levels or internet friends

same, played at world bar and the dub room was fucked and flooded from heavy rain, so we moved the dub room to the third floor, spent ages trying to get enough speakers to work, then stacy from glovecats just goes 'dude pump it up as much as you can, your gonna need all the volume you can get

ok basically when you get into both, look for any tech notes pasted up like 'please do no touch high eq's' etc as there may be problems with the mixer what not. if everything is all clear, 95% of the time the dj before you is going to have the master up in the red's. bring it down, and dont ever turn it back up unless someone from the club or technical team orders you to for some reason. next with the eq's generally they are only used for cutting away freq's. But in the case that a track has had a bad mixdown/master you can use the mid's and high's to accentuate the higher frequencies and make them come out a bit more if the track is sounding to muddy through the soundsystem though. that wont happen to often though if like you say the knobs are all the way to the right, correct them to 12, and if the volume drops, have a look at rthe lights, and if the light is sitting way below the reds, push up the gain untill its hitting just above green. making sure the master dosent hit the red either.

the way i mix now is by incoming track in headphones, 1 ear cup off and then using the booth monitor to beat match.

welcome to the forums champ

you beat me in everything but plays probaly cause i have like 20 tracks uploaded. quit being so fucking good!

Bump n Grind. from that i take it you use logic? and are using the in built samples of the ultrabeat? if so......dont..haha. its very very hard to make a quality track using the sounds in those kits. your going to want to grab a sample pack from the likes of Vengeance or Loop Masters. mainly being Essential house vol 1, 2 and 3 from vengeance have great drum samples. Also to make a full sounding drop. You will want to try and fill up as the Frequency spectrum, but dont have anything overlapping. e.g if you just have something really bassy and no synth's hitting higher frequencies, you can risk having the drop sound very dull, as you just have this powerfull lowend bass and nothing to compliment it. Also if you have this great melodic synth/chords but you have no Low end, its going to sound weak and empty. you need to find a good balance between the 2.

i tend to go to sydney fish markets.....they sell the biggest bass's the bigger the bass the bigger the drop. BOOM!!!

if you pay 500 for a logo ill shit on your face id pay no more then 150.
