New to mixing drum 'n bass...problems! Help! Recently I have been interested in starting to get into mixing drum 'n bass. I come from a progressive house/trance/electro house background and feel quite comfortable with those genres...but drum 'n bass is giving me heck. The main problem for me is simple EQ transitions. Unlike progressive, the volume isn't necessarily primarily in the lows...it seems to be more in the highs and mids. However, I'm learning that the lows are still necessary to cut for when a new track comes in. The thing is though, if I cut the highs AND the lows of a new track...I can barely hear it coming in. I don't know where the real punch of the track is so when I try to do a low transition where I fully bring in the low and cut the one of the old track...I hardly notice it. If I slightly reduce the lows and highs it's just too loud and goes into the red. Simply put I need some help on learning how to do basic transitions for DnB. Another thing, I find that if I am playing one DnB track at standard EQ along with another in which the lows are cut...it's way too loud. In general when I am playing 2 tracks it's way too loud. The only way I can reduce the master volume is to reduce the volume of one track...but then I can't play 2 songs simultaneously with EQ changes for a dynamic mix. However if I cut the highs and the lows of the new track completely...it's way too quiet and I can barely notice the new track! Basically it's a clusterf**k of volume issues. Can somebody give me a bit of a lesson here to help me out? I'd really appreciate it. Btw I tend to listen to liquid DnB...stuff kind of like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjwN3B617tg or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d7JVXu9bac So not super bassy but not ALL highs... Help! | |
