The echo out is one of the first DJ tricks everyone learns: kill the track, echo it, then drop something new over the top. It works, but it's also a dead end. The moment you trigger that echo, you've lost control of it...
In this video, I show you a simple alternative that gives you full control over EQ, effects, fading speed - everything. Same starting point, completely different result. I demo both methods side by side so you can hear the difference before talking through exactly how to set it up on your gear.
