these matchcut continuous mixes make me want to attempt one of my own. i fancied myself a dj a couple years ago, although that time only yielded one complete mix (which wasn't too bad)
any of you guys used traktor before for your mixing purposes? it's what i've used in the past
I used Virtual DJ for mine. Featureset wise, I bet it's comparable to Traktor (if a little less robust) but the upside is that it costs about USD $100 less.Quoting Acapelli (view post)

Yeah. So, how you coming along on the mastering of Guile? Can you get his ultra-combo off pretty consistently yet?

Haven't even had a chance to do that!Yeah. So, how you coming along on the mastering of Guile? Can you get his ultra-combo off pretty consistently yet?
My mind has just not been in the mood for anything creative....
Hoping things will clear up this weekend. We'll see. I'm running on about 6 hours of sleep since Sunday.
Ugh.
I have no problem waiting. I'm still listening to (and loving) the last mix.
I have a suggestion for another theme, whenever someone wants to tackle a mix (not me, tho, I don't have the skillz or the time). I'd like see us compile a CD of songs that define "beautiful" as in the type of song that's so fucking gorgeous it sends chills down your spine. Whether it's the vocals, instrumentation, lyrics or a combination thereof, I'd be really curious to see what songs MatchCutters classify as "beautiful." It would seem that such a collection would lend itself to slower-tempo stuff, but that may not be the case for everyone.
I already have my choice picked out.
*yawn*

Would it be possible to just have the songs instead of the mix, if that would take less time?

Yes - I'll probably end up doing this.
Taps foot...

With Daniel Davis' blessing I present to you...
Match Cut Mixtape Volume 8 - Summer Time Jam
A big THANK YOU to Daniel Davis for setting this whole thing up, and for letting me post this in his place.
The folder is a compressed .rar file and it contains all the mp3s (plus one of my own) in numbered order.
Enjoy, guys.
Oh yeah, ignore the "trotchky's version of" in the file names. I created it like that before I knew D. Davis would allow me to post it here, to distinguish it as a possible alternative. I'm not trying to show off or anything.
So, uh, how about Panic at the Disco? Great band, eh?

Pretty. Odd. is decidedly not terrible. I'm not exactly a fan, but it's better than most of the shit on z100 or equivalent radio station. I've only heard that one song from their first album and I don't like it.
I'm actually a really big fan of theirs. I just figured I'd introduce that somewhat surreptitiously.:P
Their first album is stuffed with pure post-modern satire. I love it. Pretty. Odd. is very 60s/70s feeling.
