    You are definitely one of the best DJs out there and probably the best CZcamsr for tutorials. Youre able to do it the old school way, truly understand your music and beats. Man you got it all! Clear, informative, and yet humble. I'm trying to learn how to mix house but I also wanted to learn hip hop so thank you for providing such a great outlet for beginners!

    For DJ’s who might not have looping functions but have a pioneer mixer: the roll effect is essentially a looper too. It samples a section of music. At smaller increments such as 1/4, 1/8 etc it really just sounds like noise, but if you set it to 4/1 it will record a full bar. Then you can switch the channel selector to a different channel (my djm 400 is only 2 channels so I set it to mic to have both channels free) & continue your mix without worrying about the song ending.

      @@djTLMtv Haven't tried Djing myself yet, but been watching your videos from time to time, really nice content!!! Is there a way to do this transition, analog with vinyl? Like cueing that loop with two records, as you showed in the beginning and then switching to a third faster record on a third turntable? Or would you need 4 hands for that? Or could you nudge the record back only with the left hand and have a scratch-hot-scratch-hot sound as the loop, and then switch to the second record, or is it impossible to get that down precisely enough?

  • @kenlee79
    @kenlee79 Před 10 lety +1

    Absolutely excellent tutorial about the general idea of 'Looping". While there are plenty more uses and functions around looping, djTLMtv covers the most basic but extremely important aspects. Looping is key in presenting your audience with a silky smooth and grain-free performance, its not a means of 'cheating' when one cannot mix within a time frame. Keep in mind that when you mix 2 tracks you are creating something beautifully harmonic (assuming you are mixing 2 tracks that are within the harmonic circle), it essentially becomes 1 track. 2 tracks played harmonically has the potential to yield an immense quality of a mix. It also aids you in creating more 'time' within the tracks, allowing more freedom to tweak in effects. All the top DJs, especially in the dance music genre use it religiously, why shouldn't you? Again, excellent guide here guys, bravo TLMtv.

  • @EvilJohnny81
    @EvilJohnny81 Před 8 lety

    I found several songs that I did the loop function that transitioned into another song that had the same line or phrase in it and it worked perfectly. But Like TLM said, it's one of those things that you can't really do on the fly. That's something that you have to plan and set cue points for. Great tip bro. I learn so much from every video you make.

  • @denniswilson9227
    @denniswilson9227 Před 4 lety

    I know I’m late to the party, but TLM, thank you yet again my brother. I have been dabbing with the loop roll, but haven’t really figured out the best use for it. Well, today problem solved. Yo, just shear luck, that I came across this video today. Mad respect to you sir, if you re every playing in Germany let us know, wouldn’t mind checking it out live.

  • @andrewcohen6029

    I tend to use the loop function when cueing a song before a mix, so you can ensure the timing is almost perfection when bringing a new track in :)

  • @djTLMtv
    @djTLMtv  Před 10 lety +1

    You can use any genre of music. So it doesn't matter at all. I used a couple of homemade beats for this video because of copyright issues, but you can use anything.
