Darude made Sandstorm and Basshunter made Bass is Kickin. (I think...)

For someone learning the software it sounds like you need to listen to more mixes, and practice a bit and you should get the swing of things pretty quickly.

My advice would be have patience when beat matching, if it doesn't sync, it sounds horrible, that's the #1 thing not to be lazy about.

Also, don't just mash songs together, have it go from one song to another, say Sandstorm is building up and rising, right at its release you can change the crossfader 100% to Bass is Kickin for a neat effect, then perhaps as it builds swap back.

Having two songs in similar music key often yields far better results.

Also if Virtual Dj Pro supports more then two tracks, try mixing 3-5 songs, just using small segments of the songs you like, add a solo drum section from one part to the ambient beatless section of the other.

Its more like mixing and matching a puzzle then it is about having them sync up on their own.

Keep posting results here and I'll gladly let you know what I think.

Ok!Will do:thup:

Btw sadly it only supports up to 2 songs at a time

EDIT: Can you also suggest a few songs that would mix well together?Im not really into techno,so I don't know alot about it.

Any electro/techno/trance/house styled music is super easy to beatmatch and mix. Its good beginner stuff. Avoid lyrics.

Stuff like...

Note its slow, simple in musical structure, and very down tempo. You won't need to do backflips to make this work into other songs.

You may not like music like that, but if you keep the songs simple, learning to mix will be much easier. Then once you have the technical side of things understood, you can expand to mixing things you like. I'm guessing you are a fan of metal given the Slipknot avatar and image in your profile. Mixing metal and electronic music could be very cool.

Ok,i'll practice with echno/house music and once in awhile I'll try some Metal/Techno

Btw what exactly is House music?

 

[Jimpy]

Modern house as most know it tends to be really lame music that's composed of melodies made from alternating chords with a 4x4 kick and reliant mainly on instrumental layering.

This link is your friend for understanding genres and sub-genres.

House is the music played in alot of clubs, mostly because its danceable. Examples would be Infinity - Guru Josh Project, Right on Time - Spencer & Hill and This Time - DJ Antoine.My favourite weekly house DJ mix is by the very well known (atleast in Europe) Sebastien B, you can get it on iTunes, see how that sounds to get a feel for it.

And heres the three websites every professional DJ uses:

http://www.trackitdown.net/

http://www.beatport.com

http://www.junodownload.com/

Listen to some tracks there and see what style you like.
