downloading, slow server though, ill put a review after i listen to it, put a cue sheet so i can comment about the transfers between songs

ooo, well i got 20 minutes of it only for some reason. anyways, the first transfer, the beat matching is fine, however, you are off cue or phase. im not sure if you know about phase matching or how long you have been producing. but generally, you want to try and match the phase which is 32 beats.

try it again like this
listen on your mix, at 701, a new phase begins there. so you want to start the new records first beat right on that beat. then all the crashes and reverse crashes will hit at the same time. of course its different for every song. 729 is where you want the bassline of the new track should come on, it sounded to me like you were 18 beats off or something. however the songs go well together so ill give you credit for that, if it helps you write down how many beats you need to count from teh last breakdown of the song or a certain point you recognize in order to match the song perfect. or just know teh songs better, so you can do it live

second transfer
you cut out the bass too early, or the newer one doesnt have enough, beat matching is a little off too. also, this one is off the phase too, about 4 beats ahead i think.

im redownloading it, so i will finish this review later

thanx for your reply
what you said makes sence, and im gonna give a try
i understand what u saying, when it comes to phasing
im bring in beat 4 or 16 on 1 track and cueing it to beat 1 on the other.

i think that is what u mean. ( should cue beat 1 to beat 1 in phase)

Nice track selection, too bad it's just 96 kbits
I prefer 192.

did you make a new thread for it, or is the new link in this thread now? i still have the other mix, but ill re dl the new one and give some feedback in a little while

starkid -> ridgewalkers at some points, it is kind of off, but that is ok, you got the phase matching down. so that is good, perfect beat matching comes with time, excellent phase match i have to say though

ridgewalkers -> envio might want to kick up the bass on the envio a bit. when you want to really show that you have envio on, lower the bass on ridgewalkers, it sounds smoother. good beatmatching and phase on this one

envio -> ayumi good transfer, however, dont bring in the ayumi so loud at the beginning of it, just ease it in there, good beatmatching on this one too. sounds off by one beat

ayumi -> super 8 the beat matching here is a bit off. kick up the bass a bit more here. phase is off a bit too.

super 8 -> darren tate vs jono grant good beat matching here, but i think you bring in darren tate too loud. sounds a bit off in the phase though. kick up the bass of darren tate as well. maybe the gain too, it sounds way to low.

darren tate vs jono grant -> jono grant vs mike koglin this is a bad transfer. the levels are not matched sort of smoothed it out in teh end of it though. sounds off by a few beats too. remember dont just mix in from anywhere, even count 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 till you start a new phase

jono grant vs mike koglin -> liquid overdose i like how you try to bring in liquid overdose on this one, sounded a bit off in the beginning and more so throughout the transfer, good idea though. sounds like you matched the phases properly on this one

liquid overdose -> marco v starts a bit off beat. in the end, the bass sort of kicks out a little, lower the other tracks bass to prevent that. make sure its loud enough on the incoming track before you do that.

well, it seems like you got the idea with the phase matching for like the first few but you forgot about it for the rest of the song. the mixing was alright, that just improves over time. work on that phase matching though, its important, and the rest will come together

thanx for the reply

i Think iv got the idea, & every thing you say seems to make sence.

i thought this 1 came out alot better than the first.

thanx for the advise.

yea, it was better than the first mix. just keep on practicing. i remember like 3 or 4 years ago when i started mixing, i had that problem too. and i alwasy wondered how the pro djs always had it on phase and shit back before i knew what a phase was. haha. if you need any other tips, you can pm me if you want, i am sure i could answer some of them

I cant download this mix i would like to but bandwidth probs etc...the last question on the site i do get is funny though...ARE YOU THE OWNER OF THIS SITE..YOU HAVE EXCEEDED BANDWIDTH BLAH BLAH..real threatening...so i just legged it...no offence to poster ..but a download would be nice

i should be available now ?
if not, it will be in a few hours,
i think it's up again as it is working for me.

let me know.
