[ENG-ESP] What is mixing in the DJ culture? / Que es la mezcla en la cultura DJ?

You may have wondered what music mixing is all about. Well, in the DJ culture it is the art of joining songs in real time played uninterruptedly one after the other synchronized rhythmically. In other words, it is to listen to several consecutive songs as if they were one. Here are the types of mixes and what they consist of.
Puede que te hayas preguntado en que consiste la mezcla de musica. Pues te comento que en la cultura DJ es el arte de unir canciones en tiempo real reproducidas ininterrumpidamente una tras otra sincronizadas rítmicamente. Dicho de otra manera, es escuchar varias canciones consecutivas como si fueran una sola. Aqui te presento tipos de mezcla y en qué consisten.
In all of them there are always two common actions:
-Start the mix (In the Mix), type of mix or execution of the mix to the action that we carry out once we have synchronized and we begin to change one track for another.
-End or remove the mix (Out Mix): In the out mix there are only two ways to exit: one through the track leaving or ending with a fade out, and the other by cutting the fader in time/beat.
En todas van a intervenir siempre dos acciones comunes:
-Iniciar la mezcla. (In the Mix), tipo de mezcla o de ejecución de la mezcla a la acción que llevamos a cabo una vez hemos sincronizado y empezamos a cambiar un track por otro.
-Finalizar o quitar la mezcla (Out Mix): En el out mix únicamente existen dos formas de salir: una a través del tema que se va o se acaba con un fade out, y la otra cortando, cut, el fader a tiempo/beat.
There are several ways to start the mixture but only two ways to remove it. These two ways to remove it are:
-Cut (Cutting the sound)
-Fade Out: The sound fades out gradually, while in the cut, the transition is fast, hence the name.
Existen varias formas para iniciar la mezcla pero únicamente dos para quitarla. Estas dos formas de quitarla son:
-Cut (Cortando el sonido)
-Fade Out: El sonido se desvanece gradualmente, mientras que en el corte, la transición es rápida, de ahí su nombre.

1 - Simple Mix:
It is based on synchronizing by headphones in pre-listening a track or song and gradually raising the fader when you have decided to start the mix so that it enters (sounding) the track in fade in (gradually from less to more in volume) merging with the track that was already playing previously before starting the mix. The mix will only be carried out in full when the two faders are up, holding the measures that the mix lasts. The way to remove the disk is from more to less (fade out) or cutting abruptly (cut). The intention of this type of mix is that when you change from one song to another it is neither perceived nor noticed.
1 - Mix o Mezcla Simple:
Se basa en sincronizar por auriculares en preescucha un tema o canción e ir subiendo poco a poco el fader cuando hayas decidido iniciar la mezcla para que vaya entrando (sonando) dicho tema en fade in (de forma gradual de menos a más en volumen) fusionándose con el tema que ya sonaba previamente antes de iniciar la mezcla. Solo se llevará a cabo la mezcla en plenitud cuando los dos faders estén arriba, aguantando los compases que dura la misma. La forma de quitar el disco es de más a menos (fade out) o cortando bruscamente (cut) La intención de este tipo de mezcla es que cuando cambies de una canción a otra ni se perciba ni se note.

2- Fly Mix:
Once we have synchronized the record we are going to play, we will raise the fader of the track we are going to enter up to the top, looking for the specific point to launch it, and we will throw it on the fly. You have to be very precise, because if you have to rectify a bad input it will always be with the fader raised. For this kind of performances you have to work with the MASTER TEMPO activated, this way we will avoid that any sound rectification is very noticeable, because all the tones are locked in their original key. The output, as in all mixes, is either fade out or cut. In this case you can embellish the input by playing the cue at tempo on the track you are going to mix it with. The clubbers will know that the track has just come in, because this is the goal.
2- Fly Mix o Mezcla al Vuelo:
Una vez sincronizado el disco que vamos a poner, levantaremos hasta arriba el fader del tema que vamos a entrar, buscando el punto concreto para lanzarlo, y lo tiraremos al vuelo. Tienes que ser muy preciso, porque si hay que rectificar una mala entrada siempre será con el fader levantado. Para este tipo de ejecuciones hay que trabajar con el MASTER TEMPO activado, de esta forma evitaremos que cualquier rectificación sonora se perciba mucho, ya que todos los tonos se bloquean en su clave original. La salida, como en todas las mezclas, o fade out o cut/corte. En este caso puedes adornar la entrada jugando con el cue a tempo sobre el tema con el que lo vas mezclar. Los clubbers se enterarán de que el tema acaba de entrar, porque este es el objetivo.

