TRANSITION BETWEEN ANY GENRE/BPM! | DJ ECHO OUT TUTORIAL

Hey Beat Hackers,

In this week's video, I wanted to show you one of the most valuable skills as a party DJ, switching genres/BPMs in a smooth way that won't kill your set, and that's the echo-out effect! There are effects that make this easier or you can do it manually as I show in the video. If you enjoy the way I teach then be sure to visit my website:
Where I have some more free training for you!
Don't forget to leave your favorite effects down in the comments, I want to know what effects are most important for you when you're mixing!

See you all next week,
Phil

I just stop the track pick up the mic and scream 'Yo Ultra/Tomorrowland come with me on this one' and then press play on the next track.

Just kidding.

Fave effect is echo with small amount of high or low pass filter combined.

[DJMichaelKhoury]

Phil you explain things simply clearly and to the point, you are much appreciated sir 👍

[Gitiffan]

Such great info, Phil. I am literally a rookie DJ and love learning all your tutorials! I pretty much DJ for family and friends parties and get together. Parties are so much more fun with great music! Thanks for the tips, Phil!

[djspyduck]

you are seriously the only DJ I am watching on youtube for tips and tricks just because you can explain everything so well and most of the time I emmidiatly understand what you're saying, thanks and go ahead explaining things like you always do

[Keepit-wlks]

Hey Phil,
Just want to say thank you. just started Djing for fun "bedroom dj" lol and your videos have been super helpful! Thanks again!

[chadnlizk]

Hold echo added with echo can get creative too, creating your own custom tale to any track. Or echo applied to a spin back on platter gets you into alot of track transitions. Great advice to new djs!

[gabrieluy]

I like using Flanger. I typically use it on the build up to the drop

[marvinmalabanan]

I love using the Echo 1/2, Echo 1/4, Flange and Reverb. I use it mostly in house or deep house music. When a track is playing and is about to come to a long part of the track where there is no drum beats or kicks, I prepare the next songs part where it has just the beat or kick with the high and mid EQ slightly lower depending on the beat's loudness. I slowly bring it in, in a loop just before the start of the "no beats part" of the track that is playing, slowly increasing its volume. Then, I add Flange effects to the 1st song, then add Echo 1/2 to the drum beat track in the middle of the "no drum beat part", then change to Echo 1/4 before the the 1st song restore to its own beat and adding Reverb effects. Just before the beats on the 1st aong comes back, quickly turn down volume fader of track 2 while still pressing Echo 1/4, release Echo 1/4 on track 2, release flange effect of track 1, then release reverb effect of track 1. It's like a soft EDM effect on the music and it will keep everybody dancing, most especially when you come across tracks with long no beats part. Some people gets bored easily or finds it hard to dance without the beats.
I hope this made sense. I am not a professional DJ. I only use a DDJ-400 and play just for close relatives and friends.
I enjoy your contents...keep it up!
Cheers and more power to your channel!👍

I have a Pioneer DJM-909 and it has a Ducking Echo effect meaning the echo out effect automagically starts when I bring the fader down on the outgoing track. Can’t live without it. No dial turning!! Plus you can effect only certain frequencies. Meaning if you don’t want the low frequencies to echo out( cuz it usually sounds a bit muddy if you do) you can cut them out. Amazing mixer!

[vladdy_music]

I am using DDJ-400 with Recordbox:


There are some ways to make echo effect with such a setup: 1) The easiest way is to select "Echo" for the FX, turn the FX knob to the 9 o'clock position (or higher), and cut the volume of the track you applied echo to.
2) Go to Pad FX settings and select "Echo'', apply to one of your pad buttons. It works with literally just pushing that one button at the moment you want to cut the track (do not forget to hit play on track 2 and pause the track 1 before turning Echo off)


If you have intros/outros, you could also beatmatch, but it is much much harder to make smooth transitions that way..


Bonus: You could also use backspin or vinyl brake to add more variety in your sets...

[Bionic]

The echo out is my go to, especially after a certain phrase in a track. Appreciate your channel and content.#Salute

[bassfixproductions]

Dude I use this a ton for bar gigs when jumping around music! It works perfectly no matter what you’re gonna jump to/from

[dvdcase]

I mostly use the "Spiral" effect on the last beat. Just before the break. From there on you have to time to other track to play. No FX pack needed and free. Did it once from a house track to a happy hardcore track (much faster). People knew the incoming track and got a nice reaction from the crowd.

Thanks Phil after watching this video I have been using echo out for most of my mixes with different genre.

[octavianr]

Amazing crystal clear teaching! I learnt much of your lessons just by trial and error, before Djs started to share knowledge. Echo out is a simple and trustful way of transition between genres or tracks with different BPM! I just add it to skills with reluctance, because I believed is a dummy way out! :)) But your lesson confirmed it is a good thing! Note: On Traktor S4, autoloop doesn't give that similar round-sound of echo out, it is just looping brutally. My preferred effects on EDM are Chopping - good for transition between the same BPM-, Flanger and Echo! Thank you, Phil, you are awesome, funny, the video shows exactly what are you speaking about, big Hug!

[rockodarla]

Hey Phil, your videos are really helpful. I'm getting better by the day.Thank you for what you do. Keep em coming.

[djnandoo]

I don't know if I fully agree with just using "echo out on 1/2". If I want to go from 128 or around it I use it with a "drop" fx so a hard bass fade out and drop something super popular depending on my crowd. As a professional mobile DJ for 8 years different tracks have different transitions. There are also dj tools (songs) that have transitions from a high bpm to a low bpm that help out a lot

[DjRoNINofficial]

Been watching your stuff for a bit now and you're killing bruv! Keep it up!

[GoodxJ]

How come the track you transitioned out of with the clean echo out didn't keep playing audibly (since it was still playing if there is more time left) when you brought in the next song by Eve ? you didn't pull the fader/volume down on deck 1 and you couldn't hear that song anymore though even with crossfader in middle to hear both decks...

[THESHADOWMASTER]

Looping seems to be the most useful tool for transitioning. Ive already seen two different transitions that use it and i'm confident there are more uses for it.
