sorta unrelated, but i was wondering how the heck you mix drum n bass? there is no certain kick patter, and basslines can be really fuked up.

___________________

use the snares on the 2nd and 4th beats.

almost every drum and bass track has em.

Well Drum n Bass is a very toufh music to mix.
its a breakbeat and like you said there is no pattern so i think you shgould follow the basses...

i always wondered what i could post here.......since i mainly spin House....some trance/techno also
being that this is a trance bbs

when mixing anything with a 3/4 beat (DnB, Jungle, Breaks...) you should try to mix the highs... there usually is a high-hat or something similar

trying to mix the basslines is just a pain in the ass

my bro has been spinning D&B for close to 5 years. Ya you mix the snare not the bass line. Its not hard, ive tried it on many occasions

mixing jungle/d'n'b is easier than mixing trance imho

you just match up the snares on the 2nd/4th beat

and you can get away with shorter mixes w/o them sounding like shit
you also don't have to worry about your records not being cued on the 32nd beat in jungle/d'n'b...granted its better if you do obviously...but it doesn't sound as horrid if you don't because there aren't crash symbols or anything at the end of the 32 beat bars
