Ending a DJ set?
Ending a DJ set? Posted on: 30.07.2013 by Aubrey Glasgo How do you end a set? I've seen Steve Angello, Tommy Trash, all big name DJ's use this effect where you loop the end of a track and shorten the loop gradually and then it ends on a big 'boom' sounding and that's how they end their set? Does anyone know what it's called or how to do it? | |

Let the song play out and right at the end flick the power switch on the TT that's playing. Closing tracks are really dependent on crowd and the evening you're playing though. |

| Doreen Schurle 31.07.2013 | A local taxi company has an official club track which I play at the end of every set. It's actually a badass track, and when people hear references to the city in the lyrics they're like... "wtf?" Plus for the super drunk people it actually has the phone number of the taxi company in the chorus, so there's no excuse for not getting home in one piece. |
| Margaretta Hebenstreit 31.07.2013 | i end most of my sets with this: and some with this (modern day classic): |
| Brunilda Kora 31.07.2013 | ...THEN piss all over 'em. |
| Brunilda Kora 31.07.2013 | Seriously - you just gotta play the most obscure, weird sounding, no-ones ever heard of track that you can find. As far away from the genre of your last track as possible. Country, Gospel, Psychadelic, Childrens TV themes, Choir - these are all good examples. Leave them scratching their heads. I'm not joking. |
| Lannie Kutay 31.07.2013 | Oh you gotta play a killer track at the end. I will usually play "stand up" by the prodigy.and thank everyone for coming and tell em to be safe and watch out for cops. |
| Wilson Durrum 31.07.2013 | When ending my set I either let the track play out or echo freeze out near the end. |

| Tania Somppi 31.07.2013 | I quite like to finish with Mark Summers - Summers Magic and the end of Ice Cube's - Better off dead sample |

| Wilton Keuning 30.07.2013 | I turn the dry/wet all the way down on the appropriate effect bank, then turn the delay and reverb parameters to max (I use the effects in simple mode.), as the song or phrase I have selected to finish with comes to conclusion I slowly tease up the dry/wet knob and A) either let the song play out or B) stop the song at an appropriate time. This creates a nice effect that really slowly trails off and if you (with a medium-slow speed) turn the reverb down it creates a kind of cool pitching up effect. |
| Masako Barcalow 30.07.2013 | With this. |
| Antonetta Wikel 30.07.2013 | You only need an ending like that if you're the last DJ playing. Usually you want to play a track that's close to the style of the next DJ playing after you. |
| Rodger Seferovic 30.07.2013 | Just like how you describe it. You loop it and make the loop smaller until its a high pitch sound. Maybe modulate the filter or pitch then launch an explosion sample. Unless this is a troll post. |
