So you have just created an awesome bass line, jumping lead, and pounding drum groove that gel perfectly together but something is missing. When everything hits something just seems wrong or out of place. Were you using the wrong synth patch? Perhaps the wrong kick sample? Maybe the musical material from the verse and chorus do not make sense together. Or maybe you just transitioned wrong.
In this tutorial we are going to cover all things about creating smooth musical transitions. While it is important to have quality musical material in your tracks, you still need to transition between them well or everything may seem rushed or jumbled. If your verse just jumps into the chorus with no rhyme or reason then the chorus will usually seem really out of place and the same could be said for the reverse.
