    play what you think is good and don’t try and impress and be clever as it will end in tears.

    give up trying to be ‘upfront’ there are far to many tunes being released and I cant wade through all releases and hold a full time job.

    i haven’t made the conversion yet but the thought of not having to burn endless cd’s is definitely something that could sway me. maybe?

    Timo, politely decline the request to dj. do you really want to be the face that plays the music?

    No offense mate but parents know nothing about computers, dj tech etc, just lie to them about what it is and how much it cost. i think your major error was telling them in the first place.

    be prepared for how much louder it will be, thats the biggest difference if you’ve been playing ion your bedroom. The tracks that you play will sound very different so be prepared to think on your feet if things dont sound as you thought they would. Also mix with one ear on and one off (for the headphones) trying to master a mix with both on is very hard outside of the bedroom.

    ALWAYS TAKE A TORCH!!!!

    you create impact by using the right records at the right time, most of the tracks in this set are pretty banging, so there will be not recognition of any impact if there is impact all the way through. Its a tough one but the only way you learn to use the right records is to widen the genre you buy and listen to. by doing that you will pick up the way they work. Also the transitions are too short (this may have been on purpose??) to create impact, ride the mix like a surfer does a wave get the energy from both tracks.

    you need to create peaks and troughs through out the mix and playing the records you have in this mix that isn’t going to happen. its one of things that comes with time. I bet in a year you wont be buying the same records as you are now. and you wont be mixing the same way.

    PS. dont get dragged into effects (my pet hate), if your playing good records at the correct time you don’t need effects.

    first off don’t try to imitate other peoples mixes, it can only lead to frustration and believe the people you try to imitate may not be worth imitating in the first place. you don’t need to try an squash the mixes so close. its best to give yourself plenty of time when learning to mix (less pressure on you). Let the main bit of the track finish then start to bring the other in track when its all died down.

    its no sprint , take it easy.
