How to use AUTO LOOP to TRANSITION and do TRICKS!
ฝัง

- Using loops to transition is a quick and effective way to get out of a song in a pinch. But it’s a pretty standard way of mixing so besides teaching you the basics on how to do this, I’ll also be teaching you how to apply slip mode, the vinyl break effect, and the loop length buttons to enhance this transition.

► SCRIPT
This transition works by looping a section in the current song, playing a beat behind it, and blending out.
Now, What makes a loop transition effective is what you loop. I personally prefer looping a vocal section in a song, or a break in a chorus.
Now, to make a loop simply press the “auto loop” button on your controller.
And to adjust a loops size/, press the 1/2x or 2x button.
As you observed, the loops I made in these songs have no clashing beats, and that is very important.
It’ll be best to loop “almost acapella like” parts in a song so that your loop will sound clean when you play the next song in.
A pro tip to make your loops sound smoother, is to apply an echo effect on them and to remove their LOW EQ as you transition out.
Speaking of transitioning, let’s finally talk about it.
The first transition involves playing the main song, then looping a section in the song, then playing the next song in, then transitioning out.
So here’s what we’re going to do on the loop. We’ll activate an echo effect, then we’ll activate slip mode *demo*, and then we’ll mess around with the loop by playing and stopping the song.
To take this even further we can also mess around with the 1/2x and 2x button and add some spin backs here and there. Just get creative and have fun

I’m a pretty good DJ who’s been a Pro for 25 years or so. I can’t thank you enough for all of the cool skills I’m learning from you as a fairly new DDJ SX 2 user. Even after all of my experience, I’m still learning from your channel and that’s awesome! Really appreciate your work.
Very good video DJ Carlo
Thanks Walker! Pretty important feature over here!
Ypu jerk!! I need to spend a chunk of my day practising this awesome transition. Like not even joking. I will be doing this.
I had plans bro!!!
Bwahahaha, I am the master of forcing people to adjust their schedules 🤣
Great teaching keep it up doctor
'Just get creative and have fun' is the phrase that I will keep in mind as soon as im starting to practice the controller
@@djcarlo Will always watch your vids bro, im about to buy myself a controller this 26! :D Here i comeee
brooooooo..... YOUU ARE KINNNNNNG 👑👑👑👑👑👑
Another awesome technique master👍👍👍
Yes master...pag aaralan ko yan😁😁😁
you never failed to surprise me idol.😭🙌🙌
That was DOPE!!
Another great video, with great content.
Love it!!!
Realy clarifies what you can do with a loop transition
What just happened?! That was awesome! Thanks for the video.
Lol exactly my thoughts XD
@Payton Nova definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D
Wow muchas gracias por la lección, esto es lo que mantiene la motivación
Cool ❤
Thank you! 😄😄😄😄
Your channel is awesome! I've just started mixing on SB3 & Serato DJ Pro & I've been putting in serious hours into practicing, your videos are very helpful. Gracias! Not many TH-cam DJs are covering Slicer Mode on SB3, now I understand it better thanks to you.
Another One sir Thank YOu.. Gagamitin ko to sa gig ko this coming friday.. salamat hehehe....
great video. Can't wait to try it out.
Great video as always! Keep it up!
Thanks Carlo big thumb up
Thanks for the slip mode was looking how to activate it 👍
I love what you do. Your are the man. I can't stop looking at your videos ♡☆☆☆☆☆.
wow that was awesome
Dude you're worth your weight in GOLD!!!
Hahaha, if only I had my weight in gold! Thanks for that Richard!
I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now. New to the game, just received my SB3 a week ago. I love your tutorial videos!!!
Really creative way to use the loop trans, enjoyed this one a lot!
WOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Thanks DJ Carlo
I like it how how you want to help us and explain the most important things so well. Thank you ;D
It would be very nice if you can do more tutorials on the DDJ 400 :)
I’ve been DJ’ing events on my college campus with a Mac for 3 years now and looking to upgrade for some the experience & your video, not only teach good techniques, but you show every angle and go into detail with every step. Very useful! Thank you so much😃
These are the transitions that are so necessary to learn. Please give some more tutorials on the DDJ-400 and rekordbox :) With this new hardware and software I feel like a beginner!
Q: why do you go straight to a big machine if you are a beginner? I too took Carlo advise and got the same machine he has on the video. I don't understand why you didn't take his advise. That small machine he works on does exactly the same job and it cost under $200 dollars.
Transition some modern Rap
@@DrBiBeatz A: Because I plan on using CDJs in the future and want to invest in something I can grow into. Plus I really like the Rekordbox DJ software. I've already gotten better just putting the time into learning it. I will say though, I do prefer the FX panel on the SB3 vs. DDJ400 but I can easily overlook that using the PAD FX buttons.
