it's about that time again: BOARD MIX TRADE!

[xfer]

stultus, youre so patriarchicly lyricentrist.

 

[goatschool]

is it too late to get in on dis?

 

[xfer]

no, i won't set up the circle 'til the end of this week!

 

[Stultus]

xfer, music-wise, what I believe to be a coherent connection between two different tracks might seem completely bizzare to someone else. But it works really nice if people actually put though into their selection in regards to audial connections.

Also, the word, "patriarch" does not have an adverb form.

true...the last mix trade, jake put all the songs on my mix in alphabetical order. i asked him if that's the order his burner software put them in but he said it was carefully selected that way. so that's one pretty unintrusive way to add design to a mix; i do think it's most important to arrange songs so they flow in interesting ways, though.

 

[minxnim]

okay this just got all complicated. i thought it was just a mixed tape kinda thing.

 

[Stultus]

On this subject, what software do you guys suggest I use to polish my mix? (ie: fade-into's etc.)

I think they're thinking too much, or have too much time on their hands. :hotjump:

avi is the King of Cross-Fades.

i would say that, since this mix trade is going to be our first real big one (hopefully)(i think the last one, only 4 or 5 actual mixes ended up trading hands), let's not go with a unified theme right now. HOWEVER you are welcomed and encouraged to do something cool if you so desire. i think i am going to.

 

[minxnim]

i'm like... wait... you guys lost me....

 

[goatschool]

there will be no fancy on mine, but whoever gets it will recieve three tracks from the only band i've ever been in.

 

[avi]

I've used Cakewalk Pyro for mixing before, but I just got Acoustica's mp3 mixing software and it's nicer in some ways. Pyro is more powerful, but sluggish and harder to use.

NICK I WANT THAT ONE

holy shit the circle setup is going to be killer on this.

can i ask that, if possible, you make extra copies of your mixes to send to people you want to have them, rather than EVERYONE requesting specific partners?

 

[avi]

prep- if you don't feel up to doing anything fancy, then don't. it's not a competition.

 

[goatschool]

i'm too lazy to read the whole thread - CDs are acceptable?

 

[FrostGiant]

Everything's a competition.

 

[xfer]

CDs are, in fact, the standard here, unless you and your assigned receiver agree on a tape or minidisc or whatever.

 

[minxnim]

tape cd you know what i meant.

i wish i had a burner... i really had fun doing alex's mix
