Sorry, but this is just as bad as the first.

Why do you think DJs used to segue tracks waaaay back when 7" and LP tracks were the norm? It wasn't just because mixing hadn't been thought of. It's the only type of mixing that makes sense, with such diverse material. The great advantage of segues is that chordal/key matching considerations are irrelevant. Matching sounds/instrumentation becomes more important.

Any good mix is only attempting to be a damned fine segue anyhow. Unless you understand what crescendos are all about and how a sequence can be suddenly lifted by the very real excitement that a great segue can produce, you're never going to be a good mixer. That's without overall musicality, giving tracks enough time to work (24 tracks in 38 minutes is way too many really, eh?), so that the segues or mixes happen in the right places etc.

I'd suggest you go back in order to go forward.

BTW: It's Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man NOT Aretha Franklin's version you used.

Thanx, again!

I must admit that i don't have musical education...

P.S. What is segue?

[buckaroo]

:o
It's the way that two tracks are mixed together, by matching beat and tempo etc., in order for there to be a smooth transition from one to the other. Check out any decent disco album from the '70s.

A segue is the proper name for a chop mix, when talking in DJ terms. Think of the kind of mix you would get if you do straight editing of tracks with no overlap between them.

What is chop mix?

You know, i'm russian, so english is not my native...

P.S. Who did like this mix? :)

[Noman]

I think there are books on this subject, and videos.

Chop ~ Cut

No or very short overlap.Example: End one song after a 4th beat and "cut" the fader to the next song on a 1st beat.

Ok, Got it.

P.S> What book can you recommend?

[Noman]
