halfway thru...
track selection: top notch. great stuff all the way, unsurprisingly with the exception of track 2 :grinning2: other than that really good.
mixing: beatmatching was good/perfect for the most part, only once or twice slightly offbeat, but not bad. do you use prelistening and the +/- buttons to adjust it when necessary, or do you trust the SYNC alone?
as for timing, definitely room for improvement there. be aware of the fact that there's 4 beats in a bar (a bass kick, or "boom" is what you will hear as a beat), and that the first beat (called "the 1") in each bar has special significance. VDJ tries to guess where the 1 is (it puts the big block underneath, and leaves the small blocks for 2, 3 and 4), but gets it wrong many times. it's up to you to figure out where the actual 1 is. (i think you got that part right though, at least didn't notice any transition being out of beat that way - just telling you anyway though).
also be aware of the fact that 4 bars (that's 16 beats) make up a phrase, and that you always get pairs of phrases. so you always get groups of 8 bars (32 beats). there's exceptions to this rule, but they're very rare, and you'll notice them once you've figured that part out. VDJ doesn't help you with this part at all, and this part is also where you're getting it wrong currently. align those groups of 8 bars to each other (in both tracks) and your transitions will improve a lot. especially it will enable you to take the eq-ing part of mixing to the next level, letting you cut parts of the tracks instead of just fading.
the very fisrt beat of a track will always be the first beat of the first bar in such a group of 8 bars. in some tracks you won't hear an actual bass kick (a "boom") there, as some mute the bass in the intro, so you'll hear a kind of "click" only. it will be a beat nevertheless.
the intro of a track is usually 32, 48 or 64 bars (not beats!) long (all multiples of 8), after that it goes into the main part. same applies to the outro of a track, this is where you can start aligning the tracks to each other - if you do it properly, the main part of the next track will come in exactly at the same time when the main part of the old track is ending.
hope this is all understandable, feel free to ask if it's not. keep going![]()
thanks for your feedback dfx and the track # 2 is there because i think is a bit old and i like some old vocal tracks and it's Pierre Pienaar remix, the energy is there, the track doesn't sound like pop you know what i mean

yes i do pre-listening and i use somewhere in the config of VDJ where it says automatic beatmatching, i use the smart option, so i need to adjust the beatmatching with the arrows key at keyboard when they are off beat.
And thanks for the explanations dfx



Its the first set I hear from you, great start! 

for you! Fantastic set and indeed, what DFX said: top notch quality all tracks, and energetic! Trance the way we want it
