FuzzY-LogiC Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 sign me up please. This year I'll definitely cook up a mix... Last year I never got around to it, but this year I actually have the time and I'm very eager to do a mix since it's been forever... and on that note I can say my mxing skills is probably be somewhat rusty.. but hey, it's all about contributing, not being perfect.. right!?

Simcut Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Can you have a ruling that all audio has to be either 192kbps 44hz CBR mp3 or 320kbps 44hz CBR mp3, up to the submitter? I hate listening to decent sets in 128kbps WMA or something like that, would be best that everyone uses the same format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Previous years we've had people subbing 160, 192 vbr, 128 etc. (which Ive stuck with each time), so really it would be good, Ia gree to have all involved stick to a certain quality and format. So I'm going to second Simcuts idea, please submit your mixes only in either 192kbps 44hz CBR mp3 or 320kbps 44hz CBR mp3 please (will add this to 1st post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simcut Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 by the way, if anyone needs any guidance on how to encode to 192kbps 44hz CBR mp3 or 320kbps 44hz CBR mp3 please do let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 haha... Don't worry Simcut I always submit my mixes in at least 192 and always keep the wavs for them also so that anyone wanting a CD copy gets it burnt from the wav file. Ironically of course most people will only ever stream the mixes I upload via soundcloud which means they are listening to a 128 kbps stream. Only when downloading the file which hardly anyone does nowadays do you get the file in the intended quality. I do agree with your concerns here though.

Aza Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wow - that time of year again - it's truly come around way too quick! Nevertheless, this has always been an activity on here I've always loved to participate in and sadly my very limited time of late has restricted my ability to keep in touch with y'all on here. That said, I'm well up for this and sense another special mix to be undertaken. So will rack through the vintagey material and put together something to reminisce over!
