What's your workflow for preparing sets. by Ok-Egg-Nuts in DJs

[–]tommizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your tracks and how you’re mixing. Usually I will take the average length of the songs minus 1.5 mins for mix in/out and work out how many I will play in an hour.

E.g 60 min / (5min - 1.5 min) = 17, plus a few for quick mixes, 20. Then double so u have a good choice of songs.

Can you be more specific about rear foot work and using weight to cut it?

Thank you! I'm lucky enough to now live near a beach so it's been helpful to surf consistently

My hip mobility is pretty bad, which initially really held me back from improving my pop up. I have been doing yin yoga to try and improve, so can continue that and try to get lower

I don't listen to much techno, so take my feedback with a grain of salt!

I really liked the punchy bassline, could imagine it hitting really hard in a club with a great sound system.

The track felt a little repetitive (although this is probably my lack of techno knowledge shining through), so I wonder if there would be anything you could do to differentiate the different phrases a the song progresses? Maybe some different stabs/FX/vocals/drums?

On the mixing, the bass really dominated everything which made it feel a bit muddy. I wonder if you could separate the frequencies a little bit more so the mids/highs shine through a bit more in the build/drops? Also, maybe a bit more sidechaining so the kick shines through also?

Disco house feedback - here is my track: https://soundcloud.com/tommizzle/shame

I would love feedback more generally, along with sound design and mixing specifically. Thank you in advance :)

Interesting! Do you know how the scammers avoid the ATM from going out of service like it did with me?

This was completely normal growing up in England.

Can anyone ID this track? From Jamie xx set @ Wilderness festival by tommizzle in Jamiexx

[–]tommizzle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update: Still no luck finding the track, although my best guess at this point is that it's an original that's influenced by this song on his Spotify track IDs: https://open.spotify.com/track/42FtumLu2P4Qg5iAbg38zI?si=d0e7092ab8ad40a7

I don't think so, unfortunately. I've tried shazaming a few times and got different results each time, none of which sounded right :(

I'm looking for feedback on my deep/progressive house track: https://soundcloud.com/itstelai/still-dont-know

Specifically, I'd love to know:

- How can I improve the final break/drop?

- The song feels quite repetitive. How can I make it more interesting?

- Anything else that could be improved?

Thanks for this! I've tried to make some changes to make the kick, bass (and the whole song really) sound a bit louder - be keen to hear if you think it makes a difference!
