Hi all,
Before I start just want to add I used the search function on here and also google but couldn't really find any info.
Ive been listening to DNB and mixing all sorts of music for a few years now and have built up a good library over time from free DLs, to vinyl and beatport etc so I have a decent(ish) selection of tracks to choose from.
When mixing I try to stick to the harmonic mixing wheel and general rules of mixing (i.e. tracks with similar bpm, keys and not using tracks with vastly different sounds) but sometimes I feel when i play a mix back the mixing just doesn't sound right at all... I question whether I'm being too critical of myself but one thing I usually do is not mix from a pre-selected tracklist I just tend to let the first track play, pick a 2nd track, listen to it as the first tune is playing and mix it in either on the break, by double dropping or at some point towards the end of the first tune.
So basically... if you could offer any advice on how you select the next tune to mix in nicely or what you do to select tunes to go together that would be appreciated.
Cheers!
