phasing

[dJ sHoE]

A lot of people buy doubles of their records, not only might this help for phasing but for beat juggling its a must too.

Another thing, besides him having 2 copies of everything.
He always seems to be able to mix a songs intrumental from another song and then bring in the song whos instrumental is playing....
didnt understand that...here

Track A is playing....
Mixes in Track B's Instrumental...
Track B starts..

So, does that mean he has 3 turntables.
He plays Track A, puts Track B's intrumental on, then brings out ANOTHER copy of Track B and switches it over from the intrumental of Track B to the actual Track B.


Hope that made sense.

[dJ sHoE]

He does exactly what you said. He plays track A, mixes it into track B's instrumental which is found on many records, and then takes another copy of that track B (which is a duplicate of that previous record) and replaces the record on deck 1 which was previously track A, and then mixes the real track B with the instrumentl of track B.


ok

say you have track A on deck one, and track B(instrumental) on deck two. He mixes track B(instrumental) on deck to with track A on deck one. He lets track B(instrumental) play whle he switches the records on deck one so he has two of the same records on both deck one and two. Then he mixes track B (with words) with track B(instrumental) and then lets track B(with words) play.

H2O, the main reason in hip hop that it's done like that is because there's often no extended intro, as you may know. That way, you can lay down the background, and then cut in the vocals with a scratch, etc or with 4 intro beats without it sounding all f***ed up.

[dj /-/2o]

HAHA! Ya i know exactly what you mean with the intro's and outros. It's a pain in the arse. So i may start buying 2 copies of some stuff to mess around with.

sHoe...i never thought of replaceing track A with the actual track B...lol...so he does only have 2 decks...

Wow, and here i was working with 2 bars trying to mix in the next song with the artist talking...sounded horrible.
Does everyone mix hip hop like this?..or just a few.

[dj /-/2o]

OR a new solution...

Play Track A..
Mix in track B's intrumental...
replace Track A with Track B and play Track B's accapella over the instrumental which is already playing to allow you to scratch..if you wanted to scratch..

right?

[oddjob]

Yeah, that works quite well too. Or, alternatively, like with other shades of music, throw down a separate accapella over the instrumental from a track. Or multiple accapellas in series if you want. You then could easily go from just accapella for a few bars to the next instrumental of yet another song, if you beat match it quickly.

Then comes the creativity.....

Geesh..2 copies of every record here i come..lol...
