Melbourne Beats Mixathon :: Sign up!

Post by **fooishbar** » Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:01 pm

Hi,
The mixathon will be taking a little breather for the summer; November's somewhat gone, and December is Christmas and stuff. (Plus, we're kind of slack.)

If you think that, given a full month's notice, you can pull a mix out, dump your name here or PM myself or system. Come late December, we'll pull a name out of a hat in a brandy and marzipan-induced stupor, and start the cycle. Get in there -- the more varied, the better. Hopefully we'll be rolling with something different every month. Honest.

Don't worry about hosting or anything like that. As long as you can bang out a mix and get it to us by the last week of the month, it's all good.

whar about nominations for peeps we'd like to hear a mix from. this is how it use to be done. no?

a1studmuffin · Post by **a1studmuffin** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 1:29 pm

Yeah, didn't it used to be that if you got voted for 5 times, you had 5 "lottery tickets" so to speak for winning the next mixathon?

Nah it never worked like that.

Not according to the original thread... or maybe I'm reading it wrong, I thought the final list would look something like

Person 1
Person 1
Person 1
Person 1
Person 1
Person 2
Person 2
Person 2
Person 3
Person 4
Person 5
etc.

Then a random number would pick one of those slots. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong.

i say everybody makes a mix, and the person who draws the short straw goes for the world record dj set mixing them all together. It's only 3 days or something, some people on here do 5, 6 easy.

Yeah you are reading it wrong. I think the number of votes only ordered the list, didn't give more "chances".

a1studmuffin · Post by **a1studmuffin** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:51 am

Ah yeah... seems unnecessarily complicated lynt!

May as well just sort them alphanumerically and pick a random number.

Post by **fooishbar** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 11:59 am

we'll have a think about how it runs during january, but at the moment, we've just got a bunch of names from this thread and pm, and in the next few days, we're just going to pick a random name out of the hat, and ask them to do a mix. if they can't, then we'll do another random number, and ask the next person, and so on. so if you want to put your name in, you've only got a couple of days.

we'll announce this person as soon as they confirm, and they'll (hopefully) put the mix up on feb 1st, for your enjoyment until the next mix lands on march 1st.

question......

I like this concept - always have, it's great.

but.....

if I move to Sydney, does that make me ineligible to nominate myself for a MELBOURNEbeats.com mixathon?

nope.

sick

nominating

I haven't recorded a mix for about 2 years, but heck, it's about time I did

Stray · Post by **Stray** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 1:52 pm

If you pick a name of someone who has already done a mix what are you going to do?

good question, actually.

at the moment, there are only two of those, though.

Really?! I thought there'd be more than 2.

Nope. Just you and karl are greedy.

kronz · Post by **kronz** » Wed Dec 19, 2007 4:00 pm

I'll do one even though i cant mix.

Will a string of tracks burnt onto a CD with track marks do?

marcus · Post by **marcus** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 9:42 am

Put me down.

FunkyJ · Post by **FunkyJ** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 11:05 am

Put me down please.

Although I'm not sure how I'm going to record it... but I'll get over that hurdle if and when I reach it.
