The best is to mix Ambient with standard trance .. That stuff is fun...

I've mixed an ambient track with a standard trance track, for about 2 minutes, without any looping. Otherwise, i don't hold mixes for much longer than about 30s - 1 minute. I keep sampling back and forth between tracks but, and try to use brakes etc. when mixing some tracks.


My beatmatching still needs work though, so it'll be a whie before i really start to go over 1 minute.

it all varies. When I'm mixing at home I usually take my time with mixes, let them ride out for 2+ minutes. But playing out is a different story and I usually like to make my mixes shorter and to the point.

16 to 32 measures. its really hard to keep things beatmatched beyond 64 measures with warped records and by that time, i'm already like a quarter way into the record and i do have to look for the next record and cue before the second breakdown...

and you thought you had issues

I know my tracks so when the song thats currently playing only has a couple measures of beats left i usually bring in the cued one and hold it for like 1 - 1 1/2 min

I'd say it also depends on the genre. When I'm mixing trance, my transitions are usually 2-3 min. When it comes to house or breaks they're usually around a 1 to 1.5 mins.

50 secs - 2 minutes tops,depending on the track. I know myself and I know I can't pull off Sasha style 4 minute mixes on vinyl.

you guys mixing for 5 minutes are crazy. i would say 45 seconds to 2.5 minutes max. depends on the song though.

well im a noob and i dont like to hold my mixes for more than a minute just because my beatmatching still needs perfection. still practicing

as long as it has to...

i loop the beginning percussion samples of every incoming song onto the entire outgoing tune. so its basically like 8-10 minute mixing..then i layer other track samples and acapellas over that, effects, screatchy scratching, and im learning to use reaktor to add more sampling and synth production into my mixes.

im getting ahold of beatmatching without headphones now too.

For those who mixes more than 2 mins long, do you use more than 2 TTs?
