  • Mix Club - The Remedial Class

bosstrabs With careful planning, anyone could probably get through 14-16 hours of new music a week just going about their normal week?

It’s more finding tunes that mix together well, and that takes experimentation, not just listening back to tracks. Think of all your fave prog transitions, they aren’t happy accidents.

    Fair enough, you dj I don’t.

    But my starting point would be sifting the new releases to look for any new MUSCULAR PROG BANGERS.

      Sounds like a boss plan, sure it can be resurrected when we’re out of this shite.

      Hope you had a great Birthday and the practice went well.

      Will miss you when you graduate from remedial class ✊

        Anyine recommend a good wav to mp3 converter.

        Had a look earlier and found loads online, where you upload and convert.

        Would prefer sw on my mac to do it

          Whilst we are on such a subject… other than mp3s, which other formats allow you to add artwork? I know I have asked this before. Sorry.

            Mad_Cyril i bought wavepad which is fine for a bit of rudimentary editing and conversion.

              Amps …AIFF, hence why they are preferable to WAV’s for me

                  I buy most of my music off Bandcamp these days . I always download the Wav file but if I want the MP3 file I download that as well.

                      Rekordbox is recording my mixes in .wav format, so a bit too large to move around

                          Dubman That’s what I use. Probably better stuff out there, but for the amount I use it, it’s a decent free option.

                            Played for 4 hours last night, mostly new music, and listened to recording today. A very humbling experience. Key clashes all over the place, no clue of any flow. The moment you think you’re good you’re not. Over confidence is a bad thing too.

                              Homegrove i wd not be too hard on yourself! the flow if it ever comes (hardly ever for me) comes from knowing your records really well and having an instinct for what will work - rarely happens when working with a lot of new tracks - still what do i know - you are miles better than me!!!! i would totally shit myself playing on strange equipment to any actual humans!!!!!

                                Wasn’t being too hard on myself, more happy. Keeps me focused knowing I still can’t half ass this after 19 years.
