| i know this might be a wierd question , but to me its all about the transition from one record to the next..I've noticed when transitions are sloppy i never really get pumped for the record being brought in. So i was curious to know how all us trance addicts mix.. Personally my favorite way to mix a record in is introducing it slowly, tweakin the nobs ever so slightly until the new record is louder then the other then BANG kill it to one all at once.. I do love quuick transitions as well , but it has to be the right record-one that brings the energy up a notch, or breaks down into emotional melodies.. Please share with me your mixing techniques im interested to know what you look for in a mix.. |

a good transition is different from mix to mix. also different as to where it is in your set.
sometimes 2 songs sound great blended together for a long time...other times you may want to do a quick transition with the 2 songs you are mixing together.
some songs have a short breakdown towards the beginning and dont really give you any other option. |

| true, but man i hate it when DJ's try to force 2 records together jst because there both good records..when spiining live i guess you sometimes gotta do what u gotta do. |

| no way is there one way to do it for all transitions. a kill like you're talking about doesnt always sound good. just depends on the songs, the mood, everything. theres no one-size-fits-all way. |

totally different topic. i was assuming that the 2 records being transitioned were already figured to work together.

I actually like to MIX the music.. not just have them on top of each other for 32 bars then bam, next track... |

+1
as dumb as it sounds, that's the only way i mix... otherwise the transition sounds rushed and abrupt imo. sometimes it works well, but most of the time i have really long transitions that slowly blend into each other. |

| I like to mix in a way that makes people say "I cant believe its not butter." It doesnt always work like that though :D My mixing style all depends on the genre of the tunes Im playing. I play more breaks than trance now; I tend to mix breaks more 'aggressively' than I do trance. |
