How to DJ - Ep. 3 (6/8) - James Zabiela - Mastering The Scene

Were back with more beats and bites from master blaster James Zabiela as he loops us something fresh in this latest instalment of the How to DJ series.

Yes, after looking at various different facilities and looping functions on the EFX and DJM-800 mixer, JZ finally gets busy with the CDJ decks

Here, he demonstrates how to do all sorts of useful things with loops, and even shows how to use a CDJ like a drum machine. Check it out.

Once again, all music is supplied by ALiVE Recordings. And to celebrate the labels 10th release, ALiVE is offering up a FREE download of Tom Buddens track Willow, which James uses in these tutorials.

You can now download your free MP3 via the ALiVE Facebook fan page, here: http://bit.ly/aliverec

[TadassK]

is it possible to loop on the cdjs 800mk2 with the in and out buttons as long song as u want ? as like on cdjs 1000 ?

[djdownloadTV]

as far as we're aware you can. but you can only adjust the out point, where as on the cdj1000s you can adjust both the in and out point.

i think the maximum loop is 10mins on all units in length but i could be wrong.
