He is just learning to mix...mixing comes first before learning to create tension or make a set flow for a beginner. And he probably doesn't have a huge collection either (I didn't when I started). |

I'm on minute 14 and I can already tell you that you need to practise EQ'ing more.
*EDIT* Oh, and phrase matching would help too.... |

| Good first effort. Keep practicing & keep an eye on the levels to keep the volumes close (use gains to adjust), remember phrasing (bring the new tracks in a little earlier before the outgoing track runs out) & keep practicing the eq's. It'll start coming together without even thinking about it in no time :) Listen to as many sets as you can to get ideas to try out yourself :) |

thanks guys i really appreciated your commnents.
my focus right now is on eq'ing using the gains and also timing, sometimes i drop the song too early or too late, but beatmatching is getting much better... |

| Downloading right now. I was in your shoes about 10 months ago and I'm still not good with creating a good flow. My EQ work is rather crappy too. It all takes a long time to master. If you have questions about phrasing, I think I can explain it pretty well, because it was a bit difficult for me to grasp. I didn't have a complete understanding of what it even means. What kind of setup are you using? |

That's a nice setup. Mine is rather crappy, compared to that.
I hope this all makes sense, but here goes nothing. First off, when you are listening to the track, you will notice that at certain points, music "changes" or a new instrument is added. Every time, when a new instrument is added, it's a new phrase.
In practice, try pressing play on the 2nd deck right when the new phrase kicks in on the 1st. There are always cues that will tell you that a new phrase is about to come on (cymbal, build up, etc.). If you did it correctly, then your breakdowns, phrase changes should be lined up.
This is phrase matching in a nut shell or at least my understanding of it. I hope it all makes sense. If anybody would like to correct me or add anything, please do so. I've used the method described above and my sets are phrased correctly. |
