Such a great video. Thank you. This has really helped me. I can’t wait to watch some more!
Brilliant, I'm glad the video tutorial helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for other videos that I can help you out with, D&B or DJing etc?
A great tutorial, thank you! Maybe you could do a follow up dedicating more time to explain how you cue up tracks, sync them up, what parts you play and when you transition and so on.
Consider it done! will create a part 2 version of this video at some point soon, thanks for the suggestion :)
@@BeatmatchGuru thank you!!
Thank you, this is really helpful! 😊
you are explaining everything nicely BUT I would love to hear more example (:
Hey 👋 consider it done. Will be getting onto some dnb mixes soon
Good informative video for people starting out in the scene.
Great video... Small suggestion though... Don't use the crossfader for mixing... Keep it in center or thru mode and use the line faders... You have much better control. Crossfader should primarily be used for scratching and quick dropping out...
I'll have the volume low and the low down if was gonna use crossfader and then vol up
What an amazing lesson I’m learning to mix DNB this was awesome : )
Shadow boxing good to mix easy
The video I've been searching for! THANK YOU!!!
Very good tutorial
Sooo, I came across your video because after years of dj'ing many genres from house to hardcore terror, I've always wanted to have explained to me the basics of mixing DnB. All I can say is FKIN THANKS BRO!!!!!!!!!!🍻🤘🏻🇺🇸🤘🏻😎😎
That's an amazing comment, really appreciate that you know! Take it easy. Enjoy mixing DnB!
Thank you! I have that exact controller and rekordbox so your channel is going to be super helpful for a learning beginner!
Hi Levi. Awesome!, great to hear. There's a few tutorials on the channel already. Are there any specific tips or advice that you'd like to learn from related to your DDJ-400 or DJing in general? Check out the Free eBook I've recently put on my website, there's a beginners DJ checklist to follow to help you along your DJing journey if you're just starting out. Thanks, Dan (Beatmatch Guru)
@@BeatmatchGuru so when mixing and needing to move up the bpms so the transition to the next song can be better. It doesn’t let me move the bpms up or down unless I increase it or decrease it to its max or lowest point. Don’t know if that makes sense 😂
@@Levi55921 Is the SYNC KEY pressed on? I've noticed that sometimes plays around with the tempo. OR try clicking on the symbol 'MT' so that it's grey instead of red. This stands for Master Tempo. Hope that helps :)
I once mixed DJ zinc-ska with nas - New York state of mind in a bar. It was fun. On vinyl.
haha - "on vinyl"
Had to say it
dark and grotty
brilliant intro by someone who really understands their craft
Thank you for your kind words
1:35 that's called neurofunk
Industrial metal can also fit the bill
What about the pioneering sounds of Kasra's Critical label or just a foghorn with some snares like Serum circa 2018. Ye there's so many sub genres in dnb. God I love it 🤟👽👍
We wouldn’t have dark d n b without Ed rush, optical .
Jungle can be very difficult considering all the different break patterns.
Yeah Im struggling with this too
It would be nice if you 'd show how to practically do it.
good video bro but u missed out rollers lol
What about Neurofunk?
💘
i hope you see thi. i was just wonderingg what that lighting thing is under the track as im looking to find a way to automate lights to a song and that looks like that could be a way
Heya, which part of the video do you mean?
@@BeatmatchGuru around 9:30 there's a lighting thing under the track I was curious to what that is
Why the use of the cross fader and not the volume faders? Is just your preference or a drum n bass wide transition? .
Hey John-T_Smith, Yeah it's more of a preference really. I use the channel faders in other genres such as Garage for cutting between tracks. To be honest it's probably just a habitual thing. The choice is yours really.
Can be more subtile when you wanna cut or bring in another track. More smooth
How do you know what part of the tune is the verse, chorus etc? I sometimes don’t know where the intro ends or where the outro starts? Or if I’m in the verse part or chorus? Because a lot of Drum and Bass doesn’t have vocals.
Hi there. On the drop from the first beat when the bassline kicks in for the first time (after the initial build up) you can count around 64 beats until the next section. You can name the first section after the drop Chorus and then the next section after 64 beats is the verse. Not all song structures are the same. Using DJ software (Rekordbox or Serato) you can use beat jumping by 32, 64 or 128 beats to help set hot cues and markers to divide up the sections of a song. You can do this in reverse from the drop of the bassline using 32, 64 or 128 beats to help segment the intro into different sections. sometimes you will want to cue in a track from only half the intro to get in a quick mix. Hope that helps? Cheers, Dan (Beatmatch Guru)
You can see a darker patch on the vinyl when the first chorus is. You may get another before the outro or you just time it with your ears and use a main break to kick off the next tune and start your mix.
Thanks for the reply. Does the verse, chorus structure apply to non vocal music?
Say for example Adam F - Circles. I’m trying to work out the structure of that tune.
It's the false drops that seem to catch me out when trying to match the phrasing, especially with unfamiliar tracks
For 4×4 beat 01timewarp timestamp in your this CZcams video 00:05:56min/sec-00:06:36min/sec what software you use in your this CZcams video to make the beat For 4×4 beat 01timewarp?.
Ableton is the software 😀
Can I get the names of the dark side/tecky djs in the comments so I can copy and paste
forgott to add that jungle isnt jungle without the reggea/raga/dancehall lyrics and melodies
What software do you use?
Hey Fin
I use Rekordbox on the DDJ-400 Pioneer Controller, and I also use Serato on my DVS turntable setup too.
@@BeatmatchGuru thanks
Would mefjus be considered neurofunk?
Heya - Yes Mefjus is Neurofunk, similar artists include Noisia, Phace, Enei, Misanthrop to name a few :)
I have so many questions to ask. And to clear doubts. Anyone here to help me ? Please 😢
Snares most important watch those snares
Completely agree
what about rollers
Yes mate, I love the rollers haha
FORMATION Records
Eatbrain!!!
Just to save someone else time: this tutorial is for DJs not producers. It is not about how to mix a DnB track in a DAW.
@1:50 its called neuro/neurofunk my dude
Cheers mate 👍lol grotty bassline dnb as standard
I don't know about you but I think dnb is the easiest genre to DJ :p
You left out neurofunk
fell asleep 3 times
You talk like me all the info is there it just doesn’t flow out your mouth very well 😅 great vid
Love it 😊 usually jacked on coffee, maybe cutting back might help me out haha.
9:59 that's fucking red mate
