LT42 me the same with the KAMS…had to essentially spin the record myself at the right speed with the spindle during my epic 3 min transitions

    4 days later

    Today I realised playing tracks with less going on makes it easier to learn.

    So digging out the prog.

    So boring to play but gives me space to learn

      Mad_Cyril minimal techno works well too, lot’s of percussion and space between sounds will help with layering.

        Mad_Cyril mix music your into….you’ll enjoy it more…plus you’ll know all the drops.

            Its only for learning a bit Dan.

            Once I’m more confident I can go back to house, the extra vocals and wide variety i like is making it tricky to learn anything at the minute 🤦‍♂️

                Mad_Cyril i spent my first month mixing the same 4 records, found that to be a good strategy to learn, minus getting completely sick of those records of course.

                    Guess a lot easier with a laptop. Have got myself a learning method now.

                    Found a video on EQing thats helped loads.
                    Find my intro phrase and create a loop.
                    Match that with current tunes phrase
                    Whilst doing balance the EQs
                    Try and find a place to mix in
                    Panic and fiddle with the knobs a lot.

                    Cuing up both channels really helps too, was on using one past week.

                    The phrasing means I don’t have to fuck about trying to up and down tempo too much whilst still keeping energy going.

                    Good fun.

                    Just need to get my tunes sorted now, too much of a magpie!!

                    Apologies for the long post

                        lol i love that. at the beginning it feels like both records are out of control and you’re trying to reign them in like horses dragging you in a carriage. the first time you really control a good mix and feel completely in command is pretty cool.

                          If i was gonna give advice to my younger novice self, it would be don’t play boring records just because they work together. Just play a load of tunes you love and know them inside out. No one in the real world really gives a fuck about the perfect mix, although it is great when you perfectly mash two tunes together.

                            mono-stereo Have fucked the prog idea off now I’ve got a bit of a method.

                            Dont mind a listen every now and then but fucking boring to play

                              Dubman Key Lock?

                              Is that like a child lock that stops me scaring off the cats with the racket?

                                  Ah!

                                  Think I’ve heard that happen a few times. But only going up/down 3 or 4 bpms.

                                  So there’s a magic button that stops ikeychanging with tempo.

                                  Something to Google after dinner 👍

                                    I few bpm’s shouldn’t matter so much. There should be something on your software.

                                      verify this because i haven’t done this in a long while, but i think 2-3 bpm is ok and you get semitone shifts after that. could be wrong though, like i said.

                                        mono-stereo outside of here, everyone thinks my shit mixes are the bollocks. I know they aren’t mind, but it’s a tough crowd in here and I think that’s a good thing.
