When do you use that?

Not too often, occasionally at my desk when listening to new music, but mainly when I'm at Badger's house and he's drawing for the hardcore. I find it also helps me focus on the beats.

Badge uses something similar too iirc

Nice one, I'll look for an iphone equivalent.. that'll help when sorting my vinyls out.. I try to organise them part alphabetical part bpm.. atm I have a big crate of just obscure shit I've no idea what the bpm is.

[Riddles]

yeah it's not something i use a lot, but it comes in really handy when you do need it

Only really mix 140 but Imma download it in case I start buying D&B/Jungle records again and I start mixing that

[RKM]

anyone got advice for blending 140/double dropping

[syrup]

beatmatch, drop on 16s, switch the bass, gunfinger and a sip of red stripe

[syrup]

what specifically are you looking for?

[CreamLord]

In the breakdown of tune 1 begin playing tune 2
Make sure the amount of bars in tune 2s intro is the same as tune 1s breakdown

[RKM]

not sure haha, just stuff like running spongebob through stuff for ages, dropping a tune in as the second drop of tune one starts

take the bass down on both/take nearly all the bass out of one?

[CreamLord]

Personally I vary depending on what I'm mixing, like with Tortured as soon as it drops I'll put most of the bass in and almost all of the bass of the other tune out but with I dunno your eyes I usually have the bass knob midway on both tunes but then put your eyes all the way in after 32 bars

If I was blending any Coki tear out for a long time I'd have the volume lower on it and lower the bass.. can randomly EQ it in and stuff but for long blends its a bit overpowering. That or find something that'd sound good on top of it like the flute in Ruttan.. not saying it'd be good but something like that where you can EQ out the bass and everything just so the flute rides over the top of the other tune. Could maybe try high pass filter or something on Spongebob/any Coki tear out and slowly bring it in and out or something.

Apart from that I've no idea, I normally use Cokis own formula of wheel out the last tune and drop then multiple gun fingers.
