Ciao baby.

When I'm out in a club, to me, a short in time mix is much more preferable than a long out of time mix.

IMO the difference between a good DJ and an amatuer is that the good DJ can mix in a club as they do at home or on a demo cd ie hold the mix for a number of phrases and make a long smooth transition.

i correct it... crossfading out is just as noticable as a trainwreck... sounds shit!
i keep it going as smooth as possible however long it may be, just depends on the tunes im mixing i guess... some suit short mixes some suit long.

all depends on the tracks and ur style... simple

i once had Signum - Solar Level & Rank 1 - Awakening (Ferry Corsten Remix) going for a good 5 mins, synergy stylezzzz!!!!!

Yeah I keep it going for as long as possible .. usually I can keep it going for 32-48 beats...

I use the pitch sliders to keep the beats matched, for some reason I just don't like touching the record while its playing...

I usually adjust the incoming track, but once the crossfader has passed the centre of the fade, I start fiddling with the outgoing track (it just sounds better to my ears)..

I am a LLLOONNNGGGYYYY. I try to make it as long as possible without going into the new breakdown or anything. Cause if you make it short your barely into the record and it tends to lose energy. ALso to have it long its nice to have all the new tracks crashes and stuff coming in too.
My longest = 6 min [no trainwrecking] (2 of Helen's Prog records )

long on both turntables and cdjs

well depends on the tracks
sometimes i just like to cut it

but mostly i liek to do long transition and keep it smooth...

I try to do long mixes. i dont use the crossfader at all, just the volumes. More of a smooth mix i feel but everyone has different styles and different ways of doing things so if it sound good then its all good in the end

I'm a long man.

I'm like spang, and don't touch the cross fader, I used to use both crossfader and channels, but got used to just using channels.

When I'm bring a track in, i have the EQ's fairly low, so even with the channel on max it's not, or JUST audioable. From there, I'm going about 1 min mixes, with about 4-16 bars bring a track in, 16-32 bars with both on full, and another 4-16 bars eqing out the other track. Of course different tracks are done in different ways, but that's general format.

longest mix would be a few mashups, yet 2 do on the fly, but will do this weekend....4 dex 2 play with

haha I do the same with the eqs about having them in on low, it took me more than a year to find out why the incomin track in my recordings, came out so rudely and instrusive. I thought my mixer was fucked. I then found out that the eqs on 12 o'clock were too high, I use to think thathaving them on 12 o'clock was okay and normal. So now I have the eqs on 9 o'clock. Then I bring them up during the transition and decrease the eqs on the outgoing track
