trancEaddict Mp3 DJ Mix Competition II

Closing date for DJs: 1st April
Closing date for mixes: 1st May
Closing date for results: 1st June

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:
1. 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.

actually, Most of my work is completed on my computer. Been mixin via cpu since 98. Use acid, sonif foundry, fruityloops. As for this competition, i'll probably be using Atomix, as it is a live mixer

Posted by mr_sick on Mar-03-2003 15:08:

Atomix wasn't allowed for the last one, I suppose it will be the same for this one. You should use Traktor, virtual turntables,...

Posted by djthunderbird on Mar-03-2003 15:48:

why isnt atomix allowed?

actually I dont care since traktor kicks atomix's ass anyway

Posted by DJ.MD on Mar-03-2003 22:38:

I'll be a judge if that's ok

Posted by Skanz on Mar-04-2003 06:20:

i want participate too

Posted by payne on Mar-04-2003 09:38:

yeah i'll be in it again

Posted by mr_sick on Mar-04-2003 10:16:

For atomix mp3 we already had a discussion about that, check HERE

Atomix mp3 does really weird sounds when auto bpm is used, and is very inacurrate for beatmatching.

Posted by rbb on Mar-04-2003 15:26:

Judge :)

mr_sick: any room for more judges?

If so, sign me up

Posted by mr_sick on Mar-04-2003 17:17:

Of course no problem

Posted by benfica88 on Mar-05-2003 03:23:

I'm in. But I plan to use atomix but obvisouly without all those stupid auto features.I've been playing with atomix and I'm getting the feel for it.

Posted by Skanz on Mar-05-2003 06:46:

Question: where can i upload my set ??

i will mix it with Traktor

Posted by djmore on Mar-06-2003 04:40:

I only use atomix because thats what I have used for live sets since day one. Don't use any of the auto beat match options, so don't get the weird noises you talk about

Posted by mr_sick on Mar-06-2003 09:11:

Ok so no problem

Skanz: I will keep you informed for the ftp infos later

Posted by PEZ68 on Mar-06-2003 16:19:

Ok. Could you let me in please?

Posted by t0ast! on Mar-06-2003 23:10:

just another FYI

I'll be donating my ftp space once again for you TA's. Its the least I can do for the trance brethren

Make sure to contact a judge for the ftp info once your mix is completed.

cheers!

Posted by noikeee on Mar-07-2003 11:30:

I'm interested in participating, but I mix with Atomix (no autobeatmatch as it sucks).. also, I won't be able to upload the mix at once, only if there is a resuming possibility, or by zipping it into several files.
