you need to know your records better and most of the time you can't have to tracks playing at the same time. quicker transitions.

okay thanks, like fade in/out ? reducing the volume of the first track and higher the second one?

I think it really comes to 'puzzling' all the tracks more together,
really search wich tracks fit wel together and choose a certain time in the record to make your transition, and indeed faster transitions...

lots of quick cuts, lots of rewinds.

the 1 turntable thing is great.

you need one of those for 1 turntable mixing and a mic.

Can be loads of fun though
