For the most common style I play, there is a distinct point where the energy kicks in, whether there are vocals or not, so I tend to mark these points and will bring in the next song so that its pre-energy section is playing while the energy part of the current song is wrapping up, and then it transitions cleanly from one high energy part to the next. I tend to mark about 3 in and out transition opportunities, including the last phrase of the song, so that I don’t always use this full energy mix, though, since you don’t want your mix to be 100% high energy the whole time.
