| Merlyn Birchfield 30.11.2013 | Riding the pitch, mixing into a steady loop, and not dragging it on too long = all great suggestions. Yes, you can mix them... they will just sound a little more "live" on account of the tracks being a little more.... er.... live. |
| Randal Biza 29.11.2013 | This is one of my favorite genres to mix. I used to use Ableton Live to make the tracks perfectly gridable. But it's so time consuming, so instead I just learned to beatmatch manually. It's just easier, but you won't be able to do elaborate mixes by looping sections of the song. I usually do relatively short mixes of 8 to 16 beats. Works well. |
| Augustine Mitzen 29.11.2013 | just bang it in, don't drag out mixes for too long |
| Hank Guidas 29.11.2013 | Heavy filter usage can help too. Here's a vid which may give inspiration. Done with vinyl though |
| Maile Dekerlegand 29.11.2013 | or just use SDJ and stretch the elastic beat grid |
| Tania Somppi 28.11.2013 | Or use beat tap to tap in the beat when you need it. Don't use a wireless mouse or keyboard to tap in the beat tho as they generally have quite high latency. |

| Lakeesha Storman 28.11.2013 | Ride the pitch... |
| Lawana Mileto 28.11.2013 | Yes, beatmatch manually. |
| Jetta Drenzek 28.11.2013 | I assume the confusion for you is the fact that the beatgrids are not accurate due to the tempo drifting. Unfortunately, Traktor does not allow flexible beatgrids and as such you have either two options A) the old school way; You manual adjust the bpm using a jogwheel or whatever chosen method you have of pitch bending, like you would if you mix anything by ear. B) The new school way; You use a program like Ableton to warp and stretch the song into perfect alignment, allowing Traktor to accurately beatgrid it. |
| Josef Modine 28.11.2013 | Yes of course, i don't see how this would be any different from any other genre? |
