►SCRIPT
Technique #1 - Backspin
Using Backspins is an effective way to bring energy to ones set because it hypes up the entrance of the next song.
But the thing is, it can sound pretty bad if not done correctly, so the secret to use Backspins effectively when you’re mixing 2 songs together, is to first activate an echo effect on the track you’ll be backspinning from, then to slightly lower the volume of the track as you near the transition point, then to Backspin the track 2 to 4 beat before the next song reaches its intro.
Technique #2 - Pad FX
So these are my Pad FX settings, and I tend to play around with these effects when I want to spice up a track. So I suggest to copy these settings and to play around with them to do cool Pad FX combos.
Now let’s move on to Technique #3 which is Scratch/Cue Dropping
So as you just saw there this way to transition bypasses mixing, because all you’re doing is just echoing out the previous track away and scratching/cueing the next song in.
Now I personally like to use a 1/2 Echo effect on the previous song right before I scratch/cue drop
Anyway, let’s now move on to Technique #4 which is Delay Filter Accenting
Now, there’s only so much you can do during an EDM Build up, so what most Pro DJ’s do, is that they tend to use the Filter knob and Delay effect to hype up their build up.
So their strategy is to simply turn their Filter Knob clockwise during the build up, and counter clockwise when the build reaches its climax. All while the Delay effect is active and set to either 1/4 or 1/2.
So for this example, we’ll activate our Delay effect, and start turning our Filter knob at Cue Point A, then we’ll bring the Filter knob back to the 12 o’clock position and deactivate our Echo effect at Cue Point B
So that’s the most basic way to use that Delay Filter combo, but if you wanna take it even further, try playing around with the volume fader of the track, as well as the Filter knob as you reach the song’s climax.
Now let’s take this Build Up accenting to another level by using Technique #5 which is Noise CFX Accenting
So what I just used their in place of a Filter and Dub Echo FX is a Noise CFX, and as its names implies, this knob creates White Noise. Along with that, I combined the Noise CFX, with an Echo Effect as well as a Pad FX Trans effect to get that stuttery sound effect.
So all you have to do to do this trick is to first activate an echo effect when you reach the current song’s build up section, then to slowly turn the Noise CFX knob clockwise, then as you near the track’s climax, at the same time, crank the Noise CFX knob clockwise and counter clockwise, and activate a Pad FX trans effect. And when you finally reach the current song’s drop, remember to bring that Noise CFX knob back to the 12 o’clock position and to deactivate the echo effect

[@shullln]

You know, I've been listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff's live sets during the pandemic. And the more I listen to him, the more I notice it's more about the music and less about "DJ tricks". I get that everyone has their own style, and folks like the DJ's mentioned at the start of the video cater to a different crowd that DJ JJ, but what Jeff does best is track selection and energy flow. If you nail that, then the "tricks" become less important.

[@Marlonhernandez19828]

Jazzy Jeff’s transitions are not that great. He just echoes out and drops it. Not smooth. He’s too hyped up. There’s a lot of djs better than him. I fall asleep listening to his sets.

[@slickerthanoil5031]

@@Marlonhernandez19828 You gotta actually go see him live in person. What he does on KZbin or IG live isn’t a real showcase of his skills. He’s just playing music. He really doesn’t have anything to prove at this point

As an alternative to slipmode could you not just load the same track into the 2nd deck and then use that for any scratching, beat juggling, looping vocals etc ( without affecting the positioning of the track playing). In the same way that you’d juggle or play around with 2 vinyls of the same track.

Will all of these moves that you are showing work with the ddj 1000SRT with the SP2? Looks like you are using Rekordbox.

Especially using them with the XP2. A copy of Rekordbox comes with the SP2, but I am thinking about getting the ddj 1000SRT because I have Serato. The controllers that use both are more than I can afford for the pro models. I see videos on comparing Serato and Rekordbox. What do you suggest?
