No downbeat section…how to mix it?
I have never figured out how to mix a track that doesnt have a downbeat section, or those songs that don’t really have a build up. Normally I just pre-measure them to where the downbeats of song are going to stop and the other song is going to drop.
Any ideas?
I have the S4, is there any effects that are designed to help me with this? : D
do you have an excample?
This is the song I am confronting now…
It would be perfect for my mix.
But I cant find a song that would be able to fit into there…
the downbeat is starting in min 02:04. also there is not too much happening in this track. you could easily drop in another track. btw. outro is starting at min 04:07…
NVM HAHA
I didn’t realize the 2:20 minutes in it has a downbeat…
The waveform is really big on traktor…I should of listen to it first.
But I have had this happen on other songs, I cant remember any of them now of course.
listen to your songs. get to know them. don´t always rely on waveforms 
Yeah…totally made myself look dumb
haha
thank you tho!
Still learned something
you´re welcome man!
You can still drop it earlier by finding the first beat and then beat jumping by 32 beats backwards. Once you are early enough set a load marker and then just go from there next time.
eha eha
Can anybody explain me what’s “downbeat section” and how it works? Or detect on a song ?
They are talking about songs which have an intro devoid of a strong drum line or any other beats which would make it difficult to mix with.
Generally you just skip the intro and mix from where the beat comes in.
