No. Because it’s too obvious. All you do is put them at the same bpm and it’s impossible to get it wrong. Just get two ‘DJ brakes’ LPs/tracks. Eg the 45 King ‘900 number’ vs ‘it takes two’ Rob Bass & EZ Rock. ‘Champ’ by the Mohawks...James Brown ‘Funky Drummer’. You really want to be starting with 1970’s funk, rock, disco...1980’s electro, 1980’s hip hop. Simple beats that you know. Then know how to mix reggae dancehall tracks by segueing (‘juggling’) tracks on the same ‘riddim’. Learn to mix house music, which has a simple ‘4 to the floor’ beat. When you’re good with that, THEN look towards DnB. Simple tracks. NOT techy DnB with lots of layered percussion. Just mix very minimalist tracks over a slightly more colourful one. Leave the techy, complicated beats mixing for when you’ve mastered how to play music so it sounds sweet. KNOW your music. If you know funk, rock, rap, electro then you’ll appreciate the samples that are used in tracks. Also you’ll be able to remember what your tracks are...and be able to read a crowd.
@mrlawilliamsuk Warmachine this is absolute bollox mate. I love drum nd bass and decided to learn to mix it. Threw myself in the deep end nd haven't looked back since. Learnt very quickly too. Best matching really is a piece of piss it's not difficult.
I have been mixing dubstep for a hot minute ( a couple years) and I'm trying to reaching out in to dnb. I have been working with different technique on the back burner for about a year now. I'm about to dive in to dnb hard. I noticed you dont use alot of layering like in house based styles. Would you say dnb mixing is more focused on "dropping on the one" and "phrase mixing" as apposed to fading in and out via the mixers H,M,L dials. The dropping on the one and phrase mixing was my bread and butter when it came to dub and I'm just trying to wrap my mind around dnb mixing.
I don' t see mr bels reply but thank you. I am a couple months deep now I mix it just like a fast paced dubstep doing all the cuts and transitions I normally use just at a faster pace it was actually really easy after I really dove in to it. Thank you sir.
You just have to find your style and go with it. When I am mixing liquid dnb, I tend to let the beats flow together when transitioning. But when mixing neuro or jungle I tend to do more cut drops. For me dnb is easy but dubstep is a whole different beast. 😂
More dnb tutorials please😊
yes!
More drum and bass..!! Please good sir..

would you recommend to play the same track on 2 decks to learn beat matching ?
Aloïs AMY Yes thats the best way to learn beat matching

Ive always thought d&b went more progressive mixed within a bar or two ^^
