[QUOTE="mixster, post: 639802, member: 5221"] I agree, I think a mix needs to flow and the dj needs to work to keep things moving - but can also be guilty of fiddling too much! Especially with old skool, too much scratching or inappropriate use of acapellas really put me off :| I try to make the first 'interesting' part of the next tune co-incide exactly with the end of the interesting bit of the last tune, if that makes sense :$ As you say, no one wants to hear the run out beats - as a punter I'm disappointed if I hear that, I always think the dj has missed his cue... My favourite trick is to turn the bass right down gradually for my final bit of the outgoing tune, so it goes tinny for a count of four - then whack the bass in for the incoming tune. Gets a cheer if you do it right :D [/QUOTE]
