So if I buy a DJ mix from Beatport, do I also get ownership of the individual component tracks? It seems a waste to download a mix, and it is showing you all of the tracks but you don’t get to have the tracks for yourself also. And there is no way in hell someone should be expected to pay for the mix and pay for the tracks. In that case you’re better off listening to the mix for free and buying what you want. I don’t see how this service is going to turn a great profit for anyone, even Beatport.
I did found a mix I absolutely love, but if I don’t get the tracks, I don’t buy the mix.
Well some sites give you the individual track and the mix for your purchase price. I am basically asking if Beatport does that or makes you pay twice essentially.
I was in your shoes and made the mistake of buying a mix, thinking I would get all individual tracks. However, it was an hour long set mixed by a dj including all the tracks. I reported it to beatport that I was under the impression I would receive all individual tracks and received a 25% discount coupon.
Point being, if it says it’s a mix, you’re gonna get a set of all those songs combined.
I usually find the retail DJ mixes uninspiring and a bit of a disappointment.
I like the live ones more. Might be a bit rough round the edges sometimes, but the vibe is better.
I can definitely recommend Bushwacka’s at Shoom reunion a few months ago
All of the “mixes” I have bought off BP included the original tracks. It can be a great way to get a bunch of tracks for cheap since the album price on BP is so much lower than the single. I think some dont include them but it should be pretty obvious. When you click on the cover is there one thing or 15+?
You do not get ownership to the tracks, just the mix itself.. You can break it apart and individually make your own tracks, but those tracks are not originals from the artist, nor are they the full versions. If you want full, mastered edits, you have to buy the songs yourself.
It’s not too obvious for me. When I click the cover, it’s just enlarging the cover.
Now if you mean clicking on it after it pops up in your search field, then it gives me the mix
in the preview window and plays it, not a separate list of songs.
I think your confusing the Beatport Mixes (where users can submit mixes up for sale) with legit compilations like the unmixed versions of DJ Kicks etc..
I have no idea who would actually want to pay for whats basically a demo.
big name artists do put up their version of a remix on there, and i would pay for something like this.
but i guess that’s not the same as a set… i think when you buy a set, you are assuming that’s just it. You bought that set, and not the individually prepped songs. If you buy an album then it depends on the transition, you might get individual songs, or might not…
