The pitch effect is often overlooked because it’s hard to know what to do to make it sound good in the mix. Here is our favourite way to utilise this effect, along with some creative transitioning. This lesson is taken straight from our Intermediate DJ Course for the Pioneer XDJ units!

Tracks used in this lesson:

The Game – This Is How We Do (Kees Sjensen Remix)
J Balvin – Mi Gente
