Dubstep?! Sif you'd mix that!

Seriously, it's all up to you. Do whatever you think sounds best.

Personally, I think different approaches work better with certain tracks than other tracks and the more you experiment the better you develop a sense for what works and what doesn't.

i put a post up teh other day like this...i think dubstep is great 4 layering and mixing over each other, keepin the 1st track goin even when the 2nd has broken down and starts to kick off ahain!!

better than dnb 4 it i reckon, maybe the beats are just smoother...well i say beats, maybe cus they are slower, not so much clanging

Layers....not so much cutting.

Bit of everything, although I wouldn't recommend having both basslines playing at the same time.

usualy but if you have certain basslines and trim them right it can sound freaking badass

Yeh, two big basslines can sound fucking awfull. Ive never experienced it, but two tracks which dont fit together must feel horrible when you step back and feel the sub.

Two less "in your face" tracks often work well together though, imo.

sometimes i just mix the intro in and then when the tune drops cut it, or sometimes i have them both playing, but alot i have them both playing, and turn one of the bases off, so i have a trebal on 1 track, a bass from the other, then on the bars i would swap them and just play round like that

Well done Wobbleman. You are officially braindead. 9/10

Try 2 turntables, a mixer, some vinyls. and a hand.
If you can't grasp it from there just private message me.

You Dj aswell?

This aint the question, but i think the best way to learn beyond beatmatching is to practice with someone.
Anyone wanna hook up in Manchester...all my mates cant DJ.

Also, recording your own and listening to everyone elses.

recording your sets over and over . . .
thats the only way you will know how it sounds live . . .

an other good thing would be more feedback from other djs!
not just bigup and badman selection . . .
more djs should work to find their own style!
and for that you need feedback . . .

Its pretty much essential IMO. I can hardly ever tell if my mixes are good or not as I'm concentrating too much on what I'm doing.
