Dropping down two of the same record is pretty common. But I would say it's used less often to extend/shorten songs than it is for neato mixing tricks and effects. You just have to do it tastefully and in moderation.

Do it all the time! Another thing you can do is "answering" where you have the second record like 1 phrase behind the first one so you get an answering effect. If you have both records in sync with each other (so they're both at the exact same spot in the song) and then with one of them, ever so gently move your pitch control just a little + then just a little - , you'll get a phasing effect.

So you used the breakdown / build-up trick? Which song?

the phasing effect sounds like using the flanger of the pioneer mixer. Makes strange airplane noises over the track. I love to do this with long snare rolls in build-ups...

What pahsing actually is...when you have two sounds that are identical, they cancel each other out. So, when you use your picth to move one of the records just slightly ahead then just slightly behind , it's bringing the two sounds to the point of cancellation and back.

ok johnny, i shall try this
