Hillegonda; Yes, it helps to know about musical structure before embarking on mixing - how otherwise can one distinguish beats, bars and sections?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: - wut? you actually just need to be able to count. ----------------------------- I hope you're joking - what do you count to? 3? 4? one bar? 15? counting is for nippers in toddler trunks who are in learning stage - when you actually DJ, you need to have internalised the structure and other aspects of your musical selection. Only then can you play from the heart, be the music and play with flow rather than act out some sad calculator without direction. To use a parallel example: if you are in the middle of some busy traffic, do you count distance, speed and accelleration when crossing the road or overtaking a car? I hope not, by the time you'd rationally achieved that, you'd be dead. Hillegonda.
