The rap DJ combines two compositions into one, using the rhythm of one track and the vocal acapella of the other, thus obtaining a completely new result. Both tracks should be rhythmically matched to each other, have a suitable melodic structure and match dynamically. To mix rap perfectly, a DJ needs to know his music perfectly, have a good sense of rhythm, understand music theory and DJ equipment.
It is necessary
DJ equipment (turntables or a computer with the appropriate P0), records or discs with rap tracks, records or discs with acapellas
Instructions
Step 1
Listen to the music carefully. DJs should be familiar with the rhythm structure and tempo of the tracks they want to mix.
Step 2
Get ready to play. Play the first track on which you will overdub the new vocals. Put the record or disc with acapella (vocal part without instrumental part) into the second turntable.
Step 3
You can include a track with vocal acapella during the instrumental part of an already playing track. Make sure that the new vocal track matches the rhythm. Know the track that is playing well to avoid overlapping new and old vocals (unless this is done on purpose).
Step 4
Before playing the acapella, you can introduce it into the mix using a “scratch” technique, or by manually pulling the record back and forth in a certain rhythm. Scratching allows the DJ to incorporate new vocals into the mix in perfect timing.
Step 5
Practice. Experiment with different tracks, including the same acapella in different places, at the beginning or at the end of the square. The more experience you have with mixing tracks, the more likely it is that your tracks will not "fall apart" during live performance.
