about mixing techno... it really doens't matter on which bar you are cutting.
On each bar you can let the same records sound different.
there are no rules for mixing techno...


too bad there are not so many people understanding this.
Hmm I dunno, In my opinion taking this approach can only work well in 2 scenarios

a - the DJ is EXTREMELY on top of the mix, ready to cut out the offset record at exactly the right bar to avoid a dodgy trailing or preceding bar

b - the DJ is playing loops. full stop.

From my experience, mixing sounds a lot better when it's on point the vast majority of the time.


agreed.
there is a place in a record for the perfect mix. sure you can drop it on any 4th in a record and it will sound in time.

but to me i can hear that, and it sounds like lazy mixing to me.

mix it in the right place you will have things stoping and starting at the same time. even records will end and you do not even need to fade them out as the other record has just kicked.


jeff mills use to do this a while ago, but i have not heard/seen him do it in ages.

thanks anyway schlongfingers, im sure i have lots to learn. but this i will not chage my mind on.
