never thought of using the 'negative' space of a track. fire

This is so simple but so genius. In all the DJ lessons I’ve had and all the DJs I’ve played alongside I’ve never seen this nor been showed this. It’s so good for hip hop and pop tracks

I'm using similar procedure, but with looping of the first bar (or more) to match the beat. It's quicker than jumping back, see this: 1. load new track, 2. activate loop, 3 start playing, 4. in moment of transition switch off looping.

I literally have been doing this in Traktor with my S4 for 3 years. Competitors finally adding a feature that's been around for 10+ years! Great job explaining it to people who may have never had a feature like this before though, it's way too useful of a technique in DJing.

I'm starting off as a DJ now and this is very, very cool! I will go and practice this tonight! FIRE!!!! Thank you!

I do a similar thing, but I scratch it in Lol. Most of the songs I play are like 80-110, very different style. I’m more of a party rock/ battle DJ and been DJing for 8 years and still love watching these. Keep up the great work.

I always wondered why the ability to load a song so far in advance - now I know. Very helpful video!!

THANKS didn't think of using beat jump in that manner. great tip!

Thank you Jamie Hartley for a very good lead in tutorial, I'm just getting back to the hobby and this really helps. thanks again.

Great video! Using the beatjump technique to mix in a track is very clever and clear, even a beginner DJ can use it

Cross fader is the best,I love you guys

Have doing that for while but you added more on for me. I always rewind it back bit so bring in the next track so it sounds clean n good transition. Cheers for showing me more tips

Thanks for this. I have learned a lot from you and you colleagues. Keep doing great work. Much appreciated!!!

From a vinyl veteran I love this feature! So sweet!

Never knew about this lead in feature. Thank you

This made everything so much clearer.

Yo you’re just the best. Your videos are so consistent

Thank you for this breakdown! Appreciate it.

Really helpful! Thanks, guys!

A perfect review and for sure I will implement this into my program. thanks for sharing.

So many tools in Serato. Been using Flip, hotcue jumps and loops for this issue. I'll start using this. Thanks for sharing.

Not bad at all that's something I needed now thank you so much Jamie! 🥇💯👍🏻

Love this trick/tip!

Love the wolf fx pack, the jet fx pack is also amazing! Got Serato DJ Pro at half price.(£60) Never been happier with my DJ Software. The 'Slice' feature is also amazing for quick bootlegs live.

Wicked advice! I haven't used beat jump before... but, I'm going to try it for this function. Thanks!

Great tip, living and learning. Thanks

BROTHER, YOU ARE THE BEST!!! You oooh really helped me!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Thank you so much, brotha. Your content is so helpful!!!

Very useful, thanks Jamie.

Funnily enough, a DJ friend of mine showed me this back in Dec and i was blown away by how easy it is to do !. Now i use it all the time. Also great for setting up perfect Double Drop scenario's if you want to get really heavy.

This was so helpful!! Thank you

Nice. Didn't even know we had this feature. Been using Serato for years lol. This is fire for prepping tracks and setting cues vs counting... probably cut prep time by 3/4!!

Never use beat jumping, but looks easier than setting early hot cues.

Woahh I started out with Traktor and they had beat jump in it! I’ve been using serato for years now and have always wished it had Beat jump! I cannot believe it was that easy to find thank you so much!

Great video...just starting out and this helps a ton!

Love this. Simple but effective!

Like your didactics Jamie, simple and cool man!

Mahalo for the beat jump trick....never knew it existed....gonna use it at tonights gig!

Never thought of this lol definitely going to try it

Very nice trick. I shall practice and enjoy.

This is a great video. Thanks for sharing I will use it this weekend for my wedding.

Thanks 😊 alot for this tip it really works

Great hack Jamie. Nice work

Great tip!

Very cool trick Thank You

Really good ideas. Never thought about using the dead space.

