Just keep it basic without loops for Top 40. Track 2 comes in during the Track 1's Chorus (second/third). Majority of Track 2s lasts about 14-16 seconds so knowing before hand when Track 2 hits and Track 1 ends the chorus is beneficial. Use markers/cue points to remember when songs can be switched.

Well honesty some pop songs are turning to the more experimental sound so you won't find that catchy instrumentation to sync to your ongoing track. What you could do is set cue points to a catchy part of the song that won't overwhelm the ongoing track. I love tech tools you guys are great

Ean, I respect you, but way to make mixing pop music seem boring. And what I mean by that is, I'm not one to speak for open format DJs often, but one of the things that make open format DJs who play pop music, whether they are turntablists, CDJists, or controllerists, is the spontaneity, energy, unpredictability, and instictual method of how to mix pop music. While there are exceptions to it, breaking it down into a repeatable routine just makes it mixing pop music seem too methodical, and reducing the impact. I firmly believe and have always experienced that an audience can tell the difference between a DJ in his creative zone versus reciting a tactic.

could have worked with a different filter. he used a high pass to integrate the pixes song when he could have either just started from -inf and gradually increase the volume of the pixes track or use a lowpass filter instead, cutting out the highs at first making it sound like its coming through the walls as you enter a venue. its more natural with the lowpass filter and way less harsh than the highpass filter.

There's so many options. Muted Entertainment gave a bunch of pertinent information and there's so much more you can do, echo out is a good one, but ideally mix the songs at a different part. Sometimes there's a section later in the song with a random beat. Set up a pre-set loop so when you get to that part it automatically loops and then you can bring in the vocal. Or if you use serato you can use FLIP and make a custom intro edit with that. Check drakes "One dance" for an example of the random beat i think it's after like the second chorus or so. Learn to do some basic baby scratching and mess around with the vox over the current song then try an echo out and drop it in. Sounds great with hip hop or top 40

In my opinion... I feel the program Traktor and most of its equipment doesn't do the job for anything other than EDM or techno. I feel the example would have been done right with Serato or even Virtual DJ's cause it gives you the opportunity to get creative with how you end the first track while mixing with the second track. Rather than just slowly fade it out. With turntables or a controller you can scratch it out or use multiple effects. This is just my opinion though... I am not an expert on the the program Traktor or its capabilities
