Reply to The Official Mix Techniques Thread!

Ok, i've been wanting to post this one for a while. Here's the deal->

Post at least one of your go-to mix techniques, be it beginner or advanced, any platform, plus some quick details on how to execute it properly in your set. Post pictures or video as needed!

Simple enough, and if done properly it will make a great archive of techniques. I'll start with an easy one:


Mix A->B using delay & EQ:

On Deck A, slowly fade the bass out OR sweep the filter to high pass, while raising the wet/dry on your delay (i'm using Traktor). Once the track has a good amount of delay going, stop the track on a downbeat. Let the echo of the delay ride out and start your song on Deck B.

This one's good for jumping between genres and big BPM jumps. It's the most seemless when Deck B is loaded with a dramatic intro or build without a beat (drums). Additionally, you can keep the Decks beatmatched and simply fade Deck A out as Deck B starts with the Delay and EQ, although it's a bit more difficult to keep things from getting muddy.

As with any technique, experiment with some songs to get the feel.
