Calling for Deep House battle. Hoping that you aren't "pro" dj. I'm nearly a rookie (8months behind). I use cdj's but controllers are welcome but no SYNC or autogains. Waveforms are ok because you watch them anyway ;)
40-50mins so we can make good athmosphere. I think that under 30mins is too little for Deep House. And no editing after record. Do it "Live".
Id like the entry deadline to be next wednesday (1/30/13)

I'll play.

I use turntables with Traktor and a Kontrol X1.

No sync.

40 minutes.

Sound good?

I'm so gonna lose this one... But okay. Last song should start on about 40min mark. Anyone else?

I will give this a go too. Been listening to a few Deep House sort of tracks recently, and have been fancying a Deep House mix for a couple of weeks or so.

1210's running Traktor Scratch for me too, so no sync.

I have already entered another battle that I'm losing badly anyway, so might as well lose a Deep House one too.

Do you guys want to do a one-take pledge?

Well, mine will be done in one take - I don't have the patience to do a mix twice.

What say you guys? It's completely honor system. If you don't want to do one-take, that is fine.

This will also help get the mixes in sooner.

Yeah. I too don't have the patience for re-doing a mix. One of my mixcloud mixes even has me lifting the record off the wrong deck, cutting the music completely, before realising I'd fucked it and put it back down.

Saying that, my last mixcloud mix was re-done, but only because the whole mix was clipping so bad it was un-listenable.

Yes. I'll do it in one shot. Will probably do it tonight or tomorrow too, so will be in quick.

Fits to me. I also don't like to do mixes twice. If i fuck up one transition and try to fix it by making a mix again i probably fuck some other transition instead.
I try to put my trainwrecks on tape tonight without big preparations. Go with the flow i think with this one:music:

Cool deal guys. I probably won't have a chance to do it until Saturday - but will get it done before the end of the weekend for sure.

If I had more deep tracks, I'd so be in.

Terve Difficult.

What's wrong with the new one?

Well, my best Deep House is on vinyl. I dont have room to set up turntables anymore and have to use controllers.. Ie: Sync. Whats to stop me from just typing in a BPM etc?

Id love to have a crack at it, but when you say No Sync to me thats No Mp3, at all. Which means vinyl and Cd. Which means, no room unfortunately. Unless I can submit one I made a few years ago before I had Traktor and shit? I'd be happy to do that. Got no idea of the play list tho

What's the deal with this battle? Posted my mix last weekend. Did it ever arrive to America?

I will do it this weekend. I've just not had any motivation to spin lately. I thought signing up for the battle would give me the ganas - but not so much...I'll force one through though.

Daaaam! I try to upload it again tomorrow. Hope that my mix isn't as bad as my skills with computers :lol:

I recorded my mix this weekend.

I had intended to bring it in to work to upload - but I didn't.

But at least it is done. I'll get it uploaded tonight after work. If not, I will claim the loss!

I wouldn't mint a few extra minutes but posting a link to you mix just revealed to the people who's mix is it and mixes should be anonymous until voting is ended.
Waiting to hear your mixes Ben & xs2man.
