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.

                                …worth pointing out it can make tracks sound shitty if you push it too far, if you need to use it to key-match a track with more than +/- 4 difference on the pitch slider, consider choosing another track

                                  Get this, and agree.

                                  From my limited experience, pushing more than +/- 3 or 4 feels too much.

                                    Found it.

                                    There’s no button on the Fisher Price toys but it’s in the SW.

                                    Going to just leave it on.

                                      Dubman that’s the one i remember. the mixed in key software worked pretty well as i recall.
