Loops?
So I’m just wondering, how often do you utilize looping in your sets? I know there are a wide variety of ways to mix.
Myself I use 1200’s and Serato. I also have dicers, which I use about 50% of the time. I tend to only use loops when mixing Drum and Bass, and sometimes hardstyle. I mainly spin breaks and /never/ use loops when I spin breaks.
How about you guys? How do you utilize looping?
I use it whenever I can to help with transitions mixing hip hop. I’ll grab an instrumental loop and use that to blend one track into another.
Being a Traktor guy, I’ll use drum loops and stuff in the remix decks to keep a beat going between breakdowns or aid with some transitions, too.
I use loops all the time. Hell, I could play an entire set with 4 songs and a shitload of looping.
Minimal house “DJs” just use one track looped for 4 hours.
Oh. that’s it ! I was wondering how they kept the same song going that long.
Your mixes aren’t that loop heavy unless you mean looping the outros and intros which isn’t really that creative.
They’re more loop-heavy when I play live, it depends on the mood of the room as well.
never.
I never use too till a couple weeks ago and now I don’t think I can go back to mixing without loops lmao
