im having trouble mixing electro for some reason. learned the hard way that you cant mix every genre the same way. i feel like with electro i have to slam the xfader into the next song and ive been trying it with a handful of songs but its not sounding right to me. so i thought id steal Ohmega's idea from the Trance forum and make this.
MIXING ELECTRO HOUSE
What do you look for in a track (beat structure, keys, BPM, melody)?
Where do you prefer to shop for tunes? Beatport, TrackItDown, Juno...
What transition methods do you use-and how long do you hold tracks together?
Crossfade or not to crossfade?
Gain knob or channel fader?
EQ settings for maintaining priority of sound, i.e. overlays?
Tricks you learned to get from deck A to deck B, C and D?
- pretty much how do you guys do it. i feel like i critique myself pretty harsh thats why i feel like my mixes arent even decent.
** and just for future reference, no flamers or bashing, this is meant to help me and everyone else that needs this **
