| Rebeca Swarr 13.07.2012 | I get to the more rasta part of my set, ask people to roll up some joints and say to them with a mic: "Last one my brothers, join me after this for some tokes" Bahahah |
| Yong Aptekar 13.07.2012 | Everybody above is correct. There are lots of ways to end, and they all work in their own ways, but there is no set way. Me, I like slowly turning the filter dry while fading the volume down. |

| Latoria Kavulich 13.07.2012 | Stop playing. |
| Charline Dye 13.07.2012 | Porky Pig sample. Bdee Bdee B dats all folks. j/k Ghost busters sample Bill Murray saying "We came we saw we kicked its ass." is what I use for 80's evening s. Delay freeze or filtering. |
| Nereida Jasnoch 13.07.2012 | Or turntable effects: motor off or platter stop Bonus points for actual turntables. |
| Nereida Jasnoch 13.07.2012 | Reverb/Delay freeze. All day. Every day. |

The answer is there is no way to signal to the crowd the set is ending... do what feels right to you, if you don't have a sense for what sounds good you are on the wrong path, if you have a little faith in your ability run with it you might just surprise yourself. /rant |
| Jaye Walkington 13.07.2012 | i personally go with 'strobe' by deadmau5. its very easy to eq/ filter out and if you do it properly you can go to just the high eq knob for a steam noise to end. i was about to ask a question like that, thank you. |
| Celestine Porebski 13.07.2012 | I usually try to play something rather melodic and emotional to end a set. Cannot really say something more specific, but it often happens when digging for tracks (or digging through my own collection) that I believe "oh, this would make a good closing track". |
| Shonda Soulier 13.07.2012 | Faithfully by Journey is always a good choice. I agree, slow fade is good. Just don't ride the filters and effects for too long. That annoys the shit out of me. |
| Brunilda Kora 13.07.2012 | just let your last record play out. Or do a slow fade out. It's easy. A slow fade out is probably best - the crowd slowly twig's that you're ending up. You might even get a few claps/cheers/whistles. |
