The guy who started this with me [NOIZE] isnt a forum member, but he will be in it. Im doing things the way I am to avoid any bias, and so that we don’t all vote for our favorite forum member.
nope. it means now is the time to start submitting stuff.
the other stuff was just planning for rules and to gauge interest since last time we only had 4 people or so.
Sorry ma peoples, doesn’t look like I’m gna be able to participate this time.
I finally sat down and set tonight aside to do it, and jammed for a bit to get in the groove. I discovered my midifighter wasn’t working, which isn’t ideal (probably need to reflash the new firmware), but I forged on regardless. I set aside a playlist folder, put a few tunes in there, mixed them up a bit and worked out a semblance of an order, then got going. Hit that record button, press play. A couple of fuckups later, I’m about 10 minutes in and it’s going well. Some nice tracks in there, and pretty well mixed though I say so myself.
Then WHAM. Traktor crashes. That’s NEVER happened to me before. I’ve had glitches sure, but this was the full on error message Traktor quit unexpectedly shabang. Fuck, I think to myself.
But no, I decide, I have said I’ll do this mix so I will. Load up traktor again, of course it’s dumped the mix it was recording, and the playlist I created, but never mind. Off I go again from scratch. First track is playing, just cueing the second, then all hell breaks loose. I’m getting screen freezes, Audio glitches, audio basically micro looping, and all I can do is force quit.
So, dear readers, the point I am coming to. I am sorry to say that I shall not be taking part in this particular dubstep competition, for one reason and one reason only. Traktor 2.0.2 being unstable as hell. Good luck to everyone participating.
