►SCRIPT

Technique #1 - Backspin

Using Backspins is an effective way to bring energy to ones set because it hypes up the entrance of the next song.

But the thing is, it can sound pretty bad if not done correctly, so the secret to use Backspins effectively when you’re mixing 2 songs together, is to first activate an echo effect on the track you’ll be backspinning from, then to slightly lower the volume of the track as you near the transition point, then to Backspin the track 2 to 4 beat before the next song reaches its intro.

Technique #2 - Pad FX

So these are my Pad FX settings, and I tend to play around with these effects when I want to spice up a track. So I suggest to copy these settings and to play around with them to do cool Pad FX combos.

Now let’s move on to Technique #3 which is Scratch/Cue Dropping

So as you just saw there this way to transition bypasses mixing, because all you’re doing is just echoing out the previous track away and scratching/cueing the next song in.

Now I personally like to use a 1/2 Echo effect on the previous song right before I scratch/cue drop

Anyway, let’s now move on to Technique #4 which is Delay Filter Accenting

Now, there’s only so much you can do during an EDM Build up, so what most Pro DJ’s do, is that they tend to use the Filter knob and Delay effect to hype up their build up.

So their strategy is to simply turn their Filter Knob clockwise during the build up, and counter clockwise when the build reaches its climax. All while the Delay effect is active and set to either 1/4 or 1/2.

So for this example, we’ll activate our Delay effect, and start turning our Filter knob at Cue Point A, then we’ll bring the Filter knob back to the 12 o’clock position and deactivate our Echo effect at Cue Point B

So that’s the most basic way to use that Delay Filter combo, but if you wanna take it even further, try playing around with the volume fader of the track, as well as the Filter knob as you reach the song’s climax.

Now let’s take this Build Up accenting to another level by using Technique #5 which is Noise CFX Accenting

So what I just used their in place of a Filter and Dub Echo FX is a Noise CFX, and as its names implies, this knob creates White Noise. Along with that, I combined the Noise CFX, with an Echo Effect as well as a Pad FX Trans effect to get that stuttery sound effect.

So all you have to do to do this trick is to first activate an echo effect when you reach the current song’s build up section, then to slowly turn the Noise CFX knob clockwise, then as you near the track’s climax, at the same time, crank the Noise CFX knob clockwise and counter clockwise, and activate a Pad FX trans effect. And when you finally reach the current song’s drop, remember to bring that Noise CFX knob back to the 12 o’clock position and to deactivate the echo effect

I’m glad that I bought this DDJ 400. So much learning i get from you! 🙌🏻

You know, I've been listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff's live sets during the pandemic. And the more I listen to him, the more I notice it's more about the music and less about "DJ tricks". I get that everyone has their own style, and folks like the DJ's mentioned at the start of the video cater to a different crowd that DJ JJ, but what Jeff does best is track selection and energy flow. If you nail that, then the "tricks" become less important.

[Averro]

Great tips! Echo + Filtering is such a game changer in build ups ;)

[TengoSama]

Thank you so much! I've learned a lot from your videos and my own experimentation with effects but every one of your videos teaches me something new to play with. I only got two months of practice in but with your help I'm already surprising myself at what I've been able to do. Tons of love my guy! You're the best!

00:32 how I imagine my first gig would go

[Keiko_Kitsune]

I know im a year late, but I find it impressive that even after you practiced all of those hardcore "show off" Techniques yourself and won championships with them, you still emphasize the fact that less is more. Humble and knowledgeable. Thank you. Got my first turntable (ddj200) with your help.

Anyone recently obsessed with using stems to transition mixes? Keep those melodies and vocals over a new beat, or vice versa. Seamless and smooth like butter.

[eightk]

no matter how much you learn from this guy’s videos, he always transfers so much positivity no matter what. keep it up.

[ericvalencia-hbzv]

CARLO LOL, you killed me with that chuckle @ 36 seconds, looped that part and it made my day! THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING SO MANY!!! I practice your DJ philosophy!

[paulsherlock]

This tutorial has been the absolute game changer for me, so pleased you made it 🙌

[matinuskathundrrphukk]

I'm a musician first, just started dj'ing as another way to create. I like to sync loops throw my own bests over that. Really appreciate the tips !!! Thanks

[KingThiccuhms]

Thank you for being such a great teacher and such an inspiration. I'm definitely going to have some banger dubstep sets now after this.

[ejpressplay]

This is definitely the best tutorial out on youtube!

[Freddy_Bear_Bland]

Thank you really helped with the tips going to set my fx to your preference cheers again

[OHLR]

DJ Carlo your videos are always helpful salamat

[AAPromotions]

I’m no pro Dj, just was taught how to Dj true Dj I still don’t know how to use a Sync button I was taught to never use that. Haha! But back spin, I use couple times during my sets. I try to do my back spin seconds before the coarse drops, hype the crowd up and they go into a chorus they all know and dance/sing too.

Your videos are dope! Keep up the solid professional work.

[jacqueslochs]

I like the CFX and backspin techniques.

[seralbay]
