DJ Vintage is correct 🙂
It’s called “lossless”, which means, it doesn’t lose data when compressing, which means, when you decompress the file is identical bit-by-bit to the original. I.e. You don’t lose information, so the quality is the same.

Hi,
I am not a pro, but I can share what I’m doing.
First, I use Traktor so I can see the phrases.
It is really helpful.
AFAIK, techno, tech-house are usually 32 beats phrases (8 bars).
To your question, yes, usually a phrase ends or starts with a drum fill, crash or similar.
So even if you’re not really sure, listen to the change and start counting. You’ll see that after 8 bars you will hear another change.

I use loops of 8 bars a lot. I start the loop in the 2nd deck when the phrase starts in the 1st deck (even w/o volume at all).
Then I can start mixing, being sure I’m in the phrase.

I came upon a good tutorial about it.

It’s good if you use Traktor, which I understand you don’t.

Hope it helped a bit.

Nice set.
I think it’s closer to Techno than to Tech-House.
But it doesn’t really matter 🙂 I liked it.

Can you add the playlist + timings?

Cheers
