Make Mixtape with Virtual DJ

How to make our own Mixtape? Here is the easy way to do. First way, we can use AUTOMATIC MIXING in Virtual DJ features.
And the second way, we can Mix it manually with much technique of Mixing.

Let's see one trick to make Mixtape with AUTOMATIC Mixing.

Step 1: Song selection

This step is very important to yielding the mixtape that prefection. My suggestion choose the track what still be original (non crosscut song) or choose the song for dj's only. The way easy to get the song original for djing you can see at beatport.com, djdownload.com. Choose the song that is good and commercial which many people like it. but depended what your music of genre. May be your genre is house, electro house, progressive, trance. the fourth music genre is commercial in the word.

Step 2: the song sequence

After you have to do election the song then put in to playlist at virtual dj. then listen one by one to determine the song sequence (for number 1, 2 , 3). My suggestion arrange from low bpm to hight example: Djing with genre Eletro house, house, progressive.

1. title song - artist bpm 126
2. title song - artist bpm 127
3. title song - artist bpm 128
4. title song - artist bpm 130

And so on ( if you want to burn to cd set total time 1.78 minute maximal) but depend knock and its song composition. from listening accuratelyone by one song you to make yours mixtape will know the its song sequence. The technique is easy to sequence the song is pursuant to each bpm the song from low to hight. don't forget to analize the song if bpm unknown.

step 3: choose skin vdj

Choose the skin virtual dj owning PITCH BEND. like skin virtual dj default, Dn 3500 suggestion, Dn-4500 variation, groove vdj, Mix station sv 4.2 variation, mix lab v3.1 and ect. at virtual dj software there are SYNCH, magic beatlock of function at vdj 5.2 pro (in skin cdj 1000 variation ) sometimes the beat not always realy of equal. It's completion you must use the PITCH BEND.

Step 4: set automatic bpm equal at vdj

Because the default setting from virtual dj I think less good. That need we must to do Re-set such as:
A. Auto pitch matching
B. Auto gain
C. Crossfader
D. Maxload
E. Auto cue

All of function on virtual Dj very important when live action djing beside known the techniques. here is my experience to setting configuration in virtual dj so much easier when djing. Like this

set auto pith matching : Always
Set auto gain : Auto
Set Crossfader : Full
set maxload : Always
Set Auto cue : Enable or always

see picture: Go to Config or setup, then choose Option.



Why must to set auto pith matching : Always"??
The reason is in order that we to be easier moment loading a track on desk A or B. Virtual dj software automatic will be set BPM track to follow Track BPM which are turn on desk.

Example:

Track 1 on desk A active BPM 130
Then you loading new track on desk B.
the track on desk b Bpm value will be follow BPM value the track on desk A and become 130 too.

are you understand?? he.he

Why must Set auto gain : Auto ??

The reason is because not all track have volume same. The every track have volume of diferent. there is track have hight volume and down volume. If we set auto gain on config (option),virtual dj will be make sound same. And this is will be easier moment we djing. we not need to set track volume/gain.

Why must Set Crossfader : Full ??
This setting will make the output sound to be better. Especially for Low, Hight become steady.
the sound output is very different if we set as smoot, cut, or croosfader.

see picture >>



The setting like this. blue collour of the image shows the setting FULL Crossfader. This setting can using on External mixer or internal mixer. the result of same but sound output depend on your sound system. If your sound system is good, result will be same good.

set maxload : Always

This setting depend your pc / laptop that you have. If your hardware have big Ram (2-4gb) and hight processor, I think this setting will be very support. Maxload is for loading wav graphon desk A or B.

Set Auto cue : Enable or always

This setting make every your track loading again on desk A or B, your set CUE will be always active. You not need to set CUE again.

If you an DJ professional I think you understand. But if you beginner you must read thoroughly, because this setting is very important when wedjing. Ok friend. I hope this article useful for you.