Thank You agin sir..
Great job as usual! Question: I noticed that you use Seratos echo effect a lot. Which echo do you use? what settings? Mine does not sound like that, ever. Thanks!
Sick. We need more vids like this!
Great video!! New subscriber
best tutorial yet!!!
Love all your mixes, thanks for breaking it down and helping us out! I can definitely use all these techniques.
Hey Carlo, Loving these tips and tricks videos. Also is there any chance you could do another mix/mashup or even tricks you use on the ddj-xp1?. Thanks, keep it up.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW........
This is insane...i always love the auto loop but never knew...it could be so sick as this WHEN COMBINE WITH CREATIVITY ....really really really INSANE...,wow
THANK YOU MASTER ONCE AGAIN WOW...REALLY INSANE......MANN YOU REALLY ROCK..MY INSPIRATION..
This is still such a good tutorial because you can learn like potentially at least five other direct variations from mastering this video. Keep up the good work
And again you failed to disappoint me 😜.. Great video Carlo! You are definitely one of the best! ✌️😄
This is the most recent comment I've seen, can you help me figure out why I can autoloop up to 8 but it only goes down to 1.. doesn't allow me to go any lower
@@louramon5141 maybe it's in the settings somewhere? or like a glitch or something, like im having quantize on 1 beat instead of 1/4 or 1/8 .. uhm..
Which dj equipment do you use? And how did you initiate the autoloop, via the loop pads, via the software or the two buttons where you can put it in manually, that part isnt clear to me sorry.
thanks idol 😘🙏❤
You're welcome bud! Hope you learned something from the video too!
DJ Carlo your transitions are flawless. Set the bar high so others can follow. PLUR
Como siempre muy buen vídeo, pero este tutorial, estuvo MAGISTRAL. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, recibe un saludo desde Los Ángeles, California.
Thanks!It helped me a lot.Any way I can use this on a laptop without controller?
That was a great
This is great stuff! How do you set up vinyl brakes on Traktor? I can’t seem to figure that out
Hmmm, let me try looking! Haven't fired up Traktor since the short I did
Hey DJ Carlo! Since you’re an open format DJ, you’ve probably mixed together a ton of different genres. Do you have any tips in transitioning between 80s & 90s songs (let’s say from 80 to 130 bpm) then transitioning to mainstream music? 😁
wtf wow i hope i learn that djcarlo in a simple way thanks for this video
@@djcarlo thank you so much djcarloatendido
awesome
Wow!!!
You are awesome!!!!
Awesome! Can't believe this stuff is free! by the way @DJ Carlo -- you seem to demo more with the SB3, why aren't you using the DDJ-400 as it is newer? I can't decide now, whether to get the SB3 or 400.
I think SB3 is quite easy to use and manage for beginner DJ
I have spent 3-5 days and I nearly get used to most of the functions on it.
I really recommend SB3 if you are a beginner DJ :)
Love it! ✅
I always i'll say u r the Best
I'm beginner but these is magic😅 🙈
Looping is essential to keep the mix sounding consistent
Nice Skills
YAY im doing it right all this time! :D
Great video! Should we activate the sync button when looping like that?
❤❤❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Its 2am here and i just saw the notif, had to check it out before i sleep lol
Great vid keep it uppp, u deserve the rest tonight hahaha
Very nice ❤
This is one huge feature that ddj rb lacks. So I just remapped all my sampler pads to loop buttons. :)
Hey carlos, so 2 questions:
1. When going for 3rd time champion?
2. What is the best dj trick to impress crowd
Fck yeaaaaah this was what asked for ! Love!
Yawaa atu oy!! 🔥🔥👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Nice.....
Again, so grateful for everything you share, I was just curious, what are the 3 main fx you usually use when performing with serato
Love it lodi
DEEP BROTHER
He used Serato Dj for the Software of it, right? Because if he used it, then I don't know how he got the loop so fast. Did he use Pro?
Yup! It's Serato DJ Pro here
Idol !!
@@djcarlo Idol ko po talaga kayo
Thanks for the great tutorials! I'm new to DJing and started on traktor (mistake, probably!), but just got the DDJ400/rekordbox. I'm finding rekordbox to be much easier and intuitive for me. Couple quick questions:
1. is there a slip mode or a similar feature on rekordbox (as shown in this video on serato)?
2. You mention mixing in key in this video so this question relates: Is there a mode on rekordbox that allows you to alter the tempo (to beat match) without changing the key? In traktor you can do this by clicking on the music note.
