so im just learning, trying to learn to mix trance... do you guys generally mix at the breakdowns? I know it deepends on feeling it, just curious if i should use my hot cues to hop to the next part before the breakdown or just mix another track.just need a general rule of thumb
start mixing about 2/3 through the track but AFTER the breakdown (if it has one)
trance is a style that does not encourage beatjumping and such :)
You spelled Tarnce wrong.
The 'rule of thumb' is that there is no 'rule of thumb'. Depends on the track in question.Quote:

I know a guy that cuts tracks off all the time and it pisses people off cus he often misses out the best bit of a tune. Then again he is barely a DJ anyway, I just use him as an example of a bad DJ doing a bad job.
True, though I've noticed that with a lot of newer tracks in other genres, the breakdown is just a filler before the song repeats itself. For these type of tracks I generally like to mix out using the breakdown.Quote:
