Is this the same guy that you are talking about in the other thread where you ask if it is cheating or someone else?
Also, transition tracks are not cheating but they are generally boring and will create a boring sound tbh. I would only even think of using something like that if I had 2 songs that really would not work together but simply needed to be played next to each other….rare. Maybe even non existent, depending on what you play.
Brandon – there is no cheating – we are playing tracks, it isn’t a competition, but just like when you look at bands you can make an opinion on whether they are talented, lame or just there because they look good.
If he is playing remixes with what you are describing as transition tracks – there is nothing wrong with that if he is making them sound good. I am not sure what you mean by mash-up…not really sure what anyone means by it tbh!!
Someone else will be better placed to answer your bonus question because that is not something I do.
