listening now

Had a listen man, and there are a few things you need a little work on. Being your first attempt i think you have done a great job, if you can work on these few things listed below im sure you will see improvements with your next mix.

Beat matching

Phrasing

Levels

In some spots you almost had it beat matched it just need that little bit more fine tuning, and it was good to see you recovered quickly on a few transitions. Your levels were up and down so just keep an eye on that in the future. Last thing I wanted to point out is on a few transitions the mix kinda lost its energy, so try and plan out your mixes and choose your track so you know it will all flow together nicely.

Overall top job man, look forward to some more.

EDIT: Oh and one more thing, less effects next time Focus on the fundamentals rather than effects, they can become distracting to you and the listeners.

Thanks guys awesome feedback

err yea most of what hobberz said

i'd spend a bit of time just toying with the tail end of a track and the intro to the next to get your matching better

when i put a mix together that's basically all i check, cause lets face it, the producers do middle parts AMIRITE

Yeah like every one else said... practice practice practice! Listen to other people mixes and listen to how they do it and the levels of the songs and how the fade them out and so on. But more than anything... Practice over and over again haha! Keep at it mate!
