  • Hi guys, in part one of my transition tips series, I cover the basics of drop mixing &juggling/scratching beats on time. I was asked by a DJ with a year or so's experience for some tips/advice on some transition techniques for R&B & Hip Hop.
    There will be more advanced techniques and different transition styles (Including loops in future videos)
    If you have any questions please feel free to ask me in the comment section below.

      That song actually has 8 bars of the instrumental in the beginning. You could loop that over the end of one track and cut over to it right at "Pack it up pack it in".

    I tried mixing Hip-hop and i find it difficult! I'm use to progressively bringing up the volume fader. I usually mix house, tech, and trance!
    To me "throwing it in" isn't correct. I guess it's okay for hip hop! thanks for the tutorial!

    • @RefugeetheDJ

      @Molathegreat1 Před 7 lety +2

      2 ways Drop or Blend Drop just Drop the new song after the rise of the earlier one or if you good with counts Learn the timing of the songs. you blend the 4 bars of the rise with the 4 bars before the new songs drop.
