umm, i dont think it would be a matter of actually mixing the tracks, but more of track selection... imho, i think mixing comes in second to track selection...

You have said it yourself. Starting the second track earlier will keep the energy in, and ofcourse, it's a matter of selecting tracks that fit together well that makes the energy 'roll through'.

The thing is to start the second track at that point, that when the 'live' track is playing, and that 'mainpart' is ending, the build-up of the incoming track has just ended.

For instance, when track A (the running track) has a mainpart (when the track is at 'full power') of 32 bars, and the other track (B) has a buildup of 16 bars, you have to start track B when the mainpart of track A is at 16 bars.

It's a bit hard to explain, but I hope you get the point.

If not, feel free to ask...

Good luck

Yeah, I get you, it's just easlier said than done

yea, phrasing (not just beatmatching but coordinating the 32 beat bars can really make a dif, its not that hard too, just remember to keep counting

how do i know that a track has a build up of lets say 16 beats instead of 32?

count them

so hold up
i count the beats till the melody or what starts?

Listen to the incomming track before it's live and count the intro. If it's 16 or 32, just remember it.

Beatmatch.

Wait for the last main part of the Live track starts to kick hard, start counting beats. Make sure you start when the build drops.

Once you've counted to 16, drop the incomming track. You can now bring it in slow or hard depending on how much bass the new track has.

Practice said method and you'll learn your tracks and how most tracks go. You'll be doing it on the fly in no time.
