First mix! Looking for constructive criticism/help

Hi all! I have recently purchased and have begun learning how to use my Numark Mixtrack Pro and am eager to get some comments and help from people who know this craft in and out. I am originally a classical/jazz musician (piano/sax) and this new electronic medium is very exciting to me. I’m loving every minute of it! Here is my first mix:

Recorded using Virtual DJ, but I have since switched over to Traktor Pro 2 after seeing how much better of a program it can be! Thoughts/comments appreciated. Thanks!!!

Also post the track list here when putting up a mix.

Didn’t listen all the way through, but the transitions were pretty smooth. Good job on your first mix.

bump! any other comments would be appreciated :slight_smile:. I know some of the transitions were botched (see Stereo Levels into Rattle), but that’s due to me not being familiar with Traktor yet. Any comments on the programming/effect usage would be great! Comments on other blending ideas would be awesome too! Thanks!
