![]() Both songs are blending together for the entirety of 4 bars before I must switch again! Transition 4 After fading out “Finesse” I have to turn the loop I previously set for the incoming Jay Z (“I Just Wanna Love You”) acapella then bounce my controller back to Hot Cue mode so I can trigger “It’s about to go down” on the ONE (1/4 note) of every bar as I perform my scratch routine. Carefully watch! Once I successfully merge the speed of “GOL,” my right hand moves to my laptop’s keyboard to highlight the next song. You might presume my attention moves over to the laptop inorder to beat match by looking at the Serato waveforms but that’s not what’s happening. This exchange takes place in just 3 beats!!! Transition 3 As “GOL” is mixing with the “Finesse” (Bruno Mars) acapella, you’ll notice my head turn towards the laptop. ![]() In a split second, my eyes verify “GOL” is engaged and I launch it on a FOUR (1/4 note). Also, being limited to tracking what measure I’m dropping to on “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” by following handclaps that appear on the AND of every 1/4 note requires extra focus! Transition 2 Here I echo out using my Rane One’s effects toggle switch on a ONE (1/4 note) then hold the right joggle wheel with my left hand while my right moves to the laptop and switches from “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” (Jet) to “Genius of Love” (Tom Tom Club). So the vocals are absent from a drum beat I can use as a guide to beat match. TASK SWITCHING BREAKDOWN Transition 1 “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” into “Finesse” features a baby scratch into a 4 E & UH (16th note) drop.
