How To Mix: How To Talk Like A DJ

(POOR AUDIO QUALITY: some parts are inaudible because of the background music) Jonathan: Alright trick one because this is a separate video, what is your name? Chris: Chris. Jonathan: Chris, where are you from Chris? Chris: Sydney(ph) Jonathan: What is your YouTube username? Chris: Chris2978. Jonathan: And we go some funky house going down there. Chris: Yes,. Jonathan: It is a good soulful vibe which is what we want. What you carry on? Chris: I do not remember. Jonathan: What we will do is I am going to talk you through what this guy is doing okay so you carry on. Chris: I going to hold on this one in here, waiting for a break as I like to put the vocals over. (Demo) Jonathan: What is the name of this background playing. Chris: Group hug. Jonathan: Group hug, nice a Bryan Jones. I am going to get this, this is nice. Chris: One of my favorites. Jonathan: Oh yes, better than Chicago. Chris: There is no record. Jonathan: I got this one. Is this quite older than you? Chris: What is that? Jonathan: Is this quite old or? Chris: It is really new, couple of years I think. I wish I was (inaudible) I was just to begin the song. (Demo) Jonathan: Basically, what is going on here the next tract is an actual acapella so the whole idea here is get the acapella in not over the vocals. Chris: I lost the acapella. (Demo) Chris: I have that rookie right there. Jonathan: Yes. I thought I had it for a second I did not want to blend out. it does not matter I mean the main thing there, it may have gone off beat slightly but it was in time, it was in key and the bass line from this really worked well when it. Chris: Came in right a little bit. Jonathan: That was good, very good. Chris: I was afraid of the vocal, the vocal break in on this one I was going to let it go and I am just going to get off, I was going to move. (Demo) Jonathan: What he is doing now is just finding the actual next track. So is that an MP3. Chris: This is the MP3 CD, this one is not. Jonathan: Okay, with the MP3 CD you can actually see the name of the tracks coming up. Chris: You come up over the song and then lay into it, right into the beat. So I am at 135 and 126 I need to get down on 126. Hopefully I got a right key that I am in. Jonathan: Now, to me even though the beat matching is off a little bit it is a very good mix because he is well constructed. That is why a lot of people have got to understand even if it is showing a little bit off beat. If you can get tracks that work really well together and you get the construction of the next spot on, it does not matter so much about the actual beat mixing because the continuity of the music will. Chris: Take over, right. Jonathan: That is it, it will take over yes. That is good alright it is a nice one. Thank you very much.
