I agree that mixing without effects is more essential than anything else, but mixing in key is over rated. Unless you're trying to mix two melodies on top of each other, I find that it isn't worth the effort.

I can transition 2 tracks with no effects or anything, I do it with all my EQs at 12 o'clock. I have a feeling that it's wrong to do that. So my next step is knowing what's the best way to do it. Starting the new track with low eq at 9 o'clock makes more sense. Thanks for the tips though!

Key, EQ, structure, level, fade.
