@ reedy

First of all - thanks a lot for tips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif) (Till today with your help i didnt find way how to load tune lol)
Now i have a question:

@to mix it
-if u wanna mix file ,just right click on ur mix, go to edit and copy on file already there,and click again icon file(left) and load another tune, copy and paste insert... and will show two tune,u can load again another tune.(i'm not sure with this words (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) now u can cut file u want after that..

If i load another tune - i get something like this:
(IMG:http://i29.tinypic.com/2hi1n9k.jpg)

How do you move parts to mix them? Coz they are now one after another. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) and i want (for example) to merge them together (end of the first part and begining of the second part).

just cut again on ur left or right mix ( u must cut entire mix) and paste insert to other mix, u can placed that mix where u want to place( i really not sure again with this word,hope u understand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/byebye.gif)

how to upload that image?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

[pantoflica]

Hm.. im not sure i understand that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) .... if i cut that parts - then they would not be mixed together.

You have print screen button on your keyboard. Press print screen button and then open some image editing program (i have photo shop) , open new blank image and press paste - you will have your desktop as image in there.

Maybe I could also try to give some tips and trick, but let's see... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) So many software in use for making mixes... but I'm not using any of those (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) my personal favourite software for mixing (and my choice for it also) is Reaper

It gives me more control over transitions because it has different transition "curves". It also has (like most multitrack software) automated transitioning, just drag two parts into same track and overlap them and you have a transiton (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) but it isn't that simple, with that "technique" you most probably will end up with a crappy transition (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) So yes... I think (and agree with Curt, thumpy and Jasmina) when it comes to mixing, it's very important to have smooth transitions. And sometimes it takes patience to find where the beats match... so it sounds at least decent enough.

So the software I use is:
#Maybe hard to use at first glance for beginners (but it has alot of functions and buttons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) and I like it that way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wow.gif) )
#Not that hard to use when you get used to it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
#It has almost endless possibilities when it comes to effects (phaser, flanger, chorus and so on) since it can use: VST, VSTi and DX plug-ins and internet is filled with free plug-ins
#You can import e.g. MP3, WAV, OGG etc.

Screenshot of my last weeks mix with VST plug-in
