Im really new to mixing dnb, ive mixed most other kinds of electronic before until now.
My question is a really simple one for anyone who is familiar with mixing dnb...
Obviously this depends on the songs involved... But generally, at what point on the song that is playing on the speakers do you usually like to throw in the track you have cued on your headphones?
I notice in alot of mixes people will drop the cued tune right before the breakdown on the first tune so that the second tunes drop hits right as the breakdown finishes. This is good and all but I dont want to be breakdown mixing everytime.
This just seems to be my biggest problem right now, not really knowing when I should be throwing in that next track. Maybe I should be waiting until after the breakdowns right when the second drop hits?
I know I should just do whatever sounds good but just looking for some other opinions, hopefully that all made sense
