[@offclouds4041]

Being a DJ has made me a better producer & being a producer has made me a better DJ

[@ProfessorSaibertin]

The circle of life.

[@michaelphase]

Awesome video bro! Definitely something I'd like to try in my stuff.

[@JAYJUNO_ofc]

Yes! Pre drops and fake outs can be annoying sometimes for sure while mixing 🫠🫠 Really good video once again 🌐🌐🌐

[@yerahmlee730]

The subtle humor in this video is too good

[@cekirdekci32]

Thanks!

[@eli-shulga]

13:40 "Probably end up trashing" ???? Is BRUTAL! Do not dare, (please). Im getting it BP if you get it out

[@6Litz_]

Track at end is dope!

[@nextgenph2595]

I liked that song on the foreshadowing part.

[@ClectaSkiMusic]

10:40 Kream Remix... Love those guys work.

[@iamharbo]

As a dj i personally like songs with a regular drop that way if I want too I can create a predrop live

[@cekirdekci32]

Soo many great tips, omg thank you so much for these gold tips master Zen world. Every battle is won before it's fought is one of my fav quotes

[@cekirdekci32]

how good this track is back to this video to get some help for my build up today, realizing one more time how much this channel helps and how much I like listening to Zen's music. Best mentor of 2023 is Zen World for me again. same as 2022 same as 2021.

[@luisesquer676]

The track is fucking sick

[@krzakku8878]

Amazing video

[@JONQPiD]

11:01 … I ONLY play pre-drops in my set. Back to back to back. 😎

[@julianmoncada6764]

great video! nice ferrari btw

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Nice video!! Sick song in the end mate! :) For the dj'ing part and predrop...Mix out faster a few songs in a row / loop sections before the drop to mix into to and / or prep your set

[@don_huzan]

omg I’m so excite yay

[@Tonyy2Nite]

Master Zen your the Man 👊🏼

[@floral7444]

Thanks for the video 🎉

[@Semperf11]

Nice video man

[@djjameshayes9766]

That track that u said u might bin sounds 🔥 if it was a little faster. Would love to see your vocal writing process

[@peltekovski]

5:30 messed up while editing?

[@ZenWorld]

Yes

[@peltekovski]

@@ZenWorld The video is great anyways so no one would mind.

[@ZenWorld]

Thanks bro just a skip I can't believe I missed that I hitbthebshrotcut key for adding a title

[@brandonamaro2491]

Thanks dude!!! I kinda knew how to use foreshadowing works but I didn’t know it had a name 🤓 always learn on your channel

[@taurus87]

Thank you my professor😊🎉❤

[@jerem2353]

Nice one, really useful ma g (4:32 sounds to weak for our track imo but defo works for some other tracks out there)

[@pransukhmusic]

always helpful. ty

[@avilo1783]

This track is sick - you should drop this

[@JonJon-bx1ww]

Great vid as always Zen! Lawdy love your vids. But I just wanted to know: How are you enjoying those headphones? Thinking of getting them.

[@ZenWorld]

Love them make stuff sound clear and not good... Which is good for the mixing and tracking side of stuff

[@nextgenph2595]

13:47 - 14:30 is B I T C H I N B R O. I'm gonna work on something similar with a trance track. I love that technique. DOPE AF. I've been in the rave scene since 96, and I'm telling you thats badass. I keep replaying this so I can assemble something similar in my own tracks. Much love (no homo) lol.

[@theduck603]

It's 2023 my guy, you don't need to say no homo

[@marvomusic]

8:29 VOY!

[@Soulazy]

Thanks Zen.. super useful this one.. as a DJ, I personally don't really look at pre-drops as a separate factor when choosing the next song to play but mixing out must start at the pre-drop to maintain phrasing so it can get tricky if we're not paying attention.. Luckily most DJ gear allows you to put a colored cue point to remind you where to mix out..

[@rawbinmo]

tensionnnn

[@valiantlydefault]

bit of a editing misstake going on at 5:33 no?? :D

[@ZenWorld]

Yes haha

[@ZenWorld]

I thought I skimmed all of the video

[@jayR0191]

Can we get a break down of that project file ?

[@cekirdekci32]

I also would love to see a video on that.

[@XLAMOORX]

I miss the low end but i think i miss zen world more

[@cizzzla]

Yes Zen. Appreciate this….You need some space on that hard drive lad ❤

[@rowdyrudy3761]

Alright then, keep your secrets!!

[@SaraSimmsMusic]

Love this master and his analogies! Not too much peanut butter on the bread! ;)

[@santiagoberro3073]

You should do a video about fred again, he is killing it

[@Flux_One]

Too much peanut butter? What the fuck Zen!!!!

[@Rafaritho]

holy fuck zen i’m your fan 🥺

[@luckylarsful]

If your track (13:42) drops, i'm doing whatever your Phase Plant preset is doing

[@grichu]

Don't trash the song it's dope!!!

[@Ardefisty]

Dude the synth at 14:07 sounds massive, don't trash that banger. How do you even achieve that lead? Is it FM synthesis? Fire my man 🔥

[@ZenWorld]

Saw and Sync distortion!!

[@SnaikHead]

yes am a dj and you are right, too many Predrops these days, unless it sounds phenomenal or unique, it just sounds too try hard

[@alessandrosori732]

06:10

[@iamtygar]

your track that you used to mention foreshadowing... fire. Do not trash that

[@vishpanday439]

Fr that shit was fire

[@jackskinner6117]

Although I agree with everything that zens says this song below goes against everything he says at 4:50 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aprSkHeLd9GMi9U

[@ZenWorld]

Yeah of course always the exceptions depends on the music you make.

[@wesleyolson2624]

YO you know that track is fire stop lyin 😂🤣😂

[@Rainer01]

Peanut butter without the bread low carb 😂

[@bobbylimesmusic]

Lol the always-high-guys at 124 bpm

[@Rainer01]

Ba ba ba 😂😉

[@claudecoup423]

Actually I've found you can never have too much peanut butter on the bread. I've tried, and it never happened.

[@Rainer01]

Gu gu ga ga gu gu gu bam drop 😂

[@wnrwld]

Nice vid! Obviously you're not the biggest 'Deeper purpose' fan, haha 😀

[@ZenWorld]

Oh just used for B Roll footage

[@NickyDekker89]

I dont like pre-drops most of the time. For me it kind of kills the vibe if not done exactly right at the perfect time. Especially when it's being overused it's just ugh in my opinion.

[@highhyena]

Fat no for me with pre drops/ cool downs. Takes the energy out Imo. Everything is more satisfying if it explodes after a build up

[@mixbox1578]

YES I DJ FOR LONG TIME PRE DROP FOR TO MUCH IS NOT GOOD

[@cekirdekci32]

And can you not trash the track please? maybe it sounds cheesy to your genius ears but its actually catchy. don't trash it. but lay it on me is a really really good track. playing it back to back with "can I ask you" dope tracks brother. cant wait for more releases.

[@iamweska]

there's no such thing as too much peanut butter

[@ironqueen_osrs]

There are 2 things I hate about the music of today (hard-dance); piepkicks and fake drops!
