ok here we go....
first a few words
---------------------------
1. I did decide to make something special for the contest here, something what u cant hear on each corner today, and its also for all the newbies out there to show them how cool trance has been, thats why i made a classic mix
2. my tip is listen to the mix first before ya look at the tracklist, so u will get a special experience + trip into the past
3. i got my own special style so dont expect to hear anything like Armin or PvD here

have fun with it (save target as.... )

1. chicane - saltwater (original)
2. sunday club - healing dream (main mix)

OK...here's my review... .

-Tracklist: 6/10

I dunno..I just didn't like some of the tunes that u used...I mean as a classics set...there could've been way better tracks..WAY better...!!
Some of the tracks sounded the same...there was no variation.. .


-Mixing/technique: 6/10
Most of the mixing was alright..not excellent...but alright..but there was a problem I kinda noticed...u lowered the bass levels too quickly during transitions...and I didn't feel they went out as smooth as they could have. Maybe that's due to the tracklisting

Build-up/Structure: 6/10
The intro with Saltwater...that was good...then the order of tunes and the mixes chosen for each tune just didn't do it for me..like there wasn't a time when I said..man I gotta listen to this set again.
As I said,there could've been other classic tunes in there... .


Originality: 9/10
You win me here on originality...although I didn't like the set..the idea of a classics set and the mixes chosen make it original... .


Average: 6,75
I had better expectations for this set...u gotta practice more... .


Cheers

Edited your average

hmmm

well its not about practicing its just a matter of taste like u said ´that u didnt like some tunes ... and im dj-ing allready since a longer time on radio & clubs so im not a noob
though your the first person out there who doesnt like it (and im not talking about only a few ) which is a bit weird only had good feedback yet but well we all like different things so i can live with it but its hard to make a set for each taste
if i make progressive then the hard guys dont like it if i make classic then the young guys dont... endless story hehe

P.S. about the Bass dont u got an equalizer on your radio???

P.P.S not sure if i can answer on comments if not just delete it

I didn't say that I didn't like the tracks...I said that according to each category of judging..the build up in the set wasn't that good...hence the score for build-up.

I also said that the tunes selected...could have been better tunes that makes the set better as a build-up...as I found myself constantly distracted... .

I'm not gonna comment anymore on the other aspects here...as this is my final verdict...as I heard the set about 4 times... .

Oh...and about the bass...
No comment!!!

If u want to chat or something..add me on msn

Anyways..good luck with the comp...I ain't the only judge

Cheers
DJ Resemo

hehe no worr´ys m8 i like each kind of feedback!!!

but if something is really wrong with the bass tell me because i did convert the set from wave to mp3 and maybe something went wrong
only got the original here in wave and there all is fine

thx

The bass levels are fine...I said u lowered them too quickly during mixes... .

-Tracklist: [5] Only about 5 of these songs are true classics, so you get a 5. The funny thing is I predicted a mix with more than one gouryella track was gonna pop up in the General Chat for the DJ Comp.

-Mixing/Technique: [3] Out Of Sync, Bad Timing. When you should of faded out, you didn't. Seeing as all these songs have been out for a while, you most likly had more than two weeks to make the mix, so I expected flawlessness, but this just wasn't the case. If you're not able to match the beats in 2004 when the tracks came out in 1999, I don't think you ever will. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just telling you the honest truth, you butchered your own mix.

-Build-Up/Structure: [5] If it was mixed well it would of been a 7... but...

-Originality: [4] I can name 50 DJ's who have started their mix with Saltwater and had two Gouryella tracks, you are number 51. And by the way, the 4th track is Tenshi.

-OVERALL [4.2] - Sorry mate I just felt for a Classic Compilation, during a period of time where beats matched alot easier, you should of done a lot better. Sorry to butcher you like this, I just gotta judge fairly.

hehe fun im since 2 years working as a dj and to be honest it´s the first time i got such kind of feedback
but its good to see other feedback so i can see my style doesnt fit the taste of evryone

and now i shut up

Tracklist: 7/10
Got the big name tracks there, but doesnt go anywhere amazing

-Mixing/Technique: 7/10
Seemed fine, didnt hear anything odd, but nothing special either

-Build-Up/Structure: 7/10
well it started an finished the same really

-Originality: 6/10
Well its a load of classics, so nothing we hadnt heard before, no crazy mixing, or anything, so yeah not a great score

-OVERALL 6.75

Yeah its a perfectly listenable set, but didnt really get me going, more a background set

Hehe no ur a good sport mate, i don't mean anything against you i'm just saying with the tracks being old and all you def coulda did better, I'm sure you have the potential Constructive criticism is the best. By the way I like those songs it's just some i wouldn't consider classics.

hehe ya thx m8!
i prefer people who say what they think really better than others who say its good and it isnt!!!
u might saw it in my comments that im very hard in judging and i want that people be same to me!
and it shouldnt be a mix with the best classics of all time just a mix with traxx i just had in my head this day which were a bit older

u know im never making any thought about the set which i will play i just play how the traxx come in my hands usally i try to think 1-2 traxx infront but im far away of wanting to be a dj who allready create´s a tracklist before the evening has started

P.S. if u believe me or not on my cd is written ligaya (Tjis rmx)
maybe i can do a screenshot

Oh i believe you it's just that is weird considering it's Tenshi's melody... wonder what happened there

Tracklist: 6

Got same nice classics over here but that's just all.

Mixing: 4

Heard some real mistakes, especially in the beginning. timing and beatmatching was sometimes far from perefect. Sometimes you mixed too fast, expected a lot more after your criticism on other sets.

Build-up/structure: 6

Build-up and structure was ok but there wasn't much to build-up, most of the tracks are of the same level, the mix was too flat. Supernova should really be at the end IMO.

Originality: 8

Very original to join the contest with a mix of only older tracks, haven't seen another mix like this at the contest.

Average: 6

thx for the honest words

ya i think the mixing is my personal style, and maybe because of this i rate the mixing skills of others worse because they just dont fit my taste of a transition, and i hate a echo over the bass prolly more than u

but your right my first transition was not so good but well i ve made the set in one go just beeing curious what was the best transition for u???

P.S. ill make a new classic mix, and will post it at the DJ Area where i hope u guys will rate it again
or when the radio might be up some day i can show that im better than this with a up to date mix

THX for beeing honest

Ok, Here's DJ Diamond comment for this mix!

Tracklist: 6
Some nice classics, but not very special

Mixing: 5
Weird style of mixing IMO... You have some problems with your timing... beatmatching is ok, but your timing is wrong... also mixing in the middle of a melody is not really nice to hear

Build-Up: 7
You've made a nice build-up by starting with chicane and getting harder with traxx from gouryella and Tiesto

Originality: 7
Original to make a classic mix, but that's all I can say about this mix, there was nothing really original on this mix except the classic traxx

Overal score: 6.25
You really have to work on your timing skills, cause that's really not good, the rest of the mix was ok!

M2W Feedback

Tracklist = 7 Good tacks but for classics very suprised

Mixing = 5 Some rushed mixes, some bad synch and need more EQ (quite shocked after you coments to everyone else)

Build up/ Flow = 5 - realy let it down IMO

Originality = 8 Given nearly eveyone this score so far!

Score = 6.25 Know you can do better than this next time dude!
