On the loop save, you can take off the sync so it won't catch the kick or the snare, you can catch what ever sound you like. Then use that sound as an instrument in the mix. Using FX, tempo change, the combinations are endless to a sound you're creating to use in your mix

[@midnightinfour]

Worth adding a trick to the mix -- lean into the tension that's been created by the supposed-trainwreck, and concurrently turn up Delay and a Hi-Pass Filter. Depending on the texture of the filter, it'll end up sounding like a warp-out, and let the listener settle into the new track.

[@leonaddison9823]

Great suggestion. Also in Delay you can change the pitch speed. lol.

[@BASSR1DER]

could always commit to the mix being slightly off by making it even more out of time until it comes back around and sounds in time again and you get that kick kick clap clap kick kick clap clap kind of vibe if that makes sense

[@KCBRYAN_1525]

You would still have to pull out of the mix.because the music would be out of phase and changing at different times.unless I’ve missed the point you’re making

[@DJJonnyBizzle]

I've done all of them at least once albeit sloppily on Pioneer DJ equipment but now I know how to eloquently do it on my prime 4🤷🏾‍♂️😆👌🏾🔥🤙🏾😜

[@lookster20]

I loved this. I'm an amateur & have avoided using the FX on my prime 4 because I've never understood how & there's just so many options... This video has given me something to play with; so thank you!

[@tomandmatt1000]

Always utilise your effects they're very handy for texture, build ups etc

[@michaelwojcik]

I would love to see a freestyle mix. How to pick tracks on the fly, for example say I load a USB with random tracks in it and how to make the mix flow, plus a continuation of this tip. Lets say you just download some tracks on the fly, never heard of them before. How to take that set, and rock a crowd. As a DJ myself, I have been in that position more than many times, It would be really interesting to see how you handle that. Curious : )

[@Nutzer-ij1mw]

My Tipps for mixing tracks you dont know: Use the Headphones and skip quick trough the track to check if it fits to your running track. if on cdj's: make use of key information and chose tracks that fit harmonically. learn to interpret the waveform and visually see what might happen in a track even if you never heard that track before. Timing is key - dance music mostly allways follow patterns (16 or 32 Bars before a major change) , mix in these patterns so you dont mess up these patterns and confuse the people on the dancefloor. So instead of starting the new track 12 Bars after the first track had his break, wait for the 16th Bar to finish. It's also okay to let a track mostly finish until you mix in the next track, if necessary and your tracks doesn't fit in key just wait until your first track plays it's last drum part until you mix in the other on. Most important: Stay calm and listen.

[@tonykidv2]

I do alot of harmonic mixing most of the times with tracks I don't know. I'll sometimes quickly listen through a track im planning on mixing next to make sure the mood is right for the moment. I also got to the point I can look at a waveform and tell myself I can skip parts of a n intro or go straight to the first verse of the song.

[@Flightcoach]

This is where the phrase "last night a dj saved my life" comes from

[@FSwiftDJ]

Good video , There are many ways. old vinyl technique with the cross fader, you would create a Rhthym flow pattern on the Hi Hats with quick fades in tempo off beat , while adjusting the pitch by ear or move the platter so you can bring the mix back in very quick and seamless all the listener heard was a cool effect on the hi hats and the best thing is you can do this on any mixer this technique was popular in vinyl days of Hard House, UK Garage, Jungle , Happy Hardcore , to learn how to mix fast or adjust fast turn off master tempo get to know the pitch more by ear this gives you the vinyl mixing technique and can add bit of edge to a mix . 👍

[@djezelmusic]

Thanks luke amazing thecniques !

[@oscarvivas959]

Thank you for your great information 👍🇨🇴🇵🇭

[@DJShuffle07]

Now that's the part just like on the CDJ 500ii as the Loop in and Cue 💯💯💯

[@ramonloera360]

Love your controler wish i had one like that

[@blackoutkiller]

Guest DJ In My Mind: W&W if you can! Otherwise, more DJ tips. How to control key changes and if you wanted to make a kick, lead/track in a different key would you go up/down one or to make it sound right would it be a whole octave? Can that be done with DJ equipment? I guess for example David Guetta’s & Morten’s Impossible near the end of the first drop.

