Mixing techniques. Post some ideas.
Whats some good mixing techniques you guys like to use?
I usually play track A, then start Track B when track A ends.
Nothing to good yet, any ideas on what i can do to better my mixing techniques.
Really dude? Use the search function or look at the articles on the front page. There as to be a dozen+ articles and threads on this subject.
More flanger cowbells
If you think you have enough flanger cowbell, you don’t, you need more.
Starting track b after track a ends isnt really mixing..
Thats just playing music.
Read all you can about phrase matching. It’s the #2 thing a DJ should pay attention to. #1 is song selection, and that’s largely a matter of taste and not something that can really be taught unless you can talk to someone about your artistic vision (assuming you have one).
Seriously…if you do nothing but pick the right tracks and play them at the right time, you’ll be in the top 10% of DJs as far as I’m concerned.
Not according to all the Frat boys with their laptops that say they’re “DJ’s”
Never enough or a horn phaser sample to fire Everytime your trying to get your swag gets in the way of the play button and track ends
my cd player from 1995 will play song B after song A ends.
Ean golden has some nice videos on youtube on mixing techniqiues. he’s the guy that post’s all the tutorials for this site
I’ve wired my 1210s to spin anti-clockwise, so currently I ‘end’ Track B when track A ‘starts’.
is anti-clockwise different than counter-clockwise. jw. sorta haha.
Yeah-no-maybe. I might try and wire them so they go counter-anti-clockwise though, take this art-form onto the next level, yeah?
They’ll go back in time, or some shit
They have to be going 88rpm though…
But only at 88 rpm… or maybe 88 BPM?
EDIT: kamjongill appears to have beaten me to the punch, well played.
I mix kicks. Bitches love kicks.
screw that counterclockwise shit. I keep my turntables stationary and rotate the rest of the universe around them.
Jesus guys, what the fuck is this…
If you don’t have the creativity to come up with the slightest idea of how to mix two tracks, what are you doing here?
I’m a big fan of incessant scratching between tracks to mask volume, bpm and genre differences.
I will share one transition I like though. Icefilter (or ice reverb, whatever it is) and lofi. Slowly bring up the filter to give that hiss sound as you bring up lofi to degrade the sound, and when the lofi gets half way, slowly bring the wet/dry down as you quickly bring the icefilter down.
