This is from a set that Mr C did for his 50th release party.... sounds like the beats double or like a song might sound when your listening to a song and your computer slows down... anyways if you can tell me how this is done it would be much appreciated....

I don't think this is the right forum, also the sample is pretty bad quality.

I heard a double beat a couple of times that sounded like the stream buffered for a second... don't know if that is what you meant though

You need two copies of the same record spinning at the same speed; to generate this effect mix in the first beat of the second record between the first and the second beat of the first record:

code:
beats tune 1: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8... beats tune 2: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8...

Or you can just use the mirrox mix on the alpha track of a Denon S5000 to get this effect...That way you'd only need 1 copy of the song...

am i the only one who gets a .m3u trying to download the sample :/
anyway, i know when i hit the 'delay' effect on my djm600 and drop the bass at the same time, i get sorta a double kick effect, but cant really hear without the sample :/

The sample doesn't work cause I moved this thread from the Unknown Tracks forum to the DJ Booth. The original thread is still there (click here), so you can still listen to the sample.

Heya Trantz,

This is a mixing technique sometimes called doubling up. First time I saw it done was in the days of the DMC competition at the Royal Albert hall back in the 80s.
Turntablists were doing this all the time back then especially with the record "It takes two" by Rob Base and EZ Rock. They would do it with the vocal to make it go "It, It, takes, takes, two, two etc..."

The way it's done is to get two copies of the same record (Best if it's on the same pressing as the speeds on releases can vary).
Match the beat up the way that AndiH states. The rest is all down to the way you use the fader (It can be performed with the channel faders but takes a bit more practise).
Once you have heard the beat from record 1 throw the fader over to record 2 and then back again. What you should hear if done correctly is a triplet of kick drums.

If you want to cancel out hte kicks then do this in reverse so that you throw the fader when there is nothing on the tracks if you see what I mean.

It can be done with two different records to create some cool effects but it does take some figuring out.

This is a very easy trick that can be learnt in no time but I would say that you should use it sparingly as it can get old real quick when a DJ does too much of it on the dance floor.

Best of luck
