tick strongly agree

I'm sorry, but I can't see why a 12 minute track wouldn't fit on a vinyl...

When I was about 8 years old vinyls were still pretty much the , and I had a few of them, which contained 4 or 5 tracks per side. So I can't see why a 12 minute track wouldn't fit. :rolleyes:

Of course I'm not the authority on vinyl, so I don't know if I'm missing something :conf:

If it isnt boring, no

I AM ALSO thinking of releasing the 12 minute CLUB MIX - JUST in a shorter version as well - say 8 minutes.

vinyl and cd

do DJs not like 12 minute pieces incase they think its too long

depends on the dj, but the original-original of
Pryda - Aftermath was 14 minutes long and that got a few plays before the shorter 10 minute version was released

So is the radio edit, your song? or do you have a radio edit that you're thinking of remixing?

There are no set rules, but a club mix/version can be around 4-15 minutes
6-12 for trance, 4-8 for techno (unless when you say 'techno', you dont actually mean techno). Generally speaking

Got a sample of your song?
You sound like you're 15 years old

There's no such thing as too long.

It can, but it will be a really ty quality....waaaay too much compression. It will be beyond listenable.

I recommend: Don't do it. 7" 45s are only for radio singles...ie: tracks 3-5 minutes in length.

This is not a music production issue, this is an audio engineering issue and shouldn't be any concern of yours, the producer. If you don't intend to press your music to wax, then the size of your music doesn't have any constraints.

Sure. There's no reason why it can't. Singles are released on CD all the time, though they are usually supplemented with remixes and reworks to give more added value for the purchase.

No. I told you this before, why don't you ever pay attention to me...it would save you tons of grief from asking the same stupid questions like an idiot.

The rule of thumb is: ALWAYS GIVE THE DJ MORE THAN HE NEEDS.

You're not giving him songs, you're giving him parts of songs (theoretically) that he will combine with other parts of songs to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

There is no set length to the music you release, but the more music you can give him to work with, the better things are for him.

Remember: You don't get to decide what DJs do with your music. They do.

THANKS ISHKUR for the advice.

i actually meant a 12 inch vynil at 45 RPM.

IS THAT POSSIBLE

ALSO THANKS Nsonic for your answers. they are a real help.

with regards to members here questioning my musical skills, i am okay at classical and world but cant seem to get this ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC easily. i dont have natural groove so everything is done analytically.
because of my classical background i cant sense how loud the drumming parts should be in comparison to the melodic parts, i tend to naturally have them much quieter than other recordings. and when i do raise the drumming volume it feels wierd for me to listen to it.
even though everyone who hears it says it should be louder.
GO FIGURE.

i have been working on this for 12 years, but at the same time have been experimenting with a new beat.
by the way ISHKUR your website electronic music history has been instrumental in me beginning to have a bit of an understanding of all this - greatly appreciated A I guess heaps of people on the globe have as well.

You can compress 23 minutes of music on one side of a 12" vynil without there being any noticeable difference or loss in quality.

Beyond that, things get a bit dodgy.
