Topic: Top 40, Pop, House, B-more, Mashups - Practice Mix

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello folks,

This is my first shot at recording a practice set. I'm still fairly new, I did this late one night, and after listening to it once over I realized I literally rushed the first few tracks/mixes (about 10-15 minutes). This is a lot of top 40 mashups, dance, pop, house, b-more tracks. My aim in this session was to get cleaner in mixing and transitions. It's about 60 minutes, should I make my practice sessions shorter?

I have practiced with just VDJ in the past, and have recorded a few sessions with just using the software. This session is using a VMS4 and VDJ Pro Full. I recorded using Audacity, this is the first time I've used Audacity at all. when I saved in Audacity it said it was saved at 128 Kbps, but I'm not sure what the overall output bitrate is. Also there is a slight hum in the recording, I couldnt hear it live, so I dont know if its the connection from my VMS4 to my laptop or what. I'm trying to work on it though.

Any input or tips are appreciated.

Thanks for listening.

i like your mixing style :)

but try and not use that many remixes. I know remixes are way easier to mix, and some are pretty awesome, but most people will reacted better to a certain song if its the original.
 
Thank you for the feedback, I will try that next time too!
 
Just wanted to say Thanks for listening to all of you out there that took the time to listen to it. I'll be taking it down in a few weeks. I have another practice mix I want to post. Unfortunately I had to send my VMS4 in for service, and I wont be with a mixer for a while. I will take this down and put the new one up in place.

I've had 4 downloads so far so thanks again for listening! Any feedback if you checked it out, is always appreciated!

-K
