track marking cd's - where do youstart the next tune

[Mr Happy]

when do you set up the next track when your track marking your mix cds?

 

i tend to work on the basis of the next track starts when all of the noticable parts of the last track have gone.

most hardhouse cds seem to start the next track the moment the basslines are swapped

i know some techno cd's (umek style ones) dont even both with track marking as theres too many records playing to work out when 1 starts and stops

it depends on the tracks and the mixing style.

 

if its a swift bassline change over then at that point but occasionally i'll do it mid mix when both are playing normally. Sometimes also at the first break in the new tune

 

It all depends on the tracks.

Just do it where it sounds right.

 

Sometimes it sounds better to start the next tune when there's still a little bit of the last one going. Sometimes not.

if your making a demo cd for promotional use, put the track marks just before you start the mix, so that promoters can just skip through and listen to the mixes.

yeah - remember talking to Eufex ages ago and he suggested this method for promo-cds.... have done it ever since!
