Mitch Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hey man, a few pointers:Probably wouldn't play all those tracks so close together in a small mix. The energy of them all is a fair bit different, so the mix goes from deep house to what is practically electro house by the end (all in only 8 minutes for this mix).I'd work on building a longer mix (around an hour is pretty good). Work on building the energy and creating a flow over the whole hour. Find a bunch of tunes that you like with a similar energy, and go from there. Also kind of building on top of the last point - you don't have to mix a new track in every 2 minutes, and with deeper songs it's easier to do much more gradual and longer transitions. Listen to some other deep house mixes, and you'll hear what i mean. Then practice, practice, practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely understand your points onbuildup and gradual tension etc, but as you can probally seeim a bit (alot) of a rookie with mixing especially in the deep housedepartment. anyway thanks again so much for the positive pointersreally helps me out!Daytes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
