INFO:
MIXCAPADE #3: More Classics
Introduction

This mix took a whole lot longer than expected and at first I decided to make more time available compared to my previous mixes.

However, due to a number of reasons most of that time was spent on other activities, resulting in twice the production time to

deliver this mix.

The main goal of this mix was to use less tracks, because then you could enjoy them longer. On the other hand I wanted to keep the

amount of cross fades high so you could also enjoy my mixing skills as much as possible. The resulting mix therefore has tracks

varying between 30 and 120 secs, and occasionally it has very short (10-20 secs) tracks in between to glue things together. Again

you'll find a lot of tracks from my most favorite decade of dance music: the 80-ies, completed with some tracks from the 70-ies and

90-ies.

Some of my most favorite combinations in this mix:

* Stephanie Mills vs Art of Noise
* Busta Rhymes vs Prince
* Tina Turner vs Five Star
* Dan Hartman vs The Chimes

Plans for Mixcapade #4 are already in the works and there I will try to raise the bar in order to further improve the audio output.

After hearing good feedback from co-mixers about Ableton I am thinking about switching.

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
Adobe Audition 2.0 multi-track editing
Prosoniq TimeFactory 1.61 time stretching
Mixed In Key 3.0 & 4.0 key and bpm detection
Exact Audio Copy (EAC) CD ripping and burning
The Final Result

The entire mix took me about 3,5 years, spending about 1 hour per 2 weeks on it, in total 250 hours. Furthermore, eventhough

timestretching may have helped me a lot, I also had to make more than 2500 edits manually to sync each beat. Again 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.
Again it was all worth the trouble and I think the result is pretty good for somebody like me who is not a pro.

STAY TUNED...
