i'm learning how to dj/mix drum and bass and I just did this. How did it sound?

Besides the little forget up at the beginning (i'm working on it) I really like how this came out.

Mainly I want to focus here on how I mixed the tracks before I work on something like scratching, sampling, all that neat stuff.

I did the beatmatching my self

I love my enter key.

It sounds slightly distressing/uneasy. Not sure if the songs mix together brilliantly. Whats it mixed with?

Eeeeh, idk the keys just sound off, ime assuming the piano part is a different song to the drum beat; if not ime just not loving the song itself hahah. :S

I find this mix is a awesome Dn'B mix if your looking for stuff to go from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je35bjfpBjg although if you can find a better quality version of the mix its prolly better. Or if you have spotify http://open.spotify.com/track/2lHoMXAeDFTlsysT0nPU7x

It's alright. Some things just don't mix well.

But hey, better than I could probably do.

[Joeboy]

Mm

Maybe change the odd note here and there and it can work

I'm getting where you were going with that but it sounds a little flat

I've been told that any idiot can match beats so with that bias in mind personally I think it could have been done much better and it sounds like you literally just pasted a song on top of another song and said "close enough"

[SpreadsPlague]

it seems like you didn't even try .. why not do it again until the beats actually match up instead of having the "close enough" attitude lol

The whole releasing the crappy ones is part of the learning, seeing what other people think of it

With practice most ppl can beat match normally but with technology nowerdsyas you can just hit a button and beat match. Heck even pioneers new 2000 nexus features a beat matching mode (although with 4 decks going that's quite handy)


Op if you are starting out try house/trance music as it has slower more defined beats ~128-133bpm makeing it a bit easyer to learn from.

DnB is 88 or 85 bpm. I'll definately try this. I have deadmau5's at play album which is DJ friendly so I'll do that
