I'm not up on how live sounding Ableton and that can be, but ain't it gonna be fairly obvious if it's done on decks or some digital thing. Platter stops, platter touches, pull backs, (in my case dodgy beat matching) and alike?

I know people now days who have no mixing skills (no ear for it) but can put some mp3s on a grid. I wonder how judges will determine if this person can actually play live or if they ever have...

Well the quote answered your question.
You can hear if it's been done on vinyl or cdj's as opposed to ableton.
And we can always ask people what they did the mix on, but it should be fairly obvious.

It doesn't really matter though, I've lined up a perfect mix on ableton a number of times and just thrown some fx and slicing over the top and people have loved it. That actually takes more skill and effort because it has to be perfect, I've spent ages (as in, weeks) on getting a perfect mix for nights I'm playing at.
Some people have a problem with that kinda thing but I don't.

However I'm sure people won't be sad enough to lie about how they did their mix, because I would need to know in terms of what equipment to hire in anyways.

Don't sweat it too much serox, its our (minor) headache, not yours.

Can I submit two mixes?

One on vinyl and one on Ableton?

Whichever you would actually use live, submit that.

right now i hate the fact that i live in north america...

+1



i did my mix with a mouse and only a mouse because none of the dubs were on vinyl and i havent got time coded schenanigans on the go.

knowing how judgmental everyone on DSF is, I would shit myself and run a mile before getting behind the decks in front of you lot!

but i live next to Reading so will probably reach all the same

Submitted.

Hope there's a fuck off sound system in there!

Couple side-notes - would probably play some punchier stuff if I was playing out, but that's the gist of it. Bit rushed trying to get 5 tracks into 10 minutes. Also, ignore the scratching - it's shit and I was just having a laugh.

Tracklist:



1. Gumnaam - Meera Stringz
2. Pinch - Chamber Dub
3. Goth-Trad - Sunbeam
4. Tech-Itch - Ba'alzamon
5. Juju - Punks

And DJ Rectangle - Ultimate Battle Weapon for the shitty scratching.

Crossing my digits!

I'm sure we're all much less of a bunch of sarcastic assholes IRL

I was going to enter, but I think you lot would just stand around, chucking alpacas at me.

You have no fathoming of the number of alpacas I have ready for this event.

Liek srsly loads.

so, what is happening with this then?

The entries are in and as soon as I've got my shit together (I've been ill recently) I will post another thread on the board along with PM's to the people who have won.

Cool. Imma lock this one off, gimme a shout when the new thread rolls around for the sticky.
