This video is very much specific for tech house music I think. I like the more natural long loops to blend tracks more naturally.

This is a really great video, loved the different techniques and really well explained and demonstrated! Also loved the background visuals! Great work team crossfader.

[DesirableLibra]

Love this video!! Thank you! So creative. I’ve been finding ways to use and get these similar things on my REV1 in Serato lite. Have to move more diligent and quicker but it’s worth the work i enjoy being human lol. “Easy” is for chumps & robots!!

[sauceeofc]

Great video! Definitely essential for any DJ looking to up their game and stand out from the rest

I agree- that initial loop technique is whack as heck. Try looping rhythmic material, or areas of the outgoing track where the melodic elements are still present but more sparse, then let the mix ride for a while for a long blend. This has a way of making it feel like a track is always slightly different when you play it. Admittedly, this works better for deep tech styles that I favor, rather than drop-heavy genres.

Damn Bro. That was a very good video. Thank you so much ❤

I use the trans and filter a lot. The only time I trigger a loop for a stutter effect outside of adding some effects to it might be when I loop a previous tracks hi hat and use it to intensify a build up, but i also try to filer, echo, dub echo maybe, or reverb which is my favorite and as the loop speeds up I crank the reverb while I'm pulling the fader down for whoosh.

Liked this video as a DJ from way back I’m
Getting back into it using a DDJ and could get into loops then kind of just got stuck in them not knowing how to get out of them

[chatamistyka]

Very useful technique. Thanks for that !

[DjCamme]

Use the pitch effect on cfx is better because you stay in grid, then go to cue the loop and go

[daaz]

very very good tutorial 10/10 keep it up

[RickyTrivedi]

Awesome example of beginner to advance.

[DJ-Daz]

Nice one Loz. You know what my favourite video is? The DDJ 1000 Old school mix from Jamie, it really needs a FLX 10 make over though. 👌

[kozmobluemusic]

another technique you had shown in an older video was using the different loop lengths via the performance pads

alternating between halving and doubling was an excellent way to spice up a loop-based transition
or hitting “in” rhythmically

[leonardomuller]

Thank you so much, for bring us another cool way to get more fun mixes, again....😊

[diegodurdon]

The last one how to james hype hahaha good video!!!

[Dj.Ran]

That was super wonderful to learn!
Thank you!

[Flightcoach]

Can you guys please do a video on properly layering progressive house? There is loads of looping involved but in a very different way as with this classic house style

[coutoalberton]

Can you guys ever teach something about tribe house or EDM music ? They are very very popular at circuit parties, lots of people love it and there are absolutely no videos online teaching any skills about it .

Loops are fundamental for mixing, but I don't like in "solo" mode. ( I'm talking about the bar where is playing only the loop of the out song)
