Songs you can't mix

[dsprainman]

Skream - Field of Emotion is very hard to mix with the weird snare every two bars on the 2 thing.

[R0WR0W]

noone really cares you dont know how to fucking detect a time signature or count fucking beats fuck off and learn some pedestrian music theory, or else I'll ask you what a german augmented sixth chord is bitch...... fuck damnnnnnnnnnn

[nobody]

There's a Dawn Day Night tune called Scorpio or something, tricky one

[CreamLord]

Commodo and lurka - airtight
Only cause my copy skips like mad after the drop

[rorz9992]

Kromestar - Mental Universe

Listening to it my brain thinks the snare should be off-beat, then when it switches up after so many bars you realise the snare is supposed to be on the beat, it's just a very awkward (but great) tune.

[syrup]

i have trouble even just listening to it

[skins345669]

I know it's not dubstep, but I'm sure the drops in this are wonky

[RKM]

fucking kode9 bad, stupid fucking heavy 4th when everything else is heavy 3rd

and pev- junktion and infinity is now, every time i think i got it in the headphones i check the speakers and it's become the Kickpocalypse

[CreamLord]

Las - Your Eyes,

Mixing out of this is frustrating cause I have like no records that sound good when mixing out of it, also there might be an extra bar somewhere in the segment directly before the pure sub bit, but that might just be me being retarded

[RKM]

i love mixing that tune actually...find it goes nicely with a lot of stuff, think i did it with rsd- good energy this evening and it was kinda funky

[jrkhnds]

Your Eyes is a sick tune. but I think it sounds a bit gash when sped up to ~145, which is where I usually play my sets at. same with Goat Stare, but I think that one's already pretty slow to start with.
I just prefer playing more techno or funky informed tunes. J:kenzo - conquerer sounds actually really sick at ~145 for example and segues nicely into (or out of) Den Of Drumz.

[RKM]

i like to mix sped up too, usually +1/2 though, 140 tunes just seem to skip along a bit better at that tempo mixed for me personally, and really try and avoid slowing anything past 0, find that makes almost all tunes sound sluggish, like mixes that follow the same approach like kode9 and plastician (iirc. it's been a while since listened to one)

[jrkhnds]

+3 is the way to go. get them hi-hats shufflin'.

[CreamLord]

Mixing at around +2 and +3 makes everything sound so much better (for 140 at least)

[jrkhnds]

not everything imho. Coki - Officer and a couple of other, mainly older tunes need the slower pace to unfold properly.

[Riddles]

officer is like 143 anyway.

[CreamLord]

Well most tunes anyway

[RKM]

distance's changes remix i really don't like at all at normal speed but sped up it's a weapon
your eyes too

[CreamLord]

A lot of Skream tunes sound sick when sped up

I usually just kill the last record playing and throw this on at the end of a set.

Looks like the person the uploaded to youtube at 45 rpm...perhaps that's my problem...
