It's maybe a bit off-topic, but I found it an interesting find that DJs can try out theirselves. I stumbled upon it by accident when mistakingly mixing the same track twice.

Song to use:
Moonbeam & Tyler Michaud Feat. Fisher - Love Never Dies (Original Mix)

How to get the effect:
Play the track twice (overlapsing) and start both at the same time (exact) and you will become a kind of flange effect on the song without using effects... Then play with the volume of one of the two channels ...

Pretty cool heh? :D

Sample here:

(first part is a piece of the original, second part is same piece but track played twice)

BTW: Do you think DJs should use effects like flange (or other) while mixing? Personally I'd say NO. But let's hear it...

It is easier to use an effect :), but still cool to find out in such a funny way.

I guess it can sometimes be used to increase the thrill of a buildup towards the climax. But DJ's sometimes don't know the meaning of the word... sometimes :lol: Then they just keep flanging through their mixes.
Then it kinda looses its power.

Never use Flanger in a recorded set though, only live.
