Master of the Mix season 3 Posted on: 01.04.2013 by Nevada Edgette First two seasons were on BET, now VH1 has picked it up for the third season. Anyone else besides me looking forward to watching this tomorrow? http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/887632...xrs=share_copy
Meaghan Machold 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by balakoth Because its not a FREAKING SCRATCH BATTLE.. these are club Djs.. trying ot get their name out there to be BIGGER CLUB DJs.. This is not a Competition to see who can tear up a piece of plastic faster. Like I said, I heard this crap in a club I went to, Id pee all over the flyer and take my money back. Or give their beer back.. If you know what i Mean i wouldnt go this far. ur so far to one side that youre starting to sound just as ignorant as someone saying "You need to scratch as a DJ". If you believe all scratching is bad, you need to look up some Shiftee or A-Trak...

It also happens to be a 3 minute DJ competition, and scratching happens to be a DJ skill that has proven to be really effective in DJ competitions with short time limits. Yes they're club DJs, but this isn't a club where they're playing a long set and trying to rock a crowd... it's a 3 minute set where they're trying to impress judges.
Shawn Vanhaitsma 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by HighTopFade The feedback from the judges is pretty insightful. What feedback is that.. One Judge female who DJ's "fashion shows" seems to love this awful ass 20 seconds of chirp our way into the next one, slamming faders cutting into the next song with no transition.. saying thats the kinda DJs she goes and sees. Why exactly do I care about a fashion show DJs opinion.. Kid Capri? Hes bias, all he wants is solid scratching.. period. If you use effects and twist knobs.. he "Doesnt know what you are doing" Then you got the record exec. He may be able to tell us what kind of track is going to sell. But I could give a rats ass about a pompus record execs opinion of a DJ. 1 Minute auditions are retarded, and of course its the best way to weed out non open format, non scratch, DJs. They had a 1000 DJs Apply and audition, How many of those DJs work the same venue on different evening s.. I cant imaginet he abundance of CLubs out there that still have a set of technics sitting around for Serato DJs to use... This show is great for the bedroom DJ, who wants to be the next top pop 40, I spin for jersey shores style over the top 300 bucks a table high roller pompus pricks who go to the club to get wasted not listen to music. The thing that is already overrunning DC.. I miss my Techno/House
Shawn Vanhaitsma 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by Vekked Damn why are some of you guys so mad about the scratching? It's a 3 minute round, I mean scratching isn't the only option but the fact that there's over 30 years of competition history where scratching has dominated and been refined in pretty much the same format gives it a huge advantage. Not saying scratching is better than any other type of DJing or any of that, but in this format it pretty much is.

Shawn Vanhaitsma 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by djmetalgear So you're telling us NOT to post our opinions... on a community ... in a thread about the show... on a site about DJing?? Please sir, tell me where you would like us to discuss such matters, cause I dont believe we're bitching, we're discussing a show about DJs. Probably the same place, the internet moderating police should go.. back to whatever piss hole they came from, so they can never question anything and stay stagnant like country music the last three decades (LOL)

Fannie Ohayre 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by VanGogo ...Besides the lack of controllerists, (and the one controllerist they did choose using an iPad) I find it a bit strange that the club standard CDJ's isn't used at all... In season one DJ Rap used CDJs. Unfortunately she was eliminated during the scratch competition.
Nelida Ghouse 10.04.2013	Originally Posted by VanGogo Not mad about the scratching here. Even though some were excessive with it. It's impossible to tell if anyone was excessive with anything considering it's 20 second clips of 3 min sets. Overall yea they seemed to take clips of ppl cutting between transitions more than anything. Some pretty awful cuts were getting props from the judges too :S. My main problem is how close minded Kid Capri was about the iPad guy before he even heard the guy play. yea, I dunno, it's a tough issue. On one hand it's closed minded to discount certain gear just because it's not what you use, but at the same time if he legitimately believes it's an inferior medium and limits DJs I'm not sure I can fault him, especially in the context of a (supposedly) high level DJ competition. Like how many awful DJs do you have to hear on Gemini turntables until you conclude they're not sufficient to become a great DJ and that if someone shows up with them they're not gonna cut it? I believe there are a bunch of different options for becoming an amazing DJ but I don't believe that means every option is fine and equal to every other option, in every situation.

