try breaks with electro house, some of the early > mid 00’s breaks that is, adds a nice sub swing to things
imma whore this an example…
brad whore cee
Whatcha all saying. House music doesn’t even have basslines 
ive been doing a lot of dubstep with electro lately it usually alternates on the kick so some songs work pretty well when layered never really listened to breaks but will look into it tonight 
always willing to add more to my sets
vids nice dude… got a little cam that my dad bought back from china and was dying to start filming mixes but couldnt get the drivers anywhere 
just works for a porn cam these days its about the size of a AA battery ha… will eventually invest in a decent cam
wat
a cam the girlfriend doesnt know about is the better term haha
that is all
haha toasts
Everyone has their own mixing style; if it sounds good, keep at it. Personally, EQs are my primary weapon. I’ve done mixes without everything else (no volume faders, fx, etc…), but I’ve never done a mix without using EQs.
Step 1 : Learn to beatmatch and do snap mixes (really short)
Step 2 : Learn to maintain tempo sync for a really long time (2-3 minutes) and mix
Step 3 : Realise that you need to use EQ to help mix such long transitions
Mixer EQs aren’t to make up for deficiencies in your PA setup (your FOH EQ should be doing that) and they’re not to make up for deficiencies in mastering.
And as a general rule in production, live sound and DJing you should never BOOST eq, only cut. Boosting will screw up your gain structure like all sorts of hell.
no eq’s huh … 12 second itunes crossfade?
I agree with the rest of your post, but I wouldn’t say never boost. I’d say to avoid boosting when possible because generally the same effect can be reached with cuts, but often boosting frequencies can be helpful especially with production. Just need to watch the levels.
If you weren’t meant to boost sometimes, the knobs wouldn’t go past 12.
this, there’s a reason they go up as well as down…
Just because you can doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
This is all silly logic. I think the reason they go past 12 is that DJs would bitch that they have lost a (relatively useless) feature)
next time i’m jumping puddles i’ll try to remember that
I rarely go about 12, sometimes with the mids, but I’m sure there are perfectly valid DJ workflows that use the feature regularly.
It does undoubtedly give you an easy way to completely ruin your sound quality with ignarant usage, but hey.
handy when you’ve got a track that isn’t as well mastered as the currently playing one, say the hi’s are a bit muddy, you can bring them up a bit…
That’s a good idea because it is awesome.
for once we agree..
