I don't own any turntables or a mixer, but I've put together some mixes over the last five years using sound editing software. I just calculate the BPM, then stretch or compress by the %-difference between the two to syncronize, then fade out the ending song and fad in the beginning song, and overlap the paste. It works pretty well although I don't have exactly the same kind of flexibility as I would with a mixer.
It's fairly derivative work, because I'm too cheap and don't have enough time to troll record stores, so a lot of this comes from other .mp3 mixes I already have, where I've excised a number of songs like, canned the ones I don't, and attempted to string them back together in a way that makes sense to me, based on the way I like to watch a night progress.
In any event, I've got 10 or so CD-length mixes that I'd like to make available for download for anyone who might be interested. Personally I think they're pretty damn good in terms of song selection, progressing, taking you on a journey, and bringing you back to square one, although each one probably has something I'd do a bit differently after having made them--you know, if I had it do over again, knowing what I now know, I would change X and Y.
I also use them at the gym on the eliptical machines--you can get going around 130-136 strides per minute and it's very similar to dancing your head off. It makes an hour go by pretty quick. In fact, I think it would be a helluva lot more entertaining to have these eliptical machines take the place of spinning classes, which do the whole (bad) dance music, lights thing.
Anyway, I am clueless regarding how where to host these, although I do have some kind of FTP software that I've never used but should be able to upload to a server if someone can either host or point me to someone with server space.
Any help would be appreciated. |
