Do you always turn down the bass when mixing two songs..?

I find some dj's like turning down the bass of the outgoing song...do you do it too and why?

 

you dont always have to do that, there are a number of different ways that you can transition into a new song. the bass flip is just one of them, simple and quick.

 

I usually turn down the bass when both songs have high bass, it sounds terrible at partys. Especially when I use 2 bass'. I turn it down on the one I am already playing and keep it on the next song I'm transitioning to.

 

It depends on your transition. If the 2 songs have a heavy bass line turning the outgoing one down will help or else you can get a muddled sound. But there are many ways to transition and thats part of practicing and knowing what transitions you are capable of. The more transitions you can do the more versatile you will be.

 

Its depends on the songs you are mixing... different type of transitions require different techniques.... you can lower the bass a little, to get that full sound while the bass on the incomming track is normal...

 

depends, i like to do a bit of both

 

It really depends on the songs and how the bass lines blend...if you have 2 songs you're mixing you should ideally turn one down so that they don't clash/sound muffled...but as some of the guys said it's what effect in the mix you're looking for...

 

All depends on the song and the beat. If you could match it then dont worry about it but if you cant slightly turn it down without killing the riddim

 

DEpends on the song my dude... Sometimw yuh want it to blend or sneak in

 

No

 

Always use the EQ and faders together to create the perfect blend.

 

Do you always turn down the bass, u use your ears if there is need to

 

No only if it's too loud or distorted

 

Depends on your genre.
With EDM Genres such as Electro, House & Trance you should def be EQing bass, as well as highs & mids during your mix.
As for genres such as Reggae/Hip Hop there is no need, other than if your music collection is of various encoded bitrates/formats and you need to use your EQs to turn frequencies up or down to balance levels of tracks on your playlist.

 

it makes transition smoother
