Jaz Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Anyone got some decent genre transitions for this?house is generally around 128bpm, alot of my dubstep around 140-145.... both sound shit when sped up or slowed down to much...have watched an ellaskin video but it didnt really help...

eggssell Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 which way are you going?if dubstep to electro, let it play out to the end of a track (i.e. start from the middle maybe if you dont want whole song) and as it sounds like its ending let it echo out if it doesnt already have an outro that break downs to just soft percussion. then pop the electro on.if electro to dubstep, get it so you playing the Wonk Electro which in itself already has a lot of dirty ass messed up bass. then on one of the builds make it pause to silence for 4 beats (even better if its one that naturally has a pause before the drop) then drop a dubstep track at one of its wonky bits.this is all in my head and no idea if it will work so wait for jonny to hop on who is across both genres. ha h ah a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 usually going electro to dubstep but i go back to electro eventually cheers man, will give them both a go and see how i dobut yeh going from dubstep to electro i can do (could do with some improvement though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Im working on this at the moment and the best way Ive found to do it is to loop the last 2 bars or so before the drop, then fiddle around with the loop edit a bit to make it shorter as well as the filter then slam the crossfader to the next track. Might go record a short electro/dubstep mix now actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ive got a theory but i think i need a 3rd deck to do itwatched laidback luke do it but it wasnt transitioned to dubstephe had a wicked beet playing on deck 1(muted), had the current song playing threw the speakers on deck 2, and had the transition song cued on deck 3 (dubstep in our case)he brang in deck 1 while looping a small vocal from deck 2 (i think the word was "breaker" out of "heartbreaker") and he dopped the pitch control to +16 and slowly increased the pitch and tempo of the vocal loop while leaving deck 1 standard and kept increasing the vocal octave and speed while useing a high pass filter on deck 1 then after an imense build he dropped deck 3 in and cut 1 & 2it sounded soooooo boss but will take alot of practice LOLthoughts?

eggssell Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 you dont need a 3rd deck (albeit that adds even more flavour flav). but isnt that just what both i and street cleaner said.mine was pick a track which has an awesome build (okay i didnt say to pitch up while its building but yeah that would also work) then just before drop a tad of silence, then bang drop your dubstep. but it will have to be a drop part of a dubstep trackor street cleaners suggestions of using a loop and fiddle it to in essence make a build, and then as per above.

Jaz Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 yeh true, pretty similar i guesswill try soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 ok, this was only a first take and was all improvised then so the beatmatching isnt great, but hopefully you can get some ideas.Rough Dubstep/Electro by Analogmarinade on MixcloudThe transition I was talking about is at around 5:35, though as there the same song just different remixes its abit easier. The other transitiions are at 1:15, 3:00, 7:00 and 9:59 (this one I just put the tempo range to wide and brang it down pretty much all the way then slammed the crossfader over) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dim Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Backspin/Echo + Jesus pose.BOOM.hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahproper fuckin old skool star! +repotha alternatives (and i didnt listen to the otha examples yet):use an accapella over the first tune, let it play on its own in between and brign in the second tune. with keylock on (cd/digital only) no one will notice the change in tempo as you rematch the accapella to the new tune.CD/digital only: loop the end of the track, slowly reduce the size of the loop manually from the out point, as it gets mad bz start fuckin with the pitch fader to generate a new melody (max, min and zero point are about a semitone apart on cdjs). bring in the next track but maintain the melody you're playing with the pitch fader over the new tracks intro beats, cut your melody when the new tune drops.cd/digital only: loop the end of the track (preferably just beats, no melody) as a 4 beat loop, increase the pitch to whatever the next tune requires and mix it in like that, live bands fuck with tempo like this all the time, djs are often scared to try but it can work, depends heavily on how fast you are and which tunes of course.use a brake/wind down end to the dubstep, get everyones attention as they wonder if the night is over or the dex are broke: then drop new tune from a recognisable break/drop and give everyone the pundaddy 4 finger pose (wolf mask optional).
