Comments: This was my first digital mix (and it shows). I was just learning the technology and some of the mixes are raw. They sound a lot like the turntable mixes I did in the 2 decades prior. A lot of the mixes were ones that I used to do on turntables. There are some goods songs in this mix. The intro is weak, but I didn't have Acid Pro yet. I will someday get around to remixing the whole disc. For now, it stands as a reminder of my first journey into digital mixing.

Favorite Mix: Depeche Mode through Ministry

Comments: This mix has one of my favorite intros. I was waiting for the day I could use the Willy Wonka and Hellraiser samples I had on old cassettes. William Orbit provided a soft background to layer some cool rips. I begin to experiment with effects when beat syncing and combining multiple songs into one song. The Grandmaster Flash/Queen mix is an example. I got the idea for the Howard Jones/Eric B mix when I played them together on turntables and the scratching lined up perfectly with the HoJo break. I couldn't repeat it perfectly with records, but had a perfect opportunity on my computer. There are very few 90's songs in this mix. It could practically be just an 80's mix. This was the last of the 74 minute mixes. Eighty minute CD-Rs weren't around yet.

Favorite Mix: Grandmaster Flash/Queen/Wyclef

Comments: Volume 3 was still highly focused on the 1980's, however this mix includes one of my first original songs. The Underworld infused version of Crazy Train took as long to create as the rest of the mix. Even though it was not created with the efficiency that I would create it today, it still rocks. I like the songs on this CD, the mixing still needs some improvement. The intro is really short and not very creative. I started using text-to-speech web apps to create sentences for intros. I still use electronic voices in some mixes. I was asked to include some hip-hop on my next mix so I mixed 4 tracks together at the end. When you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. This would be the last mix with multiple songs in one track. Thank God.

Favorite Mix: Beastie Boys through Busta Rhymes

Comments: I finally got the right mix of songs on this one. A lot of people tell me this is their favorite of the 80's vs. 90's series. Besides finding the right songs, I am mixing a lot better with 3 CD's under my belt. There are a lot of Annie Hall samples in this mix. I must have just seen it and recorded a lot of samples. This is the first mix where every song is on it's own track. Except for the middle of the mix, there are still more 80's tracks than 90's. I guess I didn't learn my lesson after the first 3. This mix also is the first to attempt to seamlessly join the entire mix rather than have blocks of mixes.

Favorite Mix: Tears for Fears through Eon.

Comments: An even better example of trying to please everyone and ending up pleasing no one. I like all of the songs, but the style variances and changes are too radical and it ends up sounding disjointed. I have say that it was daring trying to mix Rage Against the Machine and Weezer. The only highlight is the intro. Anytime you have the opportunity to mix samples of Casey Kasem swearing, I recommend it.

Favorite Mix: Rush - Natural Born Chillers
