TA.com's DJ Handbook

Ok, all pro-, amature- or mp3-djs, I ask for your help to do a handbook for DJs with different Mixing Techniques to start with. So please read the posts bellow and come up with that special technique that works on some records or maybe all kind of music.

Anyhow please discribe the technique as following:
We have 2 turntables, turntable A (playing at start) and turntable B. We have a mixer with crossfader, gain control and volume control. A pair of headphones and infinite recordbox.

Write it out stepwise as the example:
1. You have a house record on A and a prog techno on B.
2. Pitch B and and standby.
3. Now, when the records start on a new 8-period pitch B down with 4% and then after the first 4-period you increase by 8% (up to +4% from the original speed) and at the breakdown of the two records you mix over.
4. Done with mixing and you've increased the speed on your set by 4%


Now I probably got you confused but you understand how to discribe the technique ok? Now do it! And let's do this thread big!

To be honest, I don't think writing a 'mixing handbook' would make too much sense. Every mix is different and should be treated as such - there is no pattern or procedure that will work for every two tracks. Mixing should be done by ear - judging what sounds good - and not following guidelines ... Otherwise you wouldn't need a DJ anymore - a computer mixing program can do the same thing much better.

And more so, spinning you learn from doing it alot, not from reading a lot about it.

you guys are so totally boring! It's fun to let people know your tricks. It's just fun, don't be so boring and restricted, free your mind

Hmm let me get this straight ... you free your mind and become more creative by following mixing procedures and techniques of other DJs ? .

left deck live........cue/beat match right deck in headphones.......kick over the fader some........udjust EQ's......complete the face when its just right....

Watch the crowd go wild

shouldnt be about 1% down then 2% up? (1% faster)
cos 4% faster is like 6 bpm faster
even increasing the set bpm by 1% is a lot

fyi...
www.recess.co.uk
already has this covered in great detail.

Id like to know what sort of drugs this sad twat is on. What exactly is he talking about? Can somebody break his code?

lol

Transa, before being a twat yourself, did you ever stop and think that not everybody's native tongue is English. I'd like to see you write a coherent post in Swedish. Or let me guess, English is the only language you speak ...

Ok, lets backtrack here, for a start, i can understand every word this person has typed, and id be hard pressed to find one "English" word that he has typed wrong.I am not critisising alberts ability to speak english m8, just struggling to find out what it is he is talking about, thats all.

So dont get all snappy at me when i was perfectly in the right, he failed to make any sense, weather or not he made the post in arabic-english-swedish or some strange alien lanuage not from this planet, its the concept that he fails to put across, or i fail to understand. SO if you or him could kindly make a decyphered version of his "Handbook" then i will gladly see the light.

Cheers

Guys! I wrote that like 3AM in the morning! (Swedish time)

Besides that I go to an international high-school where I do english talking 8 hrs a day 5 days a week!!!

OK, it seems like everyone is in that winter mood with the end of year exams and x-mas shopping collides, plus when you have to pay $25 for that new-years eve party that all your friends are going to and you don't know if they have tickets left or where to buy them right? (my situation)

Why I put this thread up was to get influences and difficult mixin' techniques to practice. But it seems like no-one here knows anything about DJing and therefore try to diss my concept of this thread and hanbook. That's so llame!

NOW WRITE THAT MIXING TECHNIQE THAT CREATES CHILLS DOWN YOUR SPINE (If you've ever touched a mixer of course)

Albert I think I understood what you mean, but like most people already stated Djing is a reaction to two individual songs, and will be different for every song. If what your after is the understanding of how to effectivly beat match two songs i.e from the first cue point to finish using platter and pitch control, then try this web site.
