Acapella Mixing and How DJs Layer Vocals Over a Beat
You drop a famous vocal over an instrumental, the room recognises it for half a second, and then something sounds wrong.
Producer and mix engineer
Dex builds sets and mixes tracks for a living, and writes about the technical side of DJing most beginner guides skip entirely.
Mixing and Technique
You drop a famous vocal over an instrumental, the room recognises it for half a second, and then something sounds wrong.
Genres and Crate Digging
A guest hands you a request for a jersey club remix, you drop it straight out of a 100 BPM hip hop track, and the floor stops...
Mixing and Technique
You have two tracks that will not blend cleanly. The kicks clash, the vocals fight and the EQ alone is not hiding it.
Club and Nightlife
You walk off a four hour club set and your ears are ringing so loudly that the drive home sounds like it is underwater.
Genres and Crate Digging
You drop a UK garage track after 20 minutes of straight house, and the floor stumbles.
Mixing and Technique
Two kick drums and two basslines playing at once is the fastest way to turn a clean blend into mud.
