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.

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!

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
