 Coolness: 40330 | hello everyone, i just started djing and i was wondering something about drum&bass: is it different from other styles? cuz im pretty confused on how to beatmatch drum&bass, if it it important to do so cuz it doesnt sound bad with 2 songs playing at the same time without the same rythm...

 Coolness: 201215 | jungle operates at faster bpm's... often between 165-180. Most songs use a two step rhythm similar to jazz. for example:
- = one 16th note (for example BASS - - - SNARE - - - - - BASS - SNARE - - - as opposed to the 4 on the floor beat used in techno/house/trance/ect... which would be like for example: BASS - Hihat - BASS - Hihat - Bass - Hihat - Bass - Hihat - Train-wrecking jungle is the worst sound known to man, so don't play at any parties until you are really good. I am not that knowledgeable about DJ'ing but I know with drum&bass you could probably rely on the snares as a guiding sound for mixing, They often hit on every 5th and 13th note of a bar. |

 Coolness: 51230 | what a question! yeah drum n bass is different than other styles. for one, its *better*....
for two, yeah you have to beatmatch, just like any other DJing. i recently had a mathematical vision about beatmatching...its like solving a differetial equation with two variables. one variable would be "speed" - i.e getting the two records to play at the same tempo. this involves the pitch control! the other variable is the "start time" which means, even when the records are the same speed, you have to get them to match up. you want the beginning of the bar to match up...and the kick is usually the first note in the bar. this is when you put your hand on the record to advance it or delay it. you gotta both both at once...does that make any sense?? |

 Coolness: 471795 | It ends up being the same as with straight 4/4 kick drum beats ...
Try to hear the invisible kickdrum out of it, as if it was hardcore .. It is alwyas there,invisible,in the background ...to keep it regular .. Think of it as hip hop or reggae but twice faster .. |

 Coolness: 63895 | so i think i've pretty much gotten the basiic handle on the beatmatching bit, but i have another question and i've been wondering about this for a while.
when you're playing a set and you want to put the next record you want to play on, how do you make it so that it doesn't suddenly sound like you've lost half the music? is it a question of phrasing it so that you change it after a certain number of bars....or some wierd magic? i dunno if my question makes any sense |

| Coolness: 471795 | Just keep the bass low 'nuff on the upcoming record ....and when you feel its peak comin or when you wanna leave it alone then put the full bass on ..
You can do that with mids and highs too ..keep it low up to a point and then boost it in at some point .. There's no specific law on this subject i guess .. everyone its own technique .. |
