-- Why don't you compete in the ID contests?
Pages (6): « 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 »
I live in the US. These boards are my only source of information. By the time I catch on to a hot track, the masses have already moved on to other hot tracks.
I would have no idea where to begin to ID unknown tracks.
tbh i dont come on TA much anymore 
i dunno why.. but when i remember i DL the latest ID compo. id personally say im shit hot with IDs, i have a decent knowledge of quite a lot of different styles of music.. but i dont listen to trance anymore, havnt done for the last 2-3 years, never liked electro really.. and new house i dont care for... i still make about 20-30 points maybe more, but im never gonna win, so i dont submit my answers

That's how I see it. 
Im crap at IDing stuff, especially trance.
add some progressive and I would participate
Already won 2 times so I don't have to prove anything anymore , just kidding. Nowdays I just don't have the time. Maybe on winter I could involve...
I like progressive, melodic/uplifting and classics, use those genres please. No techno and electro

I stopped bothering when I didn't know any of the new trance stuff

| Originally posted by Gauss 80 samples * 15 seconds = 1200 seconds = 20 minutes The contest lasts 2-3 weeks, right? Well, don't tell me you can't spare an hour or two in those 2-3 weeks to find some IDs. |

I suck at IDing.. even in my own genre of DJing...

| Originally posted by GroundLine Older stuff? Not in my current one, the average in the trance and electro section is 2003! And the rest are just jokes... I'll bet you'd get over 20 points, probably closer to 40... Help change the ID Contest to a more interesting one with less obscure music and more contestants by taking part and giving pointers to the next contest's holder! |

| Originally posted by Gauss I thought ID contests are about showing your knowledge of music by IDing tracks you already know... But oh well. |

| Originally posted by Gauss Don't get me wrong, I didn't think people participate in that way, I just think that participating in that way would be the most fair and honest way to do it. =) |
In that case the ID contest should have a more defined goal... Winner should be either the one who IDs the biggest number of tracks by already knowing them or the one who IDs the biggest number of tracks by haunting them down thanks to, for example, googling lyrics or recognizing certain artist's style.
