yeah dude, put pieces of tape over them if you have to.
The faster stuff especially dnb (bpm: 160+) will often show up as random numbers that arent even close.
What type of mixer do you have? |

i think being totally stoned most of the times i try and learn might effect my learning curve?
either way its fun but i think i may rely too much on the bpm counter on my mixer too
being stoned prolly doesn't help, and using bpm counters is like riding a bike with training wheels. take them shits off on skin yer knees, or you'll never learn. |

bpm counters on mixers rarely work in my experience |

it's all about the breakcore and idm, if you can mix that shit you can mix anything. |

liquid is prolly one of the easiest styles of dnb to learn with. that and tech step, or jump up. ragga, or at least the style of ragga i get down to, is prolly the hardest to learn with. but i think once you learn how to mix ragga, you forget how to mix everything else. |

I am going to be dropping a couple digi tracks for the first time @ far out. So we will see how this goes. I feel like a noob with this shit, but I know I can beat match, I just dont know how well the first couple are going to go. lol.
I am also bringing out a digital sampler to far out, so its going to be a mashup of vinyl, digital and samples. |

hey thanks for all the advice everyone
the best advice i had so far for mixing trying to mix dnb was dj rev said 'match the snares'
and so thats what i am practicing doing now and i have gotten about 3 songs deep into a mix without fucking up
but i do see improvement |

I dont think theres really anything thats easy to mix. When you think about it theres a hard way to mix anything in order to make it sound better.
I would also advise going the vinyl route and spend time organizing a good collection of tracks that fit well by tempo.
Start by practicing the same 12 tracks in different order every time and then start incorporating new tracks in with the ones you mix well already.
* You cant really do any of this though, until you get your beatmatching down.
>> Recomendation get 2 tracks that are the same bpm and try getting them to blend together for their full duration. Practice that daily!
Hope this helps

edit: If you decide to learn on vinyl get Technic M3d or Mk2(black series) Direct drive turntables and a good pair of scratch needles. |

Just don't sweat it. Drum & Bass is a whole lot harder to mix than trance, house, or even hardcore. Just have fun with it and you won't even realize that you're getting a lot better in the process. |

Then play cdj's once you learn to technical mix more and you will rock on them. just my opinion and hopefully some good advice for you:) oh yeah, watch other dj's mix, you can learn alot.
hey thanks for the advice, yeah i will try vinyl when i get a chance...
i bought these cdjs because i already had access to digital music
also this dood is supposed to give me some pointers soon... so this could be helpful
