I've read this on here a few times (layering), anyone tell me what it is?
While I'm here, might as well ask what 'on the fly' means too. I've read this one a few times too.
Hey, come to think of it, what about an ABC of DJ terms for non-native English speakers?
Just joking but I am curious about layering and on the fly.
Thanks |

Layering is playing one track on top of another (i believe)
on the fly is doing something that is not prepared in advance.
In a sentence: "That mother****** was layering tracks on the fly" :D |

sorry i mean.
isn't layering only a technique used when spinning techno? . coz techno records have a on them some thing called lock groove.
a lock groove deliberately loops back onto itself. so the same revolution is played over and over again . |

no that's bull
was this in some sort of djing for dummies guide you read or something?
you can layer everything and anything (and should unless you want to be a gimp dj just playing one record after another)
just use your ears. some things sound good, some things don't
also lol that might have come out harsh but i don't mean to be offensive |

Sweet man!
I've heard this one Trance set with scratching and it sounded really good. I wish I still had the set or could remember the DJ name! This wasn't hard trace, this was just plain old trance. I think the intro track was Greece 2000. I've tried scratching before, and it's definitely something to work on. Good luck! |

| hahaha yeah definately man .. but scratching can be really distracting though .. coz u just have too much fun scratching to the record that u forget to bring the next track in .. happened to me a few times . |

| I try to layer as many of my transistions as I can by bringing in the next record pretty early so you have some elements of the next track 2 - 3 minutes b4 its ''really'' playing. And as for scratching, it can be a really cool effect to surprise the crowd. A cool technique I like to use is to put echo on the second record and scratch it during a buildup on the main track. And since I scratch using the first beat of the upcoming track I just start matching the second track right from there:cool: |
