Songs you can't mix

planet dust is a mission

planet dust is a mission

Indeed it is, extra 2 bars at the start are a bitch coupled with the very long intro

[DOOVD]

if you guys use cdj's you can just edit the track on audacity. my version of planet dust drops after 4 *16 bars right at the exact place i want it, cut all the other shit

Mate you're not meant to mix the intro. The 'duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh dudududududu' fits in the last 2 bars before wherever you wanna start the mix from. Every time the noise comes in you make it slightly louder it's a piece of piss honestly.

[Papa Jaro]

This is a real pain in the ass intro..

Fucking drop though.

[Jwood27]

skeptical and dub phizix - 4

what is the point of an intro with nothing in. just noise and not even noise i can try and mix harmonically argh

[The Watcha]

Case in point at the moment: June Miller feat Mindmapper - Quartz Controlled. Really fucking me off too because I love the tune

Easy to mix. Standard rolling drums & nothing like the odd 8 bars in there in the intro.

mine is basher - androids, can never get that intro right!

There is a beat on the last 16 bars you just got to listen to it extra carefully, or mix it from the drop.

oblique... :/

I mix it from the drop 2 x 16 & 1 x 8 bars & bring it in when the vocal kicks in

jubei outcast. should be easy. just cant do it!

Jubei - cold one remix.. for some reason always 1 bar out.!

Has 3 x 16 bars which fade on towards the end of the last 16. Just needs to be on point before you get there

Stigma is a pretty easy one

Rags is ok. Just need to be on point with the elements in the intro that make up the beat

Rockwell - Shards

Shards is easy if you mix it in from the right place

Also, I mainly mix Four from the drop & just fade it in at the end of 16 bars.

For me its got to be Planet Dust. I just end up switching it at the odd extra bit near the drop.
Also Walls Of Jericho. Not terribly fond of that tune, so I'm not fussed. Just mix Snapecase instead

[foibleep]

Blawan - Getting me Down. There's barely any build and that halfbeat percussion is always roughs up my mix! Anyone else have the same problem with this tune?

[sam the dnb man]

Mistanoize is one of few mixes I have heard where it is completely clean in the mix, when mixed from the start.

He put high hats on the intro I think

[Sicx]

^ Yeah Shards always used to confuse me, ive played it so much i know where to mix it in from now though.

DJG - Hydration Dub completely throws me, dont think i've ever got it right.
System - Peach Fuzz is another one, only cuz I wanna start it from the first sound, but theres a little (2 bar?) gap beforehand.

[Sicx]

Actually come to think of it the flip, System - Voices, i get wrong alot of the time as well...

[Dubsta]

oblique... :/

sabre's remix of the touch by mortem

no way.....intro mix is easy, just make sure you dont miss the break.

[Dubsta]

i used to always play "babylon must fall" from the top, because i was too lazy to mix it....hard work

[ZackMRG]

Don't know why but 'take me away' always seems to fuck me over, it should be so simple but the timing always throws me...

As for Planet Dust I've honestly never had a problem with it, one of the tunes I draw for quite often though I guess so I know what sort of pitch I'm listening out for.

[ApeCat]

Loadstar - Hit the Ground.

There aren't really any dodgy beats or anything, there's just something about the mixing or mastering or whatever makes it stick out like sore thumb every time I try mixing it..
