    Default Mixing Music for a school Dance..

    Hey guys, today i was asked by my friends to make a mix for a school dance or showoff idk how to call it, well i'm stuck in transitioning between Skrillex - Bangarang to Chris Brown - Turn up the music, what techniques do people use to do this? it's 110 BPM and 130 BPM and you know that it can be a mix, it must be like a cut from one to another but since it's such a drastic change idk what to do, any opinions?

    I'm doing it in ableton and i know my way around it..so you can go straight into the technical terms :P

    Big BPM changes means a more abrupt transition. Use a non-drum sequence, crank up reverb and filter out the first track and let the other one start. Or millions of similar transition ideas.

    The way I do it, is find a song with a build up, and as soon as the slower song is ending cut the low n it and begin raising the bpm while fading in/out both of the songs.

    Problem is songs have already been chosen, so i can't decide what to use to suit my transition better..

    You could always you use a delay and raise the bpm and play the other song. Maybe use a beat repeat, set on 1 bar?

    Loop a section of bangarang and keep making it faster until the bpm matches with the chris brown tune. Then drop the chris brown into the loop and slowly fade out skrillex.

    I usually do really sick mashups in ableton, but i'm not used to this song cuts straight into other genres, I don't even like Chris Brown or this top 40 style of music..

    I would like to see the dance crowd when the BPM increases 20 values in a minute...

    http://soundcloud.com/martinsolveig/...gs-radio-smash I Would like something like what happens at 46:20, where he slows both songs and then drops skrillex in for the kill...Any effect vst to reproduce this?

    I got Effectrix, it's got a vinyl stop, but the effect there it's like affecting both songs and slowly bringing one out of the vinyl stop..

    If the transition is done right, I feel it could work. I would do it as a build up. Get a small loop, bring up the tempo and the pitch to the desired speed, then leave the kick at that tempo and continue raising the pitch.
