I was taught with Drum and Bass, you use the snare and high hat to count the beat versus a kick or bass line. First, a snare or high hat is a sharp fast sound and can be used quickly to beat match with; and second, a lot of bass lines in Drum and Bass don't follow the beat count, but might still follow the bar count.
Hello I am someone who loves music and ever since I got into... electronica and of course I feel in love with trance which has friendly beats to blend, but when I heard Apache "Original Nutta" I was hooked, then it just got me hooked, and ever since I got Algoriddim's DJ 2 for my Amazon fire kindle I have been practicing ever since I got this 2 years ago, I have a lot of music to play with and I have been practicing with D&B, I think I'm getting better (probably not) because I keep clashing my tracks like a train wreck, so I really do appreciate your time and also giving the names of the tracks, now I have a 7 & 1/2 inch screen to work with, I wish I had your set up, I just love the CDJ's, most of my music was on CD's but now my music is on a bunch of micro SD cards, now I have been practicing with D&B on the DJ 2 app, but I cannot seem to get used to the UI (User Interface). But I also have sausage fingers with such a small screen, I was wondering about the equalizer controls of the mixer portion, I am so used to the trance beats, transitions Que's, and some mixes I have done have come out quite nicely where as others are a complete mess, so I was wondering if you have a tablet to try out ANY DJing apps on the market, because I no longer have to carry any crates or books of music, I have a 64 Gigabyte micro SD card for my tracks, but do you have a really super basic "How 2 DJ D&B 101"? I'm going to go thru your entire channel to see what you definitely have on this, I also again just wanted to take the time to thank you for what your doing and also thanks for the track listings as well I'm definitely going to be practicing with these 2 tracks, so can you help out a fellow enthusiast of music to help me get spot on with the transition's and with how the equalizer plays into the mix itself as a whole... Now I have seen where DJ's have been using 3 decks to mix and blend multiple tracks ie deck 1 and deck 2 playing at the same time and then mixing deck 3 into the mix and basically starting that whole process over depending on where the 1st track is played ie deck 1... So I just want to be able to nail this Drum & Bass mix that I have in my head for a long time, so please keep up the great job on your videos! I just cannot seem to get my tablet to sound like your set up, so if you do or do not have a tutorials on specifically the mixer portion with how the EQ is supposed to help the mix would be greatly appreciated! I have subscribed to your channel and will be waiting more from you. Again thank you. Across the pond soundsurgen.
Well you will never get your tablet to sound like this guys setup. Compare the price, compare the size, compare the features and quit trying to achieve the same. Now I don't want to say quit completly, I just mean that you cannot do the same on a tablet. If you have a PC you could get Mixxx 2 (it's free) and buy some cheap used controller on ebay or something. Thats a huge upgrade to a tablet app
Just got some new vinyl turntables after selling my technics back in the day, sound like a heard of elephants at the moment trying to mix jungle / DnB lol
Thanks for the tips & I hope you still keep on posting these videos ,I'm using CDs 1000 mk3, the only thing I seem to struggle with is the loops, I can loop on one deck and play the other both matching bpms- but always find 1 differs from the other, is this normal or is it something I'm not doing correctly, hope you can correct me on this - and thanks again
Being a drummer pretty much allowed me to skip all of the counting steps. That helps, now there is the part where you practice modulating, eq-ing and not fucking up
Just revisited this fab vid yet again - by one of the best dj tutors on the Web.
Goosebumps and a helluva rush everytime I watch this!
Don’t know if you still have this channel and see these comments but this video helped me so much thank you
I love how he's passionate about it
17:40 i could watch over and over
he is such a legend XD

This applies more to vinyl than anything

18:45 actually such a sick drop :D
TBH, I didn't expect it to drop so well. It sounds like one tune.
I subbed the very second you went all chicken! Im new to DJ'ing started on the numark mixtrack platinums and having so much fun.
which headphone is that?
Ive only been watching your videos a few days but I think they're brilliant, thank you so much for your help!
Thank you! I'm learning on my own, and this video was great to get some theory from.
Same dude, his shit is lit 😜
Mental! I came here because I was having trouble mixing this exact tune 😀
that’s amazin!
Where have you been all this time!!? Subscribed 3
Love the videos you fumbled but that’s what I like to see real technique in real time cheers 🥂
Powerful mix!
Ha!
18:45 is So nice!

Just got some new vinyl turntables after selling my technics back in the day, sound like a heard of elephants at the moment trying to mix jungle / DnB lol
i love your energy😍🔥

and youll get perfect crowds creaming their knickers....best bit
Nailed it 😎 boom!
skip to 17:30 thank me later
thanks bro lol
HAHAH "creaming of knickers". Thanks for all videos and tips. Very much appreciated.
wow you are great teacher!
7 mins until you pressed play, jeez I learnt to beatmatch on belt driven turntables quicker than that.

definitely. i can usually find where i am if i lose count of something in songs because of drumming
Awesome video bro, your wicked funny man.... :)
I love this guy 🤣
fair play mate!!!!!!!!!!! got it!!!
Shameless plug. Get on with it, fam.
MentholLungs cmon man, it's his channel and these videos are basically free...
i love u man
Good haha m8 🐣🐣
so basiclly for general mixing count every 8 bars or 32 beats to time the song your going to mix :)
Most of the time. That would be the start of a set. Now the break generally contains 16 bars most of the time.
man that was entertaining :')
Lol this was to amusing but tragic cheers I needed cheering up! pfft
Hahaa man u're cool n funny!
ive been mixing this genre for about 2 years i hope i dont have to re learn
always count by snares!
why?
theburningnoob because like he says, kicks can be temperamental so counting by snares means youll always be in time
Got it. Thanks!
Sometimes snares aren't always on time
the snares are usually on the 2 and 4 beat
Thanks Bro :D
hello Steve o hahah
Is it a coincidence he’s only mixing garbage tunes?
