Transition overlapping vocals
Post Body

Iā€™m mixing house music. And at some points I find myself trying to transition to the next song (in the circle of 5ths) and there are parts where the vocals just arenā€™t mixing well. Not necessarily clashing but itā€™s too much for my personal taste . Iā€™m still a beginner and would appreciate some helpful tips. Iā€™m on a DDJ-FLX6 (itā€™s okay Iā€™m not a cheateršŸ˜˜)

Right, so thatā€™s why you want to almost never overlap vocals is for that very reason. On rare occasion the timing works out just right to where they perfectly line up to where you can have them overlap without clashing, but thatā€™s a matter of happy accidents combined with split-second timing.

Why make it hard on yourself? Just donā€™t do it. Make it easy, especially in the beginning. For instance, have a looped acapella going on track A, and then transition into the break of track B 8-16 bars before the drop. If you fade or effect out of the loop A while the B track starts itā€™s buildup then it creates a lot of tension in prep for that release, makes the drop ā€œfeelā€ like it hits harder emotionally, and keeps the energy level going.
