Back in 85\/86, I would make mixes and record them on 90 minute cassettes. I didn’t have a lot of records yet then so my mixes would use the same songs over and over. They were repetitive and sometimes just damn strange – I would throw in some song that just didn’t fit just to try something different. Sometimes it would work, usually it wouldn’t. But that experimentation was cool, even when it didn’t work.<\/p>\n
And that 1985 vibe is what I’m feeling now when I play with Ableton mixes. I’ve been mixing live with Ableton on my Infinity Tunes set for a few weeks now. I’m slowly adding songs to Ableton one at a time but not quite fast enough. So not only are my Ableton mixes sometimes sloppy since I’m still new at it, but they can get repetitive too since I’m using a lot of the same songs week after week.<\/p>\n
But hey, that’s cool. It’s all part of the learning process. And just like now, when I listen to those 1985 mixes and cringe at the bad parts and pat myself on the back for the good parts, I can’t wait for perfection to put stuff out there. So I’ll be trying to remember to upload my Infinity Tunes live mixes, warts and all, so months\/years from now, other people can hear that timeline from just average to (hopefully) something pretty damn cool.<\/p>\n
Here’s a mix from Oct 30, 2010.<\/p>\n
