I'll ask my BF to do it (he's an excellent prog dj)...but I wonder...how is this done?

Is this live mixing online so that the 2 dj's can follow up on eachother right at that minute? how else can you mix 4 different sets and make it one?

confjooooooooooooooooooooosed

CD...tape....MP3....WAV? So then, DJ #2 basically adds on 20 min to DJ #1's mix and then passes it on to DJ #3...and so on? Also, why limit it to only 4 DJs? Why not have "teams" ...where you would have "team A" which would be 4 DJs.....and "team B"...which could be another 4 DJs....and however many teams you want? Then you would end up with more than one 80 min. set and you could see which "team" comes up with the best set? Just a thought. That would also give more people a chance to show their stuff.

The teams thing is a good idea but, we didn't want to make it too complicated as this is the first time are we going to attempt it. If all goes well maybe on the next one we'll try to work it with teams. As for now i think its better to keep it small as possible so it doesn't get lost in its own hype. It can be cd/mp3 or vinyl what-eva medium you prefer to mix on. But please none of that cool-edit or traktor mixing. If you are going to mix using software use vtt or pcdj.
The way it will work is lets say for instance i am the first dj and neo is the second dj. I do my 20 minute set. then send it to him in .mp3 he can convert to wav load into what-ever program he uses to record his mixes. He plays the first twenty minutes of my mix and from my last song he begins his mix. Once he reaches his 20 minutes. He then saves and he sends to dj #3 so on and so forth. Tempez

right count me in i would miss out on a chanmce like this i love this wacky kind of plan

I am most certainly in! Just tell me where to sign!

I think (as I understand) the whole point is to make an 80minute compilation of 4 TA sets. Four 20 minute sets are mixed into one another, and voila, we have a CD's worth.

It's not necessarily done at real time (I don't think we're actually all that good yet), but once you have completed your 20 minutes, it can be mixed into three others, and we end up with an AWESOME set.


EDIT

I saw TranStreemAdmin's set available but it's already deleted. Is that a bad sign?

PS- I tried my tracklist 2nite - I love it already. BRING IT ON!!

this is indeed the only way I can think of to do it, too. But this brings up a problem concerning sound quality: We will encode and decode 4 times until the mix is finished = Sound loss galore...

only other possibilty is a bit complicated: DJ A finishes his set with track X. He then tells DJ B "I finished with track X at 135.8 bpm". DJ B starts his set with the end of track X at the same bpm. Tells DJ C the track with which he ended his set and so on.
Then everybody encodes once and uploads to some webspace. The last DJ (or someone else with the necessary skills) downloads all 4 parts, decodes to .wav and joins the sets in cool edit or something similar. That way the mixes will only be encoded twice. (Or is there a prog that lets you cut up and join in mp3 format?)

Hope I didn't loose everybody...

DJ Dawn's idea seems better than encoding or, The four Dj's could agree to record onto a cd and mail it to one another as they finish. For Example Dawn records his 20 min set onto cd mails it to me I then run that through my mixer and begin mixing as his set ends. Once done I mail a 40 min Cd to next person in line.

More than likely, there's going to be the need for a "final" mixdown because when you have 4 different sets that were recorded on 4 different systems by 4 different people....well...the chances of the EQ and volume levels being the same are probably just a little better than the chances of winning the lottery......so someone (perhaps DJ #4) will probbably have to the final mixdown on it.

i'm sorry to point out the obvious but what the fuck is everyone on as long as the but rate of the mp3s is reasonably high the sound quality will be ok and wtf is everyone goin on about volume levels for its easy to balance them all that needs to be done is the next dj balnces out the decbel level on the mixer and sorted any dj with a quarter of a brain can achieve that.

Well...I've only got 3 brain cells left...so you'll have to excuse me.

dude count me in for this!! as for the method of mixing, the idea that after one dj finishes his mix he would send it on to the second one. the second one will take it out, load it onto his cd player and start mixing...and the process goes on. whatever you decide, make sure its good with everyone involved in this.
