Everytime I try to pick up mixing again it gets harder to get back into. My main gripe is I can't find a good enough program with suitable EQ control. I mean sure there's traktor/pcdj but if I'm going to be mixing like that I'll need to get a MIDI controller to handle the knobs.
I'm thinking of going for a CD DJ solution but those are pretty expensive. Silver Millennium is on hold for now.

Silver Millennium Phase 1
As I type I am integrating some new tracks to my new mix, so I just thought I'd like to let everyone know that it's not a DOA project (and I mean dead on arrival, not that crappy fanservice fighting franchise).
I'd say I'm 3/12 tracks into the mix. I will not be providing a tracklist this time around, not immediately anyway, I'll let some smart ears figure out what track is what.

Possible sequel to Crystal Tokyo
Well guys, I've started planning on a new mix in the same vein as Crystal Tokyo since everyone seemed to love that.
It's going to be called Tsushima Masaki - Silver Millennium ~a look back at Crystal Tokyo~
I'm not going to be reusing old Crystal Tokyo tracks but it's gonna be in that same uplifting trance style with some vocals. If anyone gets the name reference, then they're a fan of a certain something.
No promises on when it'll be released. It took me 6 months to make Trancient Moonscapes after all, and I put Moonlight & Rain on hold for a long time as well.

Kyoto Sessions
Hello everyone, it's the retired mixer Tsushima Masaki.
Recently I was very motivated to try my hand at mixing once again, this time doing house instead of trance. Unfortunately I realized the software I was using could no longer cut it so I had to abort my mix unfortunately.
It was going to be titled Tsushima Masaki presents Kyoto Sessions, basically to differentiate between Trance (Tokyo) and House (Kyoto).
My main problem is effective EQ use and I think I'll have to buy a mixer if I want to get back into the mixing scene.
Here's where you can get the concept version: http://masakism.mine.nu:10240/ Btw, you can still get my older mixes via that link.
It's called Scenic Route.
Let me know what you think, if I'm encouraged enough maybe I'll consider getting a mixer and doing this for real. And yes, I know some of the transitions suck, I'm not that good anymore :/
