How to Mix Drum and Bass

[@prspktvmusic]

Quick tip as a D&B producer and DJ, ignore the kicks when beatmatching - lock those snares in!

[@kaisonbrett755]

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I love any help you can give me

[@kaisonbrett755]

@Adrien Caleb i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kaisonbrett755]

@Adrien Caleb it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

Great video... Small suggestion though... Don't use the crossfader for mixing... Keep it in center or thru mode and use the line faders... You have much better control. Crossfader should primarily be used for scratching and quick dropping out...

[@markdude2858]

I'll have the volume low and the low down if was gonna use crossfader and then vol up

[@sniitzel]

you are explaining everything nicely BUT I would love to hear more example (:

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Hey 👋 consider it done. Will be getting onto some dnb mixes soon

[@nononanonon]

A great tutorial, thank you! Maybe you could do a follow up dedicating more time to explain how you cue up tracks, sync them up, what parts you play and when you transition and so on.

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Consider it done! will create a part 2 version of this video at some point soon, thanks for the suggestion :)

[@nononanonon]

@@BeatmatchGuru thank you!!

I once mixed DJ zinc-ska with nas - New York state of mind in a bar. It was fun. On vinyl.

[@JAKMV]

haha - "on vinyl" Had to say it

[@badabingbadabong]

brilliant intro by someone who really understands their craft

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Thank you for your kind words

[@JordanHourGlassDJ]

Sooo, I came across your video because after years of dj'ing many genres from house to hardcore terror, I've always wanted to have explained to me the basics of mixing DnB. All I can say is FKIN THANKS BRO!!!!!!!!!!🍻🤘🏻🇺🇸🤘🏻😎😎

[@BeatmatchGuru]

That's an amazing comment, really appreciate that you know! Take it easy. Enjoy mixing DnB!

[@sarahxameliaable]

Such a great video. Thank you. This has really helped me. I can’t wait to watch some more!

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Brilliant, I'm glad the video tutorial helped you out. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for other videos that I can help you out with, D&B or DJing etc?

[@tylermcneil5239]

Jungle can be very difficult considering all the different break patterns.

[@trinitymesimenjume-ebong7734]

Yeah Im struggling with this too

[@adamabbey1652]

We wouldn’t have dark d n b without Ed rush, optical .

[@rabeahkarram9689]

What an amazing lesson I’m learning to mix DNB this was awesome : )

[@markdude2858]

Shadow boxing good to mix easy

[@frederik4404]

It would be nice if you 'd show how to practically do it.

[@jackmcknight662]

Good informative video for people starting out in the scene.

[@robinlukas4025]

1:35 that's called neurofunk

[@BigPeon]

Industrial metal can also fit the bill

[@Levi55921]

Thank you! I have that exact controller and rekordbox so your channel is going to be super helpful for a learning beginner!

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Hi Levi. Awesome!, great to hear. There's a few tutorials on the channel already. Are there any specific tips or advice that you'd like to learn from related to your DDJ-400 or DJing in general? Check out the Free eBook I've recently put on my website, there's a beginners DJ checklist to follow to help you along your DJing journey if you're just starting out. Thanks, Dan (Beatmatch Guru)

[@Levi55921]

@@BeatmatchGuru so when mixing and needing to move up the bpms so the transition to the next song can be better. It doesn’t let me move the bpms up or down unless I increase it or decrease it to its max or lowest point. Don’t know if that makes sense 😂

[@BeatmatchGuru]

@@Levi55921 Is the SYNC KEY pressed on? I've noticed that sometimes plays around with the tempo. OR try clicking on the symbol 'MT' so that it's grey instead of red. This stands for Master Tempo. Hope that helps :)

[@xavcoe235]

forgott to add that jungle isnt jungle without the reggea/raga/dancehall lyrics and melodies

[@milly9422]

Thank you, this is really helpful! 😊

[@jaydenclapman6550]

good video bro but u missed out rollers lol

[@mohdarif-pd5mf]

For 4×4 beat 01timewarp timestamp in your this KZbin video 00:05:56min/sec-00:06:36min/sec what software you use in your this KZbin video to make the beat For 4×4 beat 01timewarp?.

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Ableton is the software 😀

[@b05te1ejrb]

The video I've been searching for! THANK YOU!!!

[@t-and-kproductions2021]

i hope you see thi. i was just wonderingg what that lighting thing is under the track as im looking to find a way to automate lights to a song and that looks like that could be a way

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Heya, which part of the video do you mean?

[@t-and-kproductions2021]

@@BeatmatchGuru around 9:30 there's a lighting thing under the track I was curious to what that is

[@tlbagnall]

What about the pioneering sounds of Kasra's Critical label or just a foghorn with some snares like Serum circa 2018. Ye there's so many sub genres in dnb. God I love it 🤟👽👍

[@TheRazor5800]

I have so many questions to ask. And to clear doubts. Anyone here to help me ? Please 😢

[@nephretite6301]

Very good tutorial

[@akanonymoss]

It's the false drops that seem to catch me out when trying to match the phrasing, especially with unfamiliar tracks

[@kenzieellis5252]

what about rollers

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Yes mate, I love the rollers haha

[@paulfuchspaul1157]

[@pest5373]

Snares most important watch those snares

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Completely agree

[@alexbenecki3488]

dark and grotty

[@thekme81]

What about Neurofunk?

[@john-t_smith7781]

Why the use of the cross fader and not the volume faders? Is just your preference or a drum n bass wide transition? .

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Hey John-T_Smith, Yeah it's more of a preference really. I use the channel faders in other genres such as Garage for cutting between tracks. To be honest it's probably just a habitual thing. The choice is yours really.

[@loupbouchard1652]

Can be more subtile when you wanna cut or bring in another track. More smooth

[@kyleburns8597]

fell asleep 3 times

[@Vibrationz1]

Can I get the names of the dark side/tecky djs in the comments so I can copy and paste

[@Gehstryphfel]

Would mefjus be considered neurofunk?

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Heya - Yes Mefjus is Neurofunk, similar artists include Noisia, Phace, Enei, Misanthrop to name a few :)

[@57ashdot]

@1:50 its called neuro/neurofunk my dude

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Cheers mate 👍lol grotty bassline dnb as standard

[@fin3642]

What software do you use?

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Hey Fin I use Rekordbox on the DDJ-400 Pioneer Controller, and I also use Serato on my DVS turntable setup too.

[@fin3642]

You left out neurofunk

[@studiojohnny]

Just to save someone else time: this tutorial is for DJs not producers. It is not about how to mix a DnB track in a DAW.

[@grssu]

9:59 that's fucking red mate

[@grssu]

hmmm no might be orange yeah

[@grssu]

yeah my bad that's orange mate

[@grssu]

but not really bright orange yk, more like a reddish orange

[@samalam98]

I don't know about you but I think dnb is the easiest genre to DJ :p

[@craig6351]

You talk like me all the info is there it just doesn’t flow out your mouth very well 😅 great vid

[@BeatmatchGuru]

Love it 😊 usually jacked on coffee, maybe cutting back might help me out haha.