This is the 1st transition i learned on my own! Hahaha
It worked out pretty fine for me.. its one of the transition i use most of the time.. its pretty easy to do 😁
dj black coffee echo effects tricks , can you please break it down for us'
Good suggestion! I'll see what I can do :)
Slip mode doesn't seem to work that way in any kind of loop with the latest rekordbox and a DDJ1000.. The slip mode marker goes outside the loop waiting for the loop to exit, rather than looping inside the loop allowing vinyl breaks and backspins to stay in time with the loop. Any ideas?
Sorry Blake, no clue. Let me try to see once I get back from abroad.
I am not sure if I must buy ddj 400 or not. Some are giving me good reviews and some the bad one's. Please suggest. Also, Please make some videos on ddj 400.
Please make more scratch tutorials idol 😁😁, great video by the way your tutorials are very informative 😁
Wow how Do you do that
Check out the tutorial! It should showcase it!
I really love your tips n tricks! Quite handy and useful ;)
I’m using SB2. Would be appreciated very much if you do a vdo of a few cool combining effects that great with the tracks. Becoz SB2 doesn’t have a cool effect like the new ones.
What i hardly do is “scratching”. It’s not easy like you did in the tutorials lol I just don’t know how much i have to sweep backward or forward. It came out weird everytime i tried to do scratch set
And another thing is i really like is your effects on every vdo you made. How you do that? Which program you use? Looks so cool.
Very nice carlo, i just notice that the build uo your using is an edit as obviously it is perfect to finish on that kind of transition, but to find a tune what builds up then drops into a break like yours does (had it not finished ) would be really hard to find wouldn’t it? Usually you would have to end that transition into a drop wouldn’t you not? It sounds alot better dropping into a break tho rather then a drop! It sounds pure 🔥 mate 👍
Or am i missing something here?
Very observant my man! Actually, a lot of electro/big room tracks do that, especially from the 2012-2015 era. It really depends on the song and remix, but some go straight into the build up, while others have a break, then come back with either some lyrics or the build up.
@@djcarlo ah right. Gotcha 😉.
Cheers carlo. It sounded absolutely perfect… its like spin-backs sound better dropping into breaks aswell imo.. thanks for the tutorials tho i think I’ve seen just about every single one you’ve made up to now and ive learned absolutely loads off you mate.
Much appreciated 🤝
Can you do this with Serato Lite
I'm not too sure as I don't remember what features are unavailable on Serato Lite, so I'll probably say no.
That was dope. I never thought I would miss the slip feature from my old pioneer setups. Great tutorial!
Awesome video like always.. I have just one question: how do you organize your music? Since I started out a few months ago I think my music isn‘t organized correctly.. I‘ve sorted it by genre (house, big room, deep house, tech house, etc.) and I have about 17 subfolders now and I think these are too much or I don‘t sort it correctly :/
does serato have a backward loop function like VDJ has? like you can select between the last beat, 2 beats, 4 beats and 16
not sure if i should go serato or traktor need help!!
please ...do a video tutorial on playing techno...and trance
If you press stop while using dvs does slip mode still keep in beat 🤔
monster
So have a DDJ sb3 when I try using the fx buttons and knob it freezes my serato. Everything else works fine. Most are saying it could be my laptop. Does this sound possible.
Just wondering what your tips are for disco
Do you know where I can get any good sound effects?
I have one question. How do you know where you can start one of this loops in a live setup. Do you set cue points for it or do you know all your tracks so well that you can do it out of memory? And thanks one more time for such a great tutorial!
Normally you set the points from memory and if it doesn't fit you can deactivate it quickly before it repeats ;)
you can always set a cue point to remember where to loop, once you do that enough though you'll learn to just feel when to do it and memory will come natural
nice!
First Comment! Your the Man DJCARLO :)
Nice! :)
Can i also do this transitions on serato lite?..
I believe so, but I can't 100% confirm. I haven't tried this one out on Serato Lite
how to activate the function: in/out LOOP and Out Adjust un DDJ RB = cdj 2000 or DDJ 400?
Hey this is a side question
Me and my buddy wanna invest on a DJ controller/ equipment. We been experimenting on our own with a DJ software called Mixxx and we decided that we finally wanna upgrade.
We been looking around and we narrowed our list to 2 DJ controllers:
Numark Mixtrack Pro 3 and Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3 (actually I got this from your video)
and we watched your introduction video on Pioneer DDJ 400 as well.
The thing we are being uncertain on is mainly Rekordbox and Serato, as well as Traktor as well. As our entire library is predicated on using Mixxx, we are totally unsure if we can integrate everything seamlessly or how painful is the transition process would be.
Could you give us an advice on what can we do from here? Is there anything else that we have to lookout for as well?
Thank you for your time.
Hey there man, I am currently having an issue with the Mic on ddj400 to work. Been in touch with pioneer as well with no luck, does it work on your controller (mic)?
would you shows us how to make dj drops
Thanks! I'll see what I can do!
hmmm interesting
hope i can do it on the cross dj apk
