Originally posted by Lizard_boy Okay According to one of the night arkitechts that helped me polish up my djing. We called Phasing : when u follow the music count(8 10 12 14 or 16 seconds) to bring in a song so it phases together as the first song is ending and the new song is coming in. And what we called phrasing was just badsic eq`ing but it still kept the respect of phasing because when a change in certain musical paterns would come in we would bring in a certain part of the mid or highs in. Like if there was a strike of a high hat on the song that's ending then the dj would bring the rest of the highs in to a 150 degree angle. Then as the song continues and the 1st song takes out elements as its ending then u bring in the rest of the highs and mids and once the bass tone kicks in that's when u switch up the lows. That's how my djing came about. Though our terminologies may differ its essentially the same thing. Unless u conts read some ' djing for dummies ' book wit all this proper terminology which I really wouldn't care to hear it because our djing all diffr. And jake. U didn't phrase ( my word if u call it something else) so great on ur december mix. Not an insult but its something I noticed. U had 2 lows goin on @ the same time when u were mixin. Maybe it was ur mixer.

What you're referring to as phasing is actually called phrasing. Which refers to stringing musical phrases together those phrases being a collection of 32 or 64 beats or what have you.

As to what you call my lack of 'phrasing' I can only attribute the that fact that I've used absolutely NO EQing at all during any of the mixes I've posted up here such as my December and September mixes. But just because there are two lows going doesn't mean the gain structure was violated. Most of the time those lows were harmonically compatible with each other and at no time did I run the master any more that 1db into the red. So I think the point is moot and it has to do with different styles of mixing. I think most DJs these days overuse and abuse their EQs and I like to distance myself from that school of thought as much as possible.

Read that again to let it sink it. And then realize that I DO NOT USE EQs. Thanks.

Sure thing, polonius.

And this above all: To thine own self be true.

I'll take that as a complement seeing as how he is the archetype for a wise old man.

beat counting is essential, kinda basic. You need to follow a pattern either 4/4 8/8 1/3 and so on. I`ve noticed my shitty behringer mixer has this weird noise reduction effect, one fader is up and when i try to fade in the second track and re-phrase the first one, the latter sounds louder than the first.

anyways, when i play with an allen and heath, it's completely different. better sound quality in my opinion, to counter-effect the noise reduction i use my efx 1000 for recording purposes.

i love djing.

How's that?

OK, honest assessment. I really liked that track selection. Harmonically, you were pretty spot on in your transitions. But, your transitions were very short and there is a one to two second section in each trasition that the music fades out, almost as if you pulled the first track out (or at least the low freqs) and then decided to pull in the next track. Overall, I enjoyed the mix. Really hit my taste in music.

Check your PM.

Your mom is like a shotgun. Two cocks and she's ready to blow.


hhahah!

Thanks for the comment dude. I didn't expect the best coming out of this mix and I most definitly had in mind keeping those transitions longer. Then again I've always been one who mixes without patience just coz I'm always excited to hear how the next track will sound. That's one thing I need to work on.

Will check PM ahorrita!!
