records get quiter after 6-7 mins (i think), but making records is a polutant, so i say fill em up with music, i never noitce a dip in volume when listerning to records at home, but i guess there not mastered to +6 for the deeejays

In my dubstep set i posted on here (see signature) I had 24 tracks into an hour and 10 minutes.

I think it sounds great and definatly keeps the attention span of a listener especially someone who doesnt listen to dubstep. Do you think that is mixing too fast?

When it comes to track lengths, it doesnt really matter how long you make it. If it sounds good for a minute then a dj will only play it for a minute then mix out. If it sounds good for 5 minutes then he/she will let it play for 5 minutes. So really, make your track as interesting as possible and if you think having it longer loses its effect then make it shorter. There are lots of people in dubstep who listen to single tracks, and a good dj is flexible so there is no reason to cater to them (like many dnb tracks).

i think that's my problem.... i think too much like a DJ when i structure tracks so my structures end up a bit repetitive and boring

something else to work on then

for the record my latest dubstep tune was just over the 6 minitue mark after s bit of editing cos it was too long

peace
