Dan Thats the other one that sounded plausible.

Memory like a sieve, thanks for the reminder !

    Dan Cheers Dan. Bringing in a new track without beatmatching is something I’ve never even tried to be honest. I can imagine it’s a handy thing to be able to do though. I’ll check out some of Harveys stuff, see what I can learn.

        FX.

        Just recorded my first mix on the DDJ-1000. My previous controller had little in the way of effects so I’ve been messing about with them. Thought I was subtly using the Trans effect (setting ½, low/medium depth) on a few of the transitions. It sounded pretty good while I was doing it.

        Listening back, it doesn’t sound great and it’s spoilt what was otherwise a decent hour-long mix. Anyone got any good FX tips they’d care to share?

          I know from your previous escapades, never to touch the Flanger.

          Unless you’re an EDM-DJ delay and reverb are all you need. With Pioneer the filters sound like effects too.

            Homegrove I’ve never really used any FX before, I just aim to get the beatmatching as tight as I can and go for as smooth a transition as possible. how would the delay and reverb generally be used?

                Matt Reverb in transitions (works a treat in techno), delay wherever there are a huge amount of hi hats.

                  Swerve all effects at all costs, unless you’re Zabiela playing some cut up techno shiz. They always sound shit and are always over used. Concentrate on beat matching, equing, phrasing, and track selection.

                    Unbroken1 now there’s a dj who always looks like they’re having lots of fun playing records

                        mjh Agreed. Boss record collection too.
