Its common Dj sense really

Get the second vinyl you want to mix in and try to get the 3rd beat, meaning the 3rd beat that it starts off with...

When the first song is about to finish try to listen to the 8/8 etc thing and let the second song go off the 3rd beat on the 3rd beat off the first song...




Its pretty hard to understand but i think you understand what i mean, dont you.

haha thanx for the tips guys

Usually the track will have high hats or other instruments that are consistant with the beat. If not, then you can do several things to make the transition. One thing is you can fade the bass on the live track and then mix in etc so that when then bass beat on the incoming track starts, you already have mixed out of the first track.

I'd be careful about phasing though, because most of the time I'll screw up the phasing between the tracks and even get through off on the beats so that I have a BPM twice that of the track (phasing is exactly half way between two beats so you have the double beat).

The only thing you can do for sure is practice with those really hard tracks to mix. I'm sure that quite a lot of djs have tracks that they love to mix with other particular tracks. There are a couple that just go so well that when I spin, I have a couple of tracks that go very well into eachother, or the mix just goes perfectly, or I can use teasers very well etc. Just make sure that you've mixed "hard to mix" tracks on your own before you go live

Originally posted by Great Outdoors I agree that it's all about feeling the rythym in your head even when there's no beat..more importantly, though, for the cue-ing timing to be absolutely perfect, you have to know exactly how fast or how slow the decks will spin once you release the record, because once you do so there's no turning back- the first bassline would have already been released on the speakers. Anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

hehe yea, but as you said.. thats really on the line there.. cause if u mess up the cue one bit the crowd will hear it.. dropping in a cue straight to the speakers is always risky

Exactly. That's why I always try to have the beats going before I throw in a cued track - it's too risky to throw it right in, especially with my lower-torque Numark's ... I'm sure that it's not that great of a problem with Tech's (although it's still risky).

yeah thats fucking hardcore! can you match it with
highats?
can anyone here do whats said above perfect everytim?
