Looping using CDJs or DJ software such as serato, traktor and Ableton Live is one of the best ways to thrill any crowd!
There are many different tricks that you can try with looping that are commonly overlooked for most new DJs… (If you want to learn more DJing tricks sign up for our DJ tips and tricks newsletter by clicking HERE now)
For example… did you know that you can actually create a build up in the middle of a track without a build up just by looping? Try it… Set your loop in and loop out points on your CDJ or digital djing system for 4 or so bars. The music will be looping over and over and over. The same four bars… All you have to do to create a build up is to turn a little “echo” or “delay” effects up on your mixer and then start to turn the jog wheel on your pioneer CDJ.
The result? The loop starts to get shorter… and shorter until it is almost a static noise similar to what can be heard at the climax of a build up!
Then you just hit the exit button to exit the loop and pick up right from where you left off in the track!
It works for me EVERY time! 
Have you ever tried this?
I’ve never done that before, I will have to try it.
Another way to do it is to do the same trick at the end of a real build up. So just before the songs is about to kick back in you set the loop and then do it. Its drives the dancefloor CRAZY!
Ahh nice !!!
this sounds like a cool trick, i love a good build up
effect.
cheers again Sean
