The Drum & Bass Thread (formally Drum 'n' Bass is dead?)

[midifidler]

Cool - we just started a similar night at our favourite wine & tapas bar - had our first a month ago - and our second this weekend. Very good excuse to play those tunes which just dont work on the d floor

Good point. Actualy i think it's not all that bad with this sound... it's like with dubstep, if you wanna rock the dancefloor, you gotta slam the tune.. no fancy EQing and shit, just plain ol' slam it, and have MC to help you out. Then it works...

best part is usualy when audience has no idea if they are listening to dubstep or DnB , then you slam deep DnB track (like that Oak - Tsunami, or Rockwell - Underpass) to set them straight.

I find with dnb it doesnt lend itself very well to slow long drawn out mixes where you slowly etch the volume fader up - well not with my mixing style anyway.

I get the best results with hard cuts into tracks with the volume fader already most of the way up - thats not to say you cant have a long mix between tracks, its just that i find it sounds best when you cut in the tracks hard and fast.

i agree, i cut sharp and hard when performing, but "studio" mixes i do the other way around.

If you listen to dnb tracks, elements don't really fade in and fade out at all like with other genres of music out there - well you could probably find more chilled dnb that does this but certainly not with the intense techy stuff you guys know i like to mix

The elements kinda just jump in and jump out, so i keep to that kinda style with my mixing so it sounds consistent with the tracks i play. It makes things a bit harder cause you cant feel your way up to the right volume, you pretty much gotta get it right in your headphones to start with then slam the cross-fader quickly into the middle.

Whatever works though, we all got our own style of doing things
