progress: dj mix cd

[Sheridan]

ok I have been given the go a head by pille' and tomas to start the dj mix cd.
I am going to do one mix, then burn it and pass it on. I will do it this weekend and post back when I am finished and who it will go to next.

[tsr_tomas]

cool.

[pille'ocheoni]

well since im doing the routing i guess,the closet person,but it wont be that interesting.i say follow the order in which people signed on the board for the dj=cd sign .since obviously im first ,dont send it to me,im still trying to do this production thing,i think mr.birken was next:)

[Sheridan]

all right! I have finished the beginning to the dj mix cd. I am sorry it took a little while. like I said in another post I have been busy with school, and I have been sick the past week. but it is done and ready to go to the next person!!!
I am not sure who I am supposed to send it to next. so I am sending it pille' and who ever is supposed to get it, or wants it should post here and get there address to pille'.
I would take care of it myself, but as is posted in another post, I will not have internet access for a few weeks, so I will not be able to check in here as often and get the cd out in a timely manner.

so I guess that is all. now we can get this thing rolling!!

Ian

[pille'ocheoni]

[pille'ocheoni]

ok well my fucking life has been a living hell with school ,work and this fucking job and my broken car,so as time has stood still and christmas is passing i sit here bundling up a package destined for russia,but all is well just a little postponed.thankyou for your concern but john's slackness stops here and i apologise.thanks john[pille']

[phono]

ok, i tryed to remove some noises in this mixingCD and improve quality as i can.
i mixed Subhead19.. :)
so may be you, buddies, put here the names of 2 previous tracks.
this will inform next person what we mixing here...

and please use better equipment for our global work! :)

..... who will be the next?.... pille, answer, please! or we connect ourselves....

[phono]

hey, nobody want it?....
pille, where're you??

[wheezer]

like I said somewhere else on this board, Helsinki is not that far from Moscow...

[phono]

sure, wheezer! :)

but i dont' know who is the next in pille's list...
if he will not answer for 2days, i'll send it to you! :)

do you travel to St.Petersburg or Moscow sometime?

[wheezer]

I think pille' is kicking the random styles with the list of participants, but it sounds very unlikely that we won't hear anything from pille the next two days phono, don't you worry about that lol

anyway, I've been to st.petersburg once, amazing city! I had some guys from a moscow club (I think it had telex in the name or berlin or something like that?) ask me about a booking, but a local russian friend recommended against it...

[phono]

what club?
telex in the name or berlin... may be cafe "moscow-berlin"?

st.petersburg... great! :)
i played there several times. people there are more sensitive for music than here, in moscow. but may be it's just in my opinion :)

[wheezer]

haven't played at st.petersburg, was just visiting - yeh, "moscow-berlin", that was it!

[phono]

what music do you play? moscow-berlin is just a cafe... no techno... only deep music!

[wheezer]

yeh it was through these salo guys I guess, they had heard a minimal/deep mix of mine, that how the whole thing came to be!

[Will O The Wisp]

here's the list:

list (http://www.no-future.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=1563)


thetonewrecker should be next...

[wheezer]

oh man, I thought for sec that I actually understood the intricacies of this cd project! wasn't pille just picking peeps from the list at random..?

[phono]

thetonewrecker, are you in USA now?

may be will be better and faster to send it somewhere near Russia...
the nearest is Finland and Poland i guess for sure after that to Germany or Sweden or UK...

[4md]

is it too late to be in ?

[phono]

4md, don't know... may be the list is full...
waiting for mr. pille!

i remember he said that the next in UK... but seems would be better send it to Finland.

[4md]

oki ... waiting for Mr.pille answer ..

[pille'ocheoni]

i think thats fine.

[phono]

pille, who is the next?
show the list for us!

[pille'ocheoni]

[wheezer]

hmm well if it's at phono's now I'd recommend having me next, and I could pass it on to tsr_tomas who's in sweden, who could pass it on to ruben who's in denmark... then if we could group the brits into one segment and the remaining americans, we still have some germans and one guy in poland, right? and where's gunny?

[4md]

well... so it's dead

[wheezer]

if you're in france 4md we could fit you in after will o the wisp I guess

[carbonizedeyesockets]

Hey..put me on the bench in case anyone drops out!!
I'm in Brighton U.K..........

