Hmmm, interesting discussion. :)
I must say that I'm an advocate of "banging it in". I mean, all dance tracks have layers to them, so when mixing in something, we should just introduce layers from the incoming track as we cut off the same layer from the outgoing track. I agree that for most cases, fading in/out gradually sounds akward.
Having said that, my beatmatching has gone downhill ever since I peaked a few weeks ago; I wonder if DJs do go through rough patches.. :conf: |

Hell, tell me about it! :mad: :(
I was able to pull off some great mixes a few days ago, and now, every time I practice, I screw up big-time!
:( :( |

Wow that's a nice compliment :) I can't say I learn more from reading than practising, but I thank God there's a forum I can turn to when things go wrong, knowing for sure I'm not alone..
Awww... I think we need a group hug now. :rolleyes: |

Tell me what reasonable club doesnt have a good mixer with a double cue?
I Think every club which respects itself should have one. |
Probably almost any large night club in NYC or Boston. Almost every club I've been to has a Urei rotary mixer which has no split cueing (or much else actually). They are no longer made and are supposedly hard to come by, but are considered the best.
I found this out the hard way when I had my first nightclub gig 2 years ago. Good thing I had time to practice on it before I played. |

Not quite true... Urei mixers are still made, as long as you're handy with a soldering iron. They are available in kit form from some company in Japan, I believe.
They are a bastard to mix with though - no eq's! You have to have a separate eq module next to it. I do like rotary mixers though - I'm a big fan of them when it comes to long smooth mixes.
