TrancEaddict Mp3 DJ Mix Competition VI (FULL)

Closing date for DJs: 1st August
Closing date for mixes: 1st September
Closing date for results: 1st October


There will be no exceptions for DJ entry, however exceptions will be made if people are having problems uploading with slower connections. My suggestion is to send your mix to somebody with a fast connection for them to upload.

Mixes must be submitted in 160kbps Mp3 quality, CBR or VBR, no Mp3-Pro files are allowed.

Mixes must be 60 to 80 minutes in length.

You may mix with Mp3s in Real Time (Traktor was the most used for the last one)

All DJs must state how they have made their set, ie which program used.

All mixes must be recorded live, no using multiple mixes and sticking the best transitions together.
You may plan and practise your mix, but not to the point that it becomes robotic.

All mixes must be uploaded with a tracklist, a cue sheet would also help. You may combine both into the cue sheet, but remember not all CD writers support that type of cue sheet so be careful when burning.

Contestants may not also be a judge, you have the choice to be either, not both.

You may not download other contestants mixes.

You must mix trance, this rule bends as far as progressive and hard trance. Contestants will be disqualified for extended use of non-trance music.

Mixes will be marked on the following categories:
a) Track selection and play order
b) Beat-matching
c) Transition harmonics
All sections contain 25 marks, no section is worth more than another.
A percentage will then be calculated from these three areas to give a better comparison.

You must actually mix to gain marks, snapping together of tunes is not allowed. That is not really DJing.

All judges will have to be appoved by me and will only be accepted as long as nobody else has any problems. Judges must take this duty to mix seriously. All mixes must be marked on skill and the way the contestant progresses their mix, NOT ON PERSONAL OPIONION OF THE CONTESTANT OR THE SONGS HE WISHES TO MIX. Although contestants must abide by the tracklist rules.

Judges and Administrators have the right to reserve and change/ammend these rules.

me too : 03 PeZ

04: Commisad

Having no experience in TRAKTOR or any realtime equipment, and really only going the way of WAV editor's and cut/paste technique's, I have no way of entering.......

.Therefore, how does one become a judge for said event?

ie. JUDGE!!!!!!!!!

Competitor

Sonorescent

i like to be a judge tell me how 2 become one.

ill compete.

to be a judge, simply state you have a desire to be one. You'll be added to the list, and contacted with information by the organizer for this competition with information on how to download the sets, tracklists, and such. You mark them after the closing date, and then hand in your results, hopefully before the deadline.

I'm sure to speed this process, competitors could maybe post here once they've uploaded their final mix so judges can mark them before the closing time so we don't run into the ususal 2-3 month backlog in getting scores back after judging begins. =)

After the info of DjCommissad i defenitly want to be a judge.
So if i can be on the list thnx.

Please let me know!

JUDGE INFO

A judge shuold be able to tell when a transition is off beat, when it's not in sync or when it's not key matched. So, you need to judge beatmatching, barmatching and keymatching. Also you need to know if the set has a continuous flow (a good tracklist), and the DJ is not losing energy in a transition. You're not allowed to judge a set by you're personal opinion about the tracks in it.

If you think you can do that just tell me and you're in.

Does FinalScratch count as a mixing program? I would be using mp3s and it would be mixed live.

That's OK. Are you in?

In the previous comps , final scratch wasn't allowed...

Competitor again as Marius Linauskas

Ok i think im not that good by judging... maybee if you need some one tell me otherwise ill pass.

Count me in as usual (competitor)...I've got stacks of new stuff

Count me in if FinalScratch is allowed. If not, no big deal but don't add me to the list.

My DJ name is Major Johnson, not sure what name you want on the signup sheet.

07: Rockabye