[pille'ocheoni]

yep sorry bout that.,......consider yourself after willo

[wheezer]

hold on there, spinach ginny - the maximum mix time was 6 minutes, right? well if carbonized is still joining, where at 23 people, that's a double cd sure as my name is heinz-jürgen hinkel...

[pille'ocheoni]

is that a insult? i never said carbon was joining, and why do you cause yourself so trouble in the matter anyways?

[wheezer]

no no, no insult sir! bruce campbell sez that in army of darkness, actually lol well even if carbon doesn't join, I just wanted to point out that with 22 people at 6 minutes each, we're looking at a double cd...of course one can also put the two parts together at the end and publish it online as one big mp3...

[CHIP TRONIC]

well i am in germany

[pille'ocheoni]

ok........if you look at the original thread of dj=mixing signup you'll see we agreeded that it was going to be a double cd. no problem., and please dont take this as a insult:) " give me some sugar baby "

[wheezer]

ah I overlooked that! hehe we have had too many threads for this, confusing lol

[phono]

huh... ok!

thetonewrecker:
i see you are in USA! ok this will be better to send mixingCD to nearest place... cos from pille it was taken about 3 weeks to pass CD to me. anyways it'll be in your hands!

pille:
here you are, buddy! so our project become more real! :)

wheezer:
now i see your address and hope tommorrow morning i'll send it to you!

all:
be carefull with the quality! i tryed to improve it, but haven't so much time.. i saw that willothewisp said somewhere here that it'll be better to cut it in previous mix and your mixed track. after that all you need is use the same volume...
but it seems doesn't work good! cos there'll be not only different volumes, but also different quality (one of the parts will be more noisy or in different frequency spectrum cos we use different equipment). may be it'll be better to record whole mix one more time (not cut and paste) real time... for sure we need to make some operations (equalization, compress and normalize it)...

so what do you think about this problem?? it's really important! we need to make a decision in the beginnig!

[4md]

oki...it's cool ! :)

[Will O The Wisp]

well, in this case i think the best option is:

to burn every part of the mix as .wav file, so at the end someone will join them together.

what do you think of it?

[phono]

Will O The Wisp,
to burn you need to play this CD in your CDplayer, connect it to mixer and output to CDRW. think, that the result will diifer from the original and you can't just paste them together cos there will be difference.
may be i'm wrong...?
anybody did something like this before?

[wheezer]

@phono

here's how I'd do it:

extract the audio from cd with a audioripper such as windac32 - that's purely digital, so there should be NO loss of quality. play back the digital copy, and record your own mix, digitally. of one wants no loss of quality, the two pieces have to be put together with some multitrack recording program, although really I think that I could live with the loss of quality, because I prefer the idea of the mixing part being "analog".

after all, there'll be about 10 recordings per cd, so that shouldn't be that bad...should it?

[phono]

although really I think that I could live with the loss of quality, because I prefer the idea of the mixing part being "analog".

think that live will be more honourable (right word?)! :)


after all, there'll be about 10 recordings per cd, so that shouldn't be that bad...should it?

hope that souldn't bad! but we have already more than 20 persons in the list.. :)

[Will O The Wisp]

@Phono

i was thinking about computer cd recorder, not stand alone, audio only version...

you don't have to record the CD 'cos you already have .wav of every previous mixes.

[phono]

Will O The Wisp,
yes you already have .wav in your computer... but how you'll mixing it? file.wav from computer output to mixer, after that again to computer. so you'll bring more noises to mix again and again 20 times....
that problem have only one decision: all of us need to mix it together on one set of equipment at one time!
lol

[wheezer]

@phono:

yes, it's 20 something in total, but at 6 minutes per head, it'll be 2 cds...

[tsr_tomas]

whohooo. only 3 people before me... wheezer. i´ll give you my adress soon ;)

BONK BONK.

[wheezer]

yeh send it over, you're up after me and it's coming to my place right now!

[phono]

why 6min? may be faster mixing will be more interesting...?

[wheezer]

that's just the maximum time, you can do less if you like

[pille'ocheoni]

yep...thats the max........but i agree faster is cooler

[LEFTHANDLOU]

Obviously not everyone is going to have the same programs and know how to get ideal sound. I think a really cool part of the cd project is that everyone gets to try their best to get the best sound possible. I think at the end we can clean it up with a compressor.

