sure. the transitions from around 15-16min, 20-21min stick in my mind specifically. the incoming track comes in not quite fully matching the one playing, most because of leveling (coming in too quick, or too slow, or inconsistently during transitions). you tend to use filtering techniques really often to introduce new grooves by cutting lows or high, then bring in a drop. but before that drop, while the tracks are blending, the flow sometimes loses direction for a moment or two when the blend isn't as tight as it should be.
you should be more willing cut a track right in with minimal eqing or filtering, cuz you way you pick them they tend to line pretty nicely with each other. you can make it seem like a new percussive or rhythmic phrase was introduced and then -- boom! it becomes a new track. most of the time i could pick out your transitions without really listening all that hard because they tend to happen in the same manner each time.
and about mixing with headphones, two things can help you: (1) listening at either a very very low volume or a very high volume will let you hear problems with levels. if it doesn't sound right, or steady, then you know you have some mastering work to do. (2) listen to it on other systems, like your living room hi-fi, your tv, really shitty headphones, a car. these can help you locate problems. sometimes listening to it on a really nice system or a pair only, without comparison to other systems, will really muddy a mix. this advice only helps if you aren't mixing live - if you are, then you have to take some time to learn the way your headphones represent sound so that you can get all the leveling correct the first time around. |
Thanks for indepth feedback. You're right I almost always heavily EQ, I'll try to make some mixes with minimal EQing and see how that goes. I usually don't use a lot of filter but I felt like it was appropiate for such a bassy mix.
Also thanks to Lews for listening
