Oldies

Being a true fan of your work, I would think an oldies mix, running all the way from f.e. *** would be great ! A videomix version would be mega-cool though I'm sure it would involve a colossal amount of work to dig out TV performances and live footage from the early years before musicvideos. I can only imagine the amount of work and preparations needed to do a good videomix and get the sound and mixing right, but I can assure you that I would enjoy every second - MANY times ! And I'm sure that a lot of other fans would as well. Dillen in Denmark

That's right, that would be super huge amount of work. Unfortunately i do not go further than 70s. Old tracks are difficult to mix cause they don't have constant stable beat. But something like 80s to 2000s is NSM Grandmix series. Take a look at those. They are not video but i think worth listening :)

Yes, I have heard a couple of the Grandmix, the ones I have been able to download from different internet sources but the sound quality was very bad due to file compression etc. Hopefully I will, when time and GC points allow, be able to download them directly from your website and listen to them in best quality. The mixing, however, is as always great ! And so is the choice of songs included.

Regarding oldies mix and songs before 1970, you're of course absolutely right in that the BPM varies, sometimes a lot, and so can the sound quality througout just one song. And that makes it very difficult. Many mixers have tried this but so far none has managed to do a proper oldies mix. Something like a "50 years of pop music rewind mix", and I'm sure that if someone will ever be able to do one properly, that would have to be you.

Of course, a 30- or 40-years mix would also be nice, especially for us who remembers that time. :-)

Hello, I really would appreciate some good oldie mixes. But I think this is a real hard work. How would you structure that work? (by year, by decade, by artist, by chart position - there are many approaches thinkable).

I remember years ago when we used 12 inch discs that we would have a midi seqencer to allow us to keep the flowing beat in time so that the beat would keep at an even pace, the seqencer had other options but that would keep the track beats synced for that specific turntable. For more turntables you would need one for each. this would work with cd's and mp3, flak or any other sound coming into it.

One problem is that if the BPM changes during the mesh mixing the two or more the pitch changes of any voice or sound. The seqence I had can correct this without any messing of controls. Some of these seqencers are junk as you probably know already if you have used them but some are great and the Virtual intelegence is great along with sound quality. Only one problem is that they need to be mounted into a rack possible to include a pre amp if the input going to it is a record turntable.

i like all yearmix, i'd love to hear one each year.

Hi, a mix from 80s to 2012 would be nice. Thanks
