question for all the other TA DJs:
what tricks or techniques do you use to make your mixes tighter? i don't mean the actual mixing, but the post production. do you normalize/eq/compress it after it's recorded? i'm trying to give my mixes a little more punch and professional sound, so any advice would be appreciated. |

| I record till I get it complete. No post mix mastering for me. All my CDs are direct from the tables. |

i dont beleive in post mix production/mastering.
the only time it should be used is if you are compiling a professional mix cd(for release) |

if u have a good setup (i.e. good carts, wires etc) then there should be no need for post production on a mix..
although if u havent then it might be an idea to play with the eq on it all. |

i used to fiddle with mixes loads when i used my vestax, sounds quality is much better on my DJM-600 tho. Acid is a good program coz u can sharpen as smoothen along with other :)
If i'm doing a mix CD i will always tweak the eq to get that little bit more bass and treble to make it sound more as if it was in a club, compression can also be good if u recorded the mix at a low volume too, just play around, see what u like :) |

compressor!!
use a slight touch of a compressor for ur set, so the mix is in the same level all time, also used in clubs that hires dj's who dont control their gains and eq :) and of course used in tracks production... |

Maxim, here's what I do:
1. Spectralizer - that adds a LOT of punch and color. This is the most important filter. It also compensates for static.
2. StereoExpander (a little)
3. EQ (I emphasize the higher EQ, mid- and high-range) |
