If an incoming song has a long gentle intro, you may want to increase the overlap because the song doesn't pick fast enough. Or you may want to start the incoming song earlier-shortening the overlap-because there's a drop off in energy at the end of the first song. In this example, you'll increase the overlap of the tracks.
Each track automatically comes with one "sprocket" at the beginning of the song (Intro Sprocket) and another at the end (Outro Sprocket). Just as sprockets help film move through a film projector, MixMeister sprockets link two songs at a particular place. Sprockets determine the overlap between songs, and they also typically indicate the beginning of a fade-out.
When you increase the overlap, notice that the Outro Sprocket of the first song stays lined up with the Intro Sprocket of the second song.
In the Timeline, scroll to the transition between the first two tracks.
Hold your mouse over the vertical red line at
the beginning of the music plot for the second track.
If you are in the right place, the text "Intro Sprocket"
appears.
Use your mouse to drag the Intro Sprocket to the
right.
When you stop dragging, the second track moves to the left.
Click the Timeline just before the Outro Sprocket of the first song.
Click the Play From Cursor Position button at the top of the window.
