do it reeeaally slow
also slow down the playing track so the next one doesnt have to be sped up too much to where it sounds bad...

I don't fully understand the question but if you learn how to ride the pitch to make corrections to your live mixes then it will be hard to notice them. What do you mean by having to slow down/speed up a track to its normal BPM? |

I believe he's asking the best way build up the speed in the set and how people mix 2 records together.
Stern> my advice as pointed by others is two fold:
a. Plan the next few records you intend to play in your head. That way you know what the tempo, bpm of your records is and allows you to make any additional arrangements mentally before you start playing.
b.Make any adjustments in small increments and always do this to the beat at the end of the bar/phrase. Try to avoid making major adjustments during vocals etc as its quite noticable.
Also Stern, you should not be quite so fixcated with trying to bring the record back to the Quartz position. Moving the pitch a considerable amount is noticable and you should attempt to do this gracefully over a few records and not all at once on 1 record.
Hope that helps.

Sorry Stren...another example of why I must pay closer attention to what I type. Maybe I should teach myself the art of proof reading?
LOL |

| Don't worry about returning your records to the 0 position. If you slow down your tracks after you mix them in you can lose energy. I like to start off with my slower tracks and move to the faster ones. I'll pitch tracks up just a little right after I get them mixed in but thats to get a slight increase in BPM from start to finish. |

I would do that but I don't spin trance and my style is to mix in right after the second breakdown but I cue my tracks so that the first breakdown gets skipped. Its rare that I will let a track play for more than 3 or 4 minutes before I mix in so I have to make minor BPM adjustments in time with the beat to keep people from noticing. |
