best advice i can give is to RECORD EVERYTHING!!! everytime you fire up the decks, press record. i have alot of transitions that i thought were great when i did em, and listening back to them later, i realaized they werent that hot. the reverse works the same. I might think a transition sounded like shit when i mixed it, but listening to it in the car the next day i realized it wasn't so bad afterall.

everytime i used to try and record a set, i'd get nervous and trainwreck something, and then get all pissed cuz id have to start all over again. so i just started recording everything, and now i'll record my set, listen back to it later, and when i get something i'm happy with, i'll start handing it out.

you want to make sure that any demo CD is an accurate representation of what you can really do behind the decks. if im understanding you right, you are recording each mix individually and then piecing them all together. i wouldnt recomend doing that. what you need to do is spend more time learning your records and figuring out how each track needs to be brought in and taken out.

Cheers Guys !

I think the problem ive developed is that ive been too analystic regarding my transitions! This problem only occurs when trying to create a CD!!! its never a case of my beats collapsing or a bad mix, Im just trying to find the perfect transition. I reckon VERO hit the nail on the head by saying your CD needs to be an accurate representation of what you can do behind the decks ! He also mentions to record everything and as ive just sold my external cd recorder and started using Wavelab it makes far to much sense !! Also i think it's a good idea to get feedback from different people other than myself !

So Bollock's to this bizzare method ! Records getting pressed and im going back to having fun with my sets !!

Thanx alot All !!!!
