So you messed up in the middle of your set!!!

dude the most important thing about mixing is feeling the music, I don't think "ok so that was the break down now i'll wait 16 bars and drop my next track." you just feel it the only tool I rely on is the waveform up top so I know how far of the track i've got left.

Re messing up in the middle of a set, just carry on. If it's train wrecking get out of the mix as quick as you can

Yeah on reflection "just feel it dude" would have been much more useful advice...

I'm not sure if you're taking the piss out of me or not?

No, seriously. If you listen to your music (and practice) often enough, you know what bits come where, and what effects/transitions suit that part of the song. At the end of the day, it's what sounds good.

Use what the others have posted as a start, it's a good way to start to learn to phrase, but as you get better, you'll find that things just start to come naturally - you'll be "feeling it"!

Just try to match phases, the rest should come naturally!

Dammit you're not the OP!

Not enough sleep methinks... off to bed!

I got a pretty rad set that Im going to do, I got it all planned out and practiced.

Weak

[dope]

weak maybe but for "beginner" it's good to have things to rely on.
what's weak here is to blame here saying "weak".

I'm always listening for an element of the song that is doing something that is going to release on the one beat. Maybe it is a synth line that is rising in pitch and building, maybe it is the drums, maybe the producer gave me a give me with a pause. I think "feeling it" comes down to learning to listen to these things. When it is difficult to tell where this spot is, when practicing put a marker on it, let the two tracks play on top of each other and see if you are right, if wrong rewind move the mark and do it again.
