Maschine is pretty awesome and has become my sketch pad since I got it (Mikro 1). The stocks are very good, but as others have said to find your center you need to tweak em. I like to go for melodies first because for me it takes the longest. I’ve found that 4-6 tracks of orchestration that I’m really vibing with gets me really hype once I add drums in the end! But the same isn’t true if I start with drums. I end up scrapping loads of stuff because it just doesn’t enhance what I have already. Just remember to enhance what you do track by track and scrap it the moment it looses shine.

Dubstep was my first choice in DJing because of its energy and I’ve been mixing it the longest of anything. My biggest tip for you or anyone else needing help is to match the snares…! They are the consistent feature in most songs. EQ your bass on the incoming track so it’s not present then on beat (8 count) swap basses and on beat again do what’s best for the mix to remove the outgoing track. Practice a few times and you’ll hear it’s the technique you hear in some of your favorite mixes by the big boys. To here it in action check out “Devil’s Den 4” on my site.

[email]discipleofnietzsche@gmail.com[/email] . Email me March 30th so I remember and I’ll make sure you get a slot for the April show. We’re pretty heavy on dub/electro; tech house would be sick. Trap music….*shudder*….. to each their own =D.

That would be totally awesome…! Thank you for the opportunity! Tech it is…! Lmao…no love for the Trap eh? I got hooked when I saw Crizzly last summer and Reid Speed banged up Soundstage in Baltimore before Skream shut it down…! It’s like my bridge between Hip Hop, which I’m often forced to play locally, and Dubstep. But again thanks and I’ll stay in touch.
