Tech Sessions prac
Hi,
havent mixed in like 6 month and decided to do it today.. my problem when mixing is that if transitions sound bad then mix is ruined for me..(just loose motivation after that) it has to sound as smooth as possible.. but now I am trying not to take it in to me and just continue mixing and fail to learn 
leave some feedback if you have any

I canât agree more about how hard it feels after several months of not being attached to the decks. Sometimes youâre just not feeling it and other days itâs like you can do no wrong.
Iâve noticed that it takes me about an hour of solid failure in order to get back in the groove (is that a pun?) of mixing music. If youâre risk averse or your own worst critic, try picking tracks in the same bpm with fairly standard beats (so maybe not IDM or that Queen/Hendricks/Tiesto/Skrillex 4-way mashup right off the bat) AND stuff that youâre familiar with. If itâs been a while you need to redevlop the muscle memory that we take for granted when weâre really into the mix. I know this may sound simple but this how everyone everywhere does it (sports, classical music, video games, etc.). It usually takes me about an hour to get the lead out and feel comfortable with my hearing and command of the controllers.
I definitely feel you about losing motivation if it doesnât sound perfect for that first hour, but thereâs not a single person that doesnât need a little warm up after a few months of inactivity, so hopefully that helps when youâre thinking about whether to shut it down or soldier on. Once youâre warmed up, though, donât be afraid to move outside of your comfort zone and try some off the wall music (or pick things at random). You may discover things about rhythms or frequencies in the tracks that you never considered before. For example, did you know that Led Zepplinâs âWhen the levee breaksâ is more or less in 140BPM? You can thank the drunk guy requesting it in the middle of a house party I did a few years ago. Sometimes trying to âmake it workâ leads to some real musical genius.
