Before you wonder..I split your posting out of the thread and made it a new one + created a subforum so the [ms] DJ contest mixes get more attention. :wink:

REALLY tight tracklisting, the beat matching, honestly could do with a fair bit of work.

Thanks for the comments. I am glad you and others are liking the tracks.

Beat matching has always been my weakness. Doesn't matter how hard I practice or how many times I try a mix, there are always problems. Sometimes it's the speeds, other times it's the beginning of bars. I just don't 'hear' it like the top jocks do.

Could it be your decks? I know I struggled ot the shithouse till mine got serviced, couldn't land a mix....now it's 1 hell of a lot simpler.....

Re: pdowney Mercury Promote DJ contest mix

Nice Content, enjoyed the mix... but yeah, it kinda gets rough around the 45 minute mark..

[pdowney]

This was a traktor mix. So, any glitches I can blame on native instruments and amd.

Seriously though, even if it was done with vinyl, there would still be problems. I'm not a great mixer.

[ichrang]

traktor mix?? is that like ableton?

[pdowney]

Traktor is a Native Instruments product. It's like having two cd decks and a mixer in a single program. It has looping, cueing and beat matching abilities, but it does not have slicing and dicing abilities like ableton.

Basically, with traktor you're dealing with whole songs, whereas ableton you are dealing with parts.
