Stage 4 Mixing & Transitions Course 2 of 5

Your First Transitions

Beginner 8 lessons · 1 h 2 min

A beatmatch is not a mix. These are the actual moves - bring one in, take one out, and handle the stretch in the middle where both are playing. Start here before any of the genre-specific lessons.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Bring a track in and fade the other out without a dip in energy
  • Handle the overlap where both tracks are audible
  • Choose between a long blend and a quick change
  • Complete a basic mix from start to finish

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
