My first mixtape

Hey nice first mix. I’ve been DJing for over a year now and I still use a Mixtrack Quad (with the DDJ SP1). As for the mix, just make sure that the songs flow (learn your music before you mix it). Learns the breaks, build ups, drops of the songs and try to put them together like a puzzle. Pieces best go together when they fit. Most of all just go for it, if you’ve just started DJing you’re bound to hear more advice and criticism but DON’T get discouraged, try to take in the advice if it is helpful and keep pushing on, you’re getting closer and closer to being a better DJ. Cheers!

A refrain you will hear repeated over and over here (and on most other DJ forums) – ultimately, trust your ears. That doesn’t mean they’re always right, but you can train them to be much more reliable. Practice constantly, and you will start to be able to hear what sounds good to you, and that is how you will define your sound.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of every information resource you can, of course, but those resources are not going to be able to tell you what sounds good to you… they’ll just help you to shape your style to fit your taste.

I enjoyed the mix, although I admit I was working at the time so didn’t listen closely to your technique so I can’t comment much on that, sorry.
