LOL :D
I wonder sometimes if DJs can see the pain on people's faces when this
happens, or is it just people who are DJs (or music-headz) who hear it?
You know, kinda like that thing where if a tree falls in a forest does
it make a noise if no one is around to hear it ... maybe after a few
drinks (or more than a few) it doesn't matter anyways ...
I remember once I was in a hurry to end a night and I transitioned a
Prince song earlier than it might sound best (before the last few
measures). It didn't sound 'off' but anyone who intimately knew the song
could have picked it up. Just then, I remembered that a friend (who was
really into Prince) was on the dance floor. I looked out and sure
enough, he was looking at me in horror - like how could you do that -
while no one else even noticed and kept dancing.

I'm not into fancy stuff at all and usually take the road that the music stands for itself,
"as-is." I don't usually futz around with very fine controls unless I feel it adds
something to what I'm doing. When I first started I used to keep my indiv level controls up and then
use the fader left-to-right, etc. but then somewhere along the way I changed to mostly not using the
master fader at all and just using the levels for each channel (and my ears & watching the
levels). But then it really depends on what you're doing & how you're doing it. Also whatever
kind of tunes you're playing. I think some lend better to the mad/slam back & forth that one can
get from using the master fade.
I have to say tho' - the train wreck method IS really entertaining - I've spent
some time there myself! Nowadays it's mostly slight drag or missed measures
that can sneak up on me ... ;)

Subject: Re: (313) how do you mix
i find that a mix consisting entirely of "train-wrecks" can be
really quite exciting. with all the cacophony and dischord
present, the occassional, accidental instance of beat-matching
will appear as an epiphany to the irritated listener. people
don't let me get on the decks too much anymore... i'm not allowed
to use the TV remote either. oh well.
