ParticipantAnyone know what does Punch In stand for?
According to Native Instruments website Bass-o-Matic & EventHorizon Macro fxs are “Punch In” type effects.
When can I use them?ParticipantHee Won Jung, post: 36029, member: 948 wrote: The strech is kind of like a turntable stop but different. The 2 different uses i use for it are: doing major bpm transitions where ill have one track going brreeeeeeeeeeeee and then start bringing in my new track 8 beats before the drop and have the strech on it as well and just do the opposite of the first track so it goes eeeeerrrrrrrrbbbboom into the drop….
I will definitely try Stretch FX transitions this evening. Sounds very interesting.

What you mean by subtle layering. And how can the energy levels be raised while playing deep house? I know DJs manage to raise it, but I have no clue how. The genre itself and the tracks are usually so relaxed.

Yes I know that without layering the transition is called cutting, and when you layer its called blending. And electro, progressive and some other EDM genres are transitioned form one track to another with blending. What I mean about layering is that when djs play deep house, tech house they play two or more tracks at the same time like always, never a single track.

By layering I mean playing two tracks (maybe one track and one loop) at the same time, while in transition I mean just going from track A to track B

However, if you are feeling that you must play music that gets boring to you, then DJ’ing might feel like a dull job after a while. Just sayin….
Personally, I would vary the sub-genre’s a bit for a multi-hour house set. Mix deep house with tech-house, some old school house (late 80’s early 90’s), soulful house, nu-disco, and even a pinch of more upbeat electro-house for “height of the night” peaking. That way, you keep it fresh for the crowd and more entertaining for you to play.
Hope this help! 🙂
I absolutely agree about playing genres which I don’t like. I would never do that. And usually when I try playing I vary the genres. And I always start with deep house. But the thing is when I listen to separate deep house tracks in beatport charts, it gets boring after 15-20 mnutes, when I try playing it (just fx here and there and transitions) it gets boring, but when I hear the music in the club I kinda like it and think that DJ is the one making deep house sound more interesting. I want to learn some tricks.
ParticipantAlso i’ve noticed that tech/house djs layer tracks while playing live, while in mixes which they post online they just make transitions.

Can anyone recommend any other website/blog with remixes of popular songs?ParticipantJ-Zed, post: 34091, member: 1486 wrote: The line behind techno and tech house can be so fine it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. Then you look on beatport and on one label it says techno, the other it says tech house. Then there’s techno that sounds like older prog and everything just gets all mixed up. Good tunes are good tunes in the end.
Exactly. Lots of crossover tunes these days. Last week Jordy Dazz – Claymore tune got my attention. Can’t tell which genre it is, seems like big room tech/prog house 🙂 Its brilliant!
ParticipantThanks guys for lots of replies, very helpful. I’m already getting somewhere.
ParticipantAs I understand changing highs is essential in mixing tech house (in prog and electro not so). What about going from A to B. Which effects can I use for transitioning from A to B. I like Sebastien Leger but I find it harder to layer or transition between his tracks, since his music is more funky/complex (with more sound spectrum than many other tech house tracks).
ParticipantFound this tutorial months ago, might be useful. its on cdjs but can be used on controllers

I would also like to see more tutorials (videos, wikis etc)Participantwhat transitions shall i use if i want to play only minute or two minutes of each song (something like doing a megamix)?
ParticipantCan someone explain how to do a quick mix?
