I’ve just tried doing another mix and I used the faders only to control the volume. I felt very rushed when bringing one track down, and the other up, before making the final transition, if you know what I mean. So I brought one track in gradually, while taking the other out at the same time, and never having them both at full volume at the same time. Is that an acceptable way to DJ?
One of the beauty of DJ ing for me, ish when I’m fully mix 2 different songs at the same volume and let them two to ride each other, let it mix together for 2/3 mins, some people called them Long Mix, the beauty of those two songs harmonically support each other, it gave me a goosebumps, an adrenaline sensation, well just all kind of sensation lol, it’s just one of those aspect I love in DJ ing
Since you digged trance, I recommended this classic mixing that until this day i still hold dearly, Ayla – “Ayla Part II” mix into Ayla – “Into the Light”
The mix it’s in one my vids –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jabojGB7x8g
Keep in mind, this is when I just started mixing (be kind with the critiques and such lol), so It might be the best mixing in the world by today standard, but you get the idea at least of running both songs at full volume at the same time, you will find the Ayla mixing towards the end of it
btw why are the forums so dead? I figured theyd be hopping D:
