Make A Collab Mixtape Vol. ???

Dj K.Smith 7:29 PM - 13 May, 2009
Seeing my boy Audio 1 and Dj CQ do it reminded me of when we picked out tracks to make a mix from (scratchlive.net )...

Well now, I'm kinda feeling like collabing with someone. Seeing how our styles would mesh together would be kinda dope... Anybody interested in making a mix? If we have a few people who are down then what can do is team up with someone (just 2 peeps per group) and see what we come up within a certain amount of alloted time (no more than like 15 minutes...)

Let me know your thoughts...
DVDjHardy 7:33 PM - 13 May, 2009
Let's do it Smizzle! I like the whole live remix thing that you were doing it at the Jam. Let's roll with it! :)
Dj-M.Bezzle 7:33 PM - 13 May, 2009
sounds fun
Dj K.Smith 10:12 PM - 13 May, 2009
We need some more interest fellas... Steer some dudes over this way because the older threads were really fun. Besides, this makes me practice more than I have been lately...
DVDjHardy 10:14 PM - 13 May, 2009
How many peeps are you lookin for?
Dj K.Smith 10:15 PM - 13 May, 2009
At least 10 of us to make some noise... Then others will see it and may wanna join in for round 2...
DVDjHardy 10:20 PM - 13 May, 2009
I think that higher the #, the tougher it gets to finish a mix...b/c people (like me) are slackers!
SiRocket 10:25 PM - 13 May, 2009
*tracks discussion*
DJ d.range 10:37 PM - 13 May, 2009
exactly what do you have in mind, 10 DJ's 3 tracks each?
stevie o 10:58 PM - 13 May, 2009
D range lets hit em up (no tupac) New York style ( no slam mix)
DJ d.range 11:20 PM - 13 May, 2009
whatchu mean ny style(no slam mix) thats an oxymoron, but i'd be happy to throw downn without slamming =p
eder 12:14 AM - 14 May, 2009

Turn Table Tennis 1:28 AM - 14 May, 2009

Who wants to do this? I'm gonna go home and bang out a 7-8 min quick mix of something and send it over. Holler!
stevie o 1:34 PM - 14 May, 2009
Wait,..... so one dj does a 7.5 min mix and the other takes over? Why don't we just do a ping pong mix. I thought it was 2 djs mixing in and out of each other. (no homo if necessary).
DVDjHardy 1:39 PM - 14 May, 2009
That shit would take forever, but I think its up to the 2 DJs who decide to collab.
Dj K.Smith 2:31 PM - 14 May, 2009
Exactly Hardy. However you and your other dj wanna collab is up to you... If you do the 1st half then he does the 2nd... If you go 2 songs then switch, it's how creative you wanna be... That's all... Just fun (no sixxx) for those who wish to do something like this... Hardy I'm down man, let's do this and see what we come up with...
Dj Shamann 2:37 PM - 14 May, 2009

there really dosent need to be any editing, just have person A rock their set then play their set as if it were 1 track in internal mode then mix into the end......or mix yours and mix into theirs and just let it record

It may be kinda quiet..typically I don't do drops so I mixed the tape without one then when I was listening to it I realised it flowed together REALLY well...well enough where you couldn't really there was 2 djs besides the subtle change in style so I recorded a drop really quick then played the entire tape back into soundforge through scratchlive and used the sampler to put my drop in...when I ran it back through soundforge I think I had the gain down a little low....I still have the original dropless mix if its realy bad (I didn't even listen to it afterward I was trying to get it posted before work)....I know the rules say no post production and 1 time through but I didn't think adding a drop would be a big sdeal as long as the mix is still the live 1 take original

Sorry I didn't get my mix in, the last couple of weeks have been busy as hell and seeing as my partner is not an internet type of collaborator, I couldn't make it to his end of the city and we couldn't make the deadline. I could've did it myself and slapped both our names on it but then I'm only cheating a good idea.
