Are you saying you download torrents? No one should do that for many reasons. Support the artists and keep it legal.

It’s the same, just the notations are different. It’s all based on music theory.

I don’t do any scratching at all. So when using the volume faders, what level do you bring the incoming track on?

I usually bring in a new track around 7, but it really depends on the track and the mix. It could be anywhere from 4-10. Remember to lower the volume of the first track according to how much you raise the volume of the second track that way you keep the overall volume roughly the same as stated above. When I have both tracks playing full I have the volumes around 8 for each channel (you could use the gains for this if you choose but I don’t usually). I’m pretty hungover this morning so if that doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll try to explain better.

I would recommend using the volume faders instead of the crossfader for full control over this. I’ve never used a crossfader that is as smooth as I would like in this regard.

Have someone on the floor keep an eye on it for you or go check it yourself periodically. Bartenders and bouncers would be happy to help you out.

Exactly. It’s all subconscious, you don’t even think about it, although if someone asked what bar the track was on you could probably tell them without even thinking about it. I’ve been djing more than 15 years, trust me you’ll quit consciously counting.

You’ll have to buy the tracks individually. Never mix from a mix cd.
