Usually if im asked to do something like that i just go "ah, maybe another day.." or "you want a copy of a mix or something?" But if i had no other choice id just turn on a tune and play with the effects a bit.. shut em up.
I wish i had more people around my area who understood a single thing about mixing and the works of it. If so id be inviting them around a lot more and doing some B2B stuff..
Only time iv ever done that was at a party i was playing at where i was told to play house.. But it turned out everyone just wanted nigga/rock music. One guy was into EDM and we did some B2B mixing when everyone was too drunk to give a anymore.. So much fun.
I'm currently getting desperate and teaching my mrs howto mix. Who knows where that may go.. |

| ha, been asked that question so many times about doing a scratch for someone. Though I take the route of I don't do that stuff or maybe another time, and then I'm labeled a stuck up ass because I didn't demonstrate for them on the spot. Oh well off I say. |

Effects are gay and scratching usually doesn't go over well with trance. I've been able to woo all of the people who have ever seen my decks in person by doing a 5 min mix containing 3 songs. They always love it and ask for more and then we're partying lol.
I guess it also helps that I educate my friend's well on the trance scene. It may sound too good to be true but, everyone that has seen me DJ has also been very open to learning about the EDM scene. |

I don't know... I think every DJ should practice with scratching, no matter what genre you play. It really helps with your general ability to control the records better. Even before I spun hip-hop, I had a few scratch/breaks records that I'd play with.
What I'm saying is, find a few hip-hop instrumentals, get a scratch sample record, and learn simple like chirps. Guaranteed action from the ladiez, yo. (kidding) |

| I learned how to scratch properly far before I learned how to beatmatch well. I just couldn't help myself. I had turntables and records. :conf: |

Do you have any downloads where you mix like this?
If you don't want to do anything, just tell them you're not a trained monkey. |

Kill switches, it's all about the kill switches.
My mates love using them. I tell them to flick 'this switch' and they over use it to but love the fact that they're changing the sound.
Otherwise the serato set up on it's on keeps people asking questions.. |
