I'm not sure if I am explaining myself correctly. I've only been DJing for about a year using two CDJ 2000 nexus and DJM 850 mixer. I'm am doing your traditional beat matching between two songs taking about 2-3 phrases in the process. However, when I listen to recent sets from some of the top DJs like Calvin Harris & Tiesto I notice the song transitions are different. Most of the time you don't even hear the incoming track until the last minute. It's almost like they are beat matching the two songs but not brining in the incoming song until the ending/start of the phrase they want and then they are slamming it in there. Its like they are slamming the two songs together but they are still beat matched so it works out...
How exactly are they doing this? What is the best way to transition from one song to another in the shortest amount of time but still blend well?..
You can listen to Calvin Harris's most recent set at EDM Las Vegas and hear his song transitions at this link..... http://inthemix.com/news/calvin-harr...egas-set/24042
