| Last time I saw Tiesto was May 2003, and people were ripping his mixing back then. But I didn't notice any horrible trainwrecks in the 3 or 4 hours he was on the decks. |

The fact that you ask that question makes it impossible for me to explain it to you. |

I just wanted to remind everyone, that Magik V, Magik 6, and Magik 7, were all recorded in front of a live audience.
In essence, Tiesto mixed well enough, to put his work straight onto CD. THat's not easy... When your gonna record a set, to slap onto a CD, u really have to prepared, and aware that you can't up...
I just thought I'd mention that. Love to know your opinions, because I didn't find much bad mixing in any of thos CDs. |
I bash him because his sets are boring, I rarely look at whether or not a DJ makes a perfect transition as long as he doesn't scratch too much or overuse any effects.
Wonder why the CDs are perfect? The tracklist is picked out beforehand which means he doesn't have to fill requests or think of any tracks on the fly. He can just sit in his studio and practice the transitions a million times.
It's also worked on in a studio meaning if he makes a small mistake they can fix it afterward. How do you know he didn't record 5 sets and then just pick the one with the least screwups? Check out other concert s, they're all planned to a T beforehand. Just because he has good live-recorded CDs doesn't mean that he's any more talented based on the lack of trainwrecks. |

just because you're number one doesn't give you the excuse to not challange yourself and take things to the next level
sure he doesn't do 5 min transitions or play 4 different tracks at once, but why not? he's number one, i'd expect the number one dj in the world to be able to wow me when he plays, show me something new that i don't know yet, push the limits... he has one job, you'd think he'd try to be as best as he can at it
he's just sitting there riding on his success not doing anything more
and about him playing too much and recording a lot
i play over 230 shows annually right now and i still push the envelope and try new things, i don't just show up and half ass my way through a gig, people pay hard earned money to hear me play and i never let them down, fans come first
tiesto needs to pull his head out of his ass and stick in back in his record bag |
If you were about 40 Years Old, and only just recently married, and looking forward to settling down,
what would you be doing????

Yeah, Tiesto's definitely ready to settle down... :rolleyes:
Someone's gotta come up with that Chicago review thread, or at least the pic that Andy came up with...
Tiesto loves three things:
1. Booze
2. Women
3. Money
Notice how music is not on that list... anyone who disagrees is welcome to get into my time machine and check out the Vision show...:rolleyes: |

I just listened to it to see if I could spot it. I can't say I hear anything really "off". The lead in "Twelve" has a heavy echo on its percusion. I think that's where people get this idea that the mix isn't spot on. |
To be honest, I really like it when DJs play around with the bass... and when the bassline switches. For some reason, I especially like it in a lot of the Tiesto stuff I hear, when the bass goes from a rumbling, low lazy, type of bass, to something that's a bit jumpier, but a bit distorted. It happens a lot in his switches.
A perfect example of this is in ISOS 4, 24minutes and abotu 10seconds of the way in. I don't knwo why I really do, but I think it's good becasue it takes it away from the constant droning uncahnging doof doof doof doof doof, that's the hallmark of trance. I think it's something producers and DJs alike need to explore a bit more....
It's somethign I'm trying to perfect when I'm mucking around as well, I like playing aroudn with bass, and switching it around a bit between tracks, I usually do it when the bass in the playing track dies down, and when it's about to pop back up again, I change it to the qued track's bass. and so on.... |

he didnt do anything special for me, but thats cause of his selection of tracks...didnt really enjoy how much proggy stuff he played. |
+1 ... never heard him live, but thats my biggest annoyance/irritation about tiestop in the last 2 to 3 yrs. he needs to bang the crowd again with track selections like push - universla anhtem, in stead of some prog track by ahmet ertenu or whatever those prog producers might have for strange names :S |

Maybe Tijs doesn't want to be #1 again. Most of the hardcore Tiësto fans (along with myself) sure don't want him to be right now |
:stongue:
That's the biggest load of crap I've read in a long time. You can't be serious.
Oh and I photochopped that pic above :p |
