Posted on: 16.10.2013 by Veronika Vinson
so im just learning, trying to learn to mix trance... do you guys generally mix at the breakdowns? I know it deepends on feeling it, just curious if i should use my hot cues to hop to the next part before the breakdown or just mix another track.just need a general rule of thumb

True, though I've noticed that with a lot of newer tracks in other genres, the breakdown is just a filler before the song repeats itself. For these type of tracks I generally like to mix out using the breakdown.

The breakdown in a track is often the pivot before the most exciting bit of the track. I generally hate it when a DJ ends a track early and brings a new one in at the breakdown. To me it shows that the DJ is more interested in what he wants to do/hear and is getting bored and is less interested in what the crowd want to hear.
I know a guy that cuts tracks off all the time and it pisses people off cus he often misses out the best bit of a tune. Then again he is barely a DJ anyway, I just use him as an example of a bad DJ doing a bad job.

trance is a style that does not encourage beatjumping and such
