How Shiftee makes a mix tape
Pretty good reading over on the dubspot blog.
this is pretty much exactly how i make mixtapes.
edit:
i do all my cut&paste and finesse work in soundforge 6 as oppose to ableton.
-i usually make they playlist
-put them in what should be a good order
-figure out my transition
-use a different song/ transition if need be
-do a ‘test run’ by either going through the full mix or doing all the transition one after another (by skipping forward in the song)
-record the mix
-convert to mp3 for distribution
cheers for posting that link… a very good read 
Mixmeister might be one of the best tools out there for making mixtapes.
Too bad Numark sucks big ones in the support department.
man shiftee is just really effing cool. didn’t think people of such fun caliber existed at harvard.
He cracks me up big time, such an awesomely random sense of humor!
I think his silly sense of humor is a nice little touch to his work, it makes him… him. Anyway this is frigin awesome! It came out at the perfect time! I was planning on making a mixtape soon, and this was perfect!
Yeah, he’s funny. I’m honored that once he re-tweeted and LOLed one of my tweets.
I don’t think anyone else caught the he posted here the other day.
Classy act. Fan for sure.
he responded to one of my comments to the video he put up on youtube for his mixtape that he was advertising in that article
i got really excited hahaha
w-w-w-w-waaaaa?
I did 
Not only is he funny, he’s apparently a good man.
what thread?
He posted ONE post on the thread of the blind Dj looking for advice on Traktor and how things work. He posted something along the lines of:
If you are in NYC myself and Dubspot will be glad to help you out
…class act.
Nobody noticed too
Great read thank you for the find.
He is a class act!
Hedgehog got chance to hang with him at MFC Berlin.
(At some point I got to meet him too… Cannot begin to tell you how awesome he is!)
I got chance to sit and chat with him at BPM whilst he was having his lunch cus he was with the NI dudes.
Hes really nice, he said “Karlos ive seen you in the Traktor forum”… i nearly fell off my chair i was so pleased.
Its always cool to be a fan. When someone as talented as djshiftee says he knows you, its a big deal.
The day you get blasé about something like that is the day you have crawled too far up your own ass .
this has become the Unofficial Shiftee Appreciation Thread 
interesting that he “runs it hard through a limiter” - don’t get me wrong i think compression of a mix makes it sound 10x better, but personally i would never run anything balls-to-the-wall. personal preference surely!
Hes probably reading this thread right now…:eek:
Talk to use Shiftee… say “HI”
