Hey guys,
I've recently started a transition away from mixing DnB and started playing more and more techno, particularly the darker stuff.
I've adopted the same technique to cue point organisation as I did with DnB... 1st Cue point is a load marker at the start of the track. 2nd Cue point is the first drop and 3rd/4th cue point is on the first beat of each subsequent drop.
On the deck layout I have a beats to cue countdown which shows exactly how long I have until the next drop. I have continued this with my techno tracks and when mixing (3 decks) I constantly double drop two tracks.
Is this an accepted technique for mixing techno? It sounds good to me and does create a hell of an impact when two tracks drop together... I searched around online and the only stuff I could find that relates to double dropping is mostly DnB related.
