It's my first mix, so I'm keen for as much feedback as possible. PM, e-mail, post here, throw a brick through my window with a note attached - whatever.

I'll be releasing once a month hopefully, all being uploaded to my site (www.DJ-spire.com.au) - but I'll likely post them here too smile.gif

I was gonna say it's a bit harder then i expected!! I love it.. only heard the first half so far and really getting into it! thumbsupsmiley.png
Aeonr
needs more cowbell!

j/k

nah very enjoyable mix
only 3 small issues which i heard
*mixing out of the first track was a little muddy
*Sol Ray and Dark by Design - Step into Shadow sounded like it was missing all of its mids or something
*mix beween 9. Yakooza - Cocaine (Scot Project) & 10. Zany - 99.9 could have done with more volume on cocaine as it faded out.

otherwise a great mix great gym music too bad you had to include that damn schranz and boys track, but you already know my oppinion of that one biggrin.gif

keep up the good work, looking faward to hearing more in the future
expect a brick any minute

Not enough loop function! tongue.gif jk

Yeah I agree with Tristan. Mix is really good for a first, but there are a few spots where the levels of the track you're bringing in are a bit low. Don't just match the volume, play around with the mids, highs and lows too in order to make the track blend a bit better. Will have another listen to it to specify exactly which tracks and will tell you when I see you next either tonight on next week. Other thank that Its pretty fkn good man, you've got track selection down pat, and that is perhaps the hardest part, for me anyway.

Loving the feedback, guys biggrin.gif

I've started messing around with the EQ's on a few of those tracks, but to not overcomplicate things (to begin with) I didn't do it with all of them.

Tristan, not sure what this is about:

"*Sol Ray and Dark by Design - Step into Shadow sounded like it was missing all of its mids or something"

All EQ settings were where they should be - I'll have a listen tonight when I get home and see if I can put my finger on it though.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean with the Cocaine/99.9 mix, as I'm mixing through the breakdown, so it's naturally a little quiet. I think I'm misunderstanding what you mean though, so we'll speak words of it soon biggrin.gif

It is, yeah - I just listened to the original track and the track in the mix one after the other, and it sounds the same.

Homs production maybe? hahaha

I have a spare one if you need it, and I also made two letters (the kind of note with the letters cut out from magazines) to wrap around said brick.....let me know if you want it tongue.gif

Very happy that it's a liked mix smile.gif

Many post apologies for the first quarter of the mix having bad sound quality .. I'm pretty sure I've fixed this, so the next one will be much crisper smile.gif
