Crossfader in Transition 1, what Kind of Filter do you use ? Or is is just The eq? I just have a Traktor kontrol smk2

@Crossfader

On the Traktor S2 you can either swap the gain/trim control at the top of the EQs for filter in the S2 settings within Traktor set up. Or you could use a filter assigned to the channel from the effect rack.

Been dj'ing for almost a year, and still learning all the time. Crossfader is a fantastic learning aid for those who really want to push the boundaries of their skillsets, really appreciate the work you guys put into these vids. Thank you!

Wish i found your tutorials a few years ago when i was transitioning from vinyl to digital. I'm learning a lot, even the basics help. Coming up with these techniques on your own is not easy and your clear instructions are great, thank you.... your taste in music definitely helps too. thank you for all your doing.

5 is especially my favorite. I always like it when DJs use the melodies and harmonies of two songs to bridge them together.

I'm just an ordinary guy, who has been listening to dance music for a very long time and can I just say, you DJ guys and girls are super talented and incredibly clever. I for one couldn't hope to approach the amazing tricks and devices you all use. Actually, I don't want to when I have top DJs to do it for me. And you make it look so easy. Wow. That's why I simply love to listen and watch the best at work. Great sounds, inventive techniques, thanks for the insight.

ok so ivve basicly been teaching myself and ive used some of these but watching u do them has helped me and will greatly improve my mixing

Thanks so much. Even for someone like me who's done this for a while, it's always good to brush up on basics to keep from getting stale. Much appreciated!

you should really try to learn it, its super simple and with people like Jamie, here its even easier. mixing is easy start by getting a program, and just try to match song phrases together and practice counting your beats, then upgrade to learning to beat match and from there you should have enough understanding (in like 2-3 weeks) to be able to apply some of these tricks. TRUST me, NAILING a transition or drop or anything is SO incredibly satisfying. specially when its two songs you always dreamt of mixing.

These techniques helped me a lot, "simple" but effective... Good vibes from Portugal🇵🇹

The hot cues one was my favorite, thanks Jamie. From Chile #WeAreCrossfader

Mixing idea number 4 is my favourite. Great video once again! #WeAreCrossfader

This is one of my favorite videos of yours Jamey. I've watched this like 10 times!

Thank you very much for the lessons Jamie and the music, I appreciate it a lot.

My favourite is definitely mixing technique 1. I'm using the autoloop technique a lot, and I personally believe it's effective, and pretty easy to master. However the first 1st one is easy to learn, really effective but more difficult to master. There's always creative ways you can develop it. #WeAreCrossFader

I would love to see a video that shows a general idea of each FX and what their intended effect is. For example; reverb can be used to fill space and create dramatic build. Interested in things like enigmatic jet, flanger and phaser. I mix mostly peak/driving techno (BPM 127-135) Thanks!

Great 👍 video! That last technique really opened my eyes 👀 a bit!!! I love your channel so far! Great material

Filter In and Out (1) and Hi Hat Mixing (4) both really peaked my interest. Indeed, adopting your suggested techniques would add variety to any mix. I'm not sure how effective they might be with other styles of music, mostly hip-hop and dancehall. But I play mostly EDM and calypso/soca music and both genres blend nicely together. Anyway, good video and much helpful tips.

My favorite mixing technique is number 3. I'm an open format DJ, and I discovered it kind of by accident (or out of necessity), and the loop feature is something that has worked for me very well. However, I never considered chopping the loop in half. Now that I know it would sound nice to chop it every 8 or 4 beats, I feel like I've been playing it safe all this time. Thanks for breaking down this technique. I'll definitely try it tomorrow during my dj set. #WeAreCrossfader

Technique five was my favorite. I just turned 40 and my wife got me dj bundle so I just started to dj and I’m having blast although finding tracks has been more tasking and time consuming as I thought. I have been using the echo transition and it true I find myself using this technique to often. Thanks fo the vid.

You are real pro man...my favorite is #5 but did it allready..though...you're still the best...thnx

Since I am a House DJ in training, I prefer the first one. Using the Filter and Low EQ's to blend and bring in one track and slowly fade out another. I used this technique last night and hope to use it again when I record my mix.

I really like the Word Play technique. The others I use often is some form or variation, but the Word Play was a game changer for me. I have been DJing now for less than 1 yr. I have always been in music from vocal to instrumental to production I was a Karaoke DJ for a long time before jumping into digital DJing with CONTROLLER and let me tell you it has made me one of the hottest guys around in the world of Karaoke. Thanks for the new. I subscribed today as well.

Great video! Great transitions!

Really cool! congrats!

Thanks for sharing these great ideas! I can't wait to try them out =)

As an open-format dj i use all my hotcues on the nxs2 for various parts of the song. A (green) - 8 bars in to the intro/15 sec left of the intro (for fast mixing), B (purple) - when the vocals start, C (yellow) - buildup, D (red) - Drop. Then i use the rest of the 4 hotcue banks to do the same, but for the second part of the song. So no 5 might be good for the ones who doesn't use hotcues like me. And the other ones were good beginner tips. But the one that i need to practise more is no 3. I know it's a powerful tool to use loops, but i rarly cut them in half. So that's what I'm going to practise. Thank you. Best regards from Sweden.
