Hey JoyRyde,

It's hard to criticize because you're obviously learning, and it takes a while to be able to beat match. However i have a few suggestions:

what i would do is listen (in my headphones) for a lot longer
Eg you brought in the tune after "rain" quite early and one thing is that when you're learning to mix it takes ages and ages to get the tunes beatmatched, whereas when you've been dj'ing longer you notice how quicker you can beatmatch, so just keep listening on the headphones until near the endish of the tune. Which is why in say drum n bass excellent djs like andy c or friction can bring in the other tune really quickly yet pitching is perfect because (apart from talent) they've been dj'ing so long they can pitch up a tune in no time.

Also i find a good thing is (if your system has it) listen to both tunes in the headphones - what i do is cue it up beatmatch then put both on in the headphones and if it's out you know to fix it

I have to say, and okay you may like it but that "put your hands up in the air" and those siren sample sounds so so incredibly cheesy to me, but maybe you like it i don't know. They actually annoy me, but hey if you like it don't let me put you off!

Another thing you're mixing in hardstyle, eg bangin globe, then this dreamy kai tracid trance, first thing is that i feel they don't sound good together and secondly due to the beats being quite different they're harder to mix. Beginners should (in my opinion) stick to mixing similar tunes together 1 it's easier to mix and 2 they go better together

Furthermore you start off with banging globe then you fire it in in the middle - there's no rules you have to abide by but i think it's a bad idea to play a tune, then re-play it 15 minutes later

a bad workman blames his tools... haha. No but really i'm sure you said this in the other mix, you know most djs know what it's like to go through months of not being able to beatmatch; it's nothing to be embarrased about.

Also i think you should maybe leave the tunes in a bit longer when you're mixing, okay it might sound sh*t but then when you're listening to it on an mp3 player on the train or wherever the key is for you to say to yourself okay there i should have sped up that tune instead of slowing it down. You'll never learn if you fire the tune in it sounds sh*t then you cut the crossfader over.

Lastly listen to djs like yoji biomehanika and listen carefully to his mixes or any other good dj, like when it slips up a wee bit start trying to work out if he should slow it down/speed it up, don't just make mixes, stick them online ask for opinions. There's not much people can really say except practice practice practice. Years ago i used to listen to my mixes, and worked out where i was going wrong; the key is essentially tuning your ear so the best way to learn is just practice for hours, i don't even think it's a good idea to make mixes at this early stage, just keep practicing, eg cue it in, if it's double beating start the tune from the start again, and try to beatmatch, just KEEP DOING THIS and one day you'll get it...

Ah. thanks. man. NO I understand what you're saying. I put the sets up so I can get a decent feedback and try and work on the things I am not realising that I am messing up. But Yeah, practice makes perfect. Will do more practice and will put up another set in a couple weeks or so...and hopefully it's alot better.
Appreciate it.

No problems!

But just don't expect that in a few weeks you'll be doing flawless sets. It depends some people can take a few weeks to be able to beatmatch others a lot longer. Took me for f**king ever! I've been dj'ing for years now and am still dodgy...

hahaa I am sure I won't be an expert...but hopefully a tad bit better than what I am right now. lol I think i am alot better at composing though. I know fruityloops like the back of my hand. haha But mixin is more fun.

lol if DJin doesnt work out.. i got my engineering degree to fall back on
