I will try to listen and hear specific times, especially for comment #5 about the "loop", the next time I listen to your mix. |

Here's my feedback from the second listen. - I like the intro track, really appropriate deep progression. I appreciate the track selection in general. When I play house or listen to it, this is the style I like. So in a way, it's remarkable that I enjoy your taste as much as I do, as usually familiarity "breeds contempt" as they say? - Most of your transitions are quite good, though there are a handful of cases where the levels seemed off or the mix drifted ever so slightly. Not anything most non-DJ listeners would notice at all. I believe sometimes you were not necessarily "ducking" the high end enough and it ended up EVER SO SLIGHTLY BUSY up there when you were mixing two tracks. Harmonically I feel like your progression and blends all made sense. - I feel like your mixing faded a bit into the background for me. I like when I can sometimes hear "hey... the DJ just DID something!" and I believe joe typical listener probably does too. I understand that with deep house the priority is being smooth.. but it is after all a *DJ* mix.. I want to hear a bit more of the DJ here, and not just his musical taste.. - I believe you also have a tendency to be EVER SO SLIGHTLY louder overall when mixing two tracks.. which is pretty common and can be on purpose.. but is slightly noticable. - I might have heard one time where you looped in traktor (?) and it sounded like a loop? - I like the frequency of vocal or recognizable melody elements (like the hall and oats hook, etc.). Deep house can get a bit faceless without these elements as anchors, and I believe you did a good job here. - All that said, the mix was a little long for my personal taste. I feel like if you had wound it down around an hour or so, it would have more overall punch. Thanks for posting, and keep at it! |

| Twyla Tylinski 19.08.2011 | I believe Awesomer put it best with his review, all I will say is nice track selection which to me is the most important part of a set. |
| Dani Gutsche 19.08.2011 | Indeed a great review Awesomer. I'm glad you like it I wouldn't say that this is my style though, I'm still developing in that respect. I do though have grown into deep tunes more and more, though when producing I notice a strong desire to give my own tracks (which are far from complete, so there isn't anything to listen to... yet...) a very strong melody. To make them not just repetitive parts (loops for that matter) of music but whole that is tempting to listen to at any moment of the song. But to come back to the mix, in order for me to get better, I was wondering if it is possible for you to put some of these comments as timed comments in the mix so that I know what you are referring to exactly. In special I'm wondering where you noticed the following: - What you mean with being ''too slight'' (suggestion #2 and #4) - The loop you mean in suggestion #5 |
| Leeanna Ayla 17.08.2011 | Awesomer you really are awesomer. Great review, again!! Maybe one day when I do a half decent set you can do the same for me. |
