, use the sweep. What I'm going to do, though, to add a little bit to this, I'm going to use some echo on top of it. Now, again, with modern technology. With modern day tech like this, you know, you can add other elements. Now, don't forget effects like this on the left hand side are known sort of as color effects where on the right hand side here they're known as beat effects. Now, the reason for that is very simple. It's because the one of the beat effects you can utilize in to the beat itself so you can have them single time, half time, double time, depending, of course, on your beat.

If you want to do it manually by tapping. So I'm going to do just that. So one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. Now listen when I engage the echo now we use the sweep.

All right. Let's try and do it even faster. So engage or put sorry the the color effect back to the twelve o'clock.

3:20 Work, come home and get up

OK, let's just do it in time with the track now. So as they said to the actors, actually, that wasn't as good. Because I think the echo was overlapping. All right, again, another short video giving you a I don't know what I'm trying to do with short videos like this is get a lot of people out of the mundane. Get up, go to work, come home and get up the following day, go to work, come home because guess what? There's a whole world in front of you. So, you know, for example, something I do say to a couple of DJs that I teach online, and that is that that a lot of people, what they do is they get so in tuned with the everyday life of getting the decks out, doing the same mix using the same effects. What you do is you start to use even though you don't like it, a new effect and just get used to that using that new effect slowly but surely you'll get used to it so much you will indeed incorporate it into your mix.

Hope that's a help by the way on the left hand side. It was P to the J, it was the what's the Salch and Dope radio mix Dennis Farah great tune but I do there is another mix I prefer far more than this and of course on the right hand side an absolute classic a track that will never die cashmere featuring deja a track entitled brighter days I highly recommend you check out these two tunes because they're absolutely bangers. Thank you. Thanks for watching, practice and enjoy.
