Is that the term for matching the songs up by their measures and bars?
well its kind of hard for me to explain but
Like i hear in some of Paul Van Dyk's older sets where he matches the songs up perfectly where the live song is having a build right to the outro and the incoming track is having a build to the body of the track ...
i dont get how u can get both songs matched that exact down to the second .... even with loads of practice. is there a program or technique or something so u know when to start playing the incoming track so its matched up perfectly when u mix it in?
thx sorry if i didnt explain what i mean corretly |

The technique is called "knowing your tracks". There really is no trick to it, you just need to know the stuff you play and it all falls into place.
I really wouldn't start mixing in from a breakdown/build though. |

i didnt really mean a build like that or a breakdown
man i dont know what to call it .... ugh
it was just at like a perfect time to mix in ... everymix too
i know about knowing ur tracks but... getting it down to the exact second? ... like he wasnt even a frame ahead or behind... it was dead on |

| I'm not really sure if I understand you correctly, but that's what any DJ should be able to do. It's one of the basic skills. |

do you mean dropping the incoming track when the outgoing track has no beats?
if so its harder than doing it normally but still doable with practice |

The safest mixing is probably mixing when the outgoing is at its outro, basically every 8 bars the outgoing track will start reducing percussion (well most). I'm not that good at explaining things but I think you get the point:
outgoing: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8_CRASH!!!!
incoming: ----------------------1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8_CRASH!!!!
But it's also one of the most boring ways to mix |

| like its already mentioned its a basic skill to be able to "allign the tracks perfectly" as you put it...phrasing, beatmatching, harmonics, eq, fx, this is all the foundation for being a DJ. |

That would explain why your sets are always so poorly phrased. :o |

haha Clovis owned.
anyways... how do u know how many bars there are till the melody of the next song comes in? thats what is puzzling me
i dont see how u can match up it perfectly unless u practice mixing those 2 songs beforehand
to get it like what a person above kind of said
outgoing: 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1_CRASH!!!!-(outro)
incoming: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8_CRASH!!!!-(body) |

well its already been mentioned that you should know your tracks to begin with. additionally as a DJ you should know your genre well enough to predict to an extent how things will match up...your brain will do it automatically at a certain point and combined with knowing your tracks well, it will be perfect every time.
