Tip #2: Prepare the Right SongsĪlthough you can theoretically transition between any two tracks, the smoothest transitions occur with soundtracks from the same music genre.

The mix-in and out zones often work in tandem, meaning while you’re mixing one track in, you’re also mixing your current track out. During the last 60 seconds of a track, you can slowly remove the track’s elements from your soundscape. The mix-out zone is the ending of a track. During the first one to two minutes of your track starting, you can steadily add in different elements of this track until it replaces whatever track came before it. The mix-in zone is the beginning of a track. Some music genres have longer mix-in and out zones, which makes tracks easier to transition. The saying couldn’t be more true when it comes to DJ transitions.Įvery soundtrack you work with has a mix-in zone and a mix-out zone, which act as your transition period. You’ve heard it before: timing is everything. Keep these tips in mind as you practice the various techniques we introduce next. Mastering DJ transitions take time and practice. To complete the transition, the first soundtrack’s volume slowly fades until only the second soundtrack is left playing.

The second soundtrack begins at a low volume and steadily gets louder to match the first soundtrack’s volume.
