Dude active loops is about to change my life omg

[@willanderson7466]

I'm 37, I use to DJ using vinyls on a pair of Vestax turntables however stopped when my kids were born as had no space to keep them. Over lockdown I have been watching a lot of videos on the DDJ400 and am amazed at how the technology has progressed since I last DJed. I'm on the verge of convincing myself to buy this controller and your vids are very informative and honest. Don't know how much longer I can resist the urge.......

[@pacemakerdj]

It's a great controller for just about everything you'll ever need. Just keep in mind there's only one RCA output, no booth etc

[@-M0LE]

It’s £250 in Argos

[@willanderson7466]

@@-M0LE yes, I saw......very tempting.

[@ip5799]

@@willanderson7466 Hi mate, if you do buy one I just got one off Urban Outiftters for £224. Free next day delivery. When you sign up to their mail list they give you 10 percent off. couldn’t find anywhere cheaper.

[@willanderson7466]

@@ip5799 cheers mate, I'll check it out.

[@pacemakerdj]

Not an effect trick, but something I didn't know until very recently was the Shift+Jog wheel activates quick search and you can scroll quickly through your track. I felt kinda dumb when I found out that was a thing 😂

[@sttz6266]

Basically shift button has Easter eggs 😂😂

[@pacemakerdj]

@@sttz6266 dude literally Google what pioneer shift buttons do, they're the center of every controller lol

[@970SHARKO]

I already knew most of these effects but it’s still helpful for beginners I wish I saw this starting out

[@kayso7723]

Wow. I knew about the Active loop by accident. But that release fx I do like the most now seeing this. Thanks guys!

[@Consty]

this video has insanely good features I didn't know. Thank you

[@eightk4225]

thanks so much. one question: when I use the release FX button, it turns off the filter knob. how do I stop that?

[@IvanLoreto7]

Thank you for these gems. Colour FX and Release FX are fave! Didn't know all 5! 🤙🏼🍻🤲🏼💎

[@TheTyper]

Did not know about the FX lock you can set by switching pad modes, impressive.

[@originalhasky]

The Release FX and the Active Loop tip were mindblowing new to me! I play and try around alot with my ddj-400, but those two i didnt discover yet! but they're SOOOO damn helpful! THX!

[@terrancekayton007]

Active loop would be the first thing I’d focus on the & release fx would be the 2nd, as a newbie. Those are golden for me.

[@iamthestorm1503]

Had no clue about changing parameters with shift or the release fx. Thanks Jamie!

[@NexuJin]

I actually discovered more tricks with the DDJ-400 in the past 2 years that I have had mine DDJ-400 that hasn't been featured yet on this channel. Would love to share them so everyone can have fun with it. How do I get in touch?

[@djwalkerfemaledj]

Thank you man I’m watching this video 1.45 am and mixing on my 400 DDJ controller

[@timd7709]

just started setting markers during the track... and had to activate repeat loop manually... thank you for showing i can just activate it ahead of time... :D

[@cntrlalltdlt]

I love this controller for quick action last minute music sessions

[@echodeltalima]

I knew 60% of those tricks but its nice to know the other 40% also. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@skin28420]

Last one. The release fx. I will definitely use that

[@feelsrightslow]

number 1 is the one I’ve been looking for thank you!!

[@Intervaloverdose]

Changing the sound colour fx ZOMG lol, thanks for that one!

[@PsiStar]

Can you do that on CDJs?

[@rawunboxing8536]

Just came across this video and loved it. Thank you. How to increse/decrease loop using jogwheel

[@DgamesJ]

Last two I had no idea about, love that!

[@cyoptic_dnb]

does this work on the SB3 also?

[@piratedragon703]

I had no idea about the SoundFx Lock... by switching over... I thought it had to be set to hold in the settings... Nice little trick I am going to work on getting use to it later. I really like the DDJ-400, but I really want to start working with a 4 Channel for multiple track mixes, but the price jump from a DDJ-400 to another Decent Rekordbox Controller 4 channel controller is priccccey. Great video Saved it for my DJ Guides Much appreciate your videos. Great stuff.... Shift Echo toooo.... Sheeeesh Thanks again mate.

[@szymonkukanow]

As always great tutorial, I didn’t know about the releases fx one. ❤

[@TheJackweiser]

Thanks a ton for these tips 👍

[@chathurabuddika4233]

I didn’t know the Last tip,releasing fx Can be acting with shift button. Now it has become so much easier to make it sounds better when transitioning . thank you Crossfader❤️

[@kobefargo805]

I knew about most of them but your explanation of the Release EFX was helpful, thank you! I had a question though, up top in Rekordbox you had the 4 efx in the bank, (Echo, Phaser, Spiral, Vinyl Break) Is there a way to have them all on at the same time? Almost like a multi efx, being controlled all together by the blue button?

[@Zyderos_64]

The tips I was looking for. Thanks!

[@seb5587]

Loved the last one

[@alloveraustin]

Sound color fx was a nice one

[@Ai.TechSage]

The release one was nice , thanks

[@Raizgriz]

The release ex I didn't know. And I just got myself a ddj 400 n and I'm practicing.

[@trapled8609]

All the tips are great 👍thanks

[@iustin44]

Didn't know the last one, thank you!

