 Coolness: 201180 | I hate any song with a breakdown
Seriously... It's about the tune being INTENSE from start to finish... Let the DJ make their own breakdown during the mix with appropriate tracks |

i was talking to my friend benny about all this and he says that i should never have two bass lines (the lows) pounding at the same time he said that this only makes everything sound all garbeled and distorted especialy on a big sound system, what do other people think can one bass line dub over another and still sound all right? i'm sure this has been asnwered, maybe even to contradict what I am about to say. NEVER overlap two bass lines, you will likely overload the speakers and I can almost garantee that it will sound bad anyway. OF COURSE two specific songs may not, for some odd reason, have this problem so all in all know your music so that you won't ever be suprised by yourself. |

| Coolness: 201180 | when the beat goes away and all you hear are stupid sounds... then maybe a really long drum roll and then the beat comes back |

what exactly s a break down? lol common you've been producing music for over 8 years and u didnt know it was called a breakdown ?..anyways breakdowns r not useless scotty. they have too meanings. they give you a break from dancing. and they let you mix a track more properly. |

 Coolness: 83830 | i disagree with the noobs comment...
you have to mix through the breakdown if you wanna nail the notorious "double drop" spoke of earlier. in breaks you can also try to eliminate the boredom factor and add extra anticipation by throwing in short drum cuts here and there. but then again alot of breaks guys also opt for shorter mixes and more tracks, playing a bunch of drops to build intensity rather than than let ppl catch thier breath. how do you guys feel your genre affects you mixing style? |

| Coolness: 145155 | short tracks means i never get a second to rest while i mix, |

 Coolness: 140640 | dude... double dropping is... I mean you really got to know your tracks well or be lucky as hell.... seriously |

| Coolness: 509515 | if I think double dropping is what I think it is, it doesn't always sound bad, besides it's techno and a little bit of asymetry never killed anyone... my latest mix has two double drops in it (asynchronous build ups right?) and both sound quite decent... it's like a double build up almost! |

| Coolness: 103290 | mixing a track u don't know is usualy easy...once in a while you'll have a weird break thing..
and why is mixing during breakdown for noobs..i think u missunderstand what i mean by breakdown..im talking about when there are say...32 bars and it reaks a 1 or 2 bar break..then thats where u switch da bass. |

I'm pretty certain that the kind of DnB that I spin has really affected the perferance, I always like it harder and faster than anything else anyone is doing. |

 Coolness: 75625 | How genre affects mixing styles is a pretty interesting discussion.... especially if you play around with a lot of styles and apply techniques learning with one sound, to an entirely different sound... I remember someone telling me that certain 'tricks' (a word I kind of don't like because it implies that an act is some kind of subterfuge, and not a skill) couldn't be used for certain styles... In specific she was saying that double copies of a record wouldn't fly with the 'complicated melodies used in psy-trance' (her words - not mine).... I asked if she happened to have two copies of anything and start ghosting the records she handed me... playing with the offset to create pitch variations in effect.
I dunno... learn as much as you can - try anything. Mixing ain't like riding a skateboard... I mean - I've never heard of anyone breaking their arm when things didn't work out. |
