- Your DJ software has “stems” but you’re not sure how to make them work properly
- Being able to “turn off and on” vocals, drums and music in real time when you’re DJing is a game-changer… if you know what you’re doing. But there’s a LOT to learn, from the technical side of getting stems working well to the creative side of sounding good. We cover it all in detail
- You’ve been considering taking a DJ mixing course but have been holding off
- If there was ever a time to short-cut all the experimenting, mistake-making and frustration of figuring out pro-sounding DJ tricks, techniques and transitions, now is that time – we’ve packed this course with innovative things that otherwise may take you YEARS to figure out (if ever)
What You’ll Learn In How To Mix With Acapellas & Stems
Module 1: “Introduction”
Time to get excited! This is where you’ll learn why it’s so great to use acapellas and stems technology in your DJing (spoiler: now you can get acapellas of anything you want!), and it’s also where you’ll meet some extra (freely available) software that you’ll want to get, in order to make the most of this course.
Module 2: “Getting & Organising Acapellas”
In this module you’ll learn how to get acapellas – both how to get studio acapellas that have already been made, and how to make your own high-quality acapellas (much better than those that DJ software can give you), including how to do it with freely available software.
Module 3: “Beatgridding Acapellas”
Beatgridding acapellas is the secret trick that lets you mix with them perfectly, every time – and it is easy once you know how! In this module we talk you through the basics, and then show you exactly how to do it on all popular software, including how to beatgrid “difficult” acapellas.
Module 4: “Stems Overview”
Whether you choose to use stems simply for instant acapellas, or want to take it further with live mashups and remixing, you need to understand how they work and how to set them up, which often includes Midi mapping. It’s all covered in this module, with lessons for all the major software platforms.
Module 5: “Acapella Mixing Fundamentals”
One thing most DJs never really learn are the rules for getting acapella mixes sounding great. Not you though, because here you’ll learn it all – things like getting the timing right, using hotcues and loops, using key sync, and finally how to easily incorporate acapella mixing into your wider DJ sets.
Module 6: “Basic Acapella Tricks & Techniques”
Time to get in the mix. Learn the classic acapella mixes that the best DJs use set in, set out, then move on to the acapella bridge, adding echo and fader cuts, adding filters, use sung, rapped and spoken acapellas, and getting the timing of long, standout acapellas spot-on, for unforgettable set moments!
Module 7: “Advanced Acapella Tricks & Techniques”
You’re about to master how to cue juggle with acapellas, how to use acapellas to change genre and tempo, how to use acapellas on three or even four decks, how to restructure acapellas for live remixing, and even how to chop up spoken acapellas to take things way beyond just playing them.
Module 8: “Basic Stems Tricks & Techniques”
You’ll start with a peek behind the scenes at how DJs get creative with stems, then learn a “go-to” drum loop stems beatmix, how to make stems mashups, how to make acapella in and out versions, transitioning using stems, plus using stems for BPM and genre changes, detuning vocals, redrums…
Module 9: “Advanced Stems Tricks & Techniques”
Learn all-new tricks & transitions such as our “sick beat” genre change transition, exciting wordplays, full-on mashups, even a half / double speed drum & bass transition. This all goes way past just acapella (and basic stems) mixing – it’s truly creative DJing, for you to show off your originality and skill with.
