Also the ease of how the 2 tracks blended, again some DJ's can pull off a transistion without u noticeing the change between one track and another at the cross over point, which again some of you also managed and was also scored accordingly. It was the ease of how the 2 tracks went into each other and if they felt right, i hope i make myself understood on that point lol. |
I just noticed something quite strange, and very detrimental to my chances of doing well in one of these comps.
The way a good transition is described above, is different to what a good transistion is to me. And my idea of a good one is based on the mixing styles I have been exposed to over the past 4 years.
It would seem that Dj's in Cape Town mix differently to the rest of the world. Our transitions must kick in nice and hard, but not alienate the ending track. A perfect example of this would be my mix of Barthezz - On the Move (Dumonde) into Dumonde vs Lange - Memory, when the bass of Memory kicks in on the 96th beat, I do a bass crossover on the levels of each track, dropping Barthezz's bass, and upping Memory's. I havent heard what would be considered a great mix to you guys, so I dont know how you guys mix.
My tracklist probably let me down, being full of older tracks, but i'm pretty sure that my beatmatching was VERY good, my mates said it sounded awesome, and it sounded great to me (I HATE beat-mismatching).
Oh well, mebbe I'll do better in the next one, guess I need to by some new tracks :)

I'd like to hear your mix, is it available for download? In my mix, I also did the bass cuts that you talked about, as well as some gradual fading mixes, so I don't think it has anything to do with "mixing style," but maybe the actual application of the style to the mix. Dunno if that makes sense, but yeah, I'd like to hear your mix to get a sense of what ur talking about.. |

Sadly, I lost the mix in the great format of 2 weeks ago :(
If one of the judges still has a copy, I'd really like to download it.
I'd then put it on my webpage for all to have a listen :)

I still have your mix, i will put it onto my FTP server and PM u the login details in a bit so u can DL it.
There are no hard and fast rules about mixing, each DJ mixes differently to another, some may use many types of mixing in one set.
Armin Van Buuren is one of those DJ's that can do the super smooth transistions, where as Ferry Corsten can do that and also really drop in a harder track and make it work.
There is only one answer to mixing, and thats practise, knowledge of the tracks U are playing and what kind of mood u wish to create.
