i cant work out in my head which tunes drifting ahead/behind of the other then when i do work it out its still impossible to get them both in sync

i over-correct too much everytime, to the point i can never ever get the right pitch.

bullshit

not to sound patronising but what's your mixing like sober? i can't beatmatch half as good as i can when i'm tanked

my mixings fine when im sober...i like it

soon as i have a smoke though i just find it really impossible...might just roll smaller joints cos i dont wanna get monged out

My hands seem to shake when im stoned and try mixing.

Snypa's mixing tips: don't mix jump up dnb stoned: just a bad combo.
Do mix the, 'dungeon sound', when you're high. The mood a good spliff puts you in makes you especially resceptive to being remarcably creative (and shit at using your keyboard) and this is essential to a decent, 'dungeon sound mix'.

Always mix ukfunky stoned! We all know that 9 times out of ten, being stoned puts you in the mood for fun and you get into fun things a lot more than sober, Ukfunky is fun to mix. Infact, it is so much fun that your sense of enjoyment and disregard for rules of mixing whilst, somehow, managing to mix perfectly; is conveyed directly to your listeners.

Bit too high right now to communicate through language effectively so i'll go and record a 15 min minni mix to demonstrate my point then up it on here

thats nonsense, its not like that at all. talk to any musician that plays on any instrument to a high standard and they'll tell you that sometimes it just works and sometimes it just doesnt. same with sports men, writers, actors, comedians, fucking anything. god damn its the same with riding a bike - sometimes you fall off, sometimes you dont. its all about your state of mind, energy levels, concentration, enthusiasm etc etc etc.



i generally find if the first mix doesnt come off then the whole thing is doomed. often i'll try one tune, fuck it up and just stop and leave for a bit. only problem is you cant really do that in a club...

yeah definately, thats bang on

and im the same, if the first mix is shit then it automatically puts a downer on it all and just makes me think "fuck it, whats point in putting the effort in now if ive already fucked it up".
mostly i dont give a fuck and just carry on like normal though, depends what mood im in

Sorry if you's can't mix

and as if your implying that making two tracks play at the same speed is in any way comparable to playing an instrument, let alone to a high standard

also as if your implying that you could just forget how to ride a bike

multiple lols

what you mean to say is that you can't handle your shit

no i'm not saying its comparable to playing an instrument to a high standard, what i'm saying is EVERYBODY has off days, except you by the sounds of it. would you have me believe that since you learned how to beat match you've never got it wrong, not once, never? i find that hard to believe.

There's nothing quite like sparking up when I start my mix so that Im nicely toasted by the time I'm a few tracks into it, i seem to be able to find the right mood/atmosphere for the mix if i'm a bit lean

implying that your post is constructive and not just implying that i cant mix

mixing, when afterglowing works super well.. anyone made the same expirience?

been on them today fully sober and my mixing was fine

I mix stoned a lot, seem to get a lot more enjoyment out of both leisures when i combine them. The creativity seems to flow 110%. If i'm mixing with a friend I'll get time to smoke during it (bongs, can't smoke joints inside) otherwise one or two beforehand and i'm good. Only downside I find if something starts to go wrong i have difficulty keeping a clear head... more prone to doing something stupid like pulling out the tune and retrying only to run out of time, or lifting the needle off the wrong tune. First day i got my decks & first lot of vinyl i had a fat smoke before trying them out, managed to stack two vinyls on top of each other and mix a tune that way before realising.

nope. almost all of my club sets, radio sets and recorded mix CD's have been done under the influence of green. Zoners...
