Know the breaks and mix it then!

I deffo agree that the old Italian Piano has gotta be the hardest of the computers generated genres to mix hasn't it.

You'll get there fella;)

I find italian stuff the easiest thing to mix with now, well almost as easy as it is to do the new skool stuff,

Anyone can learn to do it:) its just about working at it:D

As Butty says, its about knowing your records, listen to em & learn where the best points are to bring in the next tune:D

Keep at it fella, it gets a hell of alot easier;)

No wonder, this is a pants tune to mix!! to mix in.. U either have to have a tune that is totally in key with the beginning of 'Feel the Power' or drop 'Feel the Power' on the beat break of the tune ur mixin' out of, makin sure the piano of 'feel the power', drops in 4/4 time with the end of the break of the previous tune!!

Nearly all the old skool italian classics need to be arranged and thought out properly to be able to throw out a top mix!!

I must admit- I think piano stuff can be hard to mix, mainly for the reason that there's quite a lot going on in the tracks- so if you want to be daring & something goes slightly out & there are 2 melodies playing, you can really hear it if you have to slightly speed up or slow one.
Don't know if it's the hardest to mix.
