That depends entirely on the form of music you're playing, IMO. Long subtle mixes aren't always the way to go, but if you're playing say prog the music is designed for pretty long mixes as 90% of the time there will be a 1-3 minute intro/outro with nothing more than drums and effects.

^Yeah I guess I agree with that to some extent, but even then its good to hear the incoming song mixed more aggressively in the heat of the mix (ie in a very basic example, instead of drawing it out bassline>beat>next bassline, going immediately from one bassline to the next and shit similar to that). Some genres like progressive or some deep house and trance definately have more drawn out mixes than others, but I think every set should have variation. Mixes of any genre become boring when they're predictable or really really drawn out. Like some songs like you described I like to cue up to 32 bars(not beats) into the track so it makes the mix less drawn out or just drop it really early and not bring the fader in for a while (which can be a huge bitch since its alot harder to determine when you actually have to cue the track in).

hehe if your mixing isnt straight, programming just doesnt work. hahahha :hehe: the important thing about programming is flow and if you're slippin, you lose the flow of music in your head. its all just practice... the more time you spend on the decks, the better your skills will be on the decks. djs like dieselboy and luke slater are great because you can actually hear their programming skills since their mixing skills are FLAWLESS. they mix flawlessly on loud sound systems and its just a 2 hour ride. mad respects to them :keebler:
