HOW TO MAKE A GRANDMIX (part 2)?
Introduction
After creating Mixcapade #1 my next challenge was to create a mix with more than 100 tracks in 1 hour. The idea for this new mix was born while I was about half way with Mixcapade #1. This time it should only contain tracks from my most favorite decade of dance music: the 80-ies.
Used Hardware
Hardware
1x PIII class 450MHz PC with 128MB RAM, a 12GB and 30GB harddisks
1x Creamware Pulsar II Plus soundcard
2x Pioneer CDJ-1000 CD players
1x Dateq Apollo mixer
1x Alesis RA-150 amplifier
2x Alesis Monitor One MK2 reference monitors
Used Software
Software Purpose
CoolEdit Pro 1.2a, 2.0 and 2.1 multi-track editing
Prosoniq TimeFactory 1.61 time stretching
Feurio CD ripping and burning
AutoBPM BPM calculation
LAME MP3 decoding and encoding
Mixing
Learned from my previous experiences (and mistakes), this time my initial tracklist contained about 125 tracks, knowing that about 20% of these tracks would not fit. All these tracks were produced in the period from 1980 to 1989, ranging from 87 BPM up to 130 BPM. For most of these tracks I tried to obtain a good quality version from CD and spent a lot of money in buying CDs. Unfortunately, some tracks were impossible to find (well at least for me), and for some that I could find, the quality of the CDs was so poor due to bad processing, that I used high quality MP3 versions instead.
After converting all tracks to 16-bit .WAV format, the Beats per Minute (BPM) were determined using AutoBPM. This nice tool automatically calculates the BPM while playing a track and is accurate up to 1 decimal. The complete tracklist with measured BPMs were collected in an Excel spreadsheet and sorted by BPM. Note that professional mixers also sort by key. At this moment I am learning this technique as it should save me a lot of time, but for this mix I highly relied on my pair of ears.
Another new learned lesson, was the initial setting of the output level. For example, do NOT set the output level as close as possible to 0 dB when you start with the first few tracks in a digital mix, as it may give problems later in the mix with loud passages. My mix starts with an output level of -3 dB and prevents me from normalizing in a later stage.
Also note that the only applied processing was the EQ of CEP on a very few tracks to adjust the high or ultra low frequencies. No other kind of processing (e.g. compressing, limiting, etc.) was used based on advise from Ben Liebrand.
The Final Result
The entire mix took me about 2 years, spending about 2-4 hours a week on it, in total 250 hours. Furthermore, eventhough timestretching may have helped me a lot, I also had to make more than 3000 edits manually to sync each beat. Making an intro and outtro appears to be a skill of its own as it's very hard to come with something that is unique.
But, in the end, it was all worth the troubles, especially when Ben Liebrand decided to give it airplay on radio Veronica on February 20th 2004!
