okay guys so today we'll be going inside the DJ dimension follow me while I take
you guys into the DJ dimension so what might get me showing you guys today I'll
be showing you guys how I approach mixing two songs if you didn't know it a
lot of aging is mixing two songs together to keep the flow of music going
a lot of people don't understand this they just play one song after another
and that's not called be doing this is called play listing I'm gonna try to
teach you guys how to mix music today gonna have two songs playing at once and
it's gonna sound good hopefully alright some things you're gonna need for this
tutorial you need a DJ program so either Virtual DJ Serato for tractor
for this tutorial I'll be using Virtual DJ just because it's quick and easy and
you also need a bunch of songs same genre or similar BPM bunch of song folks
sometimes you're not gonna find the right song right away and then some
optional things mixing key mixing key is music analysis software
it analyzes the BPM and key of a song and most notably the key is what we are
looking for and another optional thing you can use as a DJ controller all right
so I'm gonna find two songs to mix we need them to be the same BPM or similar
BPM close enough that it won't matter a whole lot we also need them to be
similar key or the same key so something relative or connect the two through the
circle of fifths that's what we're looking for so a lot of folk music is in
a 130 BPM so I'm gonna do I'm gonna pick a song in 130 BPM okay so I'm gonna mark
the first key point here I already have some key points here I guess I'd saved
them from a Serato file
as marking this cue points I know where to start fading in the next song so now
that we have that I'm going to find a song in the same BPM and key or relative
key and I'm started playing with them see if I can get one that works so I'm
gonna try from the start of the song you you have to experiment sometimes with
this because sometimes not all songs start at the very beginning obviously
this one looks like it does so I'm gonna try that I'm gonna let it play and then
when it hits the cue point I'm gonna play song be so song a is gonna be
playing and then once it gets to the cue point I'm gonna trigger song bees cute
boy so that's not terrible but it's not great either
you try cutting the loads to see how it sounds so I'm gonna try cutting out um
if you're finding if you're finding this song the songs sound good together but
it sounds too loud or muddy you can try playing with the cues on either side
usually if usually got a problem solve long times so I'm gonna try turning off
the loads on this one here and see if that sounds good so as you could see it
bounced it worked better but it wasn't it wasn't good yet but we could actually
still make this one work if we wanted to so when when we dropped the next song we
could well cut out the lows on the on song a and we'll filter song B so it's
just the votes coming in so with a low-pass filter on it that's that's one
way to help make songs I wouldn't normally transition well work so to
explain what I'm doing again I'm gonna let song a play and then reaches the cue
point I'm gonna I'm gonna cut the lows completely and I'm gonna trigger song be
at its cue point and it already has a low pass filter on it so I should be
able to do this with my mouse and keyboard still
okay that is enjoy a bj right there hopefully you guys can use something
from this tutorial to learn how to mix together songs as you can see is songs
aren't usually meant to be mixed together but with a little bit of
fiddling and some cooler rhythms and programs you can you can make it happen
then you'll just seem to sleep mix from one song to the next then you can learn
how to do it not to a bunch of songs we can make mixes and then you can just
impress your friends thanks for watching claim is for your
beats this has been a tutorial showing you how I approach mixing two songs
together in order to seamlessly mix songs and a DJ setting don't forget to
