How To Mix Drum & Bass | Track Structure | Beginner DJ Essentials
Музыка
This video is the first in a series aimed at helping beginner DJs develop an in-depth understanding of the essential concepts and techniques behind DJing.
It covers the basic theory of track structure in Drum & Bass, providing explanations of beats, bars and phrases as well as breaking down common track structures and timings.
If you're just getting started with DJing and would like additional feedback and guidance to improve your skills and build your confidence, I also offer online DJ lessons worldwide, as well as in person lessons, workshops & courses in London, UK.

@@kaiyosonics well as I'm still a beginner less than a month (currently using DDJ200 w/ WeDJ mixing old school D&B from 95-99, I'm fully set on moving up to the DDJ400 w/ Recordbox later in the year when I get a good enough laptop) with regards to videos maybe these would be good not only for myself but also for other viewers 1) the pros and cons of the different styles of D&B in terms of mixing for beginners. 2) what should a beginner be able to successfully and consistently do before becoming or being regarded as an intermediate. 3) having fun mixing, staying motivated and not feeling under pressure to achieve what others are capable of doing. 4) experimentation with different mixing styles, using the eq to your advantage and how to recover from a mix gone wrong without giving up. Hopefully these made sense and gives you some ideas for good content but ultimately whatever you do videos on I'm certain they'll be helpful to me at my stage regardless of what they are on

Yeah I do do 1:1 lessons, I'm based in London though. I'm from syd and will actually be back for a little bit in may, or I can also do online. Just depends if you're looking for in person lessons though and something a bit sooner?
I was able to mix years ago, sold my Technics, got some Stantons due to budget after 6/7 year's, just getting back into it at 50 lol, I tend to listen to the speed rather than count beats, it confuses me lol

yeah counting isn't for everyone, whatever works for you! you don't really need to count beats as you get more familiar with the music anyway
Can you do this for Dubstep and other genres in Electronic music?
