The people who blow my mind are Theo Parrish and co who do this all by ear, on the fly, using an isolator to pick out various parts of tracks.

I had no idea how he was able to go from a jazz song to some hard techno in a single mix, until I realized that he was mixing harmonically.
oh no kidding, no i can't do this at all
i guess it helps to be a trained musician
― the late great, Monday, 10 September 2012 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
i can barely pick out whether a track is 110, 120 or 130 let alone hear what key its in.
What I really ought to do is set up a script that'll rip to both FLAC and MP3 simultaneously, seeing as I'm only ripping a small percentage of my CDs and not every single one of them

dmr: EAC is a CD ripper with some super crazy magic secure ripping mode that will not only let you know when a disc is scratched and has errors, but will reread the problem sectors until it gets a reliable (re: not-skippy) copy. It will often give you pristine rips of discs that skip in most other cd players, whereas iTunes will just blaze through them and give you garbled files
― gwenguthrie gwen ross (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 10 September 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link
I do not have time to fully listen to every file I rip
― gwenguthrie gwen ross (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 10 September 2012 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
when you play percussive bass / treble tracks at 192 really loud or 256 you get artifacts on the cymbals and shit but if its midrangey music (pop, etc) i think it sounds okay

haha i eluded the copyright tagger last time i uploaded by dropping 30secs of thunderstorm sound fx at the start ^__^
tlg i was gonna ask u how much $$ you were paying-- you had a lotta stuff up and theyre not cheap!!
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:03 (twelve years ago) link
The only things that bug me about Mixcloud are the time it takes to tag everything and no download option.
But hey, Mediafire.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
i was paying like $10/mo for vanity purposes but then i was just like fuck it, this is stupid
let's face it, nobody's going to DL your shit anyway
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know I like to at least give the option, hate that the only version of a mix is some 128 kbps stream.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
oh shit, really? mixcloud streams at 128?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:04 (twelve years ago) link
btw when i say nobodys going to DL "your shit" i mean "my shit", the "royal us" so to speak

You can upload whatever you like to mixcloud as long as it fits. I've done smaller mixes at 320 I think. Maybe 256, defo 192. I think they made the file sizes you're aloud to upload bigger fairly recently. I always stick up a download at a better quality somewhere else too mind, like in the comments or on my blog. Not done a mix for a bit cos I've been busy and not had the radio show: http://xpldr.tumblr.com/post/29684332676/xpldr-mix but I'm prob gonna do one soon ish now the summer slump of 12"s is on the wane and I'm coming to the end of the gardening like a bastard season...
― jimitheexploder, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
i've started making all of my mixes at 30 mins to fit them on cassette, i think i heard their limit is 100 mb?
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
Well I just uploaded a 132 mb file, so it must have gone up. That was 60 minutes at 320.
I thought that all Soundcloud streams get bounced down to 128 though?
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
dling that mix now josiah, love pop dip and spin and 360 so thats a good sign
― suare, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
stream some mixes but prefer DLs for ones that look good
― suare, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
I make no promises, I was slightly inebriated. Sometimes that means my mixing is looser, sometimes trainwrecks.
Hope its fun!
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
trainwrecks are great fun
― the late great, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
Well the creakiest mix is 3/4 of the way through so if you've made it that far: Salud.
― Josiah Alan, Saturday, 15 September 2012 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I ran Into problems with the copyright tagger on soundcloud too. I dunno, Mixcloud seems fine, you can put a download link into the mix description if you want
― dmr, Monday, 17 September 2012 02:42 (twelve years ago) link
I hate streaming and download everything. No DL = I probably won't listen.

i recall soundcloud being fine as long as you keep copyrighted sounds out of the first X seconds of your mix but i also might have made that up

i had to make a mix for a girl who's not really into dance music so i tried to do this beardo thingy, i haven't done this in a while and forget how hard it was. it's really fun though to make something that's just a ton of favorites without having to think about too many obvious tracks in a row, i don't know if the genre's dead either but i think it's wild how some of the stuff is endlessly listenable
