Hey Mantis!

Thank you for your nice mix, I really enjoyed it!
I think that track nr. 1 could almost be called 'la guitarra', haha

You played the 'Re-Ward' remix of 'different day different light', have you heard the 'progression impression mix'? That one is great too!

The end of the set is really 'party' nice s

Which equipment did you use to make it? I think it's a 'hardware'-set and regarding that the transitions are very good!

One small thing I noticed (in the begin and the end when the music is less dominant) is that there's a a little tone under the set... When the music is loud, the tone is not anymore noticable. Maybe you can filter it out or check the connectors for a next set.:grinning:

Thanks again and best regards!
Marco

Hi marco, thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!

Yeah I absolutely love the track Les Djinns, I heard it first on Matt Darey's nocturnal show last year and then again on his end of year mix, I was so glad that he played it again so I could finally get the track name!

I've not heard the impression mix of different day different light, I will have a look for it as I love the ReWard mix. I love that kind of sound.

I noticed the hiss as well on a previous mix I'd recorded. I have narrowed it down to the cheap sound card that I bought (as my on board one died) having little to no protection from interferance from the power supply. I will need to buy a better sound card basically lol.

The equipment I have is:

Mixing:

Numark TT200 turntables
Pioneer CDJ-400s
Pioneer DJM-400 mixer
Sennheiser HD25-SP headphones

Monitoring:

Kenwood KA660-D amp
2x 50W Aiwa speakers
2x 75W Mission speakers


The set was done using all CDs, I just can't afford to buy vinyl these days. Tragically one of the 75W mission speakers got broken by someone when I playing at my mate's birthday party last week. In fact, it happened after all my stuff was packed up, there's now a big hole in the middle of it so will need to get new speakers now! argh!

Where are you from marco?
