Good afternoon,
I'm progressing towards setting up my sets with more "creation" instead of just putting my tracks one after the others, with some overlaps, loops, etc. I am using the remix decks from Traktor with some sets I bought on Beatport, with a combination of S4 and F1.
I wanted to know generally if you were using as an "almost" continuous background a "supporting" beat or beat part (like one or several precise drum parts of a remix set), in order to keep an homogeneous background, or if you were relying most of the time on the beats and drums of the songs you are playing. How do you deal with the changes in bass levels (let's say when a kick that comes in your song seems louder than the background beat you were using) in the first case. I am trying to play with the low button to harmonize it but still it is clearly audible whereas I am always under the impression that it is not the case when listening to people mixing.
Are pro DJ using only separated tracks from remix sets, allowing them to reconstruct all the music without this problem or do they also play complete tracks without the possibility to dissociate layers, only playing with loops, etc.
Thanking you in advance for your advices,
F-
