How to Make a DJ Intro Edit With Ableton Live

[@elvismelendez7352]

OMG this is amazing my brother. Although this is a few years old, it is the foundation to so many other areas to explore in Ableton. Thank you so much for your dedication and knowledge!

[@DJJPlus4]

Would appreciate a tutorial on how to use Ableton or any DAW software to fix an error on a mixtape. Tired of starting over when I make 1 or 2 small errors in my mix. Perhaps you can add that to your list of future tutorials. Otherwise, great job!

[@calcuprocessingcomputersci7119]

using a method similar to that last method, once you get the bpm right, you can take the intro vocals and play them inverted over the full track for just the intro which should take out the vocals for that part, giving you an instrumental intro

Very nicely done tutorial. Quick, clear, to the point.

[@ZeroToVJ]

Thanks for watching =)

[@DJmicaiah]

it would be nice to see how to mix songs so they have the same loudness.

I know you said that the acapella was the trickiest of the intros but honestly instead of doing that cut of that last section where it didn't sound natural you could've just did a nifty little vocal reverse, or chopped it up and sliced it so it made a cool sound, or just use the ending of the instrumental with the 2 claps, just sounded kinda awkward with the weird space there where there was no sound.

[@djtechtools]

Shawn Mitchell Good point, definitely a useful tip that i'll try to implement - Ryan

[@HarmonicaMustang]

Where do you get your acapella's from? Is there a site or do you make them yourselves via equalization and editing or do you go to the studio and buy a copy of the original vocal recording?

Very good tutorial for the newbies. Great work TechTools! - Direct Drive Digital

[@ZeroToVJ]

Hey glad you like the tutorial! Let me know what else you'd like to see =)

[@DJmicaiah]

this is a VERY important tutorial, even though I use Logic Pro X. Thank you for this!

[@ZeroToVJ]

Hey thanks for your comment, glad you like it =) You're right, this is really possible in any DAW, including Logic.

[@ryanleeg8521]

@Navasker there's a few ways to do it search KZbin for some tutorials

[@Kaitain]

Great stuff!

[@RuffRidersEvo]

i edited a couple of tracks but when it gets to the actual song the waveforms become smaller in serato and then it kinda loses the heavy bass does anyone know what i'm talking about?

[@sethgz420]

where can i download this project file???

[@DJNESSY.]

Can you take talking and background noise out of a track like sum 1 talking over a track ?

[@arauz]

Thank you! :D

[@gimmemyish]

This tutorial is fuckin' awesome !!! Definitely using this knowledge. Good looking out, man.

[@hillaryshingie]

dope !!!!!

[@tommyfoose9778]

Pretty cool man. I didn't think it would be this easy. Fuckin A.

[@DJJPlus4]

Top Notch Tutorial!!

[@ZeroToVJ]

Thanks for the comment =) What else would you like to see?

[@FreddyLomiamidj]

I wish they were all this easy but you skipped a step explaining Warp markers which is the most important part. Not all tracks you will find the accapella and instrumental. ;-(

[@BeatsBeneath]

As if DJing wasn't easy enough already these days.... What happened to learning to scratch or something to mix in difficult songs... Not that this is even a difficult song to mix in the first place!

[@ZeroToVJ]

Hey djdooban, this tutorial was meant to be an simple intro to get people familiar with Ableton. Of course you could mix into the original track or make use of the loops in DJ software, this is just another aspect of DJing that people can explore if they choose to.

[@BeatsBeneath]

Ryan Dejaegher Nah it's cool man, I don't have a problem with the tute and I can understand why you thought that! I do sort of have a problem with all these "DJ edits" that pop up on Soundcloud where a lazy DJ extends the intro and outro and peddles it as if they've done something.

[@ZeroToVJ]

djdooban I see what you mean and I agree it can leave people with a bad taste. In that case it really comes down to the person and being honest about the work. For example, It would be crazy of me to claim this edit as an original work or that it sounds superior to the original track. The goal isn't to make a superior track, it's to make the track more DJ friendly.

[@Speakerheadbeats]

Billie Jean Drums, O.D.B. I got your money. great song. Wu! If you a Dj and you need to watch this video, quit! Unless you're 12 years old.

[@Speakerheadbeats]

I'm saying quit. While you're still ahead.. Thousands of well studied masters out there in the world, why we need one more newcomer who doesn't know how to make a loop? so we can monetize ads on youtube? But honestly, I don't think anybody should quit anything. Drive it all everywhere it goes. Smoke em if you got em.

[@ZeroToVJ]

***** Speakerheadbeats There's a lot of different ways to get exposed to DJing and everyone's experience is going to be different. That's the great thing about learning to DJ now, it's far more accessible. It's also now more than easier for anyone to share their experience and knowledge with others. Anytime you have the opportunity, pay it forward, we can all learn from each other.

[@Speakerheadbeats]

Yea I'm just a dick sometimes... Only trying to be funny, doesn't usually work out that way. Speak Your Head!

[@DjKennyisglobal]

To much work bruh , If this would been re worked in fl studios , track would been finish ijs i can make 20 or more intros a day same concept but different along with re mastering for those lo bias tracks!
