@MR2GTI
In the mp3 competitions you judged the last 3. If you can remember my first entry was the Ralph Fridge mix and now look how far I've came in DJ'ing so don't give up. I did'nt think your mix was that bad it was Rockabye who gave you the lowest scores. Your beat-matching was fine - could be a bit better. Your transitions and tracks were too short - you should have played them out more. Also there was too many trance styles in the one mix. If you've only been mixing live for a couple of months then don't expect to make the perfect mix all the time. I would say to you keep at it. If you're using PC DJ i strongly advise you to bin it and move on to Traktor DJ Studio 2.5.3...If you do change over then I'll certainly be able to help you out and use it to it's full capabilities.
Don't be too disheartened, nobody becomes a great DJ overnight.

Hey guys,
I'm posting because I decided to step out of the competition. Main reason for this is I have no time anymore to judge or create mixes for the competition. My spare time (music) goes mostly to production, and here and there some longer mixes atm and the competition just doesn't fit in my schedule.
So Sphere, you can delete my entry from the ranking.
I liked this idea, I hope to see a well grown up competition in a few months :D Good luck all!
-Jay

Comments during listening:
-----------------------------------------
Begining effect?! dont like it too much
1-2: Beatmatching is quite a bit off, especially 2:30 - 3:30. Harmonics: dont cross the base back and forth, do it quickly one way or slower to make is sound smoother (as you should for progressive) Also base cut was too long in my oppinion around 4:50
2-3: Interesting way of transitioning which i kinda liked. A lot better then the first transition, altho u should have brought in the melodic part a bit sooner and a bit slower. Should really stop paying around with effects too :)
3-4: transitioned in the part with no beats on song 3, shouldnt do that. Song 4 came in a bit too loud at first, too much trebble perhaps
4-5: Again transitioned in the quiet part
5-6: Track 6 was brought in a bit too loud among other transition problems
6-7: compared to previous stuff this was almost OK :)...
btw at this point you are over the 5-6 song limit so its up to Sphere to decide if he wants to disqualify you for this or count the score. read the rules on front page please.
7-8: around 25:20 the 8th song sounds like static nosise, not really beatmatched, hence transition sounds bad
8-9: smoother transition
Closing comments:
---------------------------------
Mixing with vinyls is tough. Keep pracitcing on beatmatching. Overall i really liked the songs you used, Altho i think the order should have been completely different. You should have started with the downtempo part first and then slowly moved on to faster songs and finished with the song you used in the very beginning. Keep songs playing longer, 3 min per song doesnt do do justice and the listener has to move on to the next song before getting into the current one. Also, dont use efects untill you get better at mixing, i think at this point they make your mix worse rather then better.
Score: (NOTE: 9 tracks in mix)
---------------------------------
Beat-matching: 5/25
Track selection and play order: 22/25 (lost marks for order)
Transition harmonics: 17/25 (lost marks for track #3)
TOTAL: 44/75.... 59%

1-2: nice and smooth, near flawless transition
2-3: likeing it so far
3-4: worked pretty well
4-5: around 26:06 and 26:30 it got a bit messy on the beatmatching side.
5-6: all is good....loving the last song :)

Techical part was pretty good. Howerver, the song selection and order was a different story. First 4 tracks were REALLY similar (i didnt say ALL cause i think 5 and 6 got a bit more energy, or maybe it was just me waking up), comon mix thing up a bit :P All songs are nice on their own but all these in same mix are kinda boring. You've got the techincal, now time to work on the creative part of putting toghether a 'mix'.
Score:
---------------------------------
Beat-matching: 23/25
Track selection and play order: 22/25 (lost makrs mostly for play order)
Transition harmonics: 24/25
TOTAL: 69/75.... 92%
WINNER: Opponent2 [I am guessing but this sounds like Sphere's mix :)] |

Thank you for participating and I'm sorry I have to end it. I'll probably start the old Mp3 DJ Competition in a few months. |

If its OK I would make the organisation of this competition.
First I thought the idea behind this competition wasn't good but here you can realy get feedback which is enormous.
I really like this competition it really has potential. |
