I was wondering for how long are people who entered this competition mixing. I started in may 2003 and I usualy spin in weekends a few hours because of the school.

i begon 7 years ago with a computer that had only one soundcard and then after i discovered the cd and vinyl mixing.

now i do a bit of all the three when i can found time because of school

i think he means me

I prefer to think of that 1 second as "the personal touch", similar to a few saw and chisel marks on a fine piece of handcrafted wooden furniture.

wouuuuuuwww that is fast, amazing.

as it should be

maybe the person collecting scores and comments and compile comments and send to each person rather than having to bug each judge and have each judge send comments to 10-30 people each?

You tell em......

Well I've only got 3 left to judge, then I will email mr_sick a .pdf (incase he doesn't have excel ) of the results. Then I'll wait until all the judges have entered their results and I will post my comments on this board (most likely as a .pdf as well) as I've already started compiling some notes for some of you.

I unfortunately lost the first few competitors notes after I cleaned my trash-heap err, apartment. NP, should have that ready for you guys by the judgine deadline of May 1. My decisions will be in this weekend .

ooh that is cool news

Well, if went and took the responsibility of judging. This contest, in essense, is for fun, but people do take to heart judge's scores and their comments. No one here is perfect, but we can't get any better unless people like yourself actually take the time to listen to them and give them the proper feedback. Even if they bore you, that's a bit shallow because as a judge and a DJ yourself, you're only looking at half of what makes the music. Admittedly, track selection is ideal, but without beat matching, harmonics and mixing, you could have the best track selection and order in the world but if you can't mix it, people are still going to be pissed off. In fact, in the spirit of this competition, 2 of the 3 marking scores are for mixing/harmonics and beat matching, which are two essential parts of any mix.

Please take the time and effort to at least mark the sets based on the criteria. If they bore you, and undoubtedly there will be sets that do that, try bear through it and add that personal note at the end, but it shouldn't affect your scoring in regards to beat matching, and should only slightly affect your scores for track selection and harmonics. The tracks may be boring, but if the DJ still took noticeable time and effort (and you notice this in the mix) to order tracks that flow together, you should still give them this credit.

You also shouldn't base the entire competition on just TWO mixes.

Ever consider that your being banned from the other forum might have something to do with it?

Posted by vmc on Apr-24-2004 10:04:

Only one week left!! Looking forward to the results !!

Posted by DjCommisad on Apr-24-2004 15:28:

ill be happy to make top 20

like i said, i had lots of fun, so that's all that matters. getting decent or great scores is icing on the cake.

even played the last half of my set on the radio and got a couple of positive reviews so even that just makes me happy!

Posted by john2 on Apr-25-2004 01:23:

That's the spirit.I totally agree with you DjCommisad.First of all we should have fun making them and enjoy them ourselves and then the results are a welcome.I haven't played my set on my radio show as basically i'm playing every time some of these tracks.Anyway congratulations to everyone and to the judges for downloading,listening and scoring them
