I'll usually put a soft limiter on the master to bring the levels up first. It's nice because you get good feedback on what needs to done. Especially in the bass department.

+1 for mixing in a tune in traktor from another you like....really opens your eyes.

Better if you can play your track in the middle of a party and see how people reacts.. you never know how people is going to react and in the other hand I know the sound in a big Soundsystem is unpredictable. Is there anybody who would like to play my tracks in a big gig, invite me and tell me how people answer to them?

Playing your track with traktor in the middle of good stuff is a good idea. Thanks!

Well the old TR series and 20/20's. I haven't heard the Opals yet.

I think it really depends on what kind of sound are u trying to achieve. And also for me it doesnt make sense to compare ur tracks to commercial cds because u dont have the access to that hundred dollars studio anyway. So my advice is to stick to 3-4 artists rom the scene you are into and go from there.

So true, If there's anybody capable to reack Lady Gaga sound with a home studio raise one's hand

(I think that's impossible)
