I feel I'm kinda stuck with the quality of my mixes, especially when trying to use more than a couple of sounds at once and getting the beats to kick properly, but I need some better monitors as well.

also, how is your football anthem coming along? Are you on the verge of commercial breaktrough?

Well the remixes are all done by our mates but in terms of what we're doing at the moment a lot of it is down to 'experience', I've been concentrating properly on the music side of things for about ten years now and experience does seem to make my/our stuff sound better.

A lot of dance/electronica can be quite sparse in terms of arrangement and what you tend to find is that the less cluttered the mix is the more the individual elements can stand out Benni Banassi and Satisfaction or Kernkraft/Zombie Nation being the first tune that springs to mind. Alas, I tend to go for the wall of sound/throw everything and the kitch sink in there which makes things a right bugger to mix at times.

As for moniitors, as long as you know what they're putting out your fine, I dont use studio monitors just a decent set of Celestion hi-fii speakers, I've had them 16 years and I know what thngs sound like on them so they do me fine.

Make use your individual elements are properly EQed so that each part is 'shelved' and sits in its own frequency range; i.e. bass part = low freq..if you've got a string/pad part roll off the low end on it so it doesn't clash with your bass. If that sort of makes sense

As for the football; its 'out there' showing on 3 TV stations at the moment, someone somewhere is trying to have a word with Vodaphone regarding ringtones and the like..that would be good
