It's sometimes not a bad idea to make sure some of that "old knowledge" is still accurate, so let's get back to basics: adjective declensions with definite articles. To make it as easy as possible, remember the following three rules for adjective endings:

1. All adjectives in the singular nominative case end in -e, regardless of noun gender. Here is an example with the singular masculine nominative:

Der alte Minister ging in den Saal.

The old minister went into the hall.

2. All adjectives in the dative or genitive cases, as well as all adjectives in plural form, end in -en regardless of the noun's gender. Here is an example with the plural genitive: 

Der Kaufmann ließ es sich schmecken

The Merchant enjoyed the meal

und verbrachte die Nacht in einem der schönen Schlafräume.

and spent the night in one of the beautiful bedrooms.

3. This is the hard one: Adjectives for masculine nouns in the singular accusative case end in -en, but adjectives for feminine and neuter nouns in the singular accusative case end in -e. Here is an example with the single masculine accusative:

So gibt es hier die elektrische Gitarre für den abgebrühten [Umgangssprache] Rockstar.

Thus there is the electric guitar here for the jaded rock star.

If the noun above had been feminine (or neuter), it would have dropped the -n: ...für die abgebrühte Musikerin.