[@leonaddison9823]

Match up your kick drum beats. on current track start to ease off the bass. On the new track intro use no bass. Timing is important. On new track start to intro the bass while on the first track continue to fade out the bass. On the new track hopefully let the vocal come in like a background and fade it in. Continue to fade out track one and Fade in track two. You can sometimes end the fade out with a delay applied at the end. It takes time to master. Just have fun. Dont stress. You here mistakes from the name brand Dj's all the time. Just dont rush or force the mix. Also get a few Pieces of music handy that you can use for these situations. Sort of a go to. Good luck. I've been spinning since 79'. Vinyl. Mix by ear and feeling. BPM counters are not accurate.

[@djslepi]

Finally new vlog :) Nice tips Luke :) Wash out is handy too :)

[@ONEHENDRIX]

Love Laid Back Luke’s channel.

[@luckymanuelo3759]

Nice Heisa cap!

[@moagnor]

This is the first thing I shoul have known before I started DJ-ing. TBH.

[@elmeralvarado6754]

cant wait to see you live again Laidback, always a dope set!!!

[@David-ib8ek]

Cool tips, I use the backspin technique with echo already but good to get confirmation from a master 🙏🏾

[@osh241]

Hey L.L keep up the good work. I spanked a load of cash on a Prime 4.. love it an loving your tips. Keep them coming as they are helping me!

[@mexvenom007]

these are helpful ! just started learning .one of my fav djs !! first listened to you in HS when you did a bbc essentials mix . this is awesome !!

[@djslepi]

I would like to see Q&A about you and Ashley after you are married :) Or some more personal vlog :)

[@HarshKapadia]

Oh yeah this would be fun!

[@digitaldjtips]

👏👏👏

[@lewisgarrison860]

very helpful video

[@bboymac84]

That last mix is nice!!!

[@CatherineSunday]

All these videos are so sick, thank you Luke!

[@Housecatcollect]

So happy to see you still doing these, when’s the anniversary brotha ? Godbless

[@HellcatLouie]

I use all of them except 2… and the one i use the most often is the loop and fade.

[@stevendw108]

thanks for these great tips, will try this at home!

[@alvarolemus8024]

Thank you so much for the tutorial 🙏

[@marvinc88]

Amazing tips master Luke. 👐

[@AnK-im5zk]

How do you balance your outputs using the mixer only? (Trim, Low/mid/high, filters etc.) This is to find out more on how to maintain the consistency of a set, sound wise.

[@officialkozar1236]

Denon dj ? Explain why if everyone uses pioneer? That all in one looks awesome but i only use pioneer due to the industry standard

[@djleeven]

Helpful a lot Thanks

[@HarshKapadia]

Nice tutorial!

In my mind vlogs

[@rickshs7613]

What controller is that?

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

I use all of these except for the short loop, I'm gonna give this ago next time I'm 6 hours in to an 8 hour set and I'm starting to slip 🥴

[@P4boot]

Omg what event is there???

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

@@P4boot I live in Perth, Australia. We are lucky to be one of the most isolated cities in the world and our government is very efficient with handling outbreaks. So have stayed basically covid free. As soon as there is 1 positive case we lockdown for a few days and squash it. So we have no restrictions and venues are open as normal and no masks. We are very lucky and venues are as busy as ever 🙏🏽☺️

[@trackaholic]

Hey Luke. Do you find that using earbuds is more comfortable?

[@bellpepper3166]

How would these work for vocals? I was doing a livestrem, and I accidentally mixed in two tracks with vocals playing at the same time.

[@AlIguana]

yeah, last thing you want is two clashing vocals. there is no real way to cover it up really. you could eq out the mid and high which will get rid of most of the vox, then switch basses as usual. it's going to sound "eh" though, so best to maybe set memory points where vocals start so you can see them and avoid them

[@EthanLeo]

👍👍👍

[@elmo9450]

Be my mentor ☹

[@Avanity]

11:19 I want to see how you do this on 300 Bpm lol

[@FourthCo]

What an absolute beautiful piece of hardware. *Laidback Luke* is definitely inspiring me to get on the Denon DJ train

[@Victor-it6bv]

Just press the sync button when you screw up.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@assassinatingindividual6032]

Wow! The amount of ways to get away from the bad mix is probably gonna make me intentionally SCREW up the mix xD

[@David-ib8ek]

😂

[@leonaddison9823]

Practice Practice Practice. You will feel when its done correctly. Record your sets and play them back to understand what your doing. Builds confidence.

[@assassinatingindividual6032]

@@leonaddison9823 that recording tip's gr8 man! Thanks

[@mrsleepyshow]

Rogan listeners: Is there a way to get Luke onto Rogan because of the martial arts connection and the multi-dimensional career connection??

