eggssell Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (i didnt know if booty tech was hip hop or more breaky... anyways. And for those that don’t like short transitions or rap just move along, nothing to see here)i did my normal thang of going on the fly, then using the history tab to use the same songs again. on the second time round i couldnt get things to work but thought i had a good set of songs. tried heaps more then walked away as it just not working. i decided to rearrange the songs, that worked better but i still kept stuffing one or two transitions. Thought i had an okay mix so stopped. the next day i figured id do one more rearrangement of songs and tried that and it was better. i tried practicing some transitions and tried to plan where i would drop songs but the prob was while i was in the mix i couldnt always pitch it in time so gave up on the planned drops because it was just too frustrating (the mix is at 130BPM, and only the first song and one other one was at 130, the rest ranged from 128 to 132).i ended up with the mix below which is far from perfect but I was getting mighty tired of trying.seeing as i was trying a lot of new techniques i said what the hell post it up for advice - i was trying to: using the crossfader (which made me f' up the 1st transition as i didnt realise it was closed from the previous try so i missed the first 3 beats, which sucks balls because the 2 songs go so well together), cutting (which ended up sounding horrible ha ha ha), mixing songs which all have vocals, and finally hot dropping live in the mix (I know this is what most people probably do, but in all my other mixes I have been dropping with channel fader down and will let 16 or 32 beats play in the cue just so I can triple check beat matching before bringing the track in, but this time all drops were live).Anywho enuff of the excuses below is the mix and the tracklist, any advice would be awesome especially tip on short mixing and cutting. And be brutal because I know it was far from what I wanted...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggssell Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 hey bro there were only 6 transitions but i think i know what you mean, i.e. you listed songs playing.yeah that last transition when i dropped just the vocal of skank out over the outgoing was half a beat off, i kind of started spinning the label gradually to catch up but then it was time to dump the outgoing. nice pickup.so you thought the cut at 8.31 was okay? i hate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
