I carried out lengthy arguement about this after seeing him here in october. If you're really so interested in valid reasons, go do a search in the New York thread about it. This mix cd is just a continuation of his ever growing disregard for good mixing.

Great idea. You've really contributed a great deal to the conversation. I salute you!

I don't need to fabricate anything, his over 20 compilations (all made in live turntables) speak for themselves. Obviously not only classically educated musicians can appreciate his mixing since most people that like Tiesto's mixes, and even Tiesto himself, are not classically trained in any way. I've never said that Tiesto has great beatmatching abilities, I know he doesn't compared to a lot of other djs out there. Tiesto's mixing is brilliant and unique for other reasons, he has a great ear for music and his mixing shows it off. I don't mind a shady transition where the beats aren't perfectly synchronized as long as the tracks are laid out and connected with good taste.
If there are any trainwrecks in these CDs please let us know about them so we can discuss them concretely. There are couple of shady-but not off-transitions but as I said before that's part of the live mixing, no human being is a perfect metronome.
You hate Tiesto yet you keep downloading his music and going to his gigs. Why bother? Do you get off from the thrill of flaming and criticizing his work? |
I always end up arguing with you.  I'm always criticizing his technical mixing skills and you always agree that he's lacking tachnical skill. So you're never really bringing up any good counterarguements to my claim but rather are just mentioning ways in which his mixing makes him unique and what not. I'M ONLY TALKING ABOUT TECHNICAL SKILL!
The reason I keep engaging in these arguements is because I really loved tiesto when I was first getting into trance in the mid and late 90s. He was really great up until early 2001 after which his mixing got really bad. I swore I'd never go to another one of his shows after last october but I've been hearing great things about him from friends who saw him at the WMC and I'm willing to give him another chance.
So, I'm gonna go see him next Friday and I'll see whether he's really improved. Otherwise, I stand by my original opinion.

AMEN im soo tired and sick of all these motherf**ckers bitching about the mixing, programming blah blah....dude i swear if you cant do it yourself , dont say shit PERIOD!!!!!!!!! |
Indy, I was hoping you wouldn't read this  . Anyway, I think everyone has different reasons he or she goes and sees a DJ. Some people go for the track selection, some people for the energy/crowd. I go for the technical skill. That's why I'm making such a big deal about it. There's a lot of djing skill out there and there are plenty of bedroom djs who can pull off better transitions with the tracks tiesto's uses in his cd.
