Question About Track Orders!!

[Lilac]

I feel really bad now. =[

I wasn't trying to make you feel bad.

Once upon a time, I bombed in front of a crowd of 5000 ppl because I didn't prepare enough. It was my first major gig.
No matter what I did I just couldn't take people where I wanted them to go because they never got on the ride.

I wouldn't want anyone to f*ck up as bad as I did. So now, I watch the crowd to look for clues.

honestly i don't think there is a right or wrong way to order them for the most part. you can start with mellow, end with mellow, or have a mellow middle. it's mostly how the tracks work together. i think you should just play for a crowd of one and mix it with whatever mood you are in. do whatever feels right to you. i've made sets in a variety of ways, from painstaking, time consuming building and editing to 100% live and on the fly. they all have their merits and downfalls for me and i never worry about how many people will like any given mix. i'm more concerned about whether i like it.

although, i probably alienate a bunch of people since i have sets of all types of genres which can tend to turn people off. i may pull people to individual mixes, but when they listen to my entire body of work they probably won't like most of it. i'm okay with that though, because i'm eclectic music lover and i play what i dig. hopefully a few people will join me on the ride.
