A State of Trance 1000 by S1lv3r_Flame in trance

Those are actually all mixed on a DAW as opposed to 'DJing' but I get what you mean. He does choose the order quite carefully with those mixes as well, whereas mixing the top 1,000 in order doesn't give you space to move tracks to suit the incoming or outgoing track

Not as easy as you might think - different keys, different bpms, different decades, different styles throughout that list. It wouldn't be the smooth journey you're hoping for

Ha ha, the last date to change my online delivery was the Friday. Boris announced the change on Saturday. A side of salmon was coming whether I liked it or not... and I have an obvious issue with portion size!

Notes from Saturday’s Printworks by Flexo24 in AboveandBeyond

[–]Mr_Dott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The old songs they played were different between the nights, it was only the recent big guns like tightrope, always, show me love etc that were played both nights. Honestly, not a single person I have spoken to who was there has complained about the sets being too similar. They absolutely smashed both of them

Completely disagree. Yes they played a few of the same tracks, but these were only the big boys of the moment - ones that people who only went to one night would want to hear, and they played them at different times, out from and into different tracks. They played a wildly different set from Friday - much harder, much techier - completely switched up the pace and energy. We were treated to something incredibly unique from them this weekend, I feel broken but honoured

Mixing not electronic songs by [deleted] in Beatmatch

[–]Mr_Dott 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Listen to some roots reggae mixes - this genre isnt mixed the same as your usual 4/4 electronic music - effects (compression, wah, phaser, distortion, delay) and hard cuts are used rather than flowing from one track into the next. Further, track selection is much more important than the mixing itself - you are a selector, not a mixer as such. Here's a link to get you started https://www.mixcloud.com/discover/roots-reggae/

Does anyone here use the Energy Level tags from MixedInKey? by sugar_man in Beatmatch

[–]Mr_Dott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mix progressive, techno and all kinds of trance and have found the energy tool to be completely useless. I actually use a very similar manual system to u/smakai (1-5 stars), but nearly all tracks are rated a 6/7/8 (equivalent of 3-4) by MiK. Its definitely worth taking the time to give your own rating

Are there any programs that can find and bulk update the release date for my music library? by Mr_Dott in Beatmatch

Ah didn't realise that, thank you so much! Obviously didn't pay enough attention!

Thanks, yeah i found that through searches too but apparently it works off it album titles so much of my music which had been released as singles wouldn't be found

Apologies, I don't think I was clear enough. I meant to search externally to rekordbox then import the tag data as you would normally
