Phil Morse – Mixing Power Skills
GET READY TO LEARN…
- ​How to mix anything into anything – every time, effortlessly. Never again be stuck for a way to play the track you know you ought to be playing next, even if it is in a totally different genre, style or BPM
- ​How to move way past basic beatmatching, into real pro mixing techniques – Most pros don’t really beatmatch that much any more, they’re too busy doing this stuff. You soon will be too
- ​How to “power mix” with all types of music – we cover house, hip hop, pop, rock, reggae, bass music, funk, disco, “classics”, acapellas and more. Whatever your flavour, we’ve got you covered
- ​How to perform these techniques on any kind of DJ gear – we show you on all types of DJ controllers as well as on Pioneer pro DJ gear, and we use all types of software, such as Traktor, Serato, Rekordbox, Virtual DJ. Once you know the skills, you can use them on any gear
- ​The right way to use every control on your mixer – advanced tuition on using your vertical faders, EQs, filters and gain controls creatively so you can perform a much wider variety of mixes than DJs who are “chained to the crossfader”
- ​How to escape the “play safe” mindset and become the type of DJ who takes risks and always pulls them off – by the end of the course you’ll be confidently mixing with tunes lesser DJs would simply describe as “unmixable”…
-  Advanced live remixing techniques – we’ll show you how to take familiar vocals and riffs, and chop, change and morph them into entirely new elements to seriously spice up your DJ mixes
-  “Classic” power mixing skills – impress your DJ friends with tricks using two copies of the same track, manual looping, and the hallowed half/double speed mix technique…
- ​How to easily beatmix pop songs and other music where there’s no time to perform proper mixes – these techniques (including the mega-useful “one bar” mix) are THE vital skills for mastering “quick mixing”
- ​The times when you shouldn’t be mixing in key – and why knowing these rules always leads to tighter, more creative, more crowd-pleasing DJ sets
- ​…and much more, including lessons on cue juggling, phasing, tone play, riding the beats, extending intros and outros, advanced acapella use, delays, gating, elastic beatgridding, power tagging…