[@InnocentAnglerfish-pr9cl]

Love your work. Can i just add. Dont beat yourself up if the mix goes wrong. Thats ok. Every DJ been there. Make the next one better

[@GymusicIsrael]

So helpful! Definitely gonna use your advices in my next mix!

[@twotheone]

I normally just turn the power off on the mixer and look at the guy next to me.... "There's not a problem I can't fix, because I can do it in the mix..."

[@djkayb1]

Men you are the best I using you technique it’s work bro thank you bro 😎

[@tobyhillaudio]

Hows the song called in the Intro ?

[@CSdjcdog]

Why not just fix it with the pitch, all ways worked for me

[@dj_9iron]

Interesting. Love my prime 4

HI , IM A NEW DJ AND LOVE YOUR TIPS THANKS🙂

Love that tutorial.

The best

[@laurentinomendoza4623]

Nice

[@mickharrison90]

Usually stay away from these videos as I normally think its different DJ gear so applies differently but it actually doesn't. Have binged watch quite a few now, love the scratching one. Would love to see how you do that pitch trick like at Tomorrowland 2011. Salute

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Ahh Lukes Pitch Play technique. You can actually do that in serato with the Pitch'n'time pack, its quite easy and effective.

[@mickharrison90]

@@dj_paultuk7052 Im on Rekordbox im afraid 🙁

[@Rehoxx]

What I also recommend is scrathing the song that it's going out and playing with the FXs, helped me a lot on emergency situations hahah (:

[@DJShuffle07]

The very first one i little bit do that all the time fade it down, and faded it back up while got it fixed 💯💯💯

[@trackaholic]

Most of the time I just cut the song out completely or frantically try to beat match it lmao

[@rawtruthisahardpilltoswall6180]

So I’m looking for tips to dj. I recently invited myself to dj “play music” for a 90s theme party. I got the ddj 200 and now I’m moving to the ddj sb3.. I always played a lot of music and collected a bunch of songs through out my life. I’m watching videos of tutorials and I came across your channel and man let me tell you. I just thought you were just another dj teaching rookie techniques till I saw your name. Man!! Just want to say I had lots of fun back in the days playing your music with my friends and that jam you did called “Need your loving” stayed on repeat ver since I heard it and still play that shit when I feel like playing something dope to listen to. Thank you for that🙏. And also for the tips they are great. I have about a month to learn so ima keep watching your new and older videos thank you.

[@micahbageant659]

Thank You Master! Hahahaha! I love my Prime 4! U kinda help me with making the final decision to get it 2 months ago...almost got the XDJ-XZ, but went with Denon and so happy I did! So much to learn though coming from 1200's and being late to the Full Digital. The Prime 4 is so Amazing! TIDAL is a must with the 3 month free trial out the box...

[@axios2042]

My request for the next vlog would be a Producer/DJ Q&A... my question would be: what's your advice for producers who are ready to start to working with vocalists? Any advice for finding collabs? Best way to approach a vocalist? Tips for working with them?

[@brawlerz1299]

Good seeing you again Laidback Luke!!! The OG making content for the future DJs and producers!!!

[@arminverwest220]

Hello 👋. Your cap 🧢 is so beautiful. Tell me from where you buy your caps!? 🤔 I want to get one 1⃣. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Silkroads733]

See I don’t mind this dj, because you can tell he’s ego free, I can’t take learning from a full of themselves hyped up djs, this dude is like what it says on the tin..and true to his name..

[@lambadainc8510]

You Know Luke, even though you music taste is very different from mine. I think you are by far on of the best djs in the world on a technical standpoint.

[@dominictran8495]

7:07 The backspin could have gotten a separate mention. Instead of being lumped up with echo escape. The good-ol’ backspin on the sl man.

[@mwitamathnyamosi7847]

how do I setup my software, so that I can use than loop in and cue trick? mine goes straight to hot cue number 1 or last used hot cue, and not loop in point. Using vdj

[@mmirceamano]

This is really for beginners! By the way ,to do it better you must practice a lot and learn for your mistakes If you practice with random playlist, at some point you will get confidence to mix any music nice and smooth

Yes of course its important to prepare and practise. Tho the master part of learning is doing mistakes and overcoming them, in my humble opinion. 😊

[@cjpeeton]

@@tuomasleinonen9459 It was very important to do mistakes of Your own . That's how I learnt as well . oldschool djs have more on hands control than new guys . The technology saves them every time .

[@matthiasdotzler2368]

Another crude one: have an air horn or explosion sample ready and really get that train crash feeling up to a new level - then start afresh with a cool tune
