It's only 4 and a half minutes long, is this a mix or a track you're working on?

He just mixed in like 3 songs I think?

Just made a short one to get ideas, no point in making a 50 min long mix that isn't very good and will be turned off after like two minutes. :/

How in the world does one mix three songs in 4 minutes?

Here's what you need to do.

Start doing longer mixes
Work on your programming
Focus on phrasing
Try and work on your EQs to make the transition smooth
And lay off the effects until you get the basics down.

What do you mean by programming?
