Forum: Mix lessons - Topic: Anyone have a Beginner Mixing Tutorial?

Hey VDJ Users,

I was wondering if anyone had a Beginner Mixing Tutorial? Like how to pick two right songs that would mix together, what point in a song to start mixing (so you don't leave out the good part), if you are supposed to kill the bass when you actually start to mix, how to actually do the mix, is it just cross fading from one deck to another? Please give me every step of advice you can think of when you are mixing. I know this sounds very basic but I am very new.

In case you wanted to know my setup,

CD Player:
--Numark NDX400

Mixer:
--Numark M3

Please make it organized so "I" can understand it. Hahaha.

Thanks Everyone who will contribute.
