Drum and Bass Train round 2 (or 3 dunno)
Posted on: 28.10.2011 by Joie Cantillon
Hey all, I believe it's about time for another DnB mixtrain... I'm gonna say that 8 members at 20 minutes a piece is too long and so difficult to get completed, I'm gonna say we should go with 6 people at around 25 minutes or so, hit this post up if you are interested...

I'd like to say we could have this done within 2 months with everyone getting a week or so to complete their mix. I'd hope we could get someone involved that has experience mastering mixes as I am clueless when it comes to those sort of things...

Alright then, if you wanna do something a little more on the liquid side, then you are up next (after Duttylectric). If you wanna do something a little heavier, then wait for Flash101uk to finish his part, then you will be next. let me know asap what you wanna do. also PM me your email address so i can add you to the dropbox.

go ahead and download/install dropbox if you havent already. then i will send you an invite so u can get access to our mix train folder.

No real time limit really....but would be nice if you could have it done within a day or 2 if at all possible.

youre positive on me replacing the file on there with a new full mix including the one thats right on there now, right?
yes, replace the file, if anything goes wrong with it, i have a copy of it.

we should have someone fix gain level mistakes and do a little mastering over the final mix. someone keen on that?
yes, that is the plan, either me or Flash are going to do the mastering at the end, so dont worry about that, just worry about trying to mix into the levels that are currently there please.

nah its very catchy. looks cool. your names pretty catchy too so youre fine.

but i agree that there are more badass names than yoshi

Hey I'm just saying I'm confident w/ what I do.

I play it all honestly. I have tons of liquid, minimal, clownstep, techstep, neurofunk, Satanstep and drumfunk. I can mix 20tunes in 20mins on 3-4 decks or play 4-6 tunes in 20mins. Whatever is clever.

We got room for one more according to the original spec set out my bigheadmike. What kinda stuff do you play? Or what kinda stuff would you like to play on the train?

Better deciding now, so if youre into chillout liquid you go before the people playing heavier tunes. Or are you not fussed?

Plus I'm pretty good.
Modesty is your best quality then

UPDATE:
Added the tracklist to the Mix Train V2 dropbox folder. Please add your tracklists with times when it is your turn. Thanks!

Ok, we should have Dutty up next... still waiting for his email adress....

Dutty, do you wanna go for a liquid mix after yoshi?
It'd probably fit better into the flow as citizen and myself are heading for the heavy minimal / tech stuff. You'd probably find it a pain in the arse mixing out of that with any consistency.

Also, we need a running tracklisting in the dropbox along side the mix. Just a text file is good enough. Your name, then your tracks. Save anyone repeating any tunes unintentionally.

Ok, heres how it works, download and install Dropbox. PM me your email. once i have your email you will have access to our Mix Train dropbox folder. once that happens, you may go into the folder, download the file that is in there. you will then mix at the end of that file (make sure you record at similar sound levels please!). after you record your part, put the new recording back into the Mix Train folder. then the next person will do what you did as well.... get it? =D If you need better instructions, you can catch me on AIM - YoshiExcel or Live Messanger [email protected]

Duttylectric should be next, he never gave me his email for the Dropbox...

EDIT: tried to PM him, but seems that his PM box is full... =\

07.11.2011
Yeah, having only one @320 and the rest @wav means you should still be fine. Just gonna warn on what I said to yoshi: I need to be added to the dropbox as late as possible. My dropbox is filling up and I need it for my music course... and the hip hop mix train (currently de-railed) is sitting in it lol.
Oh and @Mike: I still have all of the first D&B train in .wav so if you want to find someone who's not Tekki to finish it or just go over there and make him do his part... >_>
Joie Cantillon
06.11.2011
sorry for the late reply, my dsl sucks and trying to upload the mix as a .wav was timing out...I believe the best choice would be for you to just record the mix and go on as a .wav from where you are at, all of my songs are beatport 320s so it shouldn't sound too bad....
Lucrecia Diloreto
06.11.2011
i guess im just gonna re upload what i had... it will just speed everything up a bit more. so whoever is next, just mix into the dropbox file.
Marguerite Salsedo
06.11.2011
Well I'm the caboose but I already have a few ideas.... like I definitely know what I'm bringing this train back into the station (bad metaphor... oh well) with.
Lucrecia Diloreto
05.11.2011
maybe theres a miscommunication here, but i thought we were waiting on bigheadmikelove to re-record his part as a wav file (at the same sound levels as before), and then upload it to dropbox so that i can attatch my part back on that one so that then i can upload it to Dropbox for the next person... =\


Edit: i had done my part a week ago, it has been done. so either we can wait for bigheadmike, or i can just re-upload what i had uploaded before.
Marilee Drinnen
05.11.2011
Hey I'm game to submit a mix.
Corrin Penney
05.11.2011
We need the mixes in the drop box first I believe.

Yoshi, how are you getting on with your mix? Also, has dutty replied in a PM for the dropbox?
Joie Cantillon
04.11.2011
dutty are you working on your mix still?

