HELP!! Really stumped on how to mix theese two songs!

[sss18734]

Thanks for all your answers guys!



I've only been mixing for about a year and a half so i don't have so much experience with more advanced techniques, not to count the fact that i never had any proper "dj schooling".
Since this mix needed to sound really professional, i was sort of trying to stick to the basic outro/intro mixing of all of the songs.
Whenever i'm recording a mix that i'm gonna release i tend to not fool around with more advanced stuff for fear of messing up as i'm recording...

I've been gigging for about a year now, but I started playing in clubs here in Rio de Janeiro a couple of months ago, one of the biggest promoters here from rio listened to some of my sets and he really digged my work so he's been getting me gigs in his clubs.
Sometimes I just really worry that my mixing might not be up to club standards though... When I listen to my mixing compared to the guys who play before/after me their mixes just sound so flawless and perfect... I don't know if i'm noticing too much what i'm hearing since i'm the one who's mixing or whatever... Well, anyways, i recorded that entire set and i'm gonna upload it to soundcloud... that ways you guys can give me your opinion on it

You'll always be more critical of your mixes. It's pretty hard to take those two songs are really screw them up, especially with a simple intro/outro transition. Post up that mix and I'll take a listen!

The suggestions I made aren't really "advanced." They were really just suggestions on where to introduce the new song, as intro/outro mixing can get boring.

Hint: On a lot of my songs, I assign cue #8 to the last beat of the song so that I can end it anytime I'd like - it sounds better than just cutting out the track entirely.

Heres the entire mix:

That's a really good idea sss18734! I'm gonna try that on my next mix! thanks for the tip!

when u need a good harmonic mix sometimes u have to manually shift the pitch of the incoming song to mach the key.

[nandosreis]

So are u saying i should mix without master tempo on?

I actually never thought of that, I think Im gonna try that out for myself!

thats quite a good mix, my only criticism would be, i wouldnt have maybe used some of the older tracks, there are a lot of very good commercial tracks out at the minute that could have easily taken their places.

Nice mix.

The last beat cue thing is simply genius!
I also find setting up a delay so when you turn it on it does an automatic delay freeze can be quite a good effect too/
