Shit mix cd's

Was in my boss

Before I mixed I used to listen to a Clubbers Guide to Trance mix loads of times, thinking it was the best thing since sliced bread. Listening back now and the mixing is below poor, really bad & not worthy of releasing. But it shows what market they aim for.. clueless randoms haha!

A couple of the older Nukleuz ones were semi dire too.

anyone who has had one of mine will have done

Ha ha whatever Chris. When are you doing a new one?

Get sent shit cds all the time. You can get away with a couple of dodgy mixes on a cd, if it shows you know what you're doing when it goes out, and you get it back in...not push it the wrong way! The amount of cds we get with the first mix sounding like a 5-legged donkey runnin about is ridiculous. I don't even bother listening to em after that.

The Liberators mix on It's Fuckin' 'Avin' It 1 is one of my all-time faves but when I listened back to it after having DJed for a while I was shocked to find the mixing was actually quite sloppy. Then again, it does say in the liner notes they did it while . Choci's VCF 1 & 2 are pretty bad too.

What!?  I thought avin it was mixed top notch - ok the beatmatching is *slightly* out here & there, but the technical side is pretty sweet...

You're right about the VCF cds though - great tunes, fucking shite mixing.

a lot of the mixed CDs that you buy in stores aren't even mixed by the DJ themselves. they basically work with a record label to suggest and license some tracks and then they go into a studio and the engineer mixes them together...that's why when you see the dj live they usually mix differently than their mix CD. they are useing their name to sell CDs...or using the CD to promote their name or sell magazines, etc...

i used to work at an indie record label that created compilations...i've also worked at major record labels and this is how they do it....they couldn't afford the time to sit their while the DJ has to go through a million mix sessions just to get their CD perfect before pressing...so they get an engineer to do it on computer...
