.If a record does not fit into your set because of the breakdown riff etc then play another song ffs.I thought dj-ing was about playing tracks that fit together well so you can blend them easier into one another and not about playing hostile followed by wham bam thank you mam with a beefed up bassline 'so it fits'
We're on about adjusting tracks to suit a djs style, as for making them easier to mix in many cases it makes them harder because you end up tidying them up, most of the tracks I edited come down to under 6 mins whereas a lot of tracks go on for up to 8 (just rough figures before anyone throws their toys at me
) - I just cut out the filler sections or cut down on what I consider boring sections so that my sets hammer along nicely instead of the crowd that I was playing to get bored.
Its nothing to do with making tracks that would never sound good together 'fit' - its about adjusting the track you've bought and plan to play out.
Karim 'edits' tracks on a higher level with his bootlegs to make them work for him, again that's cool but for the rest of us its not.
Get fucked
edit - harder as in you have less time to mix with, less options for cue points etc, have to be more on the ball with mixer work because the tracks end up shorter and coming at you a lot quicker, for me anyways.
