Kodiak Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Mix cloud it is. Not too sure if i would of uploaded this one, but for the purpose of this topic... here it is. Let me know what you think. http://www.mixcloud.com/dionpearson77/beached/Y U No Use Mixcloud tags?edit: I find mixcloud buggy, although useful for reasons already mentioned. Plus free and no time limits. The song timestamps are cool idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREMM1S Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 there are ways round it.but basically:soundcloud is for sounds you mademixcloud is for mixes you madeNot really, majority of people still put their mixes on soundcloud. Heaps of people including myself wont touch mixcloud because how damn slow it is, i find it literally almost impossible to listen to a mix on it.

overit Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 aye, mixcloud is slow and buggy, and you cant download from it.Souncloud gets in the shit with the licensing authorities coz everyone keeps uploading copyright material then making it available for download, just coz it's in a DJ mix. It is not designed for that, just used that way by the "majority" as you say.Hence why Soundcloud users often whinge about copyright and having to alter their mixes, but still say it is better than mixcloud.You makes yer choice.I just wanted to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxyKon Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The blocking is part of the copyright, you need to make sure you have creative commons and non commercial selected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The blocking is part of the copyright, you need to make sure you have creative commons and non commercial selectedThat alone does not do it though. I have tried both with the same mix and both were rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overit Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Mix cloud it is. Not too sure if i would of uploaded this one, but for the purpose of this topic... here it is. Let me know what you think. http://www.mixcloud.com/dionpearson77/beached/so anyway, back to OP... I had a listen:Nice flow, very old skool sounding tracks at the start. Reminded me of orbital DJ mixes. You lost me at the Take That remix but thats just my personal taste and not really relevant to your skills... which were:fine mate Smooth choice of place to mix the first two tracks in the break, nice flow throughout which was respectful to the structure of each song. I guess one of the points you were concerned about was that mix at about 25 min in? The hihats did wobble a little and that can be tricky but easily sorted with a gentle filter or just turning down the treble/top until you want to swap over which is the most prominent. The kick drums got nice and crunchy and that's the way I kinda like it. proves it was made by a human, sounds edgy, but doesnt go "wrong." I wouldnt want every mix to sound like that but it adds a real energy to the vibe.Enjoyed the ending too. Nice reprise of the "paradise" theme and showed you are aware of topping and tailing your work/ not just fading out like a crap pop song.am following you on mixcloud now buddy, I am djim bluefoot on that site.

Mitch Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 it is possible to make a site like that but the initial config would be a decent amount of work to script it all, and too expensive to run out of own pocket : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the info about the filters, I will definitely give that a go. In hindsight, I should have put an echo on the last paradise sample so it didn't sound so out of place, but woulda, coulda, shoulda. too late now. haha Really appreciate your comments and the follow on mix cloud. I'll return the favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
