I see a former poster here doesn't like us.  ;D

Anyway, you could have picked a better song. Other than that, good job.

Good mix.  I like the music a lot actually. 

From 0:25-0:35 is where it really gets good.  It seems to mesh perfectly with the music.  TP

It amazes me how much you love this kid. I just don't see it....

Anyway, I like the mix. I liked that track you used too.  Your effort warrants a tp from me; but the video like the player suffers from lack of minutes.  ;)

This reminds me of a former poster named High5forLife or something like that, that guy's mix was nice too, he was Gerald Green all day everyday :D

hard to find a good song thats a minute long, its an intro to a cd.

I thought that was where it dragged..I guess cuz it was only a minute, but I'd take a song that heats up faster (I really liked the beginning), then loop the chorus or something.

The mix and the song together just kinda feel like it never gets going if that makes sense. At the 32 second mark is where you want the song to pick up, but when it doesn't it kinda threw me off.

I thought it was very well put together from a visual perspective though.

Everytime bill Walker touches the ball it's Magic. Great video!

Anyways why do I only have like 3 tommy points while every1 else is in the 100s?  :'(

Good stuff, xmusc, thanks for putting it together.  While I might have liked something a bit more uptempo also, the song isn't bad either.

Also, so far as the time issue, I think there are a number of things you could do to make that less of a concern in choosing your song.  I don't know how familiar you are with audio editing or what type of computer you're on, but I think you can import an mp3 file into GarageBand, Audacity (a free Mac program) or Audition/CoolEdit and cut it up from there.  Those sorts of programs are fairly user-friendly and I think would allow you to make cuts at whatever lengths you like and add fades and other volume dynamics wherever you see fit to make it work.

Again, not sure what you're using and how much time you're looking to devote to the mixes, but I think those are options that might be worth considering.

That said, having never made one of these before, I bring it up only because you mention the issue of time and music.  I'm in no position to criticize, and I enjoyed the mix.  Keep 'em coming!
