Draw me a koala - fish - mutant - bird

Hey fellow techtoolers,

This is my image set. It includes all the sounds I like to play. I put the emphasis on the music rather than the mixing. You’ll notice that in the transitions, the EQing and the amount of effects I used.

Would love all of your our opinions! Would you hire me based on this set?

Tracklist:

I listened to your disk while xfs_repairing a gigantic RAID and watching my girlfriend play bookworm chronicles. I listened on my laptop speakers. Here’s my feedback.

  • Did the clerks sample of randall get cut off at the start?

  • “Moreno” by Anette Party is the jam.. you mix into “Music” by Marc Romboy and in addition to it sounding slightly harmonically “off”, I wanted to hear more of “Moreno” and paused your mix at this point to listen to it on Youtube. Choon.

  • Ok, back to “Music”. Meh. I should like Marc Romboy/Blake Baxter more than I do, for some reason.

  • The next mix, the stimming track with the strings, sounds slightly off phase. Also you seem to have gotten noticabley quieter in terms of overall level.

  • The mix around 23 minutes seems a bit off harmonically to me. The bass on the incoming record sounds off.

  • 32 minutes, slightly off phase. Liking the track selection and progression otherwise, bopping right along.

  • 45 minutes, I talk to my gf about our appreciation for your track selection so far. As we both DJ house, this is probably a good sign? :smiley:

  • 49 minutes, I think I hear you change the master tempo?

  • 51 minutes, does a track run out? I would have been fine in terms of overall length if you had ended here. But I don’t tend to like mixes under 30 or over 60 minutes as a matter of personal taste.

  • We go downstairs to cook a snack and eventually turn off your mix around 76 minutes.

Thanks for posting, and keep at it! :smiley:

Hey Awesomer,

Thanks for taking the time to listen and giving such great feedback. Some good pointers in here.

To answer your question: Yes, Randall is cut off. I would have cut off at ‘crazy shit’, but I messed up and was to lazy to re-do the entire mix.
