sammyhkhan Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe a stupid question, but it is one that I am struggling with at the moment as a beginner. How do you guys move from for example, 130BPMs to 133BPMs to 135BPMS within in one set? My obvious answer would be to adjust the BPMs to fit in mix and then re-adjust in one of the breaks to either increase or decrease the tempo... Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!

supergroover Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 just raise the tempo a little after you have made a mix. Could be done in a break but that is not necesarry if you do it slowly. 1 bpm difference doesnt have to be heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ov3rdos3 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 really slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEMO.BOFH Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 haha, I love the way Jeff Mills does it, just cuts the track at one beat, and then mixes the other track in with a scratch and faster we go... weeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Gradually. I wait for the silent moments in a track to re-adjust to parity then mix in something slightly faster (1 or 2 BPM) and repeat until achieving the desired tempo.

If the beat is going, people hardly notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauryn Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sometime i do it during the break, sometimes when there is a beat....it all depends on the track and the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the beat is going, people hardly notice I agree. I try to work it into near-silence. Some songs are too dense for this, in which case a slow climb in a mainly percussive section works best.

Jikkenteki Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Pretty much what everyone has said. Sometimes I very slowly ride the pitch for awhile while the track to thumping along. Sometimes I do it during the silence. If I want it more sudden for some reason I might do it quickly during the post break swell back into the heavy thumping. I occassionally do a sort of "live drop in" where I have the track qued un exactly where I want it to start, leave the fader up and just hit play right on the beat and sometimes I use this with a cut to suddenly drop into a newer faster track. Cofidence or a lack of caring if you screw up are nessecary for that one though. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
