    I made this video for the people who didn't know how to mix DnB.
    You know how! good for you, they do not, so perhaps after a few tutorials from me and other people one day they will, and in turn they will help others.
    This is all i want.
    thanks

    man, you're the best!
    why do still people think these tutorials would be useless? ifyou don't need them, don't watch them, you're not forced to watch this!
    i hate those people, who think only because they know how to do something, the others wouldn't have to learn it...
    so, shut up!
    thanks for your great help, johnathan!

    Nice man, you make nice movies! I just recently started to DJ, a friend of me has a proper set and he helps me. He is not into dnb but I am, so these movies help out a lot! :) do you have any tips or advice when it comes to easy dnb songs to start of with? Like a track set of 8 numbers so I can practise with those. Thanks in advance!

  • @zed6and789
    @zed6and789 11 лет назад +3

    In d'n'b, the kicks rarely land on the third beat. It's usually the 3.5 or the "three-and," halfway between the 3 and the 4. This is what makes it a breakbeat.

    • @jbcddfgvbvv
      @jbcddfgvbvv Год назад

      Sometimes even the second snare doesn't always land on 4 either. Often in drum and bass which incorporates the 'Think' break, the snares land on 2 and 3.5. But in this case, the chances are that there will be one kick for every 2 snares

    When you're mixing drum n' bass and you've got two songs beatmatched (ON VINYL), will they remain in sync until they finish, or will they slowly go out of step; therefore requiring very slight pitch adjustments while they're playing?

    cheers ellaskins, i really like your tutorials, just 1 question m8, why do you prefer the hi hats to snare when you mix drum and bass? so many ppl say that, easier to find the snares, and I noticed same. By the way Im beginner in DJ-in'. Its a quite old video, hopefully, u will respond.

    @amenKilla
    Totally agree with you mate, I was mainly thinking for newbies to beatmatching, to get them out of the habit of touching the plate too much at the beginning. Once the mix is in and its live to the audience, you need to touch the plate to catch it if one is going out of time

  • @QBziZ
    @QBziZ 13 лет назад

    the beat that you explained is in fact more a typical hip-hop beat, kicks on 1 and 3 ( and then another kick halfway between 3 and 4 ). the d'nb beats have got the kick ( again typically ) not on the third beat but halfway between 3 and 4.

  • @TheGeneralDisarray
    @TheGeneralDisarray 13 лет назад

    @anao22 This same poster has a great vid where he explains how to beatmatch. Basically, think of it like two cars racing side by side. If one is going faster, it quickly gets ahead. So the slower record has to go at an even *faster* speed to catch the other up. Then when they draw side by side, the track which was originally going slower is now the faster track, so when it gets ahead you have to slow it down quite a bit to have it drop back into line with the other car.

  • @HoeBlogggs

    • @calumevans1160
      @calumevans1160 7 лет назад

      use the pitch bend man :) sometimes you get tracks that just time themselves out of eachother anywayz (i find this happens alot djing like hardtek and shit) use the pitch bend control to keep it in line and just remember what tunes need it
