For a little change of pace, thought I'd post it up and get any feedback, in the hopes to get me to put a full lenght mix together.

clickey --> Putfile <---clickey

Mostly hip-hop type stuff, little funk thrown in.
Nothing meant to blow you away, just some of my favorites put together.
It was for a class project which is why its so short.

Any comments welcome

rock on.

Thanks for the comments folks

Thanks man. I agree 100%
I'm a much bigger fan of older school HH than whatever they call it now.
I just stopped listening to be honest.
A good beat comes out every now and then but mostly they're all cookie cutter, made to sell record type singles. The classics are classics and sampled so much for a reason.

Oh and I'm workin on moddin the riede, believe me, its an every day thing.
I spent 1.5 hours last night porting my FAST.


Thanks yo, Good catch. You must be one of the late night LS1tech crew

Thanks, people seem to like the Wutang part. Sweet, It wasn't my favorite but im glad you guys liked it.

Thanks!, yeah man I've been messing with scratching for about 6 years or so. Just a bedroom DJ for the most part, this is actually the first thing I've ever had anyone hear that i put together. Just kindof a personal accomplishment. I've spent alot of time on technique, but never really put a file out for people to listen to. Considering how much i liked doing this collection, I might be motivated to do more.. who knows.
I'd like to work most of these songs into a fuller length mix with more embelleshments along the lines of scratching as that's what Im most familiar with. Who knows, now i have the groundwork I might persue it.

I used Several things to put that together.
2 1200's, obviously need TT's to mix.
Sound Forge 6.0 - I had to use this to chop parts out of some of the songs and loop them to make instrumentals, for songs that only had 1 bar or so of good beat without vocals etc...
Also used this to record the audio back from the Mixer to the computer.
Stanton Final Scratch - Used to mix all the loops I created in Sound Forge.
Audacity - I had to use this as for whatever reason I get alot of noise when going through the Final Scratch 'scratch amp' and using actual vinyl and not the FS records. Couldn't figure this one out and I troubleshot the crap out of it but in the end, i had to mix the last two transitions with Audacity because there was just too much noticeable noise with that thing.

If your interested, I worked out each transition seperately in many different recorded takes, and then glued them all back together in Sound Forge to make one piece.
I tried doing a live full mix in one take but with all the stuff I had to do, change levels, pitch fadein fadout.. it was getting way too long, and the class project asked for a shorter file.

And this was really my first foray into recording my mixing.
So yeah, glad you liked it and thanx for the comments.
