Week 5: Using FXs and Samples

Program Description:

Theme: Newfound skills  

Weekly goal & lesson: This week’s lesson will teach the youth to look within their abilities and skills to find out what they enjoy doing. This allows them to get to know themselves better as they discover their taste, skills, and what generally makes them happy as they encourage others to do the same.  

DJ Activity: This week we will learn the use and importance of FX and samples during the transition as a mixing technique. We will discuss in depth the different uses of the pads and knobs dedicated to controlling these functions in the software. This will allow them to discover new skills by applying the first steps of scratching techniques.
