Mix 2

1.49 - transition wasn't so smooth. I like how the beat of the second song picks up around 2.56. I could have timed the transition better if was more familiar with the song.

5.43 - thought it was a good transition, but started off quiet with the second song. should have increased the volume at the beginning. I alos think i liked how the two sounded together so i played around with the sound - would have just kept it consistent and either turned off the first song or kept the voume consistent.

7.36 - dont think the songs worked so well together. also at the end  realized i didnt have the volume all the way up so i adjusted it midway through the song and you could tell.

Overall I thought it was a fun mix of songs, I thought it would be harder mixing songs with lyrics but the equalizer helped shifting down the lyrics when transitioning between songs. In general I had a hard time getting the hang of when to start the new song, change the bass and when to shift out the previous song. was a bit of trial and error and still not sure I really get it so looking forward to practicing more.

2.33 first song good transition
5.00 second song, came in quiet. also I think since Im not using edu/trance its hard to know when the beat drop is
8.58 third transition - again thought the transition was decent, but don't feel like I understand when to change the song and the bass, etc. I played around also with fading in and out the high and mids but need to practice more

I tried playing with the hot cues - I think there were some intros that could have been better and also maybe i didnt time it always the best. But felt like I improved through out.

Overall really enjoyed working with the loops, and felt it helped smooth my transitions in general. also tried to make my transitions smoother by playing around with low and mid frequencies 
0.30 - played around with short loop mid song, sounds cool but also could sound like broken record so need to see the timing, what sounds good
1.48 - also did short loop, sounds cool and creates tension before drop
5:04 - new song. good transition. I looped the first song which gave me extended time to work on the transition
7: 23 1/4 loop
7:56 tried using hot cues to change to different part of song, but didn't switch on beat and can hear that it wasn't smooth
11:36 new song, didnt come in on beat, had to adjust manually, but once its adjusted think it sounds good together
18:20 new song
20:24 short loop

loooooooop

Overall I liked the mix and the song selection worked well together, but maybe I chose songs that were too similar in bpm/genre. In addition to the echo and cutmix I played around with some of the other effects in the mix including robot, flanger, roll, reverb.

For the mixes in general I ha d a hard time figuring out when to enter on the first song. If it’s better to enter when there is less bass/lows or not. I think it was easier and sounded smoother when I entered before the drop but maybe if my timing was better also mid drop it could sound good. 

2:13 - mix one. Bad very choppy. Should have started the second song earlier instead of on the drop
4:10 - mix two. Getting better
6:18 - mix three . Ok
