Damn, for a moment I thought I'd won!

patience laddy ..

HELLO BOYS! LOL I'm back after pulling all of my freaking hair out.... I look like a ragged, RABID dog now.....

OK.....Here's the deal. Very few judges followed their instructions and EMAILED me and since I posted in several diferent forums, I have had to track down many of the judges and send them PM'S because they never EMAILED ME.

I had planned to use my(now) old website to host all of the mixes but the service became so shoddy that I just couldn't. I will do this now though......I will upload ALL of the mixes to my new site and host them from there as long as I have the space but that shouldn't be much of a problem. I will send new links to ALL of the judges and we will get this freaking contest JUDGED and done with!

Does that sound like a plan?

Works for me

Its a plan, now all we need is it to actually happen, then another wait for judges to listen and judge!

*inserts 'tapping fingers' smilie*

why there is even a contest for this I have no idea.
What? is the judging going to be based on how well someone clicked their mouse? Or how fast the system used to put the mix together is for each entrant?

What a joke.

Get some turntables, get a job and buy some records!

What a negative attitude. I see all around me society moving forward into a new age of higher gas prices, the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer and the digital age pushing forward into new realms. It's been the basis of many heated arguments here on TA, digital mixing VS old school mixing and personally I am bored with it by now.

If you don't like it then don't listen but here's a clue for you. Personally, I mix mainly unsigned artists and for me to get their music and then personlly have it pressed into vinyl would cost me WAY to much money. I mix these artists because their music is top notch and they should be heard. Try doing THAT with your records and turn tables.

Again, if you don't like it then don't listen. What's it to you anyway? If you're looking to mix with hardware there are plenty of places to go. This contest was created so that the DJ's here that mix with software could have a place to go and have fun. We're not all made of money and we can't all go spend ten grand on a HOBBY. Why don't you just get a life and MOVE ON.

We don't like negative energy around this thread. Sorry.

Way to go Gemini69.....you tell him....lol

I am disgusted by the bullshit belief that digital djs have that they are doing some kind of noble service to the dance music community.

YOU ARE KILLING IT DEAD FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE IN ITS HISTORY.


But since you morons are too stupid to look past some superstars playlist and limewire combined if figures that you wouldn't understand this, and I am not going to waste my time explaining it all over again and again and again to deaf ears.

Well, unfortunately you don't seem to comprehend that SOME OF US are doing one of the GREATEST favors to the producers and artists by getting them played. Having been a DJ in a club, using hardware, I only wish I had the resources then that I do these days ebcause my sets would hev been so much better. I'm not talking about the software I use, I'm talking about the LIMITLESS SUPPLY OF FREE, FREE, FREE music that I have access to these days. I would have saved my self a whole hell of a lot of money!

We all THANK YOU.

Moving on now....... LOL

JUDGES!!!!! I need to know WHO HAS WHAT MIXES. PLEASE EMAIL ME and let me know!!!!! Email me at [email protected] with your answers. We'd all really like to get this over with. ALSO if you have filled out any of your score cards please email them to me at the same email address and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make the title line your juge name and the DJ the score card is for. THANK YOU ALL!

burn in hell digital scum.

No offence... but you most definitly suck, lithium.
I know you people who think you are above Shit because you mix w/ hardware ... but ... quetsion: what if Sasha was to turn off he's players and only use ableton... ? The he'll have to use mp3s ... then he would become as low as us ... and Sasha is not the only one ... Armin and a lot of good, "traditional" djs are starting to change from hardware to software ... so i'm telling you this now:

Mixing software is not a crime. D/l free songs is the crime ... And although TRANCE music isn't so popular in my country (ravers, based on trance music, are scares and "housers" dominate the clubs and most events) there is a comition that checks all the djs and all the clubs
for licensed music ... can u imagine that you can't mix in a club ?

So ... if you want to be a dj for a living ... and even produce your own stuff (God help you) then do it for yourself and for the reasons you want and you feel best ... As for the rest of us bedroom djs ... leave us be ... cause i for one don't have the money nor have i the time necessary to start buying records ... only to mix them at home, with no particular income so i can work out the money payed on the records... is basic economics

Therefore BEDROOM DJS WILL REMAIN PROMOTERS OF MUSIC ... while you HARDWARE DJs WILL REMAIN SUPPLIERS OF MUSIC.

Just listen to yourselves.

You claim to want to support the music but you won't even go out and buy it on the format and play it on the format that gave birth to the exsistance of the entire cultural movement known as underground dance...
You claim to be "too poor" and don't have the time to invest in shopping for tracks!!!
What the fuck kind of communist bullshit is this?? That's what it is. Communism.

Stop your whining and your lies. Get a fucking job, work your ass off and buy records and play them better than sasha or cockweed or the next superstar as determined by marketing dollars and then maybe you can stand up against them at a gig and push them right back into their holes or force them to up the ante - by going back to vinyl and re-learning how to mix and to peform for the dollars people somehow are suckered into paying to go see them now only to have them click mice and bop to to bmp counters.

Suck it up.

Are you seriously agreeing with him or do you not know the meaning of +1? Cause it wouldn't make sense if you hate digital mixing, since you're in the competition

did you not read what gemini said? the music he is able to play with software is UNRELEASED. That's another word for STUFF YOUR NOT ABLE TO BUY ON VINYL.

HAHAHA. if superstardom is determined by marketing dollars then what good would it do to spin better than them? push them right back into their million dollar mansion holes? i agree that marketing has a lot to do with the popularity of a dj. but that's another subject.

your big misconception, which is reiterated by this:

quote:

- by going back to vinyl and re-learning how to mix and to perform for the dollars people somehow are suckered into paying to go see them now only to have them click mice and bop to to bmp counters.

is that mixing with vinyl takes some kind of extraordinary skill. it doesn't. any yah00 can spend two grand on decks and a mixer and learn to beat-match. that isn't where the art is. the art is in track selection and progression. and THAT is why the mediums are changing. it's to progress the ART of djing. while vinyl is near and dear to my heart, it just isn't as viable a medium as it used to be. it is very expensive for labels to release on vinyl so much good music goes unreleased (there's that word again). plus with the speed of music being produced it's hard for anyone to keep up if they can only use vinyl.

purists such as yourself always have one major flaw in their arguments and that is that they are fundamentally more concerned with the form rather than the art.



edit: lol, i just realized that you probably don't even know about sites like beatport.com.

Lord fubar says it plainly ...
don't think there should be anymore fighting over this subject ... cause it has no sense...
I am 17 years old ... i'm still learning and i really don't have time for a job considering that i have a lot of exames ... i barely have time for this competition ... please don't judge me ... you wouldn't be able to understand me ... or anyone else on this forum/thread ...
It's your opinion and i respect it ...
It's my opinion and you can't do anything else then respect it ... or i will be forced to talk to a moderator and have you removed from this thread (not the forum ... i can't ask that) Please ... there's no reason for these types of insults... i thought that this is a friendly forum ...
please leave it this way

am buying all my tracks from beatport . Does that makes me a communist ?

No that makes you a moron, and makes beatport money.

I had a conversation the other day with a very well informed music industry professional about beatport and trackitdown. the only people who benefit from those services are the services themselves.

The form gave birth to the ART. Change the form, and the art dies.
