Questions about Balance 008 and the Balance Series in general
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying Balance 008 but i'm gonna have to have a few questions answered just like with 005. Everybody was raving about 005 and saying how good it was so i went out and bought it. I consider myself extremely lucky that there was only one track that I didnt like.
which leads me to these questions:
1. Do DJs who undertake a Balance mix have complete control of the tracklist or do the tracks have to be a certain type of music?
I just want to make sure I'm not going to be buying something with tracks that contain really awful vocals.
2. What type of music does 008 have?
3. What is the mixing like in 008? People dont seem to be raving about it like with 005.
you don't know shit about it as I can tell, take a look at the tracklist check the tracks or go to an online store and listen to clips of the CDs and decide for yourself don't be a fucking moron.

I think the artists are selected for their taste in music, so no, i dont think that they would be forced to add or remove tracks to fit the bill.
2. What type of music does 008 have?
dunno, havent heard it
3. What is the mixing like in 008? People dont seem to be raving about it like with 005.
same
4. How does it compare to 005?

Re: Questions about Balance 008 and the Balance Series in general
1. Do DJs who undertake a Balance mix have complete control of the tracklist or do the tracks have to be a certain type of music?
Some djs like these "really awful" vocals.. i believe djs have a lot of control on a balance disc, but they still play there style
2. What type of music does 008 have?
House.
3. What is the mixing like in 008? People dont seem to be raving about it like with 005.
Its crap, nice tunes on disc 2, but the technical mixing isnt great on 008 either.
and the final question...
4. How does it compare to 005?
005>008
But i liked 008 still, but its a completely different style of play and music.

It is different to Holdens 005 and is also an awesome mix in my opinion. Didn't hesitate in buying it and don't regret it, it is on constant repeat (especially CD1 ). And for ~$30 AUD it isnt going to break the bank so dont be a tightarse and just buy it...

the mixing is decent... there are some times where the transitions are a bit shady or the flow of the mix changes (ex: disc 2. halcyon -> next track) but things like that dont bother me, as i know it bothers others on here.. so i overall enjoyed it because i was a fan of his style and selection.. in regards to balance 005 i havent heard it.. but it would definitely be given that the mixing from holden on 005 would be much better since holden is much much more technical and precise in regards to mixing compared to desyn.. and as stated previously, totally different genres
