I just did a soundcloud search of #fearedmixingcomp and got 500+ results and youtube has 22 pages of correctly tagged entries too at 20 per page.
Looks like there are 1000+entries for this.
How the hell are they going to be able to judge this?
I had a listen to a few and after the first 10 seconds of the first 20 on soundcloud my head was totally fried.
The thought of sitting and listening to even 10 seconds a thousand times would drive me mad like Jack Nicholson in The Shining where he types "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy" on page after page then procedes to go mental.
There are some mixes that really stand out of me at least. But yeah... listen to a song a thousand times in a row and you'll become as depressed as people here in Scandinavia.
THere is already a 10 people jury going through all the contributions as we speak! I've gone through 50-70 already. Of course not listening to the whole track but in like a minute or so checking different parts of the song.
Wow that is a lot!!!! guiness record? the most remixed song of all times?
maybe im getting sentimental, but i feel part of something big
It was cool to recieve messages from people from all around the world commenting on my mix and asking for critisicim, it is nice to know there are a lot of people working passinately on the same music.
The whole competition was great! looking foward for the next one already =)
So the results are out and... I don't mean to disrespect the winners but I was expecting a lot more. The dubstep song was pretty awesome!! But f.ex. Max Morton put out a mix that was way superior to the winning mix. Ofcourse that's a taste issue. Anyone agree with me on this? The winning mix was balanced pretty well although vocals were buried quite a bit. It is definitely pumping like hell. The second place seemed to be a music video. Didn't really care for the music.
