Downloading the set, some great older tunes in here. I'm really curiour how you pulled off that last transition,


Posted by alefort on Dec-10-2006 15:25:

First mix was fundamentally sound, but the songs don't really mesh well together. So much energy in the first track, it seems to get lost in 'Air for Life'.

Second Mix worked incredibly better, a few times the tracks come out of phase, but you very quickly adjust it. So far EQing seems to be good.

Nice, Like the overall feel of the third mix. Slight slip up in the beatmatching throughout the mix, but to be frank, I'm loving it. I am so sick of hearing Ableton Mixes nowadays, its nice to hear something mixed on proper equipment.

Next mix, started great, but seemed you may have killed the Ferry track a little too much when you did.

Great timing on the next mix, slightly off at the start, came back in, but then what happened. LOL. Did you touch the platter.....

This track is much darker than 'Alone Tonight' was, not too sure if this was a good choice to mix into. Will have to see where this goes.

Yeah, great track, but it doesn't seem to work well with Alone Tonight.

Little bit of a burp there. This mix already sounds perfect, the two tracks compliment each other so well. Yup, great mix! Best mix so far and the tracks work so well together! Wow, what a track this is, bring me back to when I really fell in Love with Trance, and This track easily described what Ferry was playing in 2004.

Next transition comes in beautifully. I would have kept the Highs in the previous song up longer, would have given a nice touch. But Great mix, you're really starting to pick up momentum now and the songs are flowing really well together.

Oh Yeah, now we are talking. Perfect, loving this. I bought this track a few weeks back, haven't even had a chance to spin it yet, LOL. Your flow is incredible! Tracks 6 through 9 are are picking up so well, you've completely made me forget the flow in the first 5 tracks.

Working your way into Lift, what a track. Not too sure if these two tracks go hand in hand, but nonetheless the flow wasn't interrupted too much.

This track is to this day, Sean's best original Work. Absolutely untouchable.

Last mix is working pretty well, very interesting change. I didn't know how this was going to work and was skeptic, but you pulled it off. Good mix, comes apart near the end, but eh.

Overall:

This set was a neat little journey. The first 5 songs lacked flow, and you seemed to be finding your touch from mix to mix. Then came Scott Bond vs Solar Stone - 3rd Earth and you were off!

From that track into the last track, fantastic flow. Not only did the flow work extremely well, but you seemed to find your touch during the transitions. Your mixing was top notch from Track 6 on.

Areas I would work on are Flow (although you nailed it in the last half), as something was missing in the first half. Do you record often? If not, it might explain the 'rough' transitions in the first half. I recommend recording more often, get used to the pressure.

What I absolutely loved is your mixture of new and old tracks, sign of a True DJ. None of this "OMG I have to play this week's hottest tunes...." You found tracks that worked well, and saw beyond their age. Well done.

Looking forward to your next effort!

Score: 7.4 / 10

Thank you very much for taking the time to give me a thorough review, this was an on-the-fly mix that I didn't intend on releasing but after listening to it I thought it was worthy. I would of put a bit more time into the track placement if I knew I was going to upload it.

I have recorded a fair few mixes, I have more online - I had been using Virtual DJ/Ableton Live but recently got my Behringer DJX700 Mixer and a pair of CDJ's. I've still got plenty more to learn, I've been mixing for around a year - but been into trance since around 2000.

I do like to have a mixture of new & old tracks in my mixes, I'm just that type of person that likes to hear a few classics when listening to trance mixes. I've got plenty of ideas for mixes in the near future so chances are by the new year another mix may be out.

I don't believe I've heard any of your mixes, if you have any links I'd gladly check them out. Once again thank you for the review.
