Originally posted by Dervish Dunno about a trick but when a song is gonna cut out before a mix is finnished (i.e. mix isn't long enough for my liking, not a natural end yet) I sometimes just hit reverse and help the deck my flicking the record back (record now playing backwards and in beat). What you get is a quick transistion on the already lower volume out going track from forwards to backwards (hopefully not missing a beat)sounds a bit like a one beat spin back kinda. The reversed track tends to sound really chuggy (a term of mine dunno if you know what I mean) and chunky (adds something to the mix, depth maybe?) and gives you more time on what would of been an unnatural end to a mix. Obviously depends on the outgoing track on how it works and also how well (quickly and accuratly) you can flick the record from forward to reverse. Sometimes I've done it by bringing the tune out (line up in the headphones) for a phase and back in (on beat). But it can be done "live". Obviously done inccorectly it can result in a mega wreak (easily fixed, but still a fuck up). BTW, haha technics people no reverse button, supose a sampler would do the same thing but not as much fun.

good idea, i've always contemplated what to do when this happens.
