DJTT Mix competition - Whos got the balls?

[mwn11]

Yes thats what i get from Jojo's post. Are people to say how they created them?

[Timbo21]

Surely no one is going to add stuff using Digital Workstations?

Yes, it should be live in one take.

I see very little point in adding stuff in Garage Band or Logic. That's not Djing is it.

Since it will be anonymous you can't really say what you used can you?

Limits the people that haven't got the capability to do that. Im guessing most people on here will have a mixer/2 decks or controller and be expecting that what the competition will involve as thats what would be expected if you were to play in front of a crowd. Where as to be able to go through meticulously with software such as ableton adds another aspect, and personally i would call it more of a production than djing/mixing or whatever you call it, as the process would be closer to that of producing a song.

No one mentioned a crowd. Mixtapes are not listened to by crowds. If you want a dj competition with a crowd, then someone needs to organise a live event competition. Its a mixtape competition. You can buy a simple controller such as a launchpad that comes with ableton light for the same price as some traktor options.

But you're planning to open Live, pick track and do a mixtape of them in the arrangement view ? Kind of producing a giant 30 mins mashup.

If so, that's pointless because :

1) We're all DJ, and some of us don't own/can't master well enough a DAW
2) Since nothing is done live and recorded, your mix will be more subtle and technical than ANYTHING that could EVER be done live

This will just ruin the competition, no one can compete with that quality wise.

im still wondering how it can be determined if someone did a live one take mix or if it was done in numerous takes?

Instead of a mixtape competition, how about a competition to see how many pages we can make this thread go to?
