Songs with short intro.

Yeah that's pretty much why I laughed. It's a bit like saying "I'm a runner, I never use my car, except for when I need to get to places"

Nothing wrong with syncing, just don't pretend to be beat matching ;P

[Nicky H]

Yeah thats why I was a bit arsey ...
Nothing wrong with sync or using the bpm counter mate.

If there are no beats in your intro or outro? like you say then you will have to try different styles of mixing than beatmatching or find some beats you can use in the track.

@DeejayAlex

To mix intros and outros by ear you just need to know how many counts long they are. Once you know that you can mix them in anyway you like.

Beatmatch the songs using a percussive portion of the track and then re-cue back to the beginning of your intro when you are ready to mix in.

Not beatmatching by ear aint beatmatching for you ? Excuse me sir, you surely have mixed for 20 years and you're angry about newbies who mixe as well as you do, easiest than you do, maybe you also walk on your hand because its harder.

I add that I didn't post this topic to debate about BPM counter as many do to reassure themselves they are not like others.

[MrPopinjay]

Dude, like I said, nothing wrong with it at all. In fact I'm pro alternative methods. If you're more creative than I am go and do something crazy instead of spending your time beat matching!

[DeejayAlex]

Thanks and sorry, english is not my mother tongue, I perceived your post as agressive.

[MrPopinjay]

Yeah sorry dude I'm a bit of an asshole to be honest.

[DeejayAlex]

no worry, everyone has a piece of assholeness.

[DeejayAlex]

let's back on the topic, I post 2 songs (not electronic music), tell how'd you do to make the transition on the 1st chorus of the incoming song.

Outgoing song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGJYBt19P0I

(you dont have to hear the outgoing song anylonger after 00:20)

[DJ SB]

You could do something like this: http://www51.zippyshare.com/v/36610205/file.html
One song is pretty much double the bpm of the other.

ps: Don't make fun of my scratching I play house.
