have you ever tried recording a mix not knowing half the tracks...

its so annoying! crowds are much easier

A Demo CD can't contain any trainwreck at all.. not even a slight beat going out of place cause you're being picked on by some djs. I think it's ok to have a demo cd being edited. We amateur djs can't and don't really want to spend days in front of the decks mixing on the same tracklist over and over. Even the professional djs release cds that are either mixed on computer or were later edited on computer. Once the demo cds are out and you get the gig it wouldn't hurt and probably it'd be unnoticable to fuck up a mix a bit. Ever listen to livesets? Even PvD or tiesto or Armin fucks up every once in a while...there's no harm in that.

I really don't see the logic in this method

If you can't mix it at home, then gonna be able to do it in a dancing either

Shit I thought I was the only one. I tried a live broadcast last night and as soon as I started my concentration went and I basically couldn't be fucked continuing.

Probably not wise...

here is my view on editing.. as stated before.

i use it to clean up a couple of mixes i dont like or rearrange a few tracks. i dont have the time to sit in front of the decks and re-mix the whole cd to perfection. playing live isnt a problem, and the occasional beat slippage is normal (not talking trainwreck or anything near that.. just the things that are more pronounced in a cd than in a live set).

for instance, in my latest cd, there was a mix in the middle, where i started the record 32 beats too early. in a live set, you really wouldnt notice cuz the beats were on.. but in the cd, i didnt like it, so i re-did it on the fly. and at the end of my cd, i didnt like the way i fit the last 3 tracks, so i went back and re-mixed the last 4 tracks and edited those in.

for me and my friends, our mix cd's really arent shocaseing our mixing skills, they are really a way of providing our music to our friends, the music we love and our friends love, but they dont have access to.

i know everybody doesnt agree w/ the process of editing and that is fine. i also didnt really start doing this until i had a firm grasp of my mixing skills. not everybody is perfect everytime, and the little blips i encounter when making cd's are pretty much transparent when i spin out. the other thing you have to remember is you dont have that crowd, that interaction, that vibe when recording and hence it makes it a bit difficult to capture the true essence of a live set w/ your interaction with you and the wall in front of you

i was just trying to mix a CD for my GF today..but i never passed the 4th track.. i dont use my computer for recording, i use a MD player to record...so everytime i screw up i have to erase and rerecord...errr..... and finally i quit for today.. proly do it tommro.. sometimes i can feel the music real** good sometimes not.. so maybe tommrow is a better day^^ and YES its harder to mix when u r recording

Posted by Gourhellyea on Mar-11-2003 17:31:

haha we all feel you man, but i must say that after all the stress i had recording my mixing did get a little better.

I find that knowing I can always edit a mix helps me relax and Improves my mixing.

Spinning on the radio is the same thing for me...I give nervous and screw up more but I have been getting more relaxed when I do my radio show! Just relax
