ATB?? and his mixing style??

Ok i just picked up ATB's moving melodies and I thought it was pretty good.. then I also just finished listening to 2 worlds, addicted to music and dedicated and also trance nation america and it seems that he doesnt do any mixing in any of his cds other than the trance nation cd.. why doesnt he?? does he suck that bad at it or what?? I never really heard a trance artists that doesnt fade his songs into other songs.. just kinda funny.. but i do love ATB's music and love how he writes and produces all of his music.. well 90% of it..

I havent heard any ATB dj mixes, but what i think you are getting at is the tracks are not mixed on his CDs? The tracks are purposely not mixed. They are his own productions and he keeps the tracks separate. When producers make their own produced CD's like Tiesto's "in my memory" cd its not mixed because they can't mix, tracks are separated as each track is its own entity. And the 'trance nation' cd is a mixed cd, like a compilation of work. Does this make sense and answer your question?

so the diff is Mixed CD vs Album aight?

What about PvD's "Out There and Back"? Personally, I prefer artist's CD albums to be mixed. Keep the unmixed for the vinyl version! Just my opinion.

First of all, both 'Movin Melodies' and 'Two Worlds' are mixed. So is 'Trance Mix USA 1' and his new 'The DJ: In the Mix' CD, so what the hell are you talking about?

I've heard albums that aren't mixed... But the answer to your question, does he suck at mixing, yea u bet he does

lol.... movin melodies is definitely mixed. the whole album may not be a complete dance set, but tracks definitely flow from one to another

i dont really care for ATB's music, but i do like him live, although i aint really heard anything from ATB for quite a while, seems like his 15 minutes of fame may be over...

The best part about him is his productions. He sucks live, not a good dj. Second, what do you mean you have'nt heard from him in a while, he just released a 2cd mix. Third, he's been a very hot topic here lately so I dont know where that '15 minutes' comes from...

yeah but his productions have changed alot, hes turned from a dancy guitar trance sorta thing to a housey vibe.

personally i liked him more when he was new to the trance scene, none of these girly vocals etc.

You are so wrong.

Movin' Melodies is definitely not mixed. I have had the album for four years, and i know for a fact that it is not mixed.

'Dedicated' is his best album. Perfectly put together...has tracks like 'Remember' and 'Halcyon'

even if the tracks flow well together its not a mix cd, no mixing. therefore 'movin melodies' is definitely NOT mixed

it sounds like that album was mixed on a computer. It sounds nice that the tracks are original material and mixed.

I havent listened to any new ATB material since 'movin melodies'

ATB?? and his mixing style??

are awesome. he always has a great track selection and his mixing is usually on. he is easily comparable to any other dj out there. his new mix cd is great.

Posted by InfiniteSquare on Jan-07-2004 07:30:

hes just as good as pvd

....and hes not a weasel!

Whoa, you CANNOT count mix cds, they're always sound engineered by someone else and falsely advertised to the consumer as mixed by "so and so". Tiesto got a GREAT sound engineer
