I will worship whoever I want, youre not me and I'm not you. Some people worship Jesus, others worship money and some people don't worship anything. I'm a Tiesto fan, sue me!

I think you prolly never been to a club or a dance party. You sit on the hub all day downloading, listening to ASOT and you call tracks like Traffic shit coz your a cool mp3 kid!

So what? Some people wanna look upto someone else for insapration. WHo are you to judge them? Trance-God?

No its not. Trance is about hat you make it to be for yourself. Music is what you make it to be and how you understand it, not what someone tells you.

Every person has a different taste and might not like something and enoy something else. Thats why I said that guy was a tool, coz he was selling his opinions to others, saying that they shouldn't even bother watching it.

I got friends @ uni who wouldn't go anywhere near dance music and they fucken love TiC DVD, they won't give it back!

Originally posted by Ste i dunno, apart from cueing, you can stick any tunes together and they will still mix as such, it mgith sound mixing techno with prog trance but you can still mix it as such.

You can also mix by just slamming faders. As long as you play the right tunes you can "get away" with crappy beatmatching just like you can "get away" with a seriously ill-structured set. That does not change the fact that if you are clueless on either end, your set will suck end of. It might not be as in your face as galloping beats etc., but it will still be shit.

but i think the point is, when tiesto wasnt beatmatching, he wasnt doing any of the other things now was he? seeing as cueing is done as soon as it needs to happen and structure, well he decided it before. so the only thing really is beatmatching.

Yea, but my point was that Ishkur makes it seem like all Tiesto did thru his entire set was just chucking a record on the platter, beatmatch it, throw the faders and then repeat ad infinitum. And that isn't the case, despite how sub par his mixing was that evening.

i think he was getting at the mixing 5 tunes then stopping all the time, etc.

Well a look at the tracklist easily refutes that claim

That is a valid point. The set did have some structure. Though in the context of the DVD I don't think it makes much sense, since the set was chopped up and compressed.
