Aidos Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 This is the first mix I've ever made. I was planning on sending it to a dj who wants to see a mix before he lets me play at the nightclub he's a resident of. Only used a numark mixtrack pro and virtual dj (I know this will be criticised) because I havent got traktor running yet and I'm saving up for new decks. It's probably dodgy but I just need feedback no matter how harsh, so I can improve on it. Cheers https://soundcloud.com/aidan-mavin/minimix Quote
Cupe Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 The first track isn't really electro, but the rest of your selection is pretty energetic.The last track is a little out of place imo.The mash around 6:25 gets a bit busy.If you want to work in a nightclub I think you need to have mixed more than 1 mix ever. You'll also need to be able to use the gear at the club (which won't be a mixtrack pro). Quote

Cheers https://soundcloud.com/aidan-mavin/minimixNot too bad, you have the right idea and the mixing is clean (no double beats) things i would do a bit differently is tighten up the mix points, dont let the end of the previous track play out to the point where you dont really have a bassline, just claps and snares etc. from the intro and outtro of each song being mixed together is something to avoid if you can. some of the transitions were a little dry aswell, try filtering out the previous song before the break of the next song.. make full use of post fader fx if you can aswell Quote

You'll also need to be able to use the gear at the club (which won't be a mixtrack pro).Yea it wasn't really ment to be kept to one genre I just put a general label on it. Yea I noticed sometimes it got a little bit overwhelming, might need to plan my mixing points a bit better? Its pretty much like an open decks kind of thing, I've used club standard cdj's before and got a general feel of them, going to have some practice on a mates before I take it to a club.
