Do you guys find it harder to mix when having a mild headache? Like beats take longer and harder to match and the ears don't pick up sounds as much. LOL I dunno cause I don't get it somedays I mix real good and somedays I can't mix for crap.

:(

Hahahaha I dunno man. If It's me or what. Like I was mixing for about 1-2 hours good. Then I went to mix again then headache occured. Then my mate gave me a tracklist that he wanted me to mix etc... I couldn't mix properly. :S

- Also a question to people who makes mixes. Do you do the tracklist 1st then mix? Or do you mix then write up the tracklist?


Peace.

I don't enjoy it as much when I have a headache, so I don't bother - what's the point?

Yep.

As for TL's... I tend to grab a few records I would like to get into the mix and just start throwing them on in what I might think would be a good order. Too lazy to plan it all and practice the mixes etc, I just want to mix. ;)

Yeh for tracklist I tried picking which songs and stuff before the mix and I dunno I don't mix too well when I do it like that. It just gets frustrating. Whereas to when I mix and just pick songs on the go is better, dunno why though. :S
