just recently someone in the forum mentioned "advanced mixing" where instead of just using the fader to introduce the cued song, you utilize the EQ more to bring in certain elements of the new song in, what does he mean by that?

when mixing, I find myself using the volumes now not the slider at all, so with the slider in the middle what he means is turning the eq's all the way off on the song your mixing in. As you take the volume up on that track you slowly fade in the highs to add an extra symbol clash / snare to your current song, then you hit the mids with the mids. then finally at a build you flip the bass' and it ends up making a cool transisition.

Works alot better then using the slider, and its basically how everyone works as soon as you've got beat matching down

Cheers hope this helps

What I usually do when brining in a tune is turning the high and bass low. Then useing the volume fades n gain knob to bring it in. At the same time I also increase the highs n lows in synch with each 'phase' of the intro/outro. It creates a long smooth mix which works well for spinning progressive n deep house I reckon.

i wouldn't touch the gain knob to bring a track in, thats not what it is there for its there so that you have 2 controls on the volume, one to bring a track in/out (fader) and one to match the volumes so that one is not louder than the other (gain control). if you use the gains AND the faders to bring it in, it will always be hit & miss with regards to the volume of the incoming track. so match the gains using the VU meter, then don't touch it again
