all done most new DJs down a bunch of songs and put them to a playlist and think that's it well it's not loading a brand new unanalyzed track can cause sluggish DJ program performance misaligned be kids and improper volumes and mixing new tracks is difficult if none for the first time as well like how do you know when and where to mix so in this video I'm gonna teach you how to properly prepare your tracks so that when you mix it'll be perfect every time before you proceed let me just let you know that all the songs are going to use in this tutorial or all available for dunno down below or right over here so if you want to follow along get those songs anyway the first thing you should do when you download a bunch of tracks is analyze them so here's how to do this on cerrado and on record box DJ and on tractor analyzing your tracks with you three things number one it'll beat with the properly so that when you make sir press the dreaded sync button the tracks will match perfectly number two it will adjust attract internal gain which is basically its volume so here on your side I thought all tracks have the same inherent volume level somewhere louder and some are just softer so by analyzing your track the software automatically adjust our inherent volume so that when you mix each Chuck will be properly balanced with each other and number three it'll make loading them a lot faster you see when you first load a new track the sulfur will automatically analyze them and doing so life may cause your program to slow down because analyzing songs take a lot of computer processing power so now that you know the benefits of analyzing your tracks let's now try to understand what the basic DJ track actually is now most DJ tracks after two to sixty four-bit intros choruses and outros and this is all dependent on the genre and BPM so if you plan to mix your next song with the 32-bit intro you must then trigger and play it I adapt the Curt song's chorus section or outro section but you have to do it on time and at the correct section or beat to get a clean and perfect transition down because if you don't something like this may happen [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so how I make sure to always mix perfectly on beat and on time is by cue pointing my tracks so I place a total of three cue points one at the intersection so the position of this Q point will be 32 bits away from the end of the intro the second one will be at the chorus section so this cue points position will be 32 bits away from the end of the chorus and the last will be at the beginning of the outro section now if you want to make this process a lot easier and faster then use a beat jump feature this feature allows you to jump any number of beats forward or backward so now your songs are properly queue pointed let's move on to getting the perfect mix every time so the overall goal is to mix cue point a at either the curt songs to point B or C section since our next songs cue point a is ready to beat away from the beginning of the song by mixing it at the current songs cue point B section we will be certain that when the current song scores ends the next songs beginning begins [Music] and by mixing our next songs to point a at the current songs to point C position we will be certain that we're mixing during the current songs outro section [Music] so if you want to mix perfectly every time even with new songs you have to properly analyze and cue point them and I know I know I know it's a big hassle but believe me it's pretty worth it in the long run by doing this tedious process you now also gain the ability to either mix fast or make slow with any of your songs so if you wanna mix fast then mix at the current songs cue point B position I usually do this if I see the card is not enjoying the current song and if you wanna mix slow then mix up the current songs to Point C position and I usually do this if I see the crowd as enjoying the current song now deciding when and where to make is up to you because you're the DJ and hopefully now you're better one at that hey you reach the end of the video and the question of the day is are you obsessed with your tracks and properly labeling and arranging them or do you just not care let me know in the comment section down below and I'll see you all in the next one
