:D Hey, im just starting at DJ'ing i got some new stanton cd player turntables for x-mas and i took a class and i got the general info about dj'ing. I started becuase of two things that movie all is gone pete tong, and armin van buuren. Basically trance is the only route i wanna go in mixing and i eventually would like to create, but heres my dilemma.
I know the counts, from the start beat(1-8) and the next track i cue at the 1st and i drop it in b4 the 1 on the first track i have. Here is the thing, i can get beat matching down all i needa know is what do i do with trance becuase there is really no steady beat. and i dont know where to put it in and how lol. Basically if anyone can give me pointers on mixing trance music id be very grateful.haha but i wont be able to practice it for a bit cause my mixer is ed. i gotta return it or something.:mad:
Thx
:cool: |

| Alt? "No steady beat" you say. What kind of trance are we talking about here? |

| Hmmm, no steady beat? What kind of headphones are you using? |

lol i mean it'll have the beat and then it drops into a synth
or some solo of vocals or w.e
i dont know where to drop it in.
and i have stanton dj 1000.
i listen to like above and beyond, atb, cosmic gate, armin, gabriel and dresden, markus schulz, the thrill seekers stuff like that |

Okay. Gotcha. I highly recommend you read this site:
http://www.recess.co.uk/html/mixbasics.html
He has some great advice there, and he posts on these forums.
Once you've read that section on basic mixing, read:
http://www.recess.co.uk/html/beats_bars.html
to learn more about the structure of a track. I hope this helps. Just keep practicing. You'll eventually get it. I didn't think I would, and yet I manage half assed decent now. |

| I assume he means phrasing and when to "press play". Not really something that can be taught. Listen to this music for enough time and you'll get a metronome in your head that will count for you, then you wont even have to think about it... |
