Many people have commented on recent mixes I have uploaded asking why am I looping the incoming track and in short I do this for a few reasons.
1. It gives me time to beat match and get the track ready
2, it also means I can tease in the track for an extended period of time and
3: it also means I gain more control of my mixing and as long as I remember to release the loop at the right time I find it’s a really fun way to be creative with the way you play.
So 100% this video is a must watch for all DJs that want more to do when they play but more than that, it’s for people that like the idea of gaining more control of their mixing, as trust me, looping in is really cool and the more control you have over your transitions the more your confidence will shine through when you play.

Echo + Low Filter on both tracks on the bridge fade out the main tune while bringing up the filter and echo on the new track :)

I'm a slower house dj, and I do this all the time, layering tracks to add more and then bringing in the next song

[@kevinpasco]

Andrew, just wanted to let you know I bought your course a few weeks ago and am already doing 1hr+ mixes! I'm getting the transitions right about 2/3rds of the time so obviously not perfect but so much better than I thought I'd be doing so soon. Thanks for doing such a good job on the content in the course!

[@consciousmeandu]

10:43 wow! thank you!

[@guido69x]

I like to use Loop In and Out so people get familiarized with the incomming track and to make more progressive and longer mixs. Sometimes doing some sort of Callback like comedians do in stand up comedy and make some sort of dejavu moment on the dance floor.

[@odinewb]

Dude I absolutely love your interest in a huge variety of genres. And it's not a "I have to listen to everything to be good at my job. " It's a legitimate enjoyment and passion for every genre you play. Pretty rare I hear dj's so willing to just drop some drum and bass that aren't heavily imbedded in the scene. Thanks for dropping that knowledge as usual. Always find myself excited when I see you've uploaded a new video, even if I already have a pretty good understanding of the subject. Keep being you.

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

Thanks mate I really appreciate this and super glad you noticed :)

[@justinrabaut]

Please make the chopping video ! I would love that

[@JeremyDahl]

I use beatjump to do this same thing, without looping. So looping is a great way to achieve the the same long blend mashup style of transitioning without beatjump

[@AuSCastDJ]

Yes we would love a video on chopping. And i use looping almost in every song i mix, it gives u more power and u can control the time so u never slip a beat. Great video as always.

[@alexanderalvarado5879]

You are literally such a joy to watch!!

[@doctoxic3061]

Thanks for this video Andrew!!! This is a great addition to the awesome info in your course! Looping in is so key, thanks for your wisdom as always. Love it mate, nothing like connecting with the music. Big love. The course is a Game. Changer. thankful for you brotha.

[@mjdub]

I like doing this with house tracks that have a vocal that starts too soon for my liking - it lets me make a longer, more subtle transition without rushing to get the old song out before the vocal hits. You can also combine incoming and outgoing loops. Loop the incoming one until there’s a break in the vocal of the outgoing track. Then loop that one and release the loop on incoming so it continues

[@deego68darren64]

7.17 connecting with music, love it bro 👍

[@MattAtherden]

Someone’s a big Metrik fan! Helpful stuff brother, thank you 🙏

[@as680783]

I agree, looping is a great way to introduce tracks. I set several cue-points per track and always use one of them to mix in or out. I hardly ever use the play/pause button unless I want to stutter or brake. Excellent video!

[@BenSinghGSLL]

Yes please to the chopping video man! Sounded so sick in your examples!

[@mikehawk980]

Thx, thats really helpful, also thumbs up for that dnb !

[@renedjenkins]

This is a great technique especially for House/Techno/Trance DJs. But the key is that whole release part ;). You can't get distracted which is easy to do during a mix, where your busy with get the levels and EQs right. What I mostly like is when the incoming track surprises the listener when a phrase takes over the outgoing track. This also allows you to drop in tracks with melodies or vocals only without beats. Other techniques you drop in buildup first or the outro of the incoming song and then mix in the beginning.

[@Leeww642]

Hello Andrew👋👋 Can u make epizode with some Base House looping transitions?

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

I can try

Another brill vid 👍

[@existinginthegray]

I naturally did this and still do when on my controller but my instructor found this odd and discouraged me from doing it, which I do when preparing for a club gig on a CDJ. In short, do you!

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

I love doing it and personally found when doing this live people always responded really well. However make sure you couple it with high pass filter otherwise it can a little intense.

[@existinginthegray]

@@ClubReadyDJSchool On the CDJ, if you press the 4 beat loop button once you load a song (before pressing play) will it set at the first four beats of the song? Also, can you press the 4 beat loop button to end the loop or you must press the loop exit button?

I did more research on the Club Mixer vs the 1000SRT. Seems Pioneer didn’t use an actual EQ Isolator on the SRT like the DJM series. It’s a bit of a draw back but it works ok. I’d rather have the full EQ Isolation. Hopefully the DDJ XDJ XZ is ironed out when it’s time to upgrade.

[@adammander7108]

Hi I have the XDJ XZ and it does have full eq isolation you have to do it in reckordbox software

[@tobydulanski9480]

@@adammander7108 I have no idea. If anything look on the Pioneer DJ website or in your PDF manual. The EQ Isolation function is a hardware setting ( mechanical switch ) on the Pioneer DJ DJM Club Gear series mixers like what Andrew uses.

hey coach well now that your button is going I guess you have an excuse to go ahead and buy a few cdj3000's and sell those ones to some locals for a fair price eh?

[@claudegray1681]

Hey mate just in case you come across this comment, I'm having trouble mixing songs that are drastically different in bpm. I know they'll work well together but I was wondering if you had any tips for that sort of shift. Hope you can let me know man much love.

[@emillindberg8256]

Claude Gray what's the bpm difference?

[@KnightmareOX]

If both songs have a break to mix into that can sometimes work. Or find a premade bpm transition track. Record pools usually have them

[@ClubReadyDJSchool]

100% this video is on my to do but there are already a few in queue.

[@matthewjswider]

You can loop the incoming track and use sync to mix the two and then speed up or slow to the second tracks original bpm. Try not to drag this out too long or with a mix that’s too busy or it will sound trashy and muddy. You can use your eq’s to mitigate this but only to an extent, and you only have one hand to work with since you’re adjusting bpm simultaneously. Good luck.
