thankyou so much!

Hey man thanks so so much for the feedback! Thing is my deep house collection is really limited at the moment and I thought i'd just go and use 5 of my favourite (out of like 20) and see what happens. I completely understand your points on buildup and gradual tension etc, but as you can probally see im a bit (alot) of a rookie with mixing especially in the deep house department. anyway thanks again so much for the positive pointers really helps me out!

Hey guys, got a brand new minimix for you all, first time mixing deep house so go easy on me Ive received suggestions of making these mixes longer and I will surely work on that in the future, i just had the idea to pump out 3 very short mixes for people to check out my amateur skills and get some feedback. Anyway, please go and check out my deep house mix on soundcloud and share it if you like, every little bit helps https://soundcloud.com/daytes/daytes-deep-house-minimix-vol-3

Hey Mitch sorry to bother you again but I've had a change of heart and decided to change my name to 'Daytes' I know i know i know im sorry but i am definitely sure of this sorry for changing my mind but I would love if you could change my forum username from: ThreeSixtyFive to 'Daytes' Thanks!

Hey guys, which Sub-Genre section would include Melbourne Bounce? I'm a little confused by the genre list and I'd like to post my first Minimix on here, it consists mainly of Melbourne Bounce tracks Melbourne Bounce examples: Will Sparks - Ah Yeah! Chemical Energy - Joel Fletcher Swing - Joel Fletcher ft. Flea Thanks again.

Awesome! Thanks heaps Mitch

Hey guys, is there anyway possible to change my username? Armchairs is my gaming alias and I had nothing else when I created this profile. Since my last name is Callander, people at school call me 365. GET IT? Callander > Calendar > 365?? Anyway, I've decided I want to go as ThreeSixtyFive for all sorts of EDM producing and DJing in the future. So, if there is no built-in feature to change my username, can an Admin change my Username from: Armchairs to "ThreeSixtyFive" Thanks

What do you mean by "live mix"? Most softwares should allow you to record mixing on the go. I hope you're not talking about like, recording the whole mix through a mic. If you're not, then I'm pretty dense for thinking that bahahha. Well yeah, most people do that but Soundcloud only allows users for like 2 hours of uploads which honestly sucks. Also, they're extremely worried about copyright laws so they could remove your mix. I believe mixcloud is the better way to go. I think they're not to worried about copyright laws (the whole website is just DJ mixes) also you can set up like a little list of the tracks you played. Hey man, thanks for the advice, but with the SB's I honestly have no idea how to beatmatch manually. I mean I know sync is 'cheating' but how do you learn to do it yourself in the firstplace? Note: I mainly mix Generic & Big Room House, Melbourne Bounce, and I'm really getting into deep house atm. (Oliver Heldens, Tchami) Thanks again mate I was always pretty good at beatmatching and mixing songs without the use of a the BPM counter on my decks from the very start. I watched a bit of YT tutorials and mostly taught myself how to mix. I know it's a bit tough to learn like this for others. If you're interested , I made a (pretty embarrassing) tutorial on how to beatmatch. I took everything I did when I beatmatch and divided it into steps so it was easy for beginners to understand. It was honestly the most awkward video ever. The reception I got was mostly positive, though. The good comments were from both beginners and people who already know how to mix telling me that it was an awesome way to look at beatmatching. There was like one actual constructive comment and the rest were idiots who are like "HURR DURR, WHO NEEDS 2 LRN HW 2 DJ W/O SYNC BUTTON?!". I could post it later if you're interested. Hey man, thanks for replying. I think I'll try my luck with SoundCloud for the moment. If it does get taken down is there really any harm? Anyway, I watched your tutorial and it was actually very easy to understand, and I think I've done something like it when I was bored once (Sliding the fader to halfway and hitting the cued beat in time with the main song) I'll definitely try manual beatmatching tomorrow after school, should get some sleep now. Thanks guys!

Holy shit when was this?
