for a challenge you could also try matching a track at 65bpm with one at 130bpm (exactly half bpm) for instance 😉

Hey Mitch wassup 🙂

So u can have things all beatmatched great – however when you start your mix things can still sound like they clashing and not good together, this is cause they are out of phase….

1 thing you need to get right is the phases – if you get mixing in phase correct, you can start playing around hiw you like and its not that hard once you got it down…

Electronic music is 4/4 time which means 4 beats to a bar – simple really once u get used to it. Then there are 8 bars in a phase, this means 32 beats per phase – if you bring in any song at the start of a phase on the playing tracks start of a phase – where 1st beat of the phase matches track 2’s first beat of its phase (at beginning/middle/end/anypart) of a tune, they are going to make musical sense and sound good, usually u dont want to bang in one tune in its peak while another tine is going into a breakdown (however it can work)

Get your phases right and you can pretty much mix tracks when/how you like 😀

You can hear changes (often big changes sometimes a little more subtle) in all tracks when the phase changes…

Here’s an exercise to do:
Listen to any tune you have – count the beats from the very first one like so: 1-2-3-4, then 2-2-3-4, then 3-2-3-4 (you are now counting beats and bars – bar count is the 1st number in your beat count), carry on and when you get to 8-2-3-4 listen to the changes in the music on the next bar which is a new phase (on count 9-2-3-4), however here i count again from 1-2-3-4 as it is the start of a new phase

Hope this helps ^^

sounds like you have a virus or malware probably both – 90 processes sounds rather high – too much ‘youtube’ i would say – lol 😀

I need to focus on work for a few hours and not constantly buying music!

lol – i always do that too ^^

My advice would be to try and beat match on the high hats instead of the first beat – so usually will be on the 2/4 – i found with dubstep and dnb type genres this is easier – for me anyhow

so instead of cueing on the 1 cue on the 2 (with highhat) and then drop onto the 2 of the track playing – hope u find this easier too 😀

Yo – trying to listen to your mashup – however on soundcloud your link gives me this:

Sorry! We can’t find that

Did you try to access a private sound, but were not logged in?
Maybe the resource has been removed.

Is your track set to public ?

i think this all depends on your personal style and how you like to mix.

i know a few tracks that start off great and end poorly so i like to mix those out early, on the flip side there are plenty tracks that i have to let the whole track play too.

on a sidenote – i hate it when a dj cuts a track i love short, depends on the nite and incoming but it its a good way to get me to take a break from the dancefloor occasionally ^_^
