6.5. Switching from one piece to another
The art of mixing consists of preparing the next piece while a given piece is being played. When
the piece being played reaches its end, the DJ switches from one piece to the other progressively
using the crossfader, which regulates the volume of the two decks. This technique enables you to
avoid empty space between two pieces.

avoid empty space between two pieces.
Example: a piece is being played on the left-hand deck, so the crossfader is therefore pushed
completely to the left. To switch to the next piece, the DJ moves the crossfader to the right at the
same moment he starts up playback on the right-hand deck.

Naturally, there are many ways to switch from one piece to another: you can move the crossfader
slowly, create back-and-forth effects, etc. Just use your imagination!

The transition between two pieces should be perfect thanks to the pitch synchronization carried
out previously. Should you notice a slight discrepancy, however, use the Pitch bend - / +
buttons. These buttons are the equivalents of the DJ giving a little push to the vinyl on his
turntable, or slowing down the deck with his hand. The pitch modification value increases the
more the Pitch bend button is pressed.
