You’ve gotten a lot better after the first mix, that’s for sure. Good stuff duder.

    Homegrove Cheers, H - distinct lack of flanger helps too?!

    I would be a bit better too, but for that drifting shit, but I think @Amps is right and moving the decks to +/-6 will help a lot.

      That’s always my setting, unless the track is too fast/ slow. Might also try using loops, helps with tracks like School. I nearly always do them live, I’ve set ready loops in Rekordbox or Traktor maybe once in every 100 tracks.

        Matt do you use loops on incoming tracks, or just the end of outgoing tracks?

        Mostly incoming, which I was surprised to find is the less common-route.

            I loop the outgoing track often, but never think of doing the incoming one, School came in as a bit of a shock though, which is a bit schoolboy - should definitely have set that one up in advance.

              Homegrove that’s interesting, don’t think I’ve ever used a loop on an incoming track. I do on the outgoing one fairly regularly.

                  during the 5 minutes i messed around with digital mixing, i did lots of looping, both incoming and outgoing. i’d loop 2/4 bars of the incoming, start mixing, shift the loop to the next 2/4 bars, repeat, release the loop, maybe loop the outgoing track similarly at times. i found it boring, but effective for the most part, especially with short records that had a groove i liked.

                  My friend spied in Robert Johnson that Dixon had a preset 8 bar loop at the end of his EVERY track. That’s pretty lazy.

                    Matt looping the incoming track gives you precise control over the energy when you drop the old track out.

                      Homegrove that’s why i found it boring. there’s no effort to it. anytime you start to lose a mix, just loop it.

                        These days, i dont have the time to get to know my tunes like I did when i was playing vinyl.

                        Looping comes in handy when you have your phrasing wrong, which in my case is more often than i would like.

                        Regarding Dixon, is the loop at the end of every track jusy a safety net of sorts?

                          Also have to say I enjoyed this. I have no idea what you call this style, Alprazolam House or music I suspect Sasha might play, but I enjoyed it.

                            Probably.

                              zackster That’s the ticket, Zack! According to Beatport, it’s mostly deep house, or <cringe> melodic techno

                                Is Rhouses now in the branding dept of Beatport?
