WAIT....did you use audacity to mix it? Or just to record it? Because...that's not a DJ mix if you used Audacity to mix it.

Yeah, make it like a 192 kbps mp3 file man. Export as an mp3 from Audacity. I think you need to have the LAME plug-in though.

First things first. This was a recording issue I'm assuming, but you are clipping in Audacity. Turn down the gain on your decks or on your mixer.
Seriously, lots of clipping.
Good idea though with the Never Fall Asleep sample in the beginning.
Having the random samples in there ain't bad, but you don't really use them to full effect. If you do something like that, maybe scratch on them or something. Because if you don't, you just put em in Audacity. But, this is your first time with the program...so it's fine.
.......
Yeahhhh......sooo....about that DJ'ing thing.
One, it's important to know what's in your headphones and what's playing. Woah...now it just flipped to one channel...dunno if that was in Audacity or a recording issue.
Second, hardcore songs have a specific structure, now I'm not one for convention, but you pretty much will lose any listeners if you abandon the structure of a song.... So, when you mixed in the second track, it came in at a really weird spot in Make It Bounce...
Now, once you get that right....
I saw what you tried to do with the songs...but they clash not only because the levels are all wrong, but because the songs weren't really in sync at all...that's the first thing you need to practice...beatmatching.
I guess though, make sure you are familiar with the track. And count! That's really important.
Then again, when I first started mixing, my mixes were like this.
If you want more detailed feedback or more help, feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected].
Also, don't get discouraged because I said all this stuff, keep practicing. You'll develop your own feel for it.

ok, thanx for the advice i appreciate u taking the time to write it. So will turning down the gain on my mixer get rid of that weird cracking noise whenever there is a loud beat? also, wat do u mean by lots of 'clipping'? sorry im quite new to all this stuff.
Haha, i am really bad at beatmatching, i do need 2 work on it alot, i just never know when i shud bring the next song in or how long i shud match the beats before i put it thru 1 channel agen

Yeah, clipping is when it makes that weird cracking noise. Turning down the gain on your mixer should get rid of it.
As for beatmatching, it's your choice honestly when you bring in a track and when you cut between tracks. That's what being a DJ is all about. But, you should at least find a point in the track where you decide to play the second one...hardcore songs are built to be mixed.
