But if you use the original mix of the track, that makes your audience think you're just playing recorded music!

Here is part one (of two) of an epic, four hour & forty minute mix that I did last week for the 3rd Annual Repeal Day Ball, held in DC this past weekend. It is a big mix to chill out to, starts around 120 BPM and ramps up over time. A lot of stuff I usually do not play, most of the mixes are pretty basic and tracks played for a long time.

If you like the remix better than the original track, play the remix If you like the original track better, play the original. What we're getting at is, don't play remixes for the sake of playing remixes.

Aah crap Jon. Are you going to get that fixed or tie for something new? My old Nuo 5 blew up on me 2 years ago (blown capacitor in the power unit) , got it fixed but repair isn't cheap most of the times, it set me back well over a $100. Sold it off as soon as it came back and bought my current Xone:92.

Ok, so it seems that the full video/audio stream is archived on ustream. I'm guessing it will stay up there until the next time they broadcast (Friday) http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11362500 Yes, you can see my dorky shuffle dance that I do when I'm playing. The audio stream is a line-in from the mixer so you won't hear any background noise or anything.

Just another noobie mix if anyone feels like listening/critiquing (I even made it short so it would be more likely to get a listen!) this was my first and done in Live, and I know the track listing will probably get a lot of hate but I just picked some songs I liked so I could practice mixing, so the programming wasn't super well thought out or anything. Enjoy / flame! P.S. If you don't like it please tell me what you don't like! (so I can try creating something more palatable to your ears, your royal loving highness  )EDIT: I moved this to the newbie thread! Klint fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Dec 16, 2010 |

A thousand times this. The very first mix I ever recorded and shared (probably in like 1999?) had a few straight-up trainwrecks on it. Pretty embarassing, looking back on it, but thankfully I only handed it out as CDs (rather than posting it online) so it's not really floating around anymore

I will admit to doing this while practicing in my bedroom as well, but I'm way more animated with an enthusiastic crowd. And it's probably just in my experience, but the House DJs I've spun with were far more likely to do the Jesus pose. The jungle guys (myself included) always fist pump.

I make most of mine in Mixmeister and spin live using a combo of Torq with time-code vinyl and actual vinyl records. I find it useful to use the Ableton/Mixmeister type programs to find good mix points and song combo's. I end up using a LOT of transitions and tricks from my studio mixes when playing live just because they sounded so good. Edit: Studio mix! That's the term I was trying to think of.

Pretty much everything I've posted in this thread is a live recording of me playing at a party or club or whatever (I use Traktor Scratch). The one exception is my White Gold hip-hop mix which I did in Ableton Live as a "studio mix."

I've been mostly recording my live mixes but I wanted to see what options there are for studio mixes, gonna check out MixMeister because I wasn't really feeling Acid Pro, thanks KillerJunglist.
