its been a long time since ive listened to progressive trance. i acutally stopped messing with it around 2004 because of what i perceived as a dry spell in good tracks being released.

this is a great set. i am about half way through but the mixing is pretty much spot on, tracks are flowing very nicely, very cohesive, very thoughtfully put together, very intelligent tracks

what kind of equipment are you using? i can pick it apart later if you really want me to but at this point youre better than most djs who make too much money doing this

haha nah that's good enough. I made a couple of mistakes but if you didn't hear it then it's fine. As for the equipment, mouse and keyboard lol. Still debating weather I should go with a CDJ system or a Laptop system. Listen to the ending its my favorite part of the mix

[jadeddjay]

haha yea thats why i asked before i was going to say anything about the eqing but keyboard and mouse, theres only so much you can do (or really need to do) without a mixer.

i hard some beats drifting a bit, but nothing too remarkable. some of the mixes were alitlte awkard but i know you handled them as well as any. if tracks are pretty harmonically different, i would suggest waiting alittle longer until you mix them in, sacrificing some momentum but thats just me and thats just a style call

get some proper equipment : P

be more careful about your volumes. some of your tracks are really quiet and others are really loud. so watch your levels carefully

some of your longer mixes were drifting as far as beatmatching but you corrected pretty well

if there is alot of stuff going on towards an end of a track, try mixing in the next track as its farther along instead of abruptly going from one track that has built up alot of energy to the beginning beats of the next track. that way you keep the momentum going and you dont loose momentum by mixing a track in too early in that track when its just intro beats. esp with effects, use them sparingly between tracks to force yourself to mix them more seamlessly as they are. this way you can be more purposeful effective with your effects usage

as far as structure goes, remember that you are mixing in 4/4 so everything will happen in factors of 4. so there will be things that happen every 4 beats, things that happen every 16, 32, and 64. dont worry about counting though. think about your set as a library, each track as a book in that library, each book made of chapters that are made of sentences. each book will have a beginning, middle, and end. so be patient when you are going to mix in but dont wait too long. dont phase the other one out too abruptly unless they are very similar and you are doing it for a reason.

there are always good markers that signfy the leadin for different sections in a song, like a long build up snare, or a series of beats, some key lyric or something like that. these are the points that you want to push off the next track. and points that you want to begin fading out a track. after a while, you should be able to feel it coming

when you are cueing up a track, make sure its as well beatmatched as possible so you dont have to fiddle too much with the track thats coming in or going out... that is until you get very comfortable with riding the pitch

after all this, start organizing your library... one book after another. i wasnt too clear on the direction of your set

good tracks, you did a good job. thanks for posting and we hope to hear more from you want watch listen for your progression

I appreciate the feedback.

I have no direction... I think that's what I'm doing now though... just being random and trying different things. I've got ideas on how to make things sound better, but sometimes it flops and sometimes its great.

As far as "mixing" goes, I think my last one was the best one overall with very few flaws... but the track selection was definitely random.

I think going forward I should start studying my sound track better before attempting to mix to key in on those snares or key points, etc.

I'll try to put more thought and effort into the next one. Might be a little while though... my day job is bonkers this week

Does anyone remember that old mix (going back like 10 years ago) "Tick tock..you make my heart stop baby and you don't stop ..." I have not heard that mix in years & I just heard it on Sean Tyas's December podcast episode. Brought back memories

[TiAg335i]

Random thought...

But I'm glad this thread has as much activity as it does.
