you are talking complete . most listeners dont even know what harmonic mixing is. its only the djs and producers and some hardcore music lovers. ive seen djs trainwreck in sets and the clubbers still dance away not even realising what happened. |

Harmonic mixing is just a base point for picking tracks, building sets and getting technical is where the true skill shines.. but you are right that it does take a trained ear to hear a key clash.
And i do stand by my opinion that it seperates the good from the bad, this is what i think feel free to dissagree.
As much as you want to dismiss the idea.. it does subconciously kill the vibe on the dance floor, and up the energy in a set.
Post a playlist? rofl, im not here to compare playlists.. nor do i need to prove anything to any ta's. Ive played at parties and have been offered to play at a very nice club (not main room) by a promoter that watched me mix.. i just do this as a hobby for my own and gf's listening enjoyement. I just couldn't see myself turning into a "dj" promoting himself, id rather just play at parties once in awhile. But when i do see local dj's mixing teribbly, key clashing etc and then i see someone who actually pays attention to the music its a huge difference.
Edit: I never said anywhere that i was good, nor did i say i was better than anyone else. |

Oh no, I'd rather not argue with someone like you, it's a waste of my time. You obviously have your point of view - so I just laugh.

Not so much argue i guess, what im asking you is what are the "other ways of doing things" you speek of? creativity, tune selection, and technical aspects aside... i would really like to hear it.. or you can just continue to post smilies and "loloool"" a lot :) |

What I'm saying is I don't have to always conciously check the key and make sure it's all 100% by the book correct to pull off a good mix. I think my listeners would agree. |

| Mixing harmonicly is kinda' boring if you do it the whole set in my opinion. I need key changes if I'm listening to even a 30 minute set. |
