adjusting the treble plays a big role in my transitions.
when i'm mixing sort of your standered run of the mill 4 on the floor prog. song, i'll sart out with the new track wiht lows killed all the way, mids down to about 50% from the zero mark, and the highs about 60% from the zero mark (0db). as i mix into the tracks, the treble is the first thing i mix from the tracks. i'll slowly bring up the chanel of the new track and as i do that, i bring down the treble of the old track. i will slowly adjust things until i get the channel of the new song to 100%. at the end of a measure, i will bring the treble of the song playing to about 50% and bring up the treble of the new song to about 15% HIGHER than the zero mark.
i will then slowly mix the basses in and swap them slowly as measures pass and the time seems appropriate. then i will bring up the mids of the new track and slowly bring down the volume of the old track. some time's as i bring down the volume of the old track, i bring up the mids on it so you can still hear it and in the mix and so the cut in the end of the mix doesn't sound so sudden.
