--I am listening!

[kewlone]

well you might have better ideas but my secret is :

i always had a theme in my mixes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
no matter what the emotions were attached (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
i planned ahead of time what songs i will use
what genres i will select
i always mixed songs in max 10 min
whether i used 1 song or 10 did not matter
i never tried to correct the mixing after my first attempt unless i hear disturbance
i always believe the first try is the best and most accurate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
i will come up with my best mixes/wins and the audacity pix of them to show how i mixed them for better understanding!

I m using VIRTUAL DJ.. its Best .

[pink_sky]

Hi i don't know how to mix but i am Dj lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

[deanjones147]

cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif)

[kewlone]

Lets begin with one of my winner mixes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) unfortunately my other pc is locked so what i have in this lappy i am posting here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif)

this mix has won gold, 11th most pop in may 2010, over 60K downloads and won me a Cert. DJ badge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)


my inspiration:
Christina
Pantoflica
Thump Rockstar
Danger__shah
Technokid

i have learned a lot from them! checking their originals, use of tracks etc.

my preferences:
great music
great beats
remixes
catchy tunes
trendy
has to be a great DJ remix i don't approve many my all time fav. is (DJ Blaze)

my resources (at the time i started):
torrents

mixing must begin with a
boom
or with announcement/beginning lyrics/opening words etc
a great music track


I'm Not Myself Tonight - RC Week 164


I used 3 stereo tracks
i never use fade in/out instead i use cross fade in/out within the tone only at the end if needed..
always check the different tracks beats/rhythm before mixing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@ para, sorry i forgot to answer:
theme like for eg the song i started :you wana get crazy and after a scream i used a track which says: oh uh .. ending in give me some more.. then a track following saying: i am not myself tonight making it a perfect theme.. at that time i used songs which presented naughtiness, sexy lovers or say crazy love etc... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
i don't know about others, but i prefer mixing like this, mixing music only is easier compared using a track with lyrics, coz one track might have words not going with other track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

also i can't randomly mix songs without creating a scene in my mind or say without a meaning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif) if you have a pre-planned concept/theme then it makes sense else i mean mixing can be nonsense to me! i remember mixing voices only and created a horror/thriller series scene out of it! i mean not a single music track, just sounds so it made sense even though there wasn't music track (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


COMING UP!

One of the best mixes (my personal fav)
