mattus123 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 So when i first started DJing, i noticed the reverse button but couldnt seem to find any use for it.i figured i'd probably work out what i could use it for the better i got at DJing. Ive tried mixing a song, by bringing in track B in reverse, and it sound TERRIBLE.I gave it a google and apparently Denon's have the same feature, but after the reverse, it carries on playin with the song as if it hadn't been reversed, which would be handy for 'beeping' out swear words or something. The reverse function in the CDJ actually reverses the song tohu so it cant even be used to beep out swear words or anything.so my question to you guys is, what the hell do you need to use the reverse button for?

CapFive Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 yeah usually the way it goes is you have a small 4 beat break and reverse it then drop the second song, but the second needs to be sort of similar and have a good drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Go to the how to DJ part 2 with Phil k (stickied in this section of the forum) and in one of his vids he shows one way you can utilize it. Can't remember exactly Which vid But watch them and you will see one way it can be used. Have a feeling it's one of the first 4 or 5 of his vids.

Jaz Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 If a song ends with vocals only reverse them while your bringing in the next track...can sound cool sometimes, other then that I never touch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
