oh and excuse the awesome ending. i forgot about that. i was trying to hover the cursor above the stop button while i faded the track out with the line faders. but while moving the cursor to the stop record button. i actually hit it.

i wrote this blurb on the night i tried to post the mix the first time about five days ago hey so its been a longtime between dranks but finally got a mixxx together. Just in time for summer too. I tried something different this time round. I know a couple weeks back street mentioned about mixing outro to intro. And I realised ive never actually done this. so I gave it a go and it turned out aiight. two absolute shockers (i had some bad ass phasing going on one; and I did a great example of a mismatched phrase while not knowing when a tracks lyrics are coming back haha). one really good transition. then a handful of average ones (I keep coming on way too strong. when I mix too). I even used my first effect (well its only because I got desperate on a transition ) anyways… the name states the genre. listen on speakers because headphones youll hear the imperfections! tracklist below. Ill put up some times just for critiquing but mix is best enjoyed just in the background as you do something mundane. or maybe crusing to the beach with the top down. plus i dont really deserve any comments since i have been slack commenting. i will rectify by listening to all the comp mixes tonight. http://www.soundcloud.com/eggssell/disco-disco Light Year – The Pop Shot Cassian – I Like What You’re Doing Swick – Grow Up (Cassian Remix) 5AM feat K Flay – Something A La Mode (James Curd Remix) Codes – Dying Bogusdank – I Need You Light Year – Marcelius Craze ft Wreckonise – Dance Alone Chromeo feat Elly Jackson – Hot Mess (Duck Sauce Remix) Craze – Love No More Telephoned – Rockin That Thang Sorry about the snap crackle pop. I really got to adjust my latency

well ill be support came back to me and said try not using a router. while i thought how can that make any difference. i download files bigger and have no probs. or stream larger files. but guess what it worked!!! wu-huuuuuuuuuuuu

The never ending story la la lala la la laaa... So after about four days since i sent support a question, they finally got back to me. Something like: "So it looks like you were able to upload..." - because my last failed attempt was still up there, saying please reupload "You should let us know how you successfully got to upload it" - wtf!!!! "Any feedback is great. Please click here to let us know how good our service has been...." I guess im done with soundcloud. Sucks no DL on mixcloud but better than nothing

how you pick which channel is being "effected" i am not sure. maybe the 3rd dial up from the bottom right?

jonny im just having a guess here based on the pictures at least till someone in the know hops on. if you are not using as a midi controller (which from previous posts i dont think you are), you need to wire the SEND outputs of your mixer into the INPUTS of the KAOS pad and then the OUTPUTS of the KAOS pad into the RETURN TO MAIN input of your mixer

tried while anti-virus off (as suggested on soundcloud forum) nope. tried with firefox as suggested above. nope. well maybe five more tries and then i guess i have no choice but mixcloud.

Yellow

Still dont get why im not getting any copyright warning Off the top of my head i have bang gang, shabang, slow roast, fools gold and one other aussie one.

Hey thanks source. I have direct drive (st 150s) so cant blame the equip for my inadequacies. Yeah i rock the beat before dropping, i think like you said i just got to get that throw technique down. And its not on the pitching bit but more when im ready to do the mix. As i mentioned above i find if i throw late i find it a little easier to catch it up But if i throw too hard and end up in front i really struggle to get it back. And end up touching the platter then pushing on the label and do that a couple of times, then giving up and starting again. So i guess its just practice practice practice Thanks everyone!

I just want my mix up like everyone else. I cerealy dont get it. Up to thirty tries now. Even tried editing it a bit by chopping the silence on front to be shorter. Maybe i will chop into 10 minute segments just to see if its a particular song. Which makes no sense becuase im not getting the copyright warnings.

eeeeeererrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah i think sometimes on counting that last 8 i prob get too anxious and drop one beat too late, or i push too hard and end up one beat too early. I find chasing a beat if i drop too late a little easier to catch up But if im ahead from the drop i really struggle to get it back in time But yeah maybe ill count a few more bars in just to get the rhythm in my veins

Hey thanks guys. Yeah so i think everyone does the same-ish counting in. Which is good to know. Ill keep practicing

Yeah no need to set the cue on vinyl, just find a one beat But yeah my "pushing"the one beat for one bar is kind of like your tapping, i just sometimes get to that last eight count and mess up! Might just need practice. But yeah cheers

Nope. Not getting any emails at all. Just upload completes fails at transcode. And screen says please reupload. Tried i reckon at least 20 times now.

Haha cool

Do you mean in imaschine or in general. Either way the answer is yes. For imaschine you can take everything you created and open it up on maschine on your computer and it will have all the elements you just created in imaschine

True. Yes i use a dvs. Though havent really hot keyed or anything. and trying to avoid for now as i do mix at the holmies on straight up vinyl. But yeah will keep in mind. Mixer doesnt have roll. Speaking of which in this mix, i even used my first effect in a mix! Wuu huu. Haha only because i once got desperate on how to transition so ended up echoing out a track. Used mixers echo though. I dont really understand traktors effects nor have looked into it. Gotta learn to mix first

So what do they say? I still dont get it im not getting any warnings its just not working. Cupes can i maybe send to adjf dropbox to see if it works

yo welcome. if you have any q's re: production post them up in the production section and im sure the boys will be down to help. and post up some of your scratch sets!

okay you know how i have this super awesome mix that i can't get up. well basically i decided to try something different. a couple of weeks ago street mentioned outro to intro mixing. which ive never really done. i remember a couple years back when i started, i asked the question here whether there was a diff mentality between the mixtape/ internet mix (tenminminimix) AND club mixing. and the consensus was not really i.e. people still do about 2 minutes per song then on to the next one. but i decided to give it a go. it meant there was more time to beatmatch, so i think i got that down pack pretty good. but i started to realise i had a different problem. i.e. dropping the one beat properly. for some reason a lot of the times i would miss the mark, then i would have to tweak the spindle or touch the platter to match the tracks up. i even did the change speed to 45 trick for a second to catch the beat. only prob was sometimes i would fark around so much that i had to give up, and then have to spin the record right back and then wait for the next available 32 before dropping the 1. since i dont really plan my mixes it wasnt that big a deal but because i was doing outro/ intro mixes i could sometimes see the end of the song coming! (and if i ever get it up you will see one shocker where i just chucked the track in out of desperation. it ended up phasing and clashing badd!) my method is usually to count the beats and actually hit the beat (pushing the record over the beat) on just the numbered ones below i.e dashes im just counting but not hitting. if that makes sense. 1 - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - 4 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 drop so any tips on cueing? how do you count it down before you drop? i know cdj's is a little diff in method, but interesting to hear other peoples cueing methods. cheers

damn ive senn a lot mixes coming up in the last day or two. so no one else is having issues?? what ze

wuuuhuuuuu big ups fellas. you're going to start having to do film clips soon for tv hits mate
