HOW TO DOUBLE DROP MODERN DUBSTEP like Kompany, Barely Alive, and Virtual Riot. 

Literally same bro! Haha this is so good. I'm coming from a DDJ200 to XDG-XZ LOL

sync is the only way for doubles/triples/quads imo because if a kick transient is slightly off the whole thing is ruined (which is why i analyze all my tracks in rekordbox as well). no one cares about sync that's actually successful in the scene its just the people that want to project on others and make it seem like they are superior at doing a task. I asked protohype in an upcoming video what he thought and he said he could care less who uses it. your job is to entertain your crowd and you do that how you seem fit :)

​@@wheystedmusicman another great insight. Shit I found a new DJ to follow closer. Done, done and done. Haha

​@@wheystedmusicMan I want to speak with you about that. I see a lot of people that don't even use an headphone ? Did they use the return or sync ??

More than likely. but if you plan your sets out with markers and cue points you can see everything you need to visually. so they could just be doing that@@stem7141

@PhoenixMusicOfficial It's just a typo

Thanks dude! Glad it helped’ 🙏

Better late than never 👊 thanks for watching 🙏

Also fucking nasty my guy! I actually slowed down your video to .75x and it seemed to help me a bit. I’m definitely newer to djing/producing

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped 🙂

If your chopping I would say full sub is optimal. But as soon as you double I would highly recommend just having whatever your front track is to have the sub. This really only matters at clubs and festivals where the system can clip and damage the equipment. Virtually who cares have fun 😎

@@wheystedmusic yep 4 sure! Ill leave the mids and highs on 12 oclock...totally get ya.

Usually starting the intro of the next song as the outro is playing out on the current track works for me

I like throwing on a spiral and back spinning as the spiral effect starts . Leaves an echoing scratch sound. Sounds so sick

Let’s go!!! 🤝

Thanks for watching! Hope it helped 🙏

I believe it’s just default

They sure can! Circle of fifths is great for finding what can be cohesive together!

Glad it helped!

I've been "dj'ing" since 2019, as far as doubling goes usually you always want them in the same key otherwise it won't mesh well. (not always but most the time. if you know music theory well then you can bend this rule.) Always when bringing a track in at a buildup switch the low ends during the build, otherwise they will get really muddy. when doubling/tripling/quad dropping always only have one sub at a time playing and cut the others. choose which you want to be most upfront and allow it to keep it's sub! hope that helps! and thanks for checking out the video!

By default you have a memory cue saved at the start of the track. You need to delete that one if you don’t want it to to start from the beginning (even if you have other memory cues set)

Love the tune dude 😎

SoundCloud is a great resource because all the free DL you can find. Other than that, I get a lot of my music from producers. But if I want a song and I can’t find it for free on SC or hitting up the producer, then I’ll use beatport.. What you can also do if you are starting out. Is use RU-vid to MP3 sites and take songs from YT. HOWEVER these files are not loseless, which means if you play them on club speakers they will sound hollow and weak compared to others. So never use ripped files for live sets. (This is kind of a controversial topic, but if you are just using it to practice at home then buy the songs you want for your live sets, then I think it’s a good middle ground so you aren’t spending $100’s on songs just to learn)

@@wheystedmusic well said, thank you!

It depends. Sometimes SoundCloud, sometimes I reach out to the artist personally and ask, or I make them myself.

SC has a lot of gems that you can get free downloads from DL/follow gates. Other than that beatport is great but usually cost $.70-$1 a track

Drop a time marker

If they are unreleased the only way to get it is to have them send you the unreleased. Which for that to happen, got to know somebody in the friend group haha

@@wheystedmusic what if they are released songs? Would I have no choice but to use like, the SoundCloud option in serato to play most released dubstep songs ? Just cause like the record pools don’t have really a vast selection at all. I got dj city bro , they got but one maybe two subtronics songs 😩 but I haven’t been lookin to play unreleased , I mean that would be cool if I could get to know connections like that - just don’t know the ways. But for example - subtronics just dropped omnidirectional a few days ago. How would I be able to play that unripped from SoundCloud ?

@@av4ryww6 beat port

closest I've come to that is Psytrance hybrids

I actually don’t have any good info for that. Usually I just go crate digging (searching for new tunes from other producers, hyppedit, SoundCloud , etc) before a show, and analyze those new tracks in rekordbox and those will give you keys, and I’ll mix them accordingly

I use VDJ (I know, I know, not the best, but it’s what I’m comfortable with) and they have options to show the key of a track, not sure how it works for other softwares, but I’m pretty most if not all softwares have this option. Sometimes, the algorithm mistakenly gives the wrong key though, so you have to watch out for that. Most of the time, tracks that are a perfect fifth away from one another in key (C & G or F#m & C#m) tend to work well with one another. A lot of tracks in heavy dubstep, brostep, briddim, and riddim tend to be atonal, meaning there’s not really a discernible key after a certain point. I mix a lot of Minatory and Deathstep, and those tend to be atonal in a lot of places as well. Doubling in more melodic and harmonic forms of bass music like color bass, neoriddim, synth wave, downtempo, drumstep, DnB, etc requires a little knowledge on key matching in addition to what’s talked about in this video. I would recommend downloading a Circle of Fifths chart, that would help with an understanding of what keys match up. Hope this helps 😊.

@@yeln4tsmusic Rekordbox and Serato deff have key recognition in the software! i put mine in the circle of 5th but comes stock in just saying what key its in (example A# minor). One thing I wanted to touch base on about your comment is Dubstep tracks still pertain to their key in their drops. maybe their basses are slightly a tonal but your sub will always be tonal in any bass music. so it is important to mix in key for those as well (because once your out of the drop you want to make sure the musical elements are mixed together properly, or even double dropping tracks because usually their is something tonal in the drops like a sustain or something if the basses aren't.) Circle of fifths is goated tho! Great input! appreciate you commenting (also no one cares what you mix on, as long as your having fun that's what matters 😊)

@@wheystedmusic You were right, I forgot about the intros, midsections, and outros, I more meant for like triples and quads.

What do you mean?

Idk the female vocals mixed like weird or something. But I do see what you were going for. I hope to know how to do it soon myself.

Like the ones in the video?

@@wheystedmusic yes, if you can, it would be appreciated

@@micheledalmonte740 they are labeled in the video. 🙏

@@wheystedmusic sorry 😅

could you do a video on the techniques of transitions ?

Turning it up in your daw really won’t help if it’s Ripped and ahas quality loss. The sub will still sound weaker than your mids and highs. Which sucks because if people don’t get to sound check and someone sent them ripped plates it can’t be caught practically

Glad you enjoyed it!

really wish you had alot of more videos just like this! I want to dive into experimental bass and the wide tempo changes within that genre makes it more difficult than just your typical dubstep
