Ok Here's the results!

Times of the mixes? #1 was 45 and #2 was 74 mins?! They should have been the same time as this allows mix #2 to get more "wrong" with this type of mark scheme!

ok i am quite harshe with my judging, you have to understand that these are both v.good mixes and beat the crap out of 90% of the actually djs playing in my local clubs! I try and pick out all that can be inproved so that you will be the next Tiesto in months!

49/70 - 70%

I liked the track selection and the constant flow of trance, but this was slightly hindered by the beats, which at places were off and out. However this was slightly undermined by the good timing and harmonics which kept the dance going! I didn’t knock off a lot of marks due to the the volume problems, probably wasn’t your fault but this did, unfortunately, make it more difficult to appreciate your mixing and the tunes! The main criticism's I had were that it was one tune after another, which would be great for a peak time set, but there was little build up, and the end tracks were a bit out of style with the rest of the mix. But they were tunes, reasonable unheard and went well together, which is why I rewarded you on your track order. Good 1st mix, and when the volume probs are fixed I look forward to another mix! ps. Try wavelab, d/l it off the net.

53/70 - 76% - Winner!

Great mix! Very good beat mixing and phase, good tracks and a solid mix. Just a few criticisms; the first track is quite progressive and after you jump straight into trance! The main problem with this mix is the track order, they could be swapped about to create a more flowing build up, which would add a greater emphasize to the last tunes, making them more uplifting. Again it’s a peak time set and quite a tune set, with some great tunes, and some more less well known ones. There is only one transition which stood out from the rest, I think it was #7 where the harmonics were out and it went out of time. Apart from these minor errors this was a great mix, good mixing and consistency but it did also lack the DJ's originality. There were some good effects used but the mix wouldn't have stood out in originality from others, i.e. few harmonic transitions were attempted, but this is only my personal preference! ANYHOW, GOOD MIX AND CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks for judging and for giving such an extensive quotation . Now I know a little more about the points that I should work a little harder on and that I should focus on a little more.

I know it was a pretty hard set, but I was already mixin for about 45 minutes before I taped this, so I wanted the song to be a little more *boomboom* you know

I know the volume changing was a little irritating but it was the first time that I recorded a set on my computer, but more important I know how I can fix it

I wasn't to happy about this set myself because I have done better, but afterall the final ruling wasn't devastating

Thanks again

PS: Congratulations to Proitious

Originally posted by Tiger777 Owkay...! Now, I judged the mixes in my folder. And, I must say, both please me very much. I think, the beatmatching work of mix 1 is done better. But on the other hand, I think that there is a better build-up in mix 2. It starts of with some pretty (excuse me) boring tracks and then gets better every minit. Mix 2 is more my style actually... but, after thinking it over, and relistening to both mixes, I say, Mix 1 wins... (sorry author of mix 2) About my mix: My competetor is Sym, I already sent him a couple of mails, so, no problem there. We'll prolly arrange something about mix # and I'll tell him to put his mix in your folder...

Any word on Sym uploading his mix yet? It's been a while since the first challenge, almost a week, and if it was a formal challenge, then the person who was challenged will loose. I can change this since I'm an admin now, but let's try to wrap things up here so we can move on to other challenges!

Tiger777 is on vacation at the moment (return the 27th) so I guess someone else must try to contact sym OR if the week passes, give victory to Tiger 777 (as he DID upload a mix)

@ TheMightyCad: the rulez are in the 1st post
