| I was wondering if anyone has a offical spin day where they play every single track in their collection. Or at least a hefty chunk of your vinyl. I take 1 day out of the month and do this and I scramble them and play what ever is in order and try to make the best of the mix. It runs me around 9 hours, but i just buy 2 cases of redbull. |

| Sounds like a fun idea to me, but it would take me way too long, others even longer. Haven't started playing out yet, but I find the best times for me are the long mix sessions with my friends. Can't play all my records, but I get a chance to play quite a few. |

| I do the same thing with some of my friends. We get together and setup usually 4 or more decks and each of us mixes two tracks, than somebody else does their thing. Last time, my friend brought his fender strat and i decided to connect it to my SSL's mic in and scratch the guitar samples live. great fun. Once i get my monitors, I'll try to get something going. |

a day? would take me a month....
every day i randomly pick out some records and stick them on. Mainly looking for samples or loops or some other inspiration.
Not mixing as such just....listening. |

That's a neat idea.
I just don't think I could ever do that by myself though. The longest I've ever mixed is about 3 hours. After that I started getting a little bored as I was by myself. Maybe with friends or a crowd I could go longer.
I do play a different set every day though. I just grab 13 tracks and mix, similar to like what you said...no programming or anything. |

| woops, i didnt' read the whole post. No i never listen to all of my tracks in one sitting. That will take months. But getting friends together and dicking around like my earlier post is better. |

| Would take me about a week, and I don't think I can stay up that long. |
