20 Minute Mix -- Approximately 50 Tunes. HELP.

[BFLY]

100% Ableton.

As a starting point id run some tracks through mixed in key

[st3pupdj]

Ableton + Launchpad + Mixed in Key = Madeon Live Mashup

[MrPopinjay]

You're not seriously suggesting he try that, are you?

[st3pupdj]

Haha! No just pointing out the tools i would use.

The Madeon video is just an extreme example.

[O.D.]

I'm not an anti-sync guy or anything but mixing that many tracks in 20 mns isn't gonna sound good or be an impressive mix. The way I see it, it's more of an arrangement if your doing it in Ableton or something similar, and in a sense is more like a 20 mn track. Back in the day when djs did this, the main reason it was impressive was because it was physically hard to manually beatmatch that many tracks in such a short amount of time. Take away the human element and eh…
But then again, that's just my opinion of it.

its not that its impossible on traktor/serato, etc. you can do it and make it sound good depending on the type of music you do and how skilled you are. hot mixing, drops, cuts, blends, etc. are your friends in this situation. 50 in 20 minutes is fairly excessive (most djs probably don't play 50 in an hour) but if its something you want to do, then the best advice I can give you is just get to work and start building your mix
