MadManMike Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Right,Some of you liked the last installment - so here's my latest mix.Go to my website, www.technicalscience.co.uk and go to "Media Downloads" on the left. You can download the mix, follow instructions (It's literally 3 clicks!)Alternatively, just enter the site and stream it via the music player on the side bar.Negative comments regarding the music? Keep it to yourself.Constructive criticism about the mixing? Let me know.Positive feedback on the mix as a whole? Let me know.Want a tune name? Let me know.Ciao for now, Mike.

Barbra Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've got 5 minutes 'till school, just finished my homework, as i was listening to this. Very good, interesting too. Can't really explain myself that well, other mix's that i've listened to are good but they just arn't 'interesting' where as yours is. Anyway its a compliment lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Cheers guys...I have an event on March 10th, which i'll be recording so you can have some live stuff - I do scratching over breaks / electro when I play out which sounds kinda weird because nobody else does...I'll upload the entire event (Me and 2 guest DJ's) - 8 hours of music - on the 11th or asap.

Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Sounds mint, My sisters boyfreind does mixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I like that, got something different, I'm not into that music so much, but i am into listening to people who make there own. I was wondering (without wanting to sound gay) could you mix vocal type songs, and change them around, like tears and rain by Jame Blunt (I THINK). Anyway i was just wondering as i have tried with audacity and came out with something OK but was basically a bit of copy and paste shit.Cheers, Rorz!

MadManMike Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Virtual DJ if you HAVE to use a pc...Buy decks though mate, mixing on computers really isn't the way forward... People will argue and say Ableton on a Mac is the best way to mix, Paul Van Dyk does it blah blah...Can't beat real decks.I use Denon DNS1000's, fairly budget setup but good nonethelessCheers for the comments everyone...Oh and Audacity isn't a mixing program, it's an editing program. I often use it to make the sound less harsh and fade in / out and start / finish. Audacity is good for making set intro's though, like you say putting lyrics over things. you can make nice 3 minute intro's that sound crazy (Like 6 or 7 songs mashed over one beat...)

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah well im not just going to be out buying some decks for something I want to try but thanks for the recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I do experiment a little bit but my work is not good enough to be released... I'm a perfectionist ;/I made a hardstyle version of Kelis - Milkshake - which was quite fun, but again not something i'd want to share.I had loads of producing stuff all going and my last laptops harddrive blew up so I lost it all Never had the heart to start again really, that's why I use decks, you can't lose anything (Unless the CD gets stuck or you break the needle on your turntable...)

Luke Rainbird Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) I've mixed from a laptop a fair bit, mostly at a few beach parties and stuff (car batteries ***!), but also a small festival thing at Westpoint Arena (Exeter) and used VirtualDJ for those, but would like to try it a bit more "hands on" so to speak.I can't afford to get a full setup for vinyl, but was thinking maybe heading down the CD/mp3 routeWhat do you think of this side of things Mike? Would it be worth a play, and if so, what kit would you recommend and where's the best sort of place/s to look for it?Thanks in advance,Luke Edited February 27, 2007 by Monkey Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 If you're after CD players you get what you pay for - ie if you buy cheap you'll get hardly any features and they'll probably break.I started this way, got pissed off very quick.I have Denon 1000's which are nice and reliable, about £700 a pair (Sounds a lot, but Pioneer CDJ1000 MK3's are over £1,500 a pair!)

Brilliant throughout.If you haven't downloaded this, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!Now go make some 'fat' bassy drum and bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
