HEY DJs!!! Wanna learn HOW TO TONE PLAY in 30 seconds (or more)?!?
Know that feeling when you try to ask the internets questions like "how to find tone plays" or "how to be in tune when doing tone plays", but never really get the right answer?
Worry no more! I'm here to help!
I proudly present my biggest project to date and I hope all the DJ community can benefit from it.
It's my look on the ground basics of tone play transitions.
The tone play recipe.
The process that you will be able to remember and apply to make various tone play transitions on your own, without randomly playing with tracks and trying to get lucky.
It's long... I know. But it's not longer than your average school class, so get yourself a cup of whatever you like to sip on, sit back, focus and enjoy!
