    Sometimes the music selection is more

    important than the mixing itself!

    I tried all weekend to remake the mix I posted (much to the chagrin of my son and my wife) and although it became a little better it never seemd to "blend" together seemlessly..I still had fun but it got to be frustrating for me after 5 days at about 3 hours a day...
    Practice, practice, practice bro. Take your time, learn from your mistakes, and have fun doing it. The quicker can learn to you relax, feel the music, and let it come to you. The easier it will be. Keep your head up. As you see you have tons of support here and folks to get ideas and tips to help you through.

    Tell it JMJ cause I know I didn't and I am still a long way form being great at it but I have gotten good at it and there are tracks that used to give me trouble blending in that now are smooth and as I dive deeper into this music I find new tracks that give me trouble and I just keep messing up and mixing messing up and mixing and then one day no more messing up....practice practice practice.....Soulman trust me from a relative newcomer to this don't quit man keep working and having fun listening and learning. While there may be alot of silly shit that goes on here on the P there is also alot of great information, talent and knowledge and I know your smart enough to take what you need and let the rest go..Stay positive Bro..........

    As others have said, just keep practicing, and above all, have fun with it.

    Don't know if you've tried this, but one thing I did early on was spend a lot of time practicing with two copies of the same record. You can learn a lot from beat matching, "echoing" and mixing in and out of the same record/song.
