I dont really need any advice on how to do a mix, but I've always had such trouble getting a mix down. I'm more of a crowd kinda DJ, some DJ's find it easy to lay down a mix, I need a crowd in front of me to perform at my best. I need that pressure to be able to pull off something special. When Im on my own behind the decks I don't have that vibe I get from having an audience.
Another thing is most DJ's let tunes play on for quite a while on a mix tape, thats not what Im about. Im all about surprises, tunes coming in from nowhere when its least expected, switching up bass lines etc. I find it hard to get into the swing of things when Im on my own trying to lay down a mix.
Another biggy is that Im too critical about the final mix. I've done some perfectly acceptable mix tapes and other people have said they are good, but there's always one tiny thing here and there that Im not happy with so I never let if go further than like a couple of mates having it on their ipod.
Its actually quite frustrating! Anyone else have this problem?
