halo.....as i started to practice,i found some problems..
plz give me a hand... ;)
1.my mixer is getting pretty "Hot" after 1~ 2 hours practice,is that normal?
2.i am using hd25 headphone. and after i wear it for 10 mins.
my ear area feel a lot of pressure...not too comfortable!
anyone else have the same problem?
3.beatmatching is actually match the drum right?
and my question is,i can hear the drum sound at begining very clearly
but when song plays to middle part, sometime i am getting confuse if what i hear is the drum sound or bass sound, is that my hearing problem? or my speaker sux? |

1. i have NEVER heard of a mixer getting hot. my best guess is that it isn't too good. generally when electronics equipment gets hot = bad.
2. yea, it happens, eventually your ears will be numb to it.
3. could be both, after a while you will get used to picking out the drum. thats all im going to say about that becauise there are billions of beatmatching threads.

1. Yes, its normal, the circuits tend to get a bit hot sometimes, not something to worry about.
Every mixer does it.
2. Yes
3. You will learn to seperate the two as you will get better at mixing. |

| I'd say it depends on how hot it gets |

| the more you spin the better you will become at picking out the bass in the tracks! itll just take time to get use to all of the different things happening in the song at the same time! stick with it though :clown: |

| If you get lost hearing the drum/bass a good way might be to turn down the bass and mids and beatmatch it using the high hat. |

1. Mixers get hot because of the resistors in them produce a lot of heat. This is perfectly normal until the mixer gets too hot to touch. Make sure that you are not in a very hot atmosphere to begin with and give your mixer breathing room. Put a fan on it if necissary.
2. Do you wear glasses? I do and taking off my glasses helps reduce the pain around my ears, though the only solution is to get headphones that don't press on your ears that much. Try extending the cups out as far as they will go and put the head rest on the back of your neck.
3. Beatmatching is matching the beat of the song and therefore the bass beat is what you want to match. I agree that it's hard to tell if the bass is matched when you are midway into the track, so use the hi-hats and the other instruments to tell if you are beatmatched when in the middle of the song. Most of the time you just need a little push in one direction or the other. Also, you're next step after learning how to beatmatch, whill be phrasematching. You can count most trance songs with 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 etc. Phrase matching, is basically, making beat 1 of song 1 match beat 1 of song 2 etc. There is more too it than that, but it will get you started. |
