View this Thread in Original format
schafer
Alright guys this is my first ever recorded mix. I've been spinning for about 1 month. Im not trying to really promote myself yet, the point of this thread is to get feedback from the more experienced members on how I can improve.

The first three tracks are trance and the last three are just pop stuff. I just sort of chose which tracks to mix as I went.

Anyways, The mix is 34:08 long. Here's the tracklist:

1. BT - The Technology EP - Force of Gravity - Tiesto Remix
2. Paul Van Dyk Ft. Second Sun - Crush - PVD Remix
3. Lange Ft. Leah - Dont think (FEEL IT) - Shane 54 remix
4. Rokysopp - 49 Percent - Angello & Ingrosso remix
5. NIN - Photek Remixes - The hand that feeds - straight mix
6. Zhark - Zym0siz - Shift

Nice, but try to find some "hard to find" tracks. It's much easier to drag someone attention. It's OK as for the first mix.

^^thanks guys.. anyone else?

you can hear that it is your first mix ;)
it's ok for your first mix but:
1. Improvements
-Work on equing! 2/10
-Phasing needs some training. 4/10 (but not bad for a beginner)
-Your set structure needs a total renewing; 3/10
you have to get harder at the end, and increase the level of energy. like a buildup in your set.
When your changing the style, in your set it was trance to house,
you should do this smooth. go slowly from tranceish to more houseish tracks; don't do this abrutly! (and as i said, try to keep a buildup in your set; it should grow into a higher level of energy!)
-That strange pitching thing at 26:36 sounds like *crap*! You can't do your transitions like that! (was that a transition at all?):conf:
transitions: 2/10
that makes:
2.75/10
just practise, practise, practise!

Peace

oh... I think DJ Subnautic was a little bit too harsh.
It's a decent mix.
