I certainly was mixing ‘main parts’ at first, but not now. I’ve not had time to practice for a while thanks to my controller developing a fault, but, is it quite normal to have to adjust the faders then? The reason I ask is the same as before; that every single video I’ve seen – professional DJ or not – people seem to be able to simple kill the bass and play two tracks together, without an increase in volume.
With my controller and Cross DJ, that’s impossible, but I did take the advice in here and try it with Virtual DJ, and the problem still seemed to occur (though I don’t think it was as noticeable).
How do people keep a rolling bassline if they’re having to pull track 1 down a bit, while raising track 2? Every time I try that, there’s a noticeable drop – or ‘dullness’ – in the bass. I mean, with the bass killed and the hi down about 5%, I can still only bring that track up to about 75% before the VU going into the red.
Is there an issue with digital DJing compared to analog?
Also, in reply to another post above; it’s not my speakers. I’ve tried my laptop speakers, hi-fi speakers, USB speakers, going directly through an amp – the problem still occurs. I honestly have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I seem to have exhausted every possible option. Even if I gain each track correctly, there is a war between the two of them and the VU goes into the red.
