Need Traktor Tips or Share your general DJ tips!

Hey

OK I have been a vinyl DJ for years and happily beatmatching records no problem, but I want to up my game. Now I have Traktor Pro and the Traktor Kontrol X1 suddenly I am in to the world of using the FX.

I can happily just blend records and starting to try out the FX, but don't want them to sound over-used or crap.

What do you guys do to make your sets more interesting or your blends better?

For example I was reading yesterday about looping a buildup with reverb and a filter to make it longer so that the tension in the club got really crazy before dropping the beat back.

Just want to be a better & more interesting DJ.

Cheers

Exactly what you did. Learn the Tool, master the tool. Break the tool.

Thrill the masses.

Peace!

Look into smart mixing since you got traktor and ableton (if you have not already)

I use Ableton too, but I actually prefer the more 'traditional' feel I get out of traktor. If I want to do Live performance/remixes I will use Ableton.

I like the hot cue jamming and on the fly looping I can do with Traktor.

I am sure there must be DJ tips that can be shared no matter what platform you use?
