No, I'm pretty sure they asseble the entire thing in Pro Tools, using it
for pitch/speed correction & whatnot. There are points throughout various
DJ Kicks volumes where there are upwards of 3 tracks audible, kind of the
litmus test for non-turntable construction (unless you're Mills/Growth). I
don't want to slag this approach, I often enjoy this sort of mix more than
a live one. All of the particularly tough tracks and combinations to mix
together (or very short tracks, tracks that would otherwise fall between +8
@ 33rpm/-8 @ 45rpm, etc...) would be explored in the studio setting. I
mean, with Pro Tools (depending on how much time you're willing to spend
working on yr mix) you could ostensibly mix any track w/any other. It's
kind of ideal... -Våt
