ist mix

How long did u mix before u recorded ur 1st mix and how did it turn out becuase i mix fine when not recording and when i do i fuk up a couple times any tips?

lol i do that ive never recorded a mix cose i go to shit as some as i start recording and im never happy with the result

i do this quite a lot when i tape mixes, usualyy if i stay off the decks for about a week or so then just go on them and record it straight away them im much better at mixing, because i havent been on them for so long

yeh, same here, when i start recording i think i try too hard to get it right and end up screwing it up

so im gonna keep practicing without recording until i get better. I do have about 8 recorded mixes but each one has 1 or 2 trainwrecks which sucks cos the rest of it is really good.

meh, keep practicing

I used to get this and its fecking annoying, actually ,tbh, im still never happy with anything i record! Even if the beatmatching is pefect, ill always find something else wrong with it!

The best way i found to get round the "over concentrating" and nervousness when recording is to record as much of my mixing as possible, then when it comes to recording something for a promo, your a little more relaxed.

any good dj is naturally going to be unsatisfied with his mixes. I say any good dj, I should say any ambitious DJ. Don't be like the people who suck and are cocky (a lot of the noobies who think they have this ridiculous natural talent after playing on tables for 5 minutes). I am sure your mixing is fine, or will become so, and if you are never totally satisfied that just shows you want to keep getting better and outdoing yourself. It's a good way of thinking in my opinion.

i can never seem to mix properly when i'm recording it, its well annoying

thnx a whole lot guys i feel a lot better ill keep ur the practice and try to get better

I used to have huge difficulties mixing while recording too, I got nervous and started fucking mixes up.

Nowadays I record every single mix I make and it's getting easier every single time... though since I am over-critical I don't put any of them online since I always find something wrong about them...

Best mixes go unrecorded, I guess. I concentrate too much on the mixing. It is so much easier to mix when you don't care about technical details.

everyone has this problem, we always want to pull out the perfect mix and get nervous I guess. But as said, recording every time is your best bet IMO; I don't record it every time and when I do it I'm actually quite more focused and they can be alright, but I'm sure that if I'd do it everytime, I wouldn't get nervous as often...

only noobs make mistakes when mixing.

I have that problem... most of the time when im under a bit of pressure i mess up. Luckily when i was doing a mix live on Syn FM (on a laptop lol) i didnt completly screw it

Edit:although..... sometimes that pressure does help

maybe this is just the newbie part of me coming out, but did you not do the mixing in: Mr.Mystery - Tranceaddicts Unite Part 1 and 2???
