What is your guilty overused effect?

What is your guilty overused effect?

Most DJ’s are aware of the overuse of certain effects when less experienced or even experienced DJ’s get their hands on them. The overuse of Flanger for example. I am sure we all have an effect that we know we use far to often but use anyway.

Mine would have to be using and echo while mixing 2 tracks together. Along with a combination of Phaser and Filter when coming into a drop to create build on the DJM 800.

What is yours?

drunken beatmashing :stuck_out_tongue:

Delay freeze. It just sounds so good when dealing with a drop in energy between tracks.

Too much fun! I wish I’d never shown my mate’s girlfriend the beatmash buttons on my MF, she has no sense of rhythm :disappointed:

For me it’s probably the gater.

I like to baby scratch drop.

Don’t know, don’t use much effects.

Maybe killing the bass for a couple bars and then kicking it back in…it’s so simple yet effective (pun intended :smiley:)…

lol @ 3heads :stuck_out_tongue:

it took me a good 5 minutes to find the pun there. Doh.

Doing a quick fader push of the incoming track on the beat so you get an effect like

1 - - - | 1 - - - | 1 - 3 - | 1 2 3 4 | DROP

Usually with some EQ or filter twakage as well.

freeze to easily mix vocals and massive beatmasher!!! XD

gater/ice verb combo, sometimes on a <1 beat loop with low pass filter to turn previous track into a make shift bassline for next one…

Partial to the odd beatmasher anyway but when ive had a drink I turn into a beatmashing beast!!! :open_mouth:

[/quote]this i could pretty much use it for hours lol

Ice Verb…

I don;t think I beatmash too much. I usually do it when it NEEDS to be done.

Iceverb is nice on breaks to make the HUGE EPIC sound build…

I really only use Beatmasher, Delay and IceVerb.

A&H filter sweeps

1/8th delay with A&H filter sweeps…

Yes this! I just love that resonance so much. Sounds like a cougar. :open_mouth:

armyofme’s whoosh… and that bass kill… and i know its not an effect but i am partial to the odd backspin…

Beat masher and gater, use them whenever I feel a track needs to be demolished…so 80% of the time.

Also iceverb…so much iceverb…

delay and t3delay, i just effin love them :slight_smile:
