    Overall it was great considering you only be doing it for a few weeks. Here’s some of my opinions on what was good/could be improved:

    1st mix: happy song to very dark song, too much of a transition for me
    2nd mix: this worked v well, good transition and good progression in song choice
    3rd mix: Good transition, good timing of mix. Good song choice again
    4th mix: Tune brought in too early! This can work but “Lord” is a big tune and I expect would be better if left in for longer (They sound like they might blend well together for longer)
    5th mix: Incoming percussion is too powerful so sticks out a bit, were your levels right? Good progression with song choice
    6th mix: BOOM! Great mix
    7th mix: Cut the vocal which stuck out a bit too much
    8th mix: Again good progression. Beatgrids aren’t perfectly aligned so its good to know how to fix that when it happens
    9th mix: Good mix
    10th mix: Punchy bass on incoming song worked well here. This was a good mix. One small point for improvement is to make the vocal fade out more gradually
    11th mix: Great song choice, very similar elements and key? Mix is also nice
    12th mix: Percussion of incoming track is bold but this works. It was a good decision to leave the piano blending
    13th mix: Good song choice. Incoming track should be gradually faded in IMO, rather than cut
    14th mix: Decent mix, it works
    15th mix: Decent cut, jump in energy that works
    16th mix: Melodies work well here. I think the bass is a bit too punchy on incoming track during the mix
    17th mix: Good song choice again, the bass drops out for a bit which is a killer on energy
    18th mix: Good mix. Incoming song is too strong (Just a little)
    19th mix: I think this mix works really well

    I probs sound a bit harsh here but it’s all to help you improve, I personally love constructive criticism because of this. I enjoyed listening to your mix and am very impressed seen as you aint been spinnin for long so well done.

    WOW! Really, just WOW! I had NEVER hoped for such a thorough and clear feedback. Thank you so much for taking your time to write that up! I’ve been listening to it over and over again like Paul teaches in his courses. Some stuff, like your first comment – I picked up on right away. When I heard the mix the next morning, it just jumped out at me like “What the hell Tord, really?”. But the finer details, I simply just don’t know what to listen for yet.. I just need practice, I guess.

    This is spot on what I was hoping for, and thank you again so much for your kind help and feedback! Back to the decks to practice more 🙂
