So I’ve been mixing a lot of trap/hiphop type stuff and most of them are around 100-120 bpm and now I want to mix in GTA - Cake, but it’s at 160 bpm and I can’t find a way to transition! Ideally I want to mix it into an electro-house song (cause the song starts off being kind of electro then goes into trap/hiphop). I know there’s a lot of tutorials on how to mix in different tempos but an example would definitely help me out. Still new to this so my flame suit is on lol!
I was thinking 0:59 would be my cue point and mix into another song really well.
Might take a lil while to learn but you could possibly make your own intro edit on ableton or something similar in which the bpm starts out at 120 an raises to 160. I know DJCity record pool has thousands of these “transiition Tracks” and from what i imagine it wouldnt be too hard to do. I’m Sure there were some DJTT tutorials on making your own intros the other week, you could apply that but using a warp feature aswell.
EDIT- Someone who actually produces might be able to step in and validate the ease of this ?
It is REALY easy to make a transition track in Live.
There’s even a tutorial for making Transition Tracks on this very site:
In fact, I suspect there is quite a market out there for custom transition tracks. For the right money, I could knock one of these up for you in no time… Going from 100/120BPM to 160BPM is definitely do-able…
If it’s some black music, I think you can insert some syncops with it not sounding too weird.
from 100bpm , cue on a 1st beat, and bash on dotted quarter note (one beat and a half) (kinda bossa nova feel)
(=> this is 150 bpm, and it should still sound musical)
i use the iceverb in traktor and sometimes mix it with a beatmasher. create a big spacy washed out sound, then have a pad/break of the next track take over
