Using Acapella Edits to Enhance Your DJ Sets, Part 1

DJcityTV and Beat Refinery have launched "Turntable Techniques," a monthly series to help DJs enhance their sets and overall knowledge of the art form. For the first video, DMC champion As-One discusses how to mix with "acapella in" edits. The tutorial includes two examples: one with a "scratch out" and another with cue point manipulation.

[@djquietstorm8014]

where can i get some acapellas from.... hip hop, pop pop hip hop, pretty much any of todays music acapellas. any websites that you can suggest???

[@djayms8101]

+Ryan Humphreys i usually get mine from a record pool, such as djcity, mmp record pool, etc..but you can find a lot on youtube but deff have to watch out for copy rights but networking with others dis is usually the best way to go

[@system331]

I cant find the acap for be right there or deeper love. Those would work well with my current crate

[@AveMcree]

as one! my homie we made it

[@artitsriboonruang8032]

+Ave Mcree HAHAHA, we outchea!

[@NubaiSoundsystem]

[@bboymac84]

Wow I will def try this with my DJ city intro's. Looks like fun!

[@ShotYoNer]

Ty! where I can find Acapella songs?

[@sahilramchandani2503]

What pools do people get acapella intro edits from? DJcity any plans to start adding those?!

[@makeitnasty4046]

+Sahil Ramchandani good question...

[@tommyboombotz]

+Sahil Ramchandani Theres alot of different resources for acapellas. Check online, some sites require uploads or payment though.

[@Frankenmuppet]

Sahil Ramchandani Late to the party, but I have found www.acapellas4u.co.uk is an amazing resource for finding acapellas. They limit the number of downloads per month (and quality can be hit and miss), but a few dummy email addresses can work around that :)

[@drunk3nmaster]

Too much bro, awesome tip!! Shot Az One!!

[@artitsriboonruang8032]

+Dj CLIKZ' BRAAAP!

[@alroccbeatz788]

Dope tutorial bro!...Makes everything much simpler to understand 💯

[@joaonazz]

[@ezequielcastellanos856]

[@djsvnstarr2473]

Niiiice my man..... Good seeing you at the Redbull comp. in philly.....

[@buddafingaz7516]

Hey man, great video bro, definitely, need some work on my learning skills, any advice? I'm a new DJ, or up-coming DJ, and I'm currently in school for music production, but music is my life, all day, everyday, looking for some help learning, scratching, and transitioning.... thanks man, respect.... :)

[@djgforce]

Thank you for that video lots of good ideas.

[@artitsriboonruang8032]

+djgforce Thanks for watching!

[@terpkore3798]

I actually didn't like the executions but I can think of potential for this shit :D

[@djshaunvt]

I have always wondered if the BPM indicators should vary like that when using Serato and turntables.. I guess my decks are fine :P

[@buddafingaz7516]

I was a trying like hell to follow you, to learn, and utilize these skills your showing, but, it was a little to fast for me to understand, any way you could give me some tips on transitioning better, from song to song, and, how did you get that dope beat matched up with the Far East movement like a g6 track? Cause that was sick, and I'd love to learn these skills my friend. I also currently just bought turntables, and I'm waiting on my Stanton mixer, but, for now, I have the Mixtrack Platinum, but tables are calling me no matter what...lol haha, if you ever get a chance to show me your skills, and maybe help a brotha out, that would be mad cool man, thanks, great video bro... Respect. :)

Your dancing expressions in the end are highly infectious. I feel with your scratching techniques, you will make any song sound extra ordinary. Thanks for filtering down while you talk and was able to follow you more easily this time. Thanks for sharing the techniques.
