i don't think i'd have a problem mixing those tracks u just mentioned... the hardest track i've come across so far is push - strange world... mixing it is really fucked, mixing out of it is ok... but the beginning of the track is just too complex for me... if i don't drop the beat of it right on the beat of the going track, thats it, the mix is ruined, cuz theres a 32 w/out beat with a melody.... ugh, listen to it and u'll know what i mean

I also have a problem with mixing magik journey

I Havent tried with Strange World cuz I dont have that Record, but i will since I ordered last week, so when i recived it, i will try and see.

Yeah i JUST started beatmatching..i got my 1200's about 3 weeks ago. I know what you mean about the Push - Strange world. out of my collection of 25 records or so, I found it to fit ok between Cygnus X- Superstrings and Midway - Monkey forrest. I really didnt do alot of experimentation here...just was messing around and I was able to match the beats. Is there anyway I can learn finer beatmatching, phrase matching, and eq's? I KNOW i just have to count and practice TONS. But Can someone just tell me the basic process so I know what to follow? Thanks

Push - strange world.... That tune is amazing for mixing with.

Some hard ones i think :

Dream Waver - Liquid MM
M.I.K.E - Sunrise In Palamos

Actually those tune arent hard to mix but the both sound over-wealming and dont really blend with any other tunes, he he

Don't count beats. It is just too hard to keep a count while you mix. Learn to listen and feel the phrases. After listening to record about 5 times you should be able to know when the phrase hits without counting.

i have no problem mixing mike - sunrise at all... but strange world, i just can't get... *sigh*

Nice thread!

Even if you are the best "phrase mixer" in the world, there are still tracks that just don't go well together, because the melody kicks in right at the start, or almost at the start of the tracks (no, I am not talking about radio edits). Some M.I.K.E. tracks, like "Someone, Somewhere"), are downright impossible to mix seamless into, if the other track also has a strong melody that doesn't match the M.I.K.E. sound.

Yeah, Most M.I.K.E tracks have the melodys introduced at a very early stage of the song. Moon project is a perfect example

I have no problems at all!
i can mix michael jackson into the beatles easy!

haha just kidding. Dj Mind-x - Voyage (dogma remix) grrr, stupid 1-bar fill-ins. They have too many, and I'm too lazy to work it out. Actually, any songs with those 1-bar fills, but they're usually easy to work around if you know your songs well enough.