Shameless bump

You wont lose much quality if its only recompressed the once. If everyone else can work with wav they we'll be alright I believe.

Dont worry about the levels either, they can be fixed when we master it.

@bigheadmike, dont worry about rerecording @ higher level since i mixed into your current levels so its all good. Just send me your part again as a wav file. I need your email so i can add you to the dropbox sharing.
Joie Cantillon
31.10.2011
so should I go and re-record the whole mix with the volume slightly higher, or should I just upload my .wav of it (by the way, my dsl may time out on an upload of that size....dunno I'll go ahead and try if neccessarry otherwise, just upmix the current part to .wav... all of the mp3s in that mix were aquired via beatport @ 320kbps, so it should be ok at the moment, but yall know more about that than me for sure

This sounds like the most sensible idea. Then theres no loss of quality. The file will get unreasonably large by the end of the train, but it is the only way to ensure top notch quality of the end result.

If you'd rather do the mastering, then by all means go ahead., Im sure you have more experience than me so thats all good!
I'm easy mate, we'll decide when the time comes

@Flash, I have dropbox, ill reinstall it now. Ill delete my soundcloud post. PMs sound good from now on (for passing the mix around). As far as WAV goes, I could export the file as Wav (but then Mike's part would have lost a bit of quality) and go from there, or wait for Mike to do his in Wav and send me that part and ill join the 2 parts back together as a full wav. if thats making any sense at all...

If you'd rather do the mastering, then by all means go ahead., Im sure you have more experience than me so thats all good!

Looks like yoshi's ending on some more dancefloor RAM stuff. Looking at Dutty's latest mix, he's into liquid dancefloor. I believe from a flow perspective it would be better if he goes next. But im easy, I'll roll with this no problem.

As far as uploading goes, i dont have any room on my soundcloud to host this. I'd prefer to use dropbox if thats alright with you guys? It also keeps the mix from being heard by the public until weve finished it. Personally I'd prefer that we pass the torch through PM's and update the thread with a notice to the next guy. What do you believe?

Also, are you chaps bouncing the mix down the MP3 before uploading? If you are, I'd suggest leaving it as WAV format. The amount of times its recompressed will have a noticable effect on the first mix.
I argued this point out with some guy on IMTC and after doing some research, it really does affect the sound quality.

As far as mastering goes, I have experience and I'll offer my services if required. Yoshi's first dibs on the mastering though.

Totally down for this.

Also if possible I'd like to go last so I can close out with some really dubby stuff as I stated before
Lucrecia Diloreto
30.10.2011
@Bigheadmike, that'd be awesome. and i do believe we (the dnb heads) are better lol. I remember being a part of a Progressive Trance train a while back and noone seemed to get their shit together so i just quit it... Ive had the best luck here with the dnb guys.

btw, Id really love to get a heavy/dark dnb train going soon too!

3 days and 2 mixes complete, so is duttyelectric going next or is Flash going then Citizen and the Dutty to close the deal out...

Also you know what would be the f'n note?

If we could get this done by the end of next weekend...I believe it's a very real possibility (and we could spout off some sort of bs around the community about how DnB heads are far better )

...but who am I kidding you guys are probably going to take the entire week and get every little tweak of the knobs sorted before you throw it down, which I guess I need to start teaching myself to do...I still just sit down and play some tunes....

But everyone should try to get this whole deal hammered out quick
Lucrecia Diloreto
30.10.2011
Alright, I did my part and uploading to Soundcloud now for whoever is next to download. I went ahead and used your first mix Bigheadmike, kinda fit the style i was going to mix much better.

I did notice the volume levels were a bit low, so i just mixed at those levels as well and everyone else should just follow, we can fix that up after we have it all complete. try to get it as close as possible that way the mastering at the end isnt such a pain... Im a bit out of it right now so if you catch something i screwed up in or whatever just let me know and ill try and fix it.

http://soundcloud.com/mwt/djtt-dnb-train-v2-2nd-try

So I took a few minutes (and still went 1 minute more than I should have ) too long on the last try, decided to somewhat change the style of the mix and go in a deeper liquid style building in energy.... anyway whatever Yoshi feels like going off is fine with me

Tracklist

Twisted Facts - Crystalline - Soul Deep
MSDOS - Debacle - Liquid Drumz
Naibu - Back Engineering - Avalanche
Broken Eye - Feeling the Music - Respect
Sobersoul - Spring Race - Respect
Sardi - There For You - Liquid Brilliants
Super Deejay Bobzilla - Heavy Duty Booty (Human Factor Remix) - Mutate Records I picked this up off chance that because the name of the producer and the name of the track were shit hot the tune must be good, turns out it was
Makoto & Greg Packer - Found Your Love - Human Elements
Foxrox - Can't Live Without You - Audio Danger Records Kinda screwed the mix up a bit here, it's what I get for not using sync

Anyway lemme know what you all believe if the other one isn't too long (which it shouldn't be, I've got plenty of room on my soundcloud to host it) go ahead with the other one, if time is a premium I'd say use this one
