How To Mix Between Different Genres (Manual Loop Method) - Serato DJ Pro Tricks

Here is just one way to use Serato DJ Pro to transition between different BPM values and different genres. It's a pretty unorthodox way to do this but it works on some tracks.

Finally, some dope musically pleasant transition, heck yeah

[@nerfherder33]

Absolutely fantastic second mix there! Thanx for this man

[@ericcox4448]

Thanks for the info. Love the channel

[@trailrunningphil]

amazing!

[@HT2Amusic]

I got some ideas based ok the concept. Still learning all the serato and controller can do. Haven't gotten into the manual loops yet, so thanks mate.

[@D0CT0RS0UL]

Very well explained !

[@Crossfader]

Thanks! Glad it made sense.

[@mgtow-balance3409]

hey i've been doing this trick ever since i had my numark dual cd player. although of course there wasn't a way to change pitch that much, but the concept was the same. i also used loops with two beats in other instances. the examples in this video can also be tested out using two beat loops. see which way sounds better on which tracks

[@HTMLETONEKOD]

I think that just by having a loop and changing the bpm you can have the same effect, but then again, it squashes the sound, so this one definitely is a worthy trick

[@tonyhaisne988]

Nice man ty

[@itamarbiton8888]

NICE !

[@mikeoxlongdnb]

Amazing!

[@Crossfader]

We’re glad you think so!!

[@dannyrash1387]

Tips like this are exactly what I'm looking for. I mainly DJ high school dances :D

[@Crossfader]

Glad to hear it. We have more coming every two weeks for the foreseeable future.

[@mgtow-balance3409]

if you do a lot of high school dances then you should look at a lot of these performance videos. these guys put on a show with their skills. the reason i say this of course is playing for that age group they like that hype stuff i'm sure there's a lot of tips 'n' tricks you can get from these videos

[@dannyrash1387]

MGTOWInBetweener true, thanks!

[@dannyrash1387]

Crossfader is there something I have to do to activate using the jog wheels to decrease or increase the loop? It doesn’t want to do it on my SR

[@mgtow-balance3409]

"Crossfader -- 1 month ago In this video we use the manual out adjust button for loops. After a loop has been set you can press the out adjust loop button then move the jog wheel to make the loop tighter. This in turn makes the Bpm change without moving the tempo adjust."

[@moses418]

Very helpful

[@Crossfader]

We’re glad you think so!

[@markvaneijk8035]

I really like the second example!

[@Crossfader]

We’re glad to hear it! Have fun experimenting with the technique.

[@markvaneijk8035]

Thanks guys! Keep the good content coming!

Cool

[@flexlabz]

Do you know if there’s a way to manually tighten loops with the jog wheel on a rane one? Or is there just a plus and minus buttons that dictate that

[@rajd33p42]

Hey Can that Manual tightening of a loop can be done on DDJ SB3?? Because it doesn't have dedicated buttons for Manual looping.... But it has Auto Loop and Loop ×÷ buttons.... So can it be remapped??? Because I want that James Hype style Loop Transition....😉😉 The way he Tightens the loop is just awesome 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bboymac84]

Key matching works well too

[@emcee19.05]

How would that be done?

[@bboymac84]

Mihai B look at the key of your track and match them with anothee song of a different bpm and see what happens

[@rjbirdy2k]

Can you do this with ddj 1000 with recordbox?

[@manasnair8063]

Is it possible to do the same with ddj rb?

[@jasonhaskin4579]

Great video guys !!!! I’m using the Pioneer DDJ RB. Is there a option where I can not make cue points by accidentally pressing a open hot cue button? Hopefully I’m saying it right ? Sometimes I’m pressing a hot cue button and I accidentally push the wrong one making another hot cue point. Any way to turn that feature off like in Serato. Thx so much guys

[@Crossfader]

Hey, yeah it makes sense what you’re saying but I’m afraid I’m not aware of such a feature. I get the pads are quite close together, it’s easy to accidentally push one then have to delete it again.

[@jasonhaskin4579]

No problem! Thx guys

[@DJMarv69]

Go into preferences and deactive hot cues. With hot cues deactivated you can still add new cues using the mouse but not with the performance pad. I used this method but I've reverted back to default I try to use up all the empty cue buttons now when prepping tracks

[@Crossfader]

Thanks for the tip! Something I didn’t actually know myself but great to be aware of!

[@jasonhaskin4579]

Thanks!!!! but I still don't see deactive hot cues under preferences.. ? thanks bro

[@DjMarkvix]

Se puede hacer esto con rekordbox??? Por que cuando giro el jog para acortar el loop no reduce él bpm?

[@svucoproducciones2037]

Antes de girar el jog tienes q darle al botoón OUT del Loop ;)

[@jannikwagner1124]

Hey, does that also work with cdj's in hid mode ?

[@Crossfader]

Yeah should do!

[@DjMarkvix]

Crossfader How do I configure the jog??? And for not modificater the picht or BPM of the track??

[@Crossfader]

I’m not too sure I know what you mean? What would you like to do with the jog wheel? Are you using cdjs or a controller?

[@DjMarkvix]

Crossfader By moving the jog down from 125 bpm to 100 bpm but the % 0,0 not change???? I use controller

[@Crossfader]

In this video we use the manual out adjust button for loops. After a loop has been set you can press the out adjust loop button then move the jog wheel to make the loop tighter. This in turn makes the Bpm change without moving the tempo adjust.

[@MassimoTurchetto]

Can i do this trick whit the ddj-rb?

[@Crossfader]

Unfortunately the DDJ rb doesn’t have manual loop adjust options. There may be a keyboard shortcut you can use or set up instead but it’s definitely easier to achieve on the controllers above the rb like the RR etc.

[@reysoto1617]

crack!

[@BillyNoodles]

wewlad

[@doctormasterdevil]

thank you my nigga

[@masioangelolouw3366]

does any one know how to do this with traktor??

[@jackfruit4u578]

the exact same way, but traktor might not tell you the new bpm. just gotta practice with it and get to know the tracks well

[@ivorpawiro825]

Not hating but last transition didn't make sense or wasn't good

[@Crossfader]

Sorry you feel that way. This video is just to spark ideas for other DJs. The main point we wanted to get across is the Bpm read out changes as you edit a loop. Hopefully you can take the idea and find better ways to use in your sets! 👌🏼
