First mix on Traktor. 45mins : house

First mix on Traktor. 45mins : house
Posted on: 03.12.2010 by Kala Pellar
Since I got Traktor all I have done really is sort tunes out, rate them, grid them, listen to all my old stuff and decide if I want to keep it, sort my set up etc. I haven't really had a chance to have a mix, amazingly. This afternoon I finally got a chance to have one.

Here's the result. I'm not overly pleased with it, the last few tunes don't really sit well with the tone and the EQing isn't as smooth as I usually would like, but as my first attempt I thought I'd let you have a listen.

Feedback always welcome

Oh and I made a few n00b mistakes like not relaising traktor deletes your history if you turn it off, so I had to reconstruct the tracklisting from memory and have probably missed one or two things off it, that kind of thing

I cool, got you, yeah, I understand the idea behind mixed in key and harmonic mixing. I am yet to try it though but it's definitely something I'll be pursuing.

Great!

I knew it kept stuff as I had exported to a website in the past, but everytime I looked in History, it was empty.

Can you eleborate?

I thought mixed in key just analyses them for Key, it doesn't do anything to the actual mp3 afaik.

Traktor saves your history. Check under the exlorer tab in the browser tree.

Thanks for taking time out to have a listen, it is greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'll be picking up my new mixer this week, I can't work with a faderfox properly.

Ok, I'll assume it's awesome then, even though I know different
