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

      Mad_Cyril Panic and fiddle with the knobs a lot.

      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.

                                For people out there using a controller/laptop (I’m with Recordbox), what do you use to store your tunes?

                                Been organising today (raining) and dawns on me i might need to consider something else than just laptop HDD.

                                If I use an external drive could I get latency issues?

                                  I play only lossless-files so my SSD hard drive is always full. So I only keep current-stuff on my laptop, the rest is on portable hard drives. Never tried playing with an external hard drive.
