I'll make something I'm happy with, then put it out and if people like it, cool, if not, that's cool too. So, I would never cut a long mix short or split it into 2 because I thought "lots of people don't have the attention span to listen to all of this" and I don't think you should either.<br /><br />As Ian said above, "do what feels right for the mix". :)Sigmahttps://soundcloud.com/deejaysigmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216426411647598645.post-5197255775190798412013-09-27T13:19:05.926-04:002013-09-27T13:19:05.926-04:00" toiletries said...

You blend pieces from a lot of tracks together to pretty much make a whole new track. The collage style of mixing. I'm pretty sure most of us listen to your mixes after we smoke a blunt and are surfing the internet,, background mood-music..

I think you shouldn't worry to much about strategizing how to "market" the mix though - do what feels right for the mix. I mean, is it something that feels right to split exactly halfway? Or would that ruin the vibe? I think splitting a mix up can be a creative throwback to turning the cassette over, but it just depends on the mix itself.

I won't even listen a mix longer than 1 hour unless it contains a solid selection of tunes. <br /><br />However there's always exception to the rule. It's all about the flow of mix. I rather listen a strong 20 minute mix than hour's mix that wanes at 40 minute and continues on more than it should.<br /><br />I say drop the whole thing.
