this is pretty much exactly how i make mixtapes.

edit:
i do all my cut&paste and finesse work in soundforge 6 as oppose to ableton.

-i usually make they playlist
-put them in what should be a good order
-figure out my transition
-use a different song/ transition if need be
-do a 'test run' by either going through the full mix or doing all the transition one after another (by skipping forward in the song)
-record the mix
-convert to mp3 for distribution

Mixmeister might be one of the best tools out there for making mixtapes.

Too bad Numark sucks big ones in the support department.

He cracks me up big time, such an awesomely random sense of humor!

I think his silly sense of humor is a nice little touch to his work, it makes him... him. Anyway this is frigin awesome! It came out at the perfect time! I was planning on making a mixtape soon, and this was perfect!