Salute for this tip

Excellent technique, all though my personal feelings are DJ tutorials focus too much on using edited tracks with long intros. I feel this way because I have been djing since 1983 & we didn't have such creative control over a track as you do with the most simplest digital track. I learned to be creative with what I was given on a record, tape, or CD lol. I never have a problem blending or mixing any track or genre. With that said I love learning new creative ideas & this is the reason I subscribe to your channel. I look to you and a hand full of other you-tube djers because I respect your opinion & like today actually learn useful new techniques. Bravo sir I like this & will always follow you to enhance my journey as a DJ. (just as a note I've been a resident dj since 2009 every fri & sat. I also dj on Monday's & Thursdays during this same time period.)

great video! thx

Very useful tip!

Brilliant. It looks simple and a bit complex (to start with) at first. I will practice this..

AWESOME.....!!!! Thank you.....!!!!!

Great tutorial

Beat jumping is also real handy for short tracks or if something happens and a track is running out or extendeding a main section without looping in a hurry 👍🏽

Love your videos. I've been DJing for a few years but I'm planning on buying the beginner online program and then the intermediate to go through it from the ground up. There are always little tips and tricks I can learn that I didnt know, or need to work on that will ultimately make me a better DJ. Master the basics first! Thanks a lot man!

Excelente tip no se me había ocurrido hacerlo así de esa manera y uno siempre buscando el extended o el remix jajajaja gracias por el tip saludos!

Thank you bro

i love u so much bro, thanks very much

have never used the negative space... will for sure practice

Great info

this rocks!

thanks for this

Thanks!

very helpful👑

Really helpful

Very Helpful fren

Very helpful

Thank you 💕 sir

good Tip!!!!

Very nice

great technique and simple

Excellent tutorial, I'd like to see you someday make a Techno tutorial with transition and tricks, I really struggle with this and I'd like to learn more...cheers...

very helpful

Thank you!

nice tips

The echo-out effect form the Wolf pack makes this even easier IMHO

This is useful for a lot of Psy trance tracks which have instrumental intros. Kill the bass on the the existing track as the new bassline starts

impressive

clever technique

How fortuitous! I am working through a Serato DJ course, and there were settings that I heard of but never knew how to use, and beat jump is one of those features. Great that this video came out in the nick of time and it's a good use case! I just need to now find out how to access it on my SX3; SHIFT-ROLL isn't it. Anyway, good stuff. Thank you!

Never thought bout echo as a way to cascade from track to track. Seems like itd be cooler to sample glitch it with a guitar pedal or something but your technique is effective.

ahhhh that makes my ocd happy

Wow 🤩

I'd really like to see some of these tips for the Prime 4 system. There are beatjump controls on the hardware so it's a no-brainer translating this specific trick over, but there have to be some more things people have figured out with the system by now, and there's not a lot out there illustrating those things. Love your vids! Keep em coming! :)

That’s good stuff.

thanks

Love your videos. At the end virtual dj rocks the whole boat. Vdj is a monster. I watch this trick now. Do you have a trick for me 2 use ddj1000 im serato? That would be a good starter 😜🤗

Like-a-lot!

Thanks..

this is wow

U r fxxking awesome

So useful, I've been looking for a video like this for a couple months lol

Dude!!! OMG!!! That's so true!! Using the dead time to your advantage!!!! Thank you so much for thes golden tip!!

Do you have a video about how to control track position using shift and the controller buttons like you were in Serato?

I'm a beginner and looking for advice...so when I'm listening to the music on my headphones I can't seem to use the equaliser? Is it because it's connected to my speakers?

have a question. I use a DDJ-SX2 linked through my iMac and using Serato. For the last few months, I have been experiencing sound dropouts. The player continues to play but the sound drops for a second then comes back where it should have been. This also happens when using Djay Pro over the same system. You heard of this, and if so, do you know how to fix it? Thanks 👍

wow 💡💡💡

Please do a tutorial of this mixing live new tracks .. I can’t get it how I would use it in a completely new track ..

Very helpful but I need to get more comfortable with programming my controller pads. Not sure why, but I’m afraid of them!
