Umm, his live mixes on magik 6 and magik 7 (and all the other mixes for that matter cuz they are ALL live) are excellent, and when I saw him his mixing was awesome, and on his latest essential mix it is almost seamless. I'm a dj myself, I know what mixing is good and what is bad. IN FACT, if you would like to hear BAD mixing, listen to PvD - Live at Rosenmontags Oaky's mixing on his Ibiza essential mix was also somewhat shitty, tho when I saw him he was ok.
I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, I just hope you have some shit to back up such bold statements. |
Your previous post made a number of great points, and I agree wholeheartedly. He has risen through the ranks to become world-known, and it has taken hard work and effort. I'm not bashing him, I respect what he has done, but I'm just not a fan of his. However, in my experience with both Oakenfold and Tiesto...live performances, mp3 set lisetning etc. Oaky has got him beat hands-down. Oaky is picture perfect, very tight mixing...just because I don't have "dj" in my forum name doesn't mean I don't know my shit, I've been spinning for 3 years now. Also in my experience Tiesto is a very sloppy mixer in live performances. Maybe it was because of those venues, setups, etc, but his mixing was not very tight, many of his mixes were very noticeably off, not train-wrecking mind you, just off.
It doesn't matter, Danny Howells can mix circles around them both anyways. 
Edit: And because his magik cds were mixed "live" doesn't mean that they weren't "engineered" or "remastered" in the studio. You can't trust commercially mixed "live" cds as a testament to a dj's ability. Thank the labels studio staff.
