Question about DJ mix tape (CD)

[jasedee]

HELP!!!!

I have a friend coming round to put together a compilation for a local label, they have supplied the CD's and tracklist, and want him to mix it.

He is a HipHop DJ, and can scratch well, and is using a Pioneer CDJ1000 (Only 1). I am using Cubase SX 2.023

He has kinda left things till the last minute and thinks he can come around and knock it over in about 2 hours, and I have tried to explain that we might (probably) need more time, especially if he doesnt want to put something out national that is not of good quality. My question is....whats the best way of doing this???

Should I start by getting the first track to the desired BPM, using the CDJ1000, and record this. Then, cue up the next track and get him to beatmix it in, at the point he wants, and then overdub any other scratching he wants to do....and then same thing. Cue next track on CDJ, and find the drop point etc.....

I know there is software out there that will stretch in real time (Ableton Live) and Im not so sure if I can do this in SX. Should I Import all tracks into SX, stretch them accordingly to whatever BPM, mix them within SX, and then just get him to do some scratching over the top? If so, how do I do this, or is it better to at least have some live mixing instead of doing it all via software

Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers!!!
