Why aren't tracks more DJ-friendly?

hit pause, set up some more cue points, bring the fader across and back effectively cutting out those bars.
There are so many different ways of working around it. |

Yes, once I buy CDJ-1000s I'm sure I'll have plenty of fun doing that but for now I'm stuck with this $180 stanton rackmount unit on which none of that is feasible 
Here I clipped the ending of the track out in audacity so you can see what I'm talking about:

Frightmarez - GORUMP PEYYA, original release and people say it was a glitch in the mastering. As a bonus for a TrainWreck in the middle, Keep the Hate - Odd Harmonic
Trainwreck again to create balance and add a choo choo train sample if you have one, drop some screams while your at it. For fun stop the whole wreck and scream party as load as you can the drop the nastiest track you have. Djing just isn't about mixing, don't forget your a performer as well.
I mix on many decks so I would untrainwreck it by matching beats with the train itself.

Sorry, I spit coffee all over my keyboard. Can you say that again? |

If you have a x-fader on your mixer you can work around it. Where there is a will there is a way. |

I am not seeing how I can fix tracks not being lined up with the crossfader. Please educate me.
Let's say I start the outgoing track on the first beat after that breakdown. The tracks will be lined up UNTIL the extra bar at about 1:07 in that clip I posted.
At that point, the incoming track will be one bar ahead of the outgoing one in phrasing, so the incoming track's fills and drops will come one bar earlier.
And then again at 1:37 it gets made even worse by ANOTHER extra bar. |

Its suppose to be funny and make coffee fly from your mouth.. life/mixing should be taken so serious, it takes away the Joy and also relaxes the ego..

So in other words, don't mix? |

Did I say don't mix or is that your perception?
If your CD started to skip would you beat match it for a smooth mix or would you just hit stop as you let the new track play?
Balance is located in the metaphysical section.

The fader will be across for those fills, so you won't hear them. |

The link isn't working for me.
Why do you have to wait for the outro to overlay the tracks? |

Trainwreck RK9 is also a type of weed, when a three way goes terribly wrong, a halt ending in confusion and can sound like shoes in the dryer.
Please don't forget about the Harmonics of the TrainWreck, you can work from that angle as well. If you can get control of the wreck with your ears and hand coordination you can find a compatible key and take the flow back, as if you never lost it.
There are also tons of turntablelism tricks as well.
Try without the fader.

Okay rehosted the MP3s on a different host
Bad: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rfm/trans.mp3
And here, chopped together with the use of audacity, is what I want it to sound like: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rfm/bettertrans.mp3
To answer your question, I've found a couple of other good mixout points, but they're so early in the track that I've scarcely finished mixing IN to it at that point. So it's not practical, especially since I need to give myself time to pick the next track anyway. |
