Looking for some advice on a recent live set...

...I did a live set at www.afterhoursdjs.org in early April, you can download it at the following link:

http://music.texasbeatz.net/dj-mix-mp3/970

I will quickly say that I have improved a great deal even in the month since that set, as well, here is my own critique:

- The sound quality is not ideal. The set was broadcast at 96kbps, and also piped into the computer through a line-in input on my motherboard's onboard sound. Going to partially fix this by buying a higher end sound card with RCA ins, most likely the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum

- Volume levels aren't entirely consistent. Need to work on smoothing out the gain levels throughout the set, as things are probably a little too loud in a couple of areas.

- Needs more EQ work during tracks, which will come when I spend less time beatmatching (and chatting in IRC channel while doing set)

- A couple of the tracks in the set are out of place. No idea why I stuck in "Lange - Follow Me (Dark Moon remix) at around 19:00 into the set.

- Transitions need improvement. Did not properly sync up 32 beat patterns in a few places. As well, the bass in a couple of transitions did not match up well (different types of bass "kicks" that didn't work well together)

I'm looking for thoughts, comments, suggestions, opinion on track selection, etc., so please give it a listen.

Damn, I suppose that would help.

Unfortunately I don't have a tracklist, but it's mostly progressive house/trance and a tiny bit of harder stuff.
