I am fairly new to DJing. I have been actively practicing for about 6 months now. I like to mix trap and dubstep mostly.
Normally I dj by setting cue points at the first beat, 8 bars before the drop (if I want to double drop a different song), and 16 bars before the end of the drop (or chorus). If I am, say, letting track A play and I want to transition track B in smoothly, I will cue up track B and mix it in using volume and EQ so that the first beat comes in when the drop (or chorus) ends on track A.
I've tried to find some common "rule of thumb" techniques for transitioning but am having trouble doing so (and I know that people are gonna say there's no exact method for transitioning, I just want some outsider opinions). I am curious to see if that is a common method of transitioning songs, and if not, what method do you like to use when transitioning?
