Aidos Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This is the first mix I've ever made. I was planning on sending it to a dj who wants to see a mix before he lets me play at the nightclub he's a resident of. Only used a numark mixtrack pro and virtual dj (I know this will be criticised) because I havent got traktor running yet and I'm saving up for new decks. It's probably dodgy but I just need feedback no matter how harsh, so I can improve on it.

Cupe Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The first track isn't really electro, but the rest of your selection is pretty energetic.The last track is a little out of place imo.The mash around 6:25 gets a bit busy.If you want to work in a nightclub I think you need to have mixed more than 1 mix ever. You'll also need to be able to use the gear at the club (which won't be a mixtrack pro). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I noticed sometimes it got a little bit overwhelming, might need to plan my mixing points a bit better? Its pretty much like an open decks kind of thing, I've used club standard cdj's before and got a general feel of them, going to have some practice on a mates before I take it to a club.
