Looping. Why loop?

[Jas]

I know some of you that are into mixing do loops sometimes while others probably don't. I like doing a loop on the fly sometimes and I've found two good reasons to.

1. To help in beatmixing. I'll set up a loop on deck 2 at the same BPM as the song that is currently playing on deck 1. When I'm ready to segue the beat match is set and I can exit the loop anytime after the segue.

2. To have an instrumental bed to talk over. Since I don't like talking during the vocal part of a song, I'll start an 8 bar loop during an instrumental part. I did this once during the cha cha slide because I didn't wanna talk while DJ Casper was already talking. Make sense?

Anybody have any other good uses for looping?

I'll use it for word play tricks. You can grab a word or phrase that leads you into the song you're getting ready to mix.

I'll also do echo out mixes that you can do with a loop or a delay feature depending on how long you want it to run.

Looping is great, like mentioned, looping parts of the intro or beat to have it ready for the transition

Nice work Ross. Nice scratch out too! I love word play and do it a lot in my sets.

DJ AM inspired me so much with this technique , that I now find myself constantly looking for songs to word play with.

I loop to extend the song. If all of a sudden a line dance, soul train, conga line breaks out, I loop it so the fun doesn't stop.
