Ok so I have a mixing question...
Disclaimer: This is QUITE specific!
I have a new mix on the way, I was just doing a little programming run to make sure the tracks work together as well as I thought they would, and one transition that sort of goes from Tech house to this sort of WHAT THE FUCK tribal tune (trust me the tracks work well together and it adds just the right amount of shock value im after, anyway...)...
My question is, After the first 32 bars I have been keeping the tribal tune on REALLY low volume, like I'd say about 1/3 of the way up when it hits that important 32nd bar of the transition, most of the time of course we, as DJs, would be either switching our basslines here dramatically or really allowing the new track to take over.
I AM DOING THIS, but, at that exact moment the "Vocals" come in, which are basically just this woman hitting a rather high, and long note (about 16 bars long), and what I've gone and done is I've looped a 1 bar loop of my outgoing track, just a kick and the percs-line, while having this 16 bar monstrosity of a vocal "note"/"scream" gradually raise in volume up until the 64th bar.
My question is, am I doing something taboo? To me it sounds good, and I know that's what matters in the end, if it SOUNDS good, it isnt WRONG.
BUT
I wanted to know what you guys think, I mean, I suppose you'll all be able to hear it when I post the mix, but is what I'm doing sensible? I find it's building a LOT of tension in the transition which to me, is cool, but maybe I've just gone off my rocker.
Sorry, I suppose being able to hear the two tunes would give you the best idea but some of you veterans out there might be wise to what I'm talking about, if so, please post somethin' yo!
Peace!
