just curious on how long you guys hold your mixes for??i know every song is different, but generaly speaking, on average, about how many minutes/seconds do you hold your mix for.... : )

Two minutes, average. However I'm getting into looping and layering the incoming track, so a bunch of my recent mixes have been four minutes.

2-3.5 minutes i'd say for the most part

Depends, yeah.

1 min minimum and maybe 3-4 minutes tops.

I usually go 1 min really.

Depends, with cds and or computer i like to loop and gradualy mix for up to 5 minutes. With vinyl it depends on the into of the song..

as you say, depends on the tracks.

i usually have a lot of differrent legnth mixes, anywhere from straight cuts to about 3-4 mins (mashups, etc). on average about 1.5 mins!

Usually around 1-1.5 minutes for me. The great thing is, when you know the tracks you are mixing really well, you can nail the mix perfectly to the second. In that case, it could be as little as 45 seconds to 3 minutes. Each track varies.

It really depends on the track. A lot of my tracks are in the 5-6 minute range for total length, so I have to mix those quicker and sometimes I'll even have to mix through a breakdown(don't try this live unless you know you'll nail it). Or I could have longer tracks like 10minutes in length where I can and do pull longer mixes. Or sometimes I'll want to stuff about 20 or so songs into an hour which dictates shorter quicker mixes.

Latest Mix

i have no idea...as long as the tracks let me....breakdowns, off-key, etc.

usually about 1.5 mins, I usually don't think about mixing in a new track (unless the songs woork this way) until there is about 2 mins left in the track. even then, a lot of my tracks have fast intros, so ya gotta be teh quick.


so between 1 and 2 mins.

As long as it needs to, so it usually ranges from 1-5 minutes maybe even longer, but knowing that non of you have probably heard me play I don't expect ya'll to believe me.

5 min??? you must play techno??i don't see how you could do that while playing trance, if not you must mix through breaks, and breakdowns....5 min is almost an entire record
