I frequent another site called DNBArena, (breakbeat.co.uk) and came across this thread...
http://forum.breakbeat.co.uk/tm.aspx?m=1970974348
To sum up what the thread is about,
A 15 year old kid got into mixing a few months ago and had made a mix to share with the rest of the forum members, hoping for some feedback on his mixing technique, selection etc... He even went on to list his playlist.
In that playlist he had listed a 'dubplate' (read it on the thread, you'll understand better what a dubplate is) ... now, what I didnt realize (because I was seeing it from this kid's point of view) where he was just doing this for fun, and practicing, he got flamed for this...really hard.
Basically, most of the forum members believe (to which I agree to some point) is to pay for your tracks before posting a mix on the internet.
and it goes on...and on... you'll even see my post where I ask what a 'belland' is.... haha, how should I know what that is.. I'm Canadian....eh?!
anyways..
what do you think about this? I personally feel that if you're gonna take DJ'ing seriously or even as a career approach.. you should pay for your tracks, just to show support to the artists and the music you love. There are people out there that would disagree with me, but whatever, that's just how I feel about it. I have the peace of mind that when I play out live, my tracks are tagged properly and at the highest quality format..and also now my property
