Alright, yes, I completely agree with everything you said(This was the kind of response I was hoping for). The flow was off; there were several selections upon listening back that make no sense and I was pretty frustrated with that. Really, the only response I can have at this point is I need to A) spend more time with my tracks, and B) spend more time actually mixing and practicing. Although, at this point I don't really know what my end goal with all this stuff is outside of just a vague hobby, but I think you've touched on that in a review of my "work" previously.
Thank you for sticking with it, and I really do appreciate the feedback. I never play for people, so the only time I get any sort of critique is through this type of stuff. WORSTDJEVR. BEDROOM4LIFE. |

| Was this mixed totally on the fly or was there planning involved? |

| Was pretty much all on the fly. I had written down a tracklist for part of this previously when I was also messing around and decided some stuff worked together. I used that as a template, but pretty much cobbled it all together as I went. |

| Hmm, well I guess it depends on what your objectives were for this mix. If you wanted to craft something for home listening, there's nothing wrong with drawing out a plan or even practising the whole thing numerous times. It's very difficult to do spontaneous mixing and still craft a brilliant headphone set, because the idea of spontaneous mixing is you've got a crowd to feed off. |

Yup. In the past I've had issues trying to "craft" sets. Whether it's my awful work ethic or lack of attention span, I can't ever seem to actually get a mix completed when I start trying to plan it. I either get bored or disinterested and move on.
I've got a few ideas for sets that I'd like to try and flesh out, so hopefully I can actually follow through on that in the coming weeks. |

| I don't think it's necessary to carefully craft every part of the mix, because it seems like you're getting there in terms of spontaneous mixing and flow. Come up with a firm mental impression of the structure of the set and a couple of key tracks you want to use in certain places, and then try and improvise off the back of that framework. |

It started off well, and then there was the rough transition into Malfunction (Adjust), and well... I just ing hated that track. I hated it so much I was sorely tempted to just turn the mix off and play something else. |
A Made Up Sound tracks are a bitch to mix (well, at least that one). And since I'm somewhat of a 2562 fanboy I'll have to ask why you hate the track so much :p |

It's just ing obnoxious. I'm not sure how the track is supposed to be pleasing. I really can't figure out what it's trying to do. |

| Haha, yeah, I was about to say something along those lines. Ted Promo did not like it at all either, I believe he said something along the lines of "Wow, track 3 is quite the spook show". |

| It's like 2562 does fidget house, except with trendy techno synth patches. Woony dutifully falls in love. |

Does Adam talk to you the way he writes on here?
I'm torn on the track, personally, if anyone cares. I really like half of it, and then hate half of it as well *shrug* |
