November CD Mix Club

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Napole0n I'd be happy for some dance action if you'd like to request me as your recipient

It's a deal.

Are there any genres within dance/electronic music you particularly like? I mainly do progressive/deep house/(psy)trance but it would also be fun to do some straight techno/breaks/electro/something else for a change. Note that one of the CD's will be progressive/trancey anyway because it'll be the 'greatest hits' one.

It's all good, really. Surprise me!

[Vimster]

Yes pleeeze, let me in.

And as long as lfj has been vetted and found not to be a major spam gang, then that's fine.

[holly]

I'm in - I've had a few months off but I think it's about time I came back!

lfj, good on you for taking over

[Zomby]

Doh!

[acidbearboy]

Thanks, should maybe move it to the October thread though!

[Zomby]

Whooops

[AfromB]

Me please.

[MW_Jimmy]

List updated! and I've replied to all those stupid things called "PM's" too.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Bought some good tracks at Beatport in various genres tonight.

I hope I manage to string them together in a 'natural' way though!

[Wiper]

I'm in again, if you'll all have me. As ever, don't mind who I send to. Too eclectic/unspecialised to suggest a certain 'type' of recipient either, though probably best not to give it to somebody who particularly wants Hip-Hop or R&B.

[Paradigm]

I'm not on the list, ya div!

[MW_Jimmy]

You're both well late, but I'm not going to get around to sending PMs tonight so Ill extend the closing date until tommorow @ 5pm.

Also, I didn't realise Paradigm

PM me your address as I don't have it anymore.

I've added you Stu.

[Wiper]

Oi, look up three posts and add me ya bastard!

[MW_Jimmy]

OK - all PM's now sent.

Lemme know if I've messed up anywhere. Have fun all!

[Vimster]

Uhoh.... just checked the musical tastes of my victim this month.... let's just say the chances of getting your dream mix from me are minimal. But I'll give it a go.

[Disgraced Toblerone]

DiscoStu, a few questions :

What kind of chocolate do you like?

Do you have a PS2 or a Xbox - or both ? (i'm doing a clearout...)

What's your birth year?

[ZOK]

Okay, by the looks of things I'm super organized this month, so David Heath, you should have a cd going in the post today!

[Zomby]

w00t w00t! Got my PM *rubs hands* I've got a great CD planned for this month

[ZOK]

Yep, cd is posted. I'm very unhappy with the way the volume levels go up and down on this one, it doesn't seem to have been a problem before. How do folks deal with that? I'm burning through itunes, by the way.

Everything that I rip or download goes through a program called mp3gain to normalise it to a similar volume. Works very well.

[ZOK]

Is it applicable to a library, or only as part of the importing process?

Apply it to a library. If you're gonna do thousands and thousands I'd back-up your mp3s just in case. The nicest option is "album gain" which normalises the average volume over the album so that the quiet parts still sound quieter, as they should do.

[ZOK]

Coolio! I'll be tracking that down then. Cheers Jimmy.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

First CD ('greatest hits') is done, and I'm very happy with it. The second one is about half way through now. I need to buy some more tracks though, it seems I've 'painted myself in a corner' a bit and I haven't got anything in stock which will bail me out.

ZOK, dude - you won't believe this but your CD turned up broken in half!

Literally cracked right down the middle. No idea if this is my postman's fault or the problem of someone/thing else somewhere down the line. Would it be possible to upload the tracks in some kind of order somewhere or something to avoid having to re-burn and send a CD. I normally burn all my Mix Club CD's again anyway after they arrive so just having the tracks and the order they are meant to go in will be great.

Really sorry about this - although I am very appreciative of the little Nintendo badge. I've put it straight onto my record bag.

I'd specifically written 'Do Not Bend' on the packet as well! Obviously some cunty posties idea of a laugh!

I don't really know how to upload them as a whole playlist, if someone can advise then I could do, otherwise I'll send it again on Monday.

[acidbearboy]

You could post a tracklist and David could play them in order! Or put all the tracks in one folder, queue them up in the correct order and save the playlist. Zip the folder up (with the playlist also) and whack it online.

[ZOK]

See, it's 'zipping' talk that makes my blood run cold. I realise that you all think I'm the smartest guy on the forum, but really I'm a bit thik.

I'll give it a go if I'm not too hung over tommorow though.

[Boozy The Clown]

Mine arrived yesterday and after a couple of listens it's a case of some yes pleases and a few no thank yous.
