first of all, don´t flame on me or anything, I yesterday finally found time to start practising DJing but am still at the very beginning and start understanding what the controls do.
I listened to some Angerfist Mixes (I aim mainly at mixing Mainstream Hardcore) and what I found out he seems to do is having 2 tracks and wait until one track screams something and than put in the drop of the other track (basically that can be done with the 2 volume faders I guess).
Another technique is also just when the climax of one track finishes he puts the break of another track in.
Only thing confusig me is how he can have three tracks going on. Like one plays a melody, than you hear the vocal of another and than the drop of a third track, but I will find that out with time.
And basically after he made the transition form one track to the other he chills behind the decks until one track finishes the climax and than he drops in another one again.
Here is an example of what his mixing sounds like:
Are there some other techniques used? Could you perhaps tell me what you do when mixing hardcore (live), so that I know what I have to practise? As said I hear no beatmatching, but that would also sound impossible to me, as the kicks have a certain pitch and when clashing I guess it would sound horrible.
Anyway, what I plan doing now is taking 4 Angerfist tracks which I know well, set some que points and than try to make the transitions as said, so that I can finally start actually mixing music. Yesterday I tried with house music but than I had 2 tracks playing at the same speed but completely different sounding melodies and thought oh wtf shall I do now..Hardcore seems easier to mix
