Techno/Tech House Mixtrain - Train2!

[kooper1980]

Ok so this is the official thread for train 2. 4 dj's, 30 mins each, you know the deal.

Order as follows:

1. bumtsch
2. darryljames
3. Me
4. haze324

Do we need a soundcloud account or will Mega Upload be good enough?

Same time scales apply as train 1: 5 days to complete your mix!! Let's not let this train drag on!!!

Good luck. Over to you Bumsch!

Well, two trains again ? That's a surprise - NOT!
Starting work on this one as of... today. I'll try being less housey and more technoey than last time.

[haze324]

count me in. How are we passing the train? Dropbox?

[kooper1980]

Drop box sounds good. Let's post our tracklists on this thread too.

Skills, I got technoey tech house coming out all over!

[darryljames]

right, I got dropbox installed, seems better than mixcloud as capacity is 2Gb What's the standard for passing the mix on, do we mix it in wav, bounce it to 320kbps mp3 and then pass it on or does it do the whole round as wav?

First mixtrain for me, you might have noticed!

[photojojo]

best results seem to be wav or flac and the last DJ converts the whole thing to 320 when he's done.

[haze324]

^ got it. Been working on my "mastering" skills too. Will convert full mix.

Also, I'll post my tracklist depending on what you guys play and were the mix goes by the time it gets to me.

[kooper1980]

Yeah wav for me all the way. You ok with mastering the completed mix then Haze? My mastering skills are below par.

[haze324]

Yep. Been working on those skills as they are pretty new to me, but at a minimum I'm good enough to run it thru a preset that will normalize the final product
