I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but has it ever occurred to anyone else that it might be helpful, before you actually record a mix, to put your potential tunes into a playlist in the order they will be mixed and give it a listening to? That way you can hear how the songs flow, rather than concentrating on how the tracks will transition (as I tend to do).
This way, you can easily reorganize tracks into a different order, and hear how it changes the overall flow and mood of the mix.
(Plus then you can just open up your playlist in whatever software you use and all your songs are already there, pre-sorted, in order, and ready to go).
Anyway, maybe this is an obvious suggestion that never occurred to me before, but I just thought of this about 20 minutes ago and I thought I would share...
