-- How many people actually download mixes from here?
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

I guess this would also be a good place to ask this:

Has anybody ever thought of asking one of the TA admins to maybe create a DJ promotion forum that
is only open to users with 500+ posts on TA? Reason for that is to avoid having to filter through a lot of
the junk that gets posted here, as well as to ensure that active users maybe get to have their mixes
stay around for a little longer.

Just a thought

i do, its just a shame i dont really like the 'new sound' of dance music

its definately rewarding when you stumble upon a great oldskool trance mix. i like the really gritty early-mid sounds but at the same time i discovered dubstep in here and im really liking that too

On one hand it sounds like a good idea, but on the other hand you have to realize that a lot of the "junk" is mostly just Radio DJ's posting links to their shows, and there are plenty of people who don't post a lot, yet spin very good music and actively review other mixes as well, so post counts might not be a good measure. Take DJSoulStone for instance, he's a great DJ who reviews a lot of sets and puts out some too but doesn't have 500 posts.

Thanks for the flowers!
I've been in a lot of forums of many different types, but a special area connected to a certain amount of posts never worked. Honestly, a properly styled thread and mods that clean up is enough in my opinion.

The 500 post idea is not bad , but then on other hand you might have people that are not very good in english , but their mixing and taste of music might be good that wouldn't be able to post a mix anytime soon.


Regarding the different types of dj's , I do see more support here within the techno/deep house dj's than from the trance and proggy ones . As well as more interaction in the music discussion sub forum .

I suggested this a long time ago in the suggestions thread but nobody ever replied anything.

About the circle-jerk, there's a bit of it yes, but you have to consider that people that like certain kinds of music will get together and give replies to the other djs that like the same kind of music. I think this bunch of house and techno guys I listen to are bloody good, so no wonder it attracts loads of replies.

Occasionally there's these hidden gem from someone who only has 3 posts on TA and it goes un-noticed, but well that's life. There's so much shit in here too, it's hard to filter out what's good and what's bad, so everyone tends to stick to the known names. Keep on posting your stuff and if it's good eventually you'll have followers.

And needing 500 posts to put a mix here is a shit idea.

Love this site - have d/l many gems

Yeah, 500 is a lot but something like 50 or even 25 would at least guarantee that the people who just come in here to spam their mixes won't be able to do so

Is someone feeling lonely :/

+1 for s Sushi mix!

Originally posted by Domesticated Also, this thread is now a petition for Sushipunk to make a mix. I asked him a few weeks ago and he said no, the big poof. No one on tranceaddict downloads, hosts and generally supports people's mixes more than Sushi, and he seems to have an appreciation for a lot of genres. I would love to hear what such a man could produce...

Lol, you fag

I told you, I'm no DJ. I like a heap of different genres, sure, but I don't think that qualifies me at all to create a mix of my own. Also, I don't know how to mix!

To answer the OP's question: Yes, I DL a heap of music from here. There are some extremely talented guys that post sets here, and I would say that at least 3/4 of the music I listen to comes from this place

Often depends on genre, although I do like house/techno/breaks/other stuff a fair bit anyway. I will occasionally download a random mix that looks promising, and hey if it turns out to be good that person will be on my list of djs I like. Mostly though, it's a matter of seeing the people who's musical opinions I respect/agree with the most either post sets or be interested in others and I'll take a shot at them myself. Although there's a few genres (like oldschool goa trance, have been a bit dissapointed by a few newschool mixes) that I will just download for the most part regardless of whoever posted them simply because I really like the genre and hardly anyone posts sets of it here.

Hey man you can learn a lot about DJing in the DJ booth forum too.

Hey, please keep the rape talk in the c0r

I just signed up, but ive been lurking around here for years, and dl'ed a lot of mixes. Im trying to give feedback now as ive become a member, but many times i forget...

Btw. what really annoys me are people who write something like: "I made this mix a while ago, but don't remember the track IDs. Please help."
This is so ridiculous...

I DL and always review the mixes I download. Sometimes I forget about the mix (since my desktop is messy) but when I rehear it, I always return for feedback. The clique is definitely here, but its not because of a "circle jerk", its because, as someone else here mentioned, some people like the exact genres and they listen to them (me, for example, listen to ambient and psy/goa so I download mixes from that genre). I like it when the favour of reviewing the mixes is returned since I am also an active user here. Its part of the "game".
