-- how long are ur mixes

Posted by JohnSmith on Oct-23-2002 15:21:

Well, the length of a whole mix, is usually 60 to 80 minutes.

a mix between two tracks lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, depending on what i am trying to do.

it just depends on my mood

if i'm in a crappy mood and playing really hard and fast, mixes are quick... like 30 seconds

good mood, i'm playing normal speeds and mixes can be anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on how the mix is going and what effect i'm trying to achieve

umm....how long i play depends on how long i have to play

meaning...if i have to go to work in 30 minutes im not gonna play for 1 hour

my sets usually last about an hour...however lately ive been doin 30-35 minute ones

my transitions last....umm...depends .... all that matters to me is that the transitions sound good..if it takes 2 minutes or 30 seconds then so be it

i can have to tracks in sync for the whole tracks....but then again..that wouldnt sound good

my mixes tend to keep at around 40 secs to a minute
sometimes longer sometimes shorter

depends on the incoming track and how long it has before it breaks down. Normally around 2 minutes i guess with trance. Techno can keep on going for ever. I really need a third deck.

Transitions form 30sec to 1minute overall mixing time about 80min to fit one fine CD

Hmm... As far as transitions go, I usually mix for 2 phrases ... 64 or 128 beats, depending on the incoming track and the current playing track.

As far as overall lenth, I would say anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours.
After 3 hours, I get numb.... Unless if I have a different type of trance genre to mix with, then i can go longer.
Progressive Trance is easier to go very long with, cause you write a story that keeps going, going and going

length of mix between two tracks = however long i feel it takes
length of whole set:

@ home = until i get bored

I mix for 32-64 barsi think these two sound the best in general, but then again you get some tunes that like to be longer or shorter.

i'm at a point where i creatively edit tracks so the intros and outros are longer. i spin progressive house so with my edited tracks i've been in transitions for up to 5-6 minutes. but to be in a transition for that length of time, the tracks intros and outros have to still be creative and not be boring. i'm in the process of a new promo mix cd so i will post it here when it is done. one transition on my cd will be 192bars @ 130BPM.....(which is equal to almost 6 minutes) but only on one transition.....and these tracks fit together like a gem. anyways.....just my input to ur question.
