►SCRIPT
The key though to drop mixing is timing, and knowing where to stop your previous song, and where to start your next song.
And it can be done by either pressing the play/pause buttons or using your volume faders or crossfader.
Anyway with that said, let’s start with the first lesson which is Chorus Drop Mixing
So this is a technique typically done by EDM superstars to keep the energy of the mix going. And this technique works best for EDM, House, Trap, Dubstep and the like.
Anyway it works by shifting songs 4 beats before their drop section. And this section in particular, is usually the part where they do a 4 beat countdown before the drop. So the first thing you want to do is cue point your songs. So we’ll cue point both songs’, 4 beats before their drop section
Now, the cue point A on the first song, will just be our visual cue point to shift songs. And the cue point A on the second song will be the section where we’ll trigger and play it.
So, here’s how we do it.
With both volume faders all the way up, we’ll play the first song then wait till it reaches its cue point A section, then once we reach it, at the same time. We’ll lower its volume fader, then trigger and play the next song via its cue point A section.
The next technique is pretty similar to the first one, but this time, we’ll be mixing at the breakdown sections of songs to help smoothen our transitions.
So like the first technique, the first step here is to cue point our songs, but this time, we’ll cue point them at their breakdown section. And this section is a section that usually follows a chorus.
With those positions cue pointed as cue point A, all we have to do now play the 1st song, then once we reach its cue point A breakdown section, we’ll trigger and play the next song via its cue point A breakdown section
Now if you guys wanna enhance and smoothen out your drop mixing. A useful effect that I use is echo. So I’ll activate echo on the song I want to drop mix from, right before it reaches its drop mix section.
Now, the 3rd way involves drop mixing and using the echo effect. And this technique is a great way to transition huge BPM differences, genres and vibes. And a lot of hip hop DJ’s like Jazz Jeff use this technique all the time.
So in this method, we don’t need to cue point our current song, all we have to do is cue point our next song at the section we want it to begin.
So the key to doing this transition is finding a good song with a good intro.
So this technique, works by letting the current song play, and echoing it out at the end of a phrase. Followed by playing the next song via its cue point intro section;
So The first step is to cue point our next song at an ideal intro section. So for Song B, I’ll cue point its beginning
Once that is done, the next step is to simply play the next song, activate an echo effect on it, then either stop or bring down its volume.
Then as the echo tail lingers, play the next song by either drumming it, scratching it, or just triggering it