3 - Pseudo Fly Mix or False Fly Mix:
Phantom or false mix, not because it is not a mix but because the objective is to offer the same auditory sensation as those of more risk. In this case, once we have the discs synchronized, we will launch the disc that we are going to enter by pre listening. When we have it well rectified we will raise suddenly the fader without lowering the other one, giving the same spectacularity of the flying mix. But with the exception that it comes controlled from the pre-listening. The auditory sensation is the same, but the risk is smaller.
3 - Pseudo Fly Mix o Falsa Mezcla al Vuelo:
Fantasma o falsa mezcla, no porque no sea una mezcla sino porque el objetivo es ofrecer la misma sensación auditiva que las de más riesgo. En este caso, una vez tenemos los discos sincronizados, lanzaremos el disco que vamos a entrar por pre escucha. Cuando lo tengamos bien rectificado levantaremos de golpe el fader sin bajar el otro, dando la misma espectacularidad del flying mix. Pero con la salvedad que viene controlado desde la pre escucha. La sensación auditiva es la misma, pero el riesgo es menor.

4 - Cut Mix :
It is based on cutting the sound (remove or turn off the sound quickly) passing from one song to another without losing the tempo (bpm). It is done in the following way; the fader of the song that is going to enter next is raised, the play button is pressed or the song that is going to enter is released. At the same time, you cut the song that is playing on the master by lowering its fader and then press the stop button of the song that was previously playing on the master. The mix starts just when the song that enters when you press the play button or release that song by quickly lowering the fader of the song that was playing on the master. Both songs must be synchronized before the mix is performed. No trick or gimmick, the cut is the pure and hard cut, even to change beats, style, DJ.
4 - Cut Mix o Mezcla al Corte:
Se fundamenta en cortar el sonido (quitar o apagar el sonido rápidamente) pasando de una canción a otra sin perder el tempo (bpm). Se realiza de la siguiente forma; se sube el fader de la canción que va a entrar a continuación, se pulsa el botón de reproducir (play) o se suelta el tema que va a entrar. A la misma vez, se corta el tema que está sonando por el máster bajando su fader y se pulsa después el botón de parada o stop de dicho tema que sonaba anteriormente por el máster. La mezcla se inicia justo cuando se reproduce la canción que entra al pulsar el botón play o soltar dicho tema bajando rápidamente el fader de la canción que sonaba por el máster. Ambas canciones tienen que estar sincronizadas previamente a la realización de la mezcla. Sin trampa ni cartón, el cut es el corte puro y duro, incluso para cambiar de beats, de estilo, de DJ.

5 - Pseudo Cut Mix or False Cut Mix:
Once we have the record synchronized with the one that is playing, we will launch the record by pre-listening. We will rectify to beat, we will raise suddenly the fader and, at the same time, we will cut the other fader, giving this way the sensation of a cut. This action can be presented by entering and exiting the track we are going to play. We enter with channel A and cut channel B, but at the rhythm of the tracks. I go in and out, in and out and then, at the point where I want to leave it, I cut and the track stays for the audience to enjoy dancing to.
5 - Pseudo Cut Mix o Falsa Mezcla al Corte:
Una vez tenemos el disco sincronizado con el que está sonando, lanzaremos el disco por pre escucha. Rectificaremos a beat, levantaremos de golpe el fader y, al mismo tiempo, cortaremos el otro fader, dando así la sensación de un corte. Esta acción la podemos presentar entrando y saliendo el tema que vamos a poner. Entramos con el canal A y cortamos el canal B, pero al ritmo de los temas. Entro y salgo, entro y salgo y, después, en el punto donde quiero dejarlo, corto y se queda el track para que el público lo disfrute bailando.

Not bad. I use the "Pseudo Cut Mix" last time very often when I mix Cumbia stuff and similar; there it fits very good. But to be honest: if I have some single shakers, hi hats or similar in the new track, I can't avoid to mix them in almost "as early as possible", Some element(s) I can carry into the new track before I go full in - I am so used to House technics and the try to make perfect blendings. This is the reason too, why I really don't like it to switch hard on drops... Because it's hard to find a real perfect fitting ongoing sound. So here to: I try to keep at least the bass drum from the old track alive via STEMs for example... But I know that it's not really needed... Maybe I am really to critical. I assume so. We as DJ always hear things different during our session, more fine... But on the dancefloor, nobody cares. And the proof of that we listen it different is when we record our sets and listen 2, 3 days later to it... Then all the critical moments are... "where are they?"...
I am looking forward to your next aricle!
