Vinyl Record Mixing for DJs

“I hope you have really enjoyed this adventure that we have lived in the world of vinyl. Surely everything learned will help you bring future projects to life and have a great time mixing and playing with your favorite songs. This is just the beginning! I invite you to record your first mix using at least two of the mixing techniques that we have seen during the course. Now we are going to review the project phase by phase. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Practice the techniques Before you start, review and practice the different techniques I taught you in the "Art of Mixing" unit: scratching, tap and push, playing with the EQ, etc.

Remember to find the BPM of the songs you are going to mix and also the starting point, as we saw in the "Tools" unit. Essays Check that all your equipment is ready. Before starting to record your session, I recommend that you rehearse what you are going to do. Practicing is important when performing, so take your time. Session recording Finally, the most fun moment arrives, executing the session! Enjoy 100% mixing the tracks and record your session to share it with the world by uploading it to any of the music streaming platforms you prefer. The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the entire process of creating and preparing your session as well as the link to the recorded session that you have uploaded to a music platform. I am very excited to listen to your session and give you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum. As we have seen, collaborating with other artists helps us to improve and take our art to another level. See you in the forum!”
