Listen up DJs – we’re back with more essential tips and tricks to help you tighten up your mixes and add some exciting switch-ups to your track selections. In this video, DJ Ravine and our DJ Module Leader, Ben Bristow, teamed up to share some of their favourite techniques for mixing with different genres and BPMs. These include everything from incorporating isolated vocals into stylish scratch patterns to using the CDJ’s brake speed to create a classic turntable-style record stop as well as utilising the number of CDJ effects you have at your disposal such as echo, reverb, time stretching and more.
If you’d like to get your mixing skills up to scratch, we can help. We can teach you to DJ in our state-of-the-art Pioneer DJ sponsored studios and then some! Without further ado jump into our DJ tips roundup video below.
