For a bit of a change, I decided to practice my ‘live’ mixing. I do this by selecting a track, pressing ‘performance play’ in MixMeister and trying to keep the mix ahead of the performance play point. MixMeister ‘performs’ the mix to a separate output, exactly the same way that a DJ can preview a track in their headphones while the live audience is listening to the mix from another track. A minute out from where the performance point is, the time bar turns gradually blacker, so a looming cloud seems to come toward you if you spend too long mixing one point.
However, I’m more familiar with my music these days and remember more tracks – and have more tracks that are good and that I enjoy in my collection. So I’m getting better at keeping ahead of the performance. Watching someone mix in MixMeister is not a very interactive experience – they will almost never be actually working with the place the crowd is listening to. And I have no crowd. So it’s all a bit fake, in various ways.
So: fake, but real.

I welcome any suggestions, criticisms and recommendations for new music to listen to. I will consider doing specific mixes for people, but this is only a hobby. Hope to hear from you.