But everyone needs to make sure that the dont distort and shit. Again I think it is going to be fun at the end to hear what comes out reardless of whether its studio grade quality. The RAW sound is good, and at the end we can clean it up. Or maybe we can have cristian do the final mix and cleaning, I'm sure that brother has mass gear :)

[phono]

LEFTHANDLOU,
you're right, all we can do is everyone gets to try their best to get the best sound possible....
hope all will be gooood! :)

[wheezer]

barring my kgb connections have suddenly come into effect again, the mix cd arrived today from moscow! I'll pick it up after work, can't wait :)

[tsr_tomas]

tjohooo... and after that it´s my turn. MOHAHAHAHAHAAAA !

[phono]

hehe, russian post working!

[tsr_tomas]

phono: all you need is a little faith and a bottle of Vodka to bribe the postoffice maffia. hehe, they are all nice lads.

[phono]

tsr, you're right! but there was an old woman... :)

[tsr_tomas]

don´t old russian women drink Vodka to... i tought Vodka was more common then water in russia.

haha, that didn´t sound right.

[aleks]

maybe he didn´t offer her vodka :)

[wheezer]

hmm, when some friends and I were eating at a russian restaurant in st.petersburg, we decided to finish the meal with the traditional vodka, but asked for small glasses, having seen what size glasses the russians usually seemed to drink their vodka out of - the waiter obliged, and came back half an hour later, apologizing because he simply could not find the small glasses...

[tsr_tomas]

hahahahhahahhahahaaaaaaa. FUNNY.

[pille'ocheoni]

weezer your travels facinate me!:).what country's have you been to? could you name them for us:)

[phono]

wheezer, so funny story! :)
how long ago you were there?

russians usually drink not glasses, but carafe (right word?)... :))

[tsr_tomas]

what, are you serious Phono.. do you drink as a Shot ?

[phono]

i don't know how good Shot drink (may be he lost habit)
russians are professionals in these things!
just a joke :)

[tsr_tomas]

haha... yes indeen. russain vodka kick ass... i was at Roskilde2000. a friend flew in from Russia on the secound day at Camp (thuseday). anyway, he had a big trunk of Vodka bottle´s with him.. everybody got 1/2 liter of vodka that day.. don´t remeber anything from that night... woke up the next day in the guther next to the Pissing fens.
juck.

russian vodka is for the hardest people.

[pille'ocheoni]

stoli forever!

[phono]

vodka "russian standard" rules! :)

[phono]

tsr, have you ever been to Russia? :)

[tsr_tomas]

nope.. havn´t been there yet.

i´m thinking about going to moscaw and take the Transsiberianexpress to china.
it´s like one of my gouls in life ;)

[phono]

may be we will make a party with your live performance in St.Petersburg or Moscow... :)

As in Stolichnaya ? I can't beleive they actually sell it at my local off license, The best vodka I've ever had. :D

[pille'ocheoni]

yeah totally!

[jukka]

most russians do drink "selfmade vodka" or not ??
that awesome stuff with 80%+ of alcohol in_____

[Sheridan]

that sounds like some heavy shit.
I will never forget the day when my mom found a bottle of grain alcohol in my sisters closet.
the bottle was half empty and my mom turns to my sister and says 'are you trying to die?'.
good times.

[phono]

jukka, "selfmade vodka" - "samogon" in russian! ;))

not the most russians drink samogon, may be only in villages... for me i have never drink it.. :)

again a fable about Russia....

[wheezer]

@jukka

I think what you're referring to is what is called "pirttu" over here, it's not self made, but it's not legal either; 95% spirits sold in liter bottles, they are produced a lot in estonia at least, and have real brands like "royal pirttu" etc...

[thetonewrecker]

*makes note to include images of Vodka when package arrives to Minneapolis eventually.


Nice to see us producers all enjoying a good drink (or thoughts of one) as we wait for the little bundle of joy to each make it to us.

i was more thinking of real "self brewed" vodka___at least my uncle did this (dunno if he still does sometimes).it smelled like spiritus and i even never tasted !!

[wheezer]

ah, there's also some stuff traditionally being brewed here called kilju, from sugar, (special) yeast and water - rather disgusting ...

[tsr_tomas]

special Yeast ey... Potatoes you mean, hehe.

[phaedrus]

Haven't heard about project in a while...anyone know the status?

[wheezer]

umm stuck in the k-hole that is my place... I promise to get my ass in gear for next week!