I actually had time to watch the episode b/c i'm working evening audit at a hotel toevening BUT It wasn't as bad as all the comments on this board make it out to be...i'd like to see I-DEE's full set though...it is interesting that they stopped him and sent him home right away
Charline Dye 10.04.2013	Not mad about the scratching here. Even though some were excessive with it. My main problem is how close minded Kid Capri was about the iPad guy before he even heard the guy play. Not to mention some of the other DJ's (and it wasn't the better DJ's either). I realize it is just a TV show with some producer/director who cares only about ratings and making Smirnoff happy, so I'm not really upset about the show or anyone on it. It is what it is. Discussing the show with other DJs can be entertaining though.
Rena Estabrook 10.04.2013	The feedback from the judges is pretty insightful.

Federico Vilas 09.04.2013	Originally Posted by balakoth What even post on the community s then. Hateful? Did you even watch the show? I believe its hateful how they are making DJs out to be. And how bias and one dimensional they seem to be promoting the art. Sorry, we'll all go sit in our Bedrooms, STudios, boxes, "lab" and completely disregard whats going on in the music scene around us. I mean if you dont know whats going on, it cant affect you right?

Charline Dye 09.04.2013	Should have added to "the advert is fantastic" provided you don't choke.
Meaghan Machold 09.04.2013	Originally Posted by VanGogo We can all complain about the many short comings this show has, but at least there is a DJ competition show. For those that are in the show, the national advertising they recieve as DJ's is fantastic. Ehh some of the DJs on there are so terrible that if I ever see their name on a flier, I'd laugh/ never go. There's only a few DJs up there that are actually legit. The rest are AWFUL

Besides the lack of controllerists, (and the one controllerist they did choose using an iPad) I find it a bit strange that the club standard CDJ's isn't used at all. If the competition is just for Serato DVS users (and vinyl users), which it seems to be, why even include the guy with the iPad? Is it just so Kid Capri can have something to poop on? Or was he the only controllerist using Serato they had to choose from? From what they showed of the iPad set I wasn't impressed, but hard to tell what it was really like with the editing. What I did find funny is Kid Capri didn't even know he played the requied songs. It looked like he stopped listening the minute the guy started. I propose a new show title "Master of the Serato DVS or Vinyl Scratch Mix"
Asuncion Ylvisaker 09.04.2013	This is one of my favorite show...enjoy it ...
Shawn Vanhaitsma 09.04.2013	Originally Posted by djmetalgear Had a pretty lengthy back and forth with Kid Capri (one of the Judges). Looks like I struck a chord with him this past weekend.... https://twitter.com/MetalGearrr/stat...96451744948226 NOTE: When I say "old DJ Dinosaurs".. im not talking about Age.. more so the mentality. hope no one really takes offense to this as alot of DJTT old school DJs are actually very progressive and are down with change. Pure gold sir He even types like he talks, it's hilarious. I tweeted something today out of annoyance :/ "Well the first 2 episodes were interesting. But you couldn't pay me to watch that crap again. Go back 1995 where you belong"

Shawn Vanhaitsma 09.04.2013	Originally Posted by fokaisnake Not sure how I feel about DJ Varja quitting. Nobody really cares about the title, but walking away from a chance to win $250K? He could've easily made it to the final 3. BTW, DJ Craze was in the crowd in this ep! I praise him, saving face, reputation and name from being associated with that reality tv crap fest. Retarded show, retarded judges, bias'd ignorant outlook... Stuck up competitors, snobby ass rejects who believe you are only DJ is you scratch the crap out of a piece of vinyl to make peoples ears bleed. Stopped watching 30 minutes in and wont finish the season. Pure crap.