[@natehayes7834]

The Release FX button is dope

[@Cobalt9517]

I knew only tip number 2 thank you so much 🙏 The active loop trick will change my life 😂

[@Nono-mm6zs]

Kinda takes the fun out of it pre planning that far ahead , dont mind planning but i still like to use my loops myself tbf. Still a great tool if you have a very busy creative set going on tho i suppose

[@carhole]

This is so helpful, I knew a couple but that release FX I would never have found by myself

[@heyli7]

Thanks more info always help!!

[@andnegr]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Steveness100]

I didn’t know any of these - thanks heaps! 👍

[@BinaryAdventure]

Didn't know about parameter buttons, didn't know you could do the active loop via controller, didn't know you could hold multiple pad FX, didn't know about release FX, thanks!

[@maddog2314]

I did have to figure parts of these on my own, but the deeper uses like release FX stopping normal FX are huge and unintuitive. Something else! As I noticed, the jog wheels use touch capacitance. It turns out that turning the outside of the wheel without using the top flat part will do fine tuning of your song position!

[@MadDogskii]

Awesome… total time saver… I’ll be trying these out that’s for sure…

[@djlongg2345]

Wow ,the last one is cool.Did not know about that feature ❤️😎

[@DJKavish]

Most useful features also a precise and to the point video. Overall a good helpful video.

[@miggedymax]

Active loops was news to me! Also adding loops to the hot cues. Gotta try it 👌

[@mehranabbasiofficial]

Great Tips! thanks for video

[@hermineillesh1987]

Thanks, gotta try it!

[@ortizmusic7115]

Sidenote, what laptop would you recommend for a large collection of music and best quality for music sound, and it will be used for the 400 and for music only, thaxxx buddy

[@Nono-mm6zs]

Didnt know about the shift and Fx button for a release effect! Man thats shaved having to do a quick movement off my mixing! Nice one jamie

[@kingsfan2099]

I knew the shift did alot but changing parameters from the TouchPads are cool as shit...

[@scars9689]

How to bring the active loop… 👊🏾 nice one for that

[@mariadamian4534]

I did not know any of them, thank you! The last one left me gaging! My favourite dj channel and coach team by far are these guys🥹

[@isaacpalomares3342]

Didn't know any of them thanks for the info

[@andreavilia8141]

Can you do the same On the FLX6? Change the filter to Space or Echo Dub?

[@ewlke]

03:46 my hot cues and other pads are displayed on screen like A E B F D G D H In the video they correspond to the physical buttons on the controller: A B C D E F G H How can I change this, in order to have it displayed like this? One remark about the active loop : be aware you can only have one active loop 'active'. So if you want to make use of two active loops, you need to manually set it on the second one after the first one has finished

[@L.V.G.O.]

thx so much mate! great!

[@soundssecure6238]

do you have any videos for Numark Mixdeck Express?

[@GreetingsItsEva]

Parameter button for sure

[@valhallaraiders7901]

Thank you mate

[@audioneiromancer2790]

The active loop tip answered a nagging question I’d had about setting active loops ahead of time using the controller, but most of the other tips were new too (I got my DDJ-400 yesterday!)

[@Lasrymusic]

Wo thank u for these as beginner this helps a ton! My favorite one was probably the 3rd one🙏🙏

Damn what a time saver , 😂 so many new dj's who dont know what they are doing , who dont put in the work and gives it just for free 😭

[@brentkylegutierrez5663]

I own ddj 400 and I saw somewhere here in KZbin before, he make color yellow memory cue instead of color red. And now I wonder how he do that, because now I try searching for that video and can't find it anymore. My guess also is that video comes from here, but you have bunch of videos already too tired to search for it 😅

[@widowmker86lastryke95]

@crossfader I'm learning on an pioneer ddj flx 6 can u do a controller walk threw

[@mattwhit02]

they already did a few months ago or so

[@geraldfer]

The shift brake, echo... The last part... I didn't know it could do any of this... I was thinking of how to get those FX sounds out of the ddj... Thank you 👍🏿👍🏿

[@oshikantor966]

the paramiter key!!!

[@MrNonStopOrator]

I’m interested in your classes what do they cost to get what one would need to have a good enough idea of equipment like this, I currently just have numark party mix, but I don’t want a mix that much I want to actually create my own beats

[@KasYra5]

Program name??

[@Steveness100]

Awesome information! Had my 400 for 3 weeks now so this is gold - thanks 🙏

[@edoardosantarcangelo9074]

I do have a quesiton. I've used a bit my DDJ-400 for the last 6 months and I've noticed something that I still haven't quite realized. When I go to the FX Pads I can play different fx, whether they're default or not. But when I use Shift + any FX on the pad it plays some fx that are not shown (try it yourself, and you'll see). So my question is, what are those fx and, if possible, how can i change them to some other fx? Hope someone could help me. thank u

[@kzpinsert]

When u use shift, u activate FX effecs on the second page (use arrow on computer to see page 2)

[@markyruss]

How do you skip backwards ( like if the track needs to be restart )

[@svh1988]

Shift + cue ( the cue above the play/ pause)

[@Audentity]

Track at 3:50?

[@rubenmartinez5602]

help me find ittttt
