I'll give u feedback dude. I'll be honest.

1st mix into enigma was shaky, but I think u already would know this. The flow was good though.

2nd mix into mono - rise. Heaps better. Love the track, great beatmatching and transition

3rd mix into always - Not my kind of track (bit hard), but mixing was okay. Not the best but u managed to hang onto the mix.

4th mix into circulation. Ah!, sounded pretty bad, but the tracks seem to work with one another, but maybe to many hi-hats in there. I'd say if u worked on the beatmatching overall, this set would be work heaps better. I like this circulation track a lot.

5th mix into pirate, I liked. The flow here is really good, just the right track at the right time I feel. Mixing is again not without its flaws (in respect to beats slipping) but its good enough I think. Love the flow of the mix though!! Go the ferry remix!

6th mix into 'right of way'. It was fine. But when i dj I try not to play like 2 tracks or rmx's from the same producer right bang after each other. Unless the crowd is like mad about that producer or something. Banging track though.

Right of way into faraway project. I like the flow, mixing went of there, but u had it bang on as u started to bring it in

I like the flow into the joop track. Nice one Good changeup

I'm not sure what 2 say about the mix into jon the dentist. Sounds like it works, but you're mixing was way off. And if its a hard mix to do, I def would recommend not doing it. The tracks are probably out of key, so I would say steer clear of such mixes in the future even if it might sound good.

i liked the mix into spiral great track. Will holland track is boring for me so mixing into that is just well boring and same for the push track. So I wouldn't end the cd on this note if it was me.

Okay, best point in the mix for me is the pirate track. Really peaks there (the way u flowed it up til that point), and I love the mono - rise track.

Thx for letting me listen,
Kev. Maybe u should critique one of my mixes

Badass Kev. Thanks for the feedback. I listened to it on the way home and know exactly what you're talking about. I'm starting to understand the whole key aspect of mixing. It really separates the good mixes from the bad.

I think I tried to do too many "trance types" in one set (driving to "party" to hard to epic to uplifting). It was my first mix from back in March and I feel I've learned a lot since then when it comes to beatmatching and key compliments.

Going into Global Phases was probably the most painful to hear because it drifted pretty bad. I was scared of that track when I first got it and I think I've conquered it now. I'm gonna play it at Mad Hatters after Echoes by Marco V. The tracks sync up really well.

I appreciate the HONEST feedback. It inspires me to practice even more and get those beats matched DAMMIT! : ) Thank you for taking the time bro. I will definitely search for a mix of yours and critique it as best I can.

No worries m8. I actually did a mix to give u an idea about this flow thing (but i've got no where to upload it right now). Its what makes a mix good IMO. I find that even if i hate a particular track, if it works well in the mix and flows etc, i actually end up really liking it, just because of how its placed and how its mixed in, etc.

U should check out harmonic mixing, it'll help you out heaps, but yeah I'd get your beatmatching down first

Thanks for the feedback. You have no idead how much it helps me out. I made that mix back in March and when I listen to it now, I wonder hoe I was able to think it was good enough to post LOL. I made Massive about 3 months after and you can really see an improvement in timing, eq-ing, and beatmatching. Hopefully there will be a lot of improvement from Massive to the next one. Once again, I thank you for listening to my mix.
