18 tracks in an hour

[rdale]

I get any where between 12-20 tracks in an hour, depending on mixing style with the average track length 5:30. The times I'm getting more, I'm never letting anything breakdown, playing more double drops, using a track as a loop, but not actually playing the track.
Just hit record and keep track of the time, figure out how much you need to stretch or shrink a section to get all the songs in that you want.

deep house to electro?

Haha, that's what I thought.

Anyways, for me the magic number seems to be 13 tracks per hour. Somehow I always end up with that. I play mostly deep and tech house and some techno, though. Might be quite different with an ADHD genre like electro house.

8 records for the first 30 minutes, 20 for the second 30...

i usually just do about 12 or 15 tracks sounds about how many i do. i can't say a specific number, 18 should be long enough. Some of my tracks are 8 minutes long. 7 minutes long. So those kind of tracks can add up time fast.

I know, right! Having a hard time wrapping my head around this one

I make house and soulful house mixes and my sets include like 9 or 10 and sometimes max 11.I usually make my sets for 1 hour and not more than that maybe one song less 55 mins is ok .But ı believe 18 songs in an hour is too much mixing in ? I believe in the sets rather than live you can choose the sounds and play it on the last 32 or 16 beats.I do it that way especially on soulful house ı go with 32 beats and then the other song starts.

You actually thought that this was a good thread to post.. haha.

Post the track list with the times and we can get a rough estimate... but oh wait, you could do that yourself.

He was just asking for some help. There's absolutely no need to respond in a derogatory manner like that. It's not even like this is a thread you see often here...

10-20 tracks is pretty standard for an hour long mix of the genres you're mixing. Best bet is to start mixing with your 18 tracks in mind and then adjust based on how it's going.
