Quality is fine.

Also you can get one from anywhere.

Dick smith, jay car, harvey norman, even a '2 dollar' style shop. Anywhere that sells TV or Audio equipment

ill get onto it tomorrow then

thanks

Can you please advise me Mitch on proper mac settings once cord is plugged into record out on mixer ? Plug aux into mic slot? Do I need to Download audacity or something?

[Mitch]

Do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3625

Then yer you need a program to record with - audacity will do.

In audacity next to the little microphone symbol make sure you choose your built in line in instead of built in mic, then you should be right

ok. am i better off recording it in ableton?

[Mitch]

Won't make a difference. Main thing is just to make sure you aren't clipping the recording

[Kodiak]

Any chance people can make their mixes downloadable? I really really really hate listening to Soundcloud 128kbps streams. The downloads are (usually) the full 320kbps file.

I know when I listen to my own the EQing, especially for the bass sounds off when not hearing the full quality. Can I suggest anyone judging download them too for accurate assessment.

[Cupe]

There isn't judges for this comp, it goes on votes

ok two things..followed guide

but the line in option doesnt come up. i only have internal mic option...cant change it in audacity either. its like mac is not registering the cable connected too it

i tried with both record out and master out on mixer and get nothing

This needs its own thread ^

[AlexJ]

This needs its own thread ^

sorry. soon as we resolve this you can clean up thread and i will make new thread giving overview of the problem and the solution so it comes up if ever searched again

[Cupe]

Yea I'm not gonna do all those things

[AlexJ]

from what im reading, its just something that has changed in the new mac range... from reports the only way around it is an external soundcard. which more or less fucks me over for this comp...

Totally agree, i learnt so much about using my PadKontrol with abelton and fx it was an invaluablue experience and a heap of fun:)

my mix prob wasn't exactly what i'd planned but all live using cdjs, DJM700 and Padkontrol to trigger samples of acapellas through abelton:) hope u enjoy!!

Track is not available SnatchMD

[SnatchMD]

i know it keeps pulling it down for copyright, have tried silence at start and still did it so now just trying my snatchmd sample at start to see if that will get it past... so frustrating!!

[SnatchMD]

i think its fixed... hope the snatchmd sample i had to put at the start doesn't knock me out of contention....

Who's Code of Silence? Cupe have you received a link to their mix? They have done one but unsure who they are? They commented on mine with a link to their mix. Pretty good from what I have heard so far.

Fuck it... I'll just link it here.

Having a bit of a listen through them. Interesting hearing how different people can attack the same list of songs. In particular the Claptone song stands out to me as it is more of a traditional House song compared to the others which are more Progressive.

[AlexJ]

Well since i couldnt submit due to recording issues and in response to DrC1's comment i thought i would post my tracklist

Vertigo --> location of part of Bring out the devil acca. Started mix from main buildup/breakdown midway through track

D# Fat---> location of sun and moon acca during build up following main breakdown

Mammoth

Ten

Rasputin

Chasing Summers

Summertime Sadness

No eyes

I seem to be the only person who finished with no eyes..lol although it was always going to be at the beginning or the end

Shame really, i did put a buttload of effort into getting tracks organised, catalogued, and labelled..lol

anyway. congrats too all those who submitted and may the best mix win!

[Tosh1R]

Have turned on downloads for my mix

[Cupe]

The people who are spamming their mixes on facebook have emailed me the links already

All good.

Alex, work your issue out today and submit it

YSM practically did too before going back into the outro of one of the other songs. Also dropped a Lana Del Ray sample over it the cheeky bugger.
