Hello,
I've been trying to learn the art of mixing on decks myself but i have been struggling lately with a few things.
I currently own 2 decks and a mixer setup.And my style is House and sometimes maybe trance. There are couple of issues i've been facing.
1)MAKING PLAYLISTS
I have been advised by several DJ's to make a playlist according to Genre.
This is the toughest part as there are more than a thousand genres out there just in electronic music.
Even though i categorize a particular audio file into some genre(eg: Deep House), there are other genres as well where the songs fits into(eg :Future house or whatever)
Categorizing a song into a genre and making a playlist according to it and then coming to know that the song is not entirely the same genre is where im struggling.
What method do you follow in creating Playlists and how to categorize songs accordingly.
2)BEGINNER MIXING
Other than the BPM and Energy of a tune what assets should i notice in a new song to make sure they fit in well with the ones in my collection.
Other than this,
What approach did you guys take when you'll started out practicing Mixing.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
