Can we have two smaller simaltaneously run competitions?
I think it'd be better to run two smaller competitions, say like 15 people in each with 3-5 judges for each, rather than one huge one with 30 peoeple and 5 judges.
One can be run the old way, with any PC program (no cdjs, no vinyl) LIVE, and this competition mixed NON-LIVE.
I think there's an artistry to being able to do stuff live, and if you do mess up and don't have time to redo the whole set, how well can you pass it off? Perhaps less marks can be devoted to beatmatching and harmonics and more to tracklisting, flow and other qualities that give a live set it's extra oomph compared to a flawlessly mixed edited CD. Whereas the NON-LIVE competition can focus more closely on beat matching, harmonics and creativity (which shouldn't be labelled here, and should be open to judges interpretations to PREVENT people from using ideas or thinking they HAVE to use the suggestions or ONLY the suggestions made.. ie dropping acapellas or bootlegging).
A lot of the times in previous competitions, if I wanted to bootleg or drop stuff or mess with tracks, I'd do it pre-set or during a live set. Also, I wouldn't have to worry about being perfect in a LIVE set competition and focus more on having fun rather than fretting over perfection just to be able to compete on that scoring area with other mixers in this competition.
Thoughts?
