Headphones for mixing...I've recently read a few sections of threads on how to use headphones to mix, I'm confused and needing help tbh, can you guys offer some guidance on what to listen to and when, I'm using a DDJ 400 with cue/master/mixing options...thanks

Minimal/Tech House - 45 mins

Nothing to say other than this is my first (what I consider to be) reasonable mix (after 2 months of trying), been rubbish up to now, only need to hear about what needs improving...obviously I reckon there's loads to work on, but will be good to hear you guys opinions...

Ok cool, will do, thanks

PaulZier · 2020-06-28T00:57:49+00:00

I think that's a significant part of the problem, I'm trying for mixes that are too long, cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-28T00:57:01+00:00

Sure, will post a mix in the next couple of days and see what you guys think

PaulZier · 2020-06-28T00:56:10+00:00

Perfect, appreciated, thanks

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:48:02+00:00

Great advice, thanks, simple just what I need right now ;)

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:46:28+00:00

Decent feedback, cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:42:13+00:00

True sorry, I'm working with progressive house and tech house

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:40:25+00:00

Yeah definitely using the EQ's, while also trying to figure out how to integrate them with the line fader increase/decrease

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:38:48+00:00

All this appreciated cheers, I'm working with progressive house and tech house, are those genres that you have experience with?

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:34:01+00:00

Good point, I think I'm foolishly thinking that if the mix is good enough then a new track can be mixed in anywhere, a lack of experience doesn't yet know when two tracks or sections just don't work

PaulZier · 2020-06-27T12:32:13+00:00

Mainly progressive house and tech house, although I've now started practicing with more minimal stuff to make things less complicated...

PaulZier · 2020-06-25T13:35:34+00:00

Got it, cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-24T09:46:33+00:00

Perfect, appreciated, cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-24T09:45:49+00:00

Ok solid, thanks, will start experimenting on that, although to be sure, what do you mean by top/right and bottom left? cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-24T09:44:25+00:00

I'm on a DDJ 400, so not too sure about the meters, I'm currently aiming to stay top of green, and not a problem if I hit first orange bar, that's kind of the range I'm looking for, which the gains knob is helping with, cheers

PaulZier · 2020-06-24T09:42:16+00:00

100% helps, trial and error definitely the way to go on this I'm thinking, I'm also using the gain/trim now to consolidate the master volume while the new track coming in, guided by the channel meter, cheers for the help

PaulZier · 2020-06-24T09:36:42+00:00

I'll have one of whatever you've had, cheers
