By the way, to those of you who've expressed some nervousness about contributing: Don't be scared!

This exchange isn't about engineering wizardry, perfect mixes, or giving the crowd what you think they want. no no no! It's about sharing what music is special to YOU in some way. The mixes in Round 1 were generally just compilations -- no crossfading, no beats per minute counted, etc. -- with some personal poignance to each orger. And they were awesome. Go for that. nod

Going first is good for me, because I tend to obsess and tinker with these types of projects endlessly, heh. This will force me to work very fast. I have a sorta rough draft put together, but still need a few more strong songs and then gotta figure out if it works as a mix. But the process is part of the fun smile

Generally I know which artists I want to use (for the most part), the question is picking the particular songs.

Have fun! What my original tape turned out to be was not quite what I expected, and in some ways that told me a bit about myself. Let us know what you think of 8tracks.com, and if you think we should look for a better streaming site.

it looks like 8tracks should work ok. This is what I found on the website:

To publish, include at least 8 tracks, no more than 2 of which are from the same artist or album. Track, album and artist names are required.

Our license requires randomized playback the 2nd time a person listens to your mix.



So it seems that the first time you play a mix through, it will be in the correct order, but beyond that the songs will play randomly. Although not ideal, I think this will work OK. Thoughts?

Thanks for checking it out.

Yeah, not ideal, but I'm personally OK with this if everyone else is.

this might work for some but it nearly broke my brain nuts My mix had to be listened to in order because there was a story there....

Yeah, mine really needs to be listened to in order, too, but I think for the official face of the project this will be cool, and then folks can always arrange alternative measures privately.

well, i've finished the artwork of mine, and i have progressed well on the mix itself. There is a strong core of about 5 songs I know will be there, then a rotating cast of about a dozen others that are possibilities. And i'm still perusing my collection seeing if i can find something else that works. But the vibe and personality of it has definitely taken shape, and it has a title.

It will be ready to go by 2/8, for sure!

Mara and paisleypark4life would be awesome newcomers. Iam not sure if Mara is even on here anymore, which is a real shame as his mixtape would be hot!

Same with Paiselypark4life.