Marchelle Borghese 08.04.2013	Failed to watch the first ep. Do you guys know where I can download or watch it?
Rochel Papillion 06.04.2013	they have the full 1st episode online. http://www.vh1.com/video/master-of-t...playlist.jhtml not really understanding what happened so waiting for next week
Charline Dye 03.04.2013	Here's an older video of one of the better DJ's on the show. This was right after the S4 was released I believe.
Shawn Vanhaitsma 03.04.2013	Yep just watched several more videos on their site... all scratching.. Oh well to each their own.
Shawn Vanhaitsma 03.04.2013	Originally Posted by DJ Mattik I believe we may be confused on something here... DMC champions = Disco Mix Club Champions Master of the Mix Winner Mix Mix So again, if a world champion gets booted along with another USA champion, what credibility does the show have? Yep I must be confused... because all DMC Competitions I have seen are scratch battles.... Which I wouldnt go to see in a club to save my life

Shawn Vanhaitsma 03.04.2013	Originally Posted by DJ Mattik Well from I-Dee's twitter... "Obviously from my facial expression and head shakes, something wasn't "right" and it didn't involve myself or the judges." So this leaves... the gear , previous DJ (coming on after another DJ sometimes things are off), or the show's producers have something to do with it. Not a good sign at all for how the rest of the show will be. If Chris Karns gets kicked off... I'm done with the show. What credibility does your show have if you kick off two DMC champs? I dunno because its called master of the mix.. not master of the make my head hurt with 30 minutes of scratching?

Shawn Vanhaitsma 03.04.2013	Originally Posted by fokaisnake True. Those judges did I-Dee wrong. It was dirty how they instantly cut him due to what I feel was gear error. Besides Kid I have never heard of the other two judges. While I somewhat agree.. part of being a solid DJ is having you gear that works... if it truely was gear .. It was his Laptop, which he was in control of, every other DJ That came up before and after him had no issues. So either he just locked up and couldnt beat match that first song, or he fubard his Laptop before the show? Who knows I wont be watching the rest of it anyways. Scratching gives me a headache.. and thats apparently all this is going to be. Not actually blending and layering music, but how well you can chirp, crab and whatever else your way to 250k...
Nevada Edgette 03.04.2013	Originally Posted by DJ Mattik The fact that some of the contestants have more DJing accolades than the judges makes the show laughable at best. Feel bad for I- Dee, he's better than any of the judges and a majority of the contestants who made it into the 2nd round. It's kind of like Season 1 when DJ Revolution was easily the most skilled DJ on the show but got the shaft early on. True. Those judges did I-Dee wrong. It was dirty how they instantly cut him due to what I feel was gear error. Besides Kid I have never heard of the other two judges.
Shawn Vanhaitsma 02.04.2013	Originally Posted by MyUsername If it's anything like Belgium's My Set Rules it's awesome. Much of the videos are blocked in my country though and I only found turntable routines, are they all like that ? Its nothing like that Video. Well Episode one isnt.. Episode two will have longer sets with people to perform for. Episode one was 1 minute auditions. Everyone using Serato and their own Laptop with two timecode vinyls (Sorry dont know what they call it in Serato) The episode focused ALOT more on scratching. Actually purely on scratching.

It's kind of like Season 1 when DJ Revolution was easily the most skilled DJ on the show but got the shaft early on. So heres my issue. I didn't care for the 1 minute audition. It left it up to ONLY those who were better with the timecode style vinyl scratching and laptop macro keys. The second round apparently has them spinning for people, for a longer period of time in smaller groupings each episode. The problem with I-Dee is he didnt do anything. I almost thought his serato was messing up, or the "timecode" was hitchy. Anyone know what was really up with that?
Addie Engbrecht 02.04.2013	Dont have cable/ VH1......but I would watch this
Junie Turkin 02.04.2013	I saw season 2, didn't see season 1(yet). I believe season 3 started off TERRIBLY! I'm just waiting for DJ Yonny to get back on the show in a later episode, but a lot of the DJs on there just made me wonder how they got on the show. I understand there is pressure, but it looked like a lot of people tried to impress the judges and failed.
Ramonita Atwell 02.04.2013	Originally Posted by myndgruv The fact the let dj i-dee (USA DMC CHAMP) go after technical issues but kept the ipad dj is sad. Chris Karns is the best turntablist on the show. if you dont know him where have you been hiding? look up DJ Vajra on youtube. He is the 2011 DMC World Champion. The fact that some of the contestants have more DJing accolades than the judges makes the show laughable at best. Feel bad for I- Dee, he's better than any of the judges and a majority of the contestants who made it into the 2nd round.

Much of the videos are blocked in my country though and I only found turntable routines, are they all like that ? And to the Dutch people on here, definitely check my set rules out: All they're saying is "Yeah I'd smash that" "Yup" "Me three" ... "She's good with the knobs" "Yeah she could twist mine"
