I’ve been a bedroom DJ got around 3 months now and I’ve gotten the hang of everything up to now, with the exception of beatmatching by ear, I’ve fallen into the trap of visual beatmatching with the aid of Serato which I’m trying to break out of.
So I have Mixed In Key as an assistant and while Harmonic Mixing has its benefits I find it limits the amount of songs you can use in a mix or a set. Songs that are mixed in key seem to blend together effortlessly without the need (or very little) EQing.
One problem I seem to have is that when I mix out of key is I can’t seem to find a great technique to mix out Track A efficiently without the song coming to an abrupt end so the audio dips quite heavily when it comes to an abrupt stop, and the cross fader doesn’t help as this does shorten the abruptness but still isn’t ideal.
Does anyone have any advice or techniques they do like to use when mixing out of key that still helps the mix flow smoothly without any abrupt cuts in the music at the end of Track A? Transitions have been my biggest downfall so far.
Don’t know what good it is but I currently use a Pioneer DDJ-SX3
