i try not to beat match becuase it can be a bitch for me. so i opt to match percussion with percussionless melodies or just match percussionless melodies.


Try this exercise below. I used these following two tracks in a mix of mine. I've posted the last 3 minutes of one track and the first 4 minutes of another. Try to mix the two and then compare it to my mix.

Better yet, upload some samples of your own so that i can give it them a shot.


Track One: Wet Moon (last 3 minutes; 64kbps; 1.37mb):LINK
Track Two: Mammon (first 4 minutes; 64kbps; 1.83nb): LINK

My Mix Version (5 minutes; 64kbps; 2.2mb):LINK

Thanks for the advice, i'll work at it. I will post a sample in the next few days. I will try to mix a prog tune with the tune in my sig by Ljungqvist & Lansberg, it's a nice downtempo tune with a nice piano melody.

I see what you were talking about with the mix, I listened to it. I tried something like that, when I was mixing this really creepy tune from a music project called "Cantoma" with some Ulrich Schnauss, it sounded "haunting". I'm going to keep working at it, so I can prepare for whenever I get a gig to start them off (or end them) in a chilled way. Thats what I really am aiming to do, I guess create a musical journey through sounds, and build it up or bring it down that way. Create "peaks" and "valleys", because most likely my first gigs will be in small bars and clubs and not a big club.
