It's just a matter of practice and takes a little longer to get the mix lined up. May take a few tries too, but I'd say most experienced DJs can do this, even if some find it annoying. Beginning DJs are another story... A good friend was giving me feedback on some of my less-than-DJ-friendly intros the other day. He's been working in a record store for years, and explained how most DJs will reject anything with an offbeat intro (like the first sound you hear is actually hitting on the first 1/8th note). I buy this, based on who your typical record buyer is. So... if you wanna sell records to DJs, make your intros DJ friendly. If you want to please a listener, do whatever the f*ck you want. :) Tristan ------------------- Upcoming Gigs: 4/14/02 - Filler @ Blue Room, Adams Morgan, DC http://www.mp313.com <- Music http://www.metrotechno.net <- DC techno + more http://www.metatrackstudios.com <- DC DJ/Production studios http://phonopsia.tripod.com <- Hub [EMAIL PROTECTED] <- email --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
