Very nice set. I rather liked the arrangement, especially the last track -- there is no better place for it than the end. It also flowed nicely as well.

If you have the ability on your mixer to do so (or something external, for that matter), it might sound better to apply some sort of effect to the very end of the last song in the last 10 or 5 seconds...or perhaps cutting the power on the turntable as the guy is saying his last "put you to sleep". Just something so that it isn't just faded and cut off.

This may be a bit difficult and too elaborate, but if you had some kind of echo effect with a fair amount of delay on that voice right as you cut power to the turntable, that might create something rather interesting. It would probably sound alright without cutting off the turntable. Of course to pull it off with those beats still going in there you'd have to slowly pull the volume down on it before it hits the end (while keeping the effect volume the same while you take down the channel volume, and then taking down the effect volume).. just as it hits the end of the guy saying "sleep".

I dunno...that could sound stupid - manually graphing trigonometric functions at 2:06 AM will do that to you. I just think something should be done with the end. I realize that still having those beats in there as it dies down makes it a bit more difficult, but just play with it and see what you come up with.

Very nice on the whole, though.

i know exactly what u mean..i will try it tomorrow..and post a new mix..
but i had the suggestion to make the deepsky track..the last track..what do u think?

I'd have to hear the last 30 seconds of the Deep Sky track (unmixed) to give my full opinion. Hmm...I should get that off DC.

Basically, I'd say if the beat dies down before the end of the song, try it out and see what happens. But if you do stick it at the end, I would definitely fade it out of that Solid Sleep track. Not only that, I would actually slow down the Solid Sleep track very subtly (perhaps during the break down or just do it gradually throughout) so that the Deep Sky track wont sound so fast at the end of the set, because I think it might sort of kill the mood that those vocals in the Solid Sleep track kind of establish - that the set itself is beginning to wind down. If you do that, make sure you're good with beat matching so you can beatmatch the Deep Sky track within about 30 to 60 seconds or so to have it cued up in time. Based on what I heard it doesnt sound like you have any problems whatsoever with beat matching.

On the other hand, if the beat in the Deep Sky track doesn't die down and leave a melody or something behind for a bit, or if its still too strong at the end, I'd just leave it where it is.. since it didnt sound like you really wanted your last track to necessarily shake the walls.

Thats just my two cents.

well i dont like to leave peopel in the air for the last track..gotta set em down

Yes, exactly

oh..were u able to id the 5th track? it comes in @ 31 minutes

Yeah, I listened to the whole thing....pretty flawless if you ask me....as far as a name, I would go with "Up and Down" b/c the set really took me up and down, as far as emotionally....you have really strong tracks in the beginning, and then the energy is decreased, but not yet lost , as the set reaches the end. Just a suggestion, but i think it fits perfectly

nice tracklisting

what exactly do you mean by releasing.. are you planning to sell it?

as for doing something with the last couple seconds of the last track, use soundforge and play around with some time modulation effects like put a massive reverb on the closing seconds for a mad finish

Maaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!

I didn't listen the mixing but but but...
You have a GREAT really really great track list...I love it...

I think the name should be:

Reaching The Emotion

Greetz
Dj Ahter

when i say release..maybe press 200..try to sell some to make back the money that im loosing by printing them..but its already figured a loss

Im guessing you like paul van dyk. I downloaded the cd. It has a good sequencing of tracks.
The only thing that did not fit in in my opinion was from signum to the following track. the sequencing from signum from to the nex track seems a bit incompatible.... or more the less, it stuck out.
I judged it based on browsing it.. I did not listen to every second and minute, so that is what my opinion is based on.
Overall, I believe you are in the right track.

Best thing to do, if you are making a cd, is to not listen to it for a couple of days. Then come back and listen to it, then you may find out what may be missing,,, thats always worked for me. Sometimes listening to the same material over and over again numbs my senses and leaves me blind.

Below is my truthful opinion. Take it with a grain of salt because I'm not a professional DJ or recording artist. I do DJ part time.

This may just be a style issue but it seems to me you're mixing tracks too slow. I would definitely cut some intro and outro out of tracks with mixes. You could lose your audience if you can't maintain that energy you're trying to build in the middle and end tracks of your set. To me, it seems like you have no control over your tracks, more like the tracks are controlling you.

I also feel your mix is missing a creative spark. Seems like you were focusing too much on getting everything beatmatched. I would have liked to hear some tricks as well. (EQ, pans, dynamics changing). Honestly, I wouldn't spend money on releasing a CD until you feel you have done the absolute best you can do.
