Yeah when you mix breaks or drum n bass you do have to a little more accurate then you would when you mix trance etc. |
not necessarily true.....
with a 3 minute trance mix even a slight drift on the kicks can be noticable on a good system |

i was talking in general. I m not going to argue over something so subjective. just know that i can probably say the same thing you just said but replace trance with breaks. |

ROFL you can be totally off on drum and bass half the time and it sounds fine... at least in my experience... DnB is probably one of the easiest genres to mix. |
and one of the hardest to produce imo |

Well from my experience it just requires a little more accuracy. but you are right though most people (non djs) wont even notice if you screw up which is the same with trance, house and every other genre.
let me add what i say is totally my opinion.
bottom line breaks is just like spinning trance just pay attention to the highs and no so much the bass. |

really i must have totally missed it becasue i dont recall even talking about that. Don't get me wrong I do agree with you though. I was saying something completely different. I was saying that from my own personal experiences that i find mixing breaks a little different than trance as even the slightest mistake is a tad more noticable. |

right click "save as"
here's a quick sample i made of me mixing a 4/4 track into a breaks track. i just opened up both the channels to emulate what it would sound like in your headphones if the breaks track was cued and the 4/4 track was playing. the steps i took were simple..
1. drop track at any phrase, as long as the phrase matches.
2. kill the bass and beatmatch.
3. re-cue and wait for a drop point.
4. drop track.
hope this helped |

THe best advice would probably be learn how to match high hat. Matching basslines doesnt give you an accurate read as the hats do. |
