I forgot a important thing I learned on here.

lol it was me that helped you... i think the post was some ridiculous troll thread and you were flamed alot lol but i still helped well use the search function no more trolling homie

i don´t want to sound rude or anything, but imho you should start using your brain. if you would have done this before, you wouldn´t ask this question. you have defo gained enough experience while the time being here to realize by yourself, that there is no rule or law when it comes down to mixing. math can´t help you mastering it. your own experience only can do this. 8/16/32 bars...won´t help you much in the end to become good. it´s your ears and your knowledge of your own tracks. practice every day, get to know your tunes, don´t worry about the theory. if the transition doesn´t sound good, try another tune and so on.

just my 2 cents...

Might not work for track c or d or...

I do it actually quite the same exept that instead for starting i realease it from it's loop

Does anybody else wonder if Hola Amigos is the worlds most devious troll?

yeah, but the number 1 troll spot goes to another dj i've know for 10+ years. he's got that super esoteric, long troll game that he uses on 4 people. it's pretty epic.

LOL, that's awesome!!

As I can recall it said mix track b into track a after 16 bars or something like that.

So i'm not sure if its 16 bars or 8 bars or 32 bars. Anyone clear this up for me?

For best results, I do 8 bars. By the time I hit 9th bar I'm too fucking wasted to mix.

[hola amigos]

Alright i'll use my ears more. But i stop counting in my brain and let the software count. Then try and transition and it sucks ass. lol

yup, to this day i still can't quite tell if he's trolling us or if he's just extremely delusional. if he is a troll it's like some andy kaufman level brilliance on the most micro level possible...that's he's kept up for y e a r s. if he's not trolling, it's just sad really...

just keep at it and practice as much as you can. like others have said, you will start to get to a point where you can just FEEL where most songs want to be mixed. for some people this can take time for other's it comes easier. a fair amount of house/trance music (@ ~125 bpms) you can start a mix-in when there is around a minute of music remaining in the first track (which should be 32 bars at that tempo). this isn't a static rule but start there and see how it works, adjust as needed, and really listen to your tracks and understand the points that make sense to mix. then feel it!
