Odds are you are probably good at transitioning to a song without missing a beat if you are wanting to receive some more intermediate techniques, but you must also realize that transition techniques will always get more advanced and difficult. For example, an expert DJ will incorporate looping transitions, bridge transitions, chorus transitions, quick transitions, end-of-song transitions, and EQ\/FX transitions all in one set, without missing a beat. If you want to learn what any of these are, keep reading.<\/p>\n
Looping transition<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>A transition that occurs while one track is looping and the other is beginning. This is great to use in portions of the song that are repetitive, or with House or Hip-Hop music.<\/p>\nTo do this transition, create a loop from the track that you want to transition from. <\/em>Next, match the BPM of the looped track with the track you want to transition to, then press play on the first beat of a measure. Then slowly (or quickly, depending on the sound) move the crossfader over to the new channel.<\/p>\nBridge transition<\/em><\/strong>: This transition is rather simple to do if you are good at song selection, and routinely set up cue points for your tracks. This transition is accomplished by changing the song at the first beat of a bridge of one song to the first beat of a bridge of another song.<\/p>\nIn essence, what you are doing is transitioning the song right at the bridge. This is ideally done by quickly moving the crossfader over, so that the audience only hears the new bridge.<\/p>\n
Chorus transition: <\/em><\/strong>This is a rather popular technique, and perhaps one that you have tried. This type of transition works very well with tracks that blend well together:<\/p>\nTo do this transition, start your new track either on the first beat, or halfway through, the chorus of the song you are transitioning from (depending on how long your new track\u2019s intro is). Make sure you time it correctly to make it so that the new song\u2019s lyrics start right when the chorus of the old song ends.<\/p>\n
While doing this transition, make sure you cut the bass of your old song to make room for your new song. This also allows the audience to get a preview of where you are going with your mix.<\/p>\n
Quick transitions: <\/em><\/strong>These types of transitions are simply when you start one song immediately after the last beat in a measure of another song. These are the quickest type of transition you will do as a DJ, thus why they are called \u201cquick\u201d transitions. These are one of the first types of transitions learned by beginners.<\/p>\nEnd-of-Song Transitions:<\/em><\/strong> This is also a beginner technique, and one that is learned along with beat-matching. This type of transition is simply moving the crossfader over to a new song at the end of an old song, but on beat of course.<\/p>\nEQ\/FX Transitions:<\/em><\/strong> Your EQ and FX settings can also help you to transition between songs. Usually, the exact details on how to do this is subjective to the type of setup you have. If you want to learn some EQ\/FX transitions, play around with your setup until you discover some new ideas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
