Three newbie mixes - House, Uplifting Trance, Harder Trance

Just started messing around with my new external mixer and DJ Traktor Studio 2.6... I made 3 mixes so far and would like some constructive criticism to improve my techniques... So far I've been thought a fading technique and told to work on my sound levels, that's considered criticism, not "DUDE YOUR MIX SUCKS!"

Hey man, Just listenened to your club mix, I liked it.
Here are some comments on the transitions:

1st pretty rapid fade out and a little off, however not disturbing.

2nd sounds ok, again a bit off, if it wasnt' it would be great.

3rd hehehe at the 14:55 mark you can tell you hit the sync button,
most of the time it's pretty accurate but if it is not; then you're lost

4th nice transition, little abrupt with the fade out, pretty good tho.
With the Punch Drunk song it skips a bit and I hear windows sounds, that
kind of disrupts the flow of the set.

5th one, is pretty nice, a strange fade out of the Punch Drunk song,
but the way Gehts noch kicks in is great!

Last transition; pretty solid, although a bit of skipping.
Hey, never heard this song, really like it!

I also use traktor and updating soundcard drivers really helped avoiding skipping.
Furthermore watch out for overbassing and turn of the windows sounds.

In general I like the set you put some really good tracks in it.
Mixingwise you still a little of with the beatmatching, but for your first set
this is pretty good, better beatmachting always comes with practice.

Will listen to your second mix also, like your track selection man!
