Promise and Quality DJ Competition...

well and truly gutted!
made a mix last night and micks computer crashed after we saved it. when we tried to get bk onto the computer we couldnt.
keyboard didnt seem to be workin, so his computer must have had some sort of virus.
ah well, shit happens.
just hope theres another comp soon.
wasnt really botherd bout winning. wouldnt have minded some feedback.

I know exactly what you mean.. had a similar experience last night.
I'd just finished recording when the computer completely froze up! Thought it had all gone cos I hadn't saved the mix yet.. but as luck would have it, SoundForge 4.5 recorded it directly to a wave file so I was able to recover it... *phew*

Craig - If you really want to enter and have another go at recording a mix, feel free to use my setup. The Cd can be recorded in under 10 mins after finishing the mix.


Anyway.. CD is recorded. Not my very best effort by a long shot, but i don't have the spare time to make a prefect mix

It'll be dropped off at Foundation at lunchtime.

cheers for the offer dude.
havent really got time 2day.
parents are comin bk from hols and the house is a total shithole.
need to tidy up.

Re: Poor...

i posted mine and revel's under the door as there was no answer (and you're too poor to afford a mail box)

Re: Re: Poor...

If there's no letter box, how does the postman deliver the ones that have been sent by post?

Re: Re: Re: Poor...

They probably have a PO box so they can collect their mail from a local counter mate

Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

ah yea good point!! Hopefully mine got there this morning!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

I handed mine in on Wednesday and I dont know if Lee got it, I hope so. I busted my balls to get it mixed and handed in on time

Handed in and waiting for feedback .. hope he anjoys it

How long u been djing for Peter?
What do u play?

Been mixing for over 3 years.. probably 4 now! CDs and MP3 and what I know, but I've gained a lot more skill in vinyl this year - even more since getting the new decks

I mix Trance - not hard but theres always 1 or 2 tunes which I'll make an exception for. I like the circa 2000 / 2001 style before things became harder and over commercialised.. but I tend to pick up and mix tunes from any genre that gets me moving.

Nice1, I never even knew that u were a dj until today

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

Is yours a trance one then? Mine's hard house

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

Yeah, I play trance and tech trance, mostly Marco V style stuff, I try to be different.
I play hard aswell but I didn't have time to do a cd for both.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

Mine's well hard lol, have most people entered trance CDs then? It seems that way from reading this thread!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

Not sure mate
Thats what it looks like to me too.
I tried to put tunes on my cd that I thought that no-one else would. Theres loads of 'obvious' trance tunes out at the moment that I think will be on alot of people cd's

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

yea originality is the key mate!! Mine doesn't really have any obvious ones on there as such!!
No point bandwagon jumping like a lot of DJs!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Poor...

Agreed!!!

i hope u didnt mix with MP3s for your competition CD, because its illegal.

MP3 and vinyl actually .. and i'm well aware of the law concerning the replication of any music in the UK.
Is it any wonder u havent seena decent online purchasing service for digital music?
