    If you listen to both tracks individually they are worlds apart, the Drax tune is much much faster so to make them match like that, that's where the beauty lies, that's the true art of mixing.

      No art at all, that's bullshit. Imagine you're an artist who creates that track, you choose tempo, key, you hear it inside, you want it to be that way, but some hack instead of prepare enough decides to mix two absolutely different tracks, pitching your work by 20 bpm, and you call it art?

    if your mixing with vinyl you can mix in from one tune at a certain bpm and the next could be a fair bit faster and once mixed in you can increase the speed thus upping the key and that can build energy and tension unless your deck has key correction like some of the Stanton decks but you dont have to have it on .

      that's actually an insanely short mix for techno..... just over a minute?

    • @iancowley_DJ
      @iancowley_DJ Год назад +1

      30 seconds is long? I think she was giving a short hand example. This mix isn't long, and at the basic level. Which was the point I think. The EQ was somewhat good good, although it did loose bass when in the mix. Less bass than when the song was playing normally, which defeats the point a little. The mixing of two songs gives that extra pounding of the kickdrum, and some songs join together with a phasing sound. Both deliver hype and energy. Title of video, building energy. Dropping the bass lower loses energy, and deprives you of that thump when two kickdrums are on top of each other. If the DJ did this for two whole hours I would think they were either being lazy or just didn't know how to combine two songs together. The use of the long crossfader was ineffective because the new song was apparent as the volume wasn't smoothed up. The short crossfader would have done exactly the same job. And you can use the short crossfader for Xfading, and playing with fading between the two records, give the crowd a few tricks with the fader, especially with techno. Using the long crossafde is about as useful as setting up the turntables in "battle " mode, but you don't actually beat juggle or scratch. It's kinda pointless, and the mixer is designed so you can transition between two songs smoothly with the middle Xfader.
      Now when mixes are 2-3 minutes long. Two songs go from break down to end (and vice versa), and one bass dops out, while on the other song the bass kicks in on the perfect timing. You do this for every song for your whole set. No awkward transitions when the mix is ejected 14 beats in or its pulled 3 phrases in, into a basic kickdrum. Beats matched well, a couple of seconds of beat match mistakes here and there because nobodies perfect, nothing more than touching the platter hard a few times. Then you are a good DJ. Its all about knowing your songs, and the placement of your mixes. The longer you can hold two songs together the better. As well as track selection.
      Its not only holding the songs together, its finding the songs that work really well together, and find the spots in the songs that do this. Back in the day you practised your records and knew them all inside out. Mixed them all multiple times to find those "special" mixes. Today songs are easy come, easy go, and you may not touch two songs together because you've downloaded 10 more songs the next week so it's harder to discover those special mixes and most DJs just slam songs together and hit the loop button so they don't have to take risks. In other words, very basic mixing to get by.
      You can also do 20 second "transitions", pogo hop up and down, twiddle the tops EQ as if you are getting electric shocks while the outcome is inaudible, beg for attention from the crowd and not learn a thing, then get offended when people call you a button pusher.

      Gwen, i always do the same in my mixes. This is a way to give a consistent colour shape to the songs (each one with different mix/master), in order to keep the same "pressure" on the dancefloor.
      Imo it doesnt make sense let the Eq always flatted.
      And yes, the most important thing is never clip the channel or master bus.
