Hey all
I've been DJ'ing now for nearly a year and while in that year I have learned beatmatching, my mixes are what I would consider, boring!
I need to learn a few more techniques, I usually just drop the bass on the incoming song and mix outro-intro, very very boring, I know!
Now, I have watched many videos on beats, bars and phrases. I mainly mix house music, sometimes progressive.
So correct me if I'm wrong, A bar is 4 beats, 8 bars is a Phrase in house music? or is it 4 bars? I've heard different explanations on the internet, can someone clear this up?
So how do u guys improve your mixing? I don't use too many effects, mainly cause I don't have a clue how to use them correctly!
Also regarding EQ's, I only use the bass, when/why should I use the mid and top?
As I said I've been bedroom DJ'in for almost a yr and I don't seem to be improving, so I've came here to look advice and direction really. I watch many many videos online, still no real improvement, and I'm at the point where If I don't get any better I might just pack it in you know?
Equipment I'm using: 2 cdj 1000s, djm 800, TSP2.
many many thanks
