i may not be dead on, so if its not quickly adjust it so its in time. Now u have both tunes playin on the off beat of the other. A bit of cutting with the crossfader works a treat here.

now the tricky part, what u have to do now is once again on the first beat of the bar do another little scratch and if all goes well this should set the tunes back in perfect sync. Although the 1st beat of record 1 will now be lined up with the 4th of record 2, if u see what i mean. Still sounds normall as long as there are no breakdowns coming up soon on either record.

if u find it difficult to get a tune to start playing on the off beat u can always try just redropping it while cueing up the first hi-hat rather than the kick.

Basically if u pull this off right it really does sound incredible, probally works best with loopy sort of techno or 2 of the same tune.

I will try and do an audio clip of what i mean, as im sure u have no idea what the hell im ravin on about.
I get what you mean.

Altough lately I've been trying this, probably exactly what your saying anyway but...

If your confident in dropping a track off cue in beat, then with two tracks mixed full in (loopy techno works well here), you've created a groove that's becoming boring, grab a record hold it one beat and drop it back in, live mind you, best effect, the reverse scratch sets up an edit like effect. Get it right and you've just created a whole new groove and fcuk it's satisfying as well.
