I guess no one has any right to the votes! This a true democracy after all (prob the last one left in the world!). But although Im quite new to this thang the depth and variety of knowledge on here is amazing.... so I reckon that we will be able to detect true craftmanship and artistry. Im a long way off that at the mo, but Im only starting out.. Hoping to learn from some more experianced bods on here. I guess its like the history of this DI channel.. big trees grow from small acorns huh? lol!

Im gonna vote for a mix thats completely outside my fav genre, if it catches me. The way I look at it is if a mix can draw me to a new genre then it has to be dam fine, and surely that is the whole point of this?? oh and the having loads of fun as well.. play on!

Well I see 11 mixes uploaded as of right now. Can't wait to hear 'em all! This competition's already been a lot of fun, thanks a lot to everyone who had a hand in making it happen. Good luck to all the competitors

Something was brought to my attention regarding the public voting.

The concern was this:

Let say for instance djGT (I love picking on that poor guy) votes for a particular set and someone doesn't want to listen to all of the sets, but instead goes with the Big Name voter to 'simplify' their voting process. It could also work in the opposite direction as well.

This was a concern voiced to me today by one of the contestants. I can see how this might negatively affect the voting process and told said contestant I would post thier concern.

What do the rest of you guys and gal think?

is there a way to make a poll public after sometime?

i mean it starts being secret but when it finnally ends it becomes public

DJ_Serg · Apr 16th, 2006, 06:09 PM

^^ that's inevitable and i don't think there is anyway around it. It'd be a little hard for some to listen to all 20+ sets we could potentially get, unless it's someone who's very dedicated to the voting process

also, are we going to have reviews for every mix?

I'm not going to post in depth reviews for all (hopefully) ten hours of audio. I'll just do like last time. "I liked this set becuase....." type of thing. But if you feel like dropping reviews for them, please feel free to. We all like feedback.

Jeremy Micheal · Apr 16th, 2006, 10:08 PM

I then turned left to get my bottle of beer but the thing that connects left ear cup to the thing that goes around your head snaped... Still works fine i just had to tape my left ear cup to the rest of the headphones with Scotch Tape

thats weird i thought they were supposed to be pretty durable? i had my sonys for 5 years never broke until recently they became extremely distorted and the left ear cup would just cut out.

excercyst · Apr 16th, 2006, 10:41 PM

So everybody actually managed to submit a mix?
Wow, that must be a new record.

Good luck everyone.

DI Revolution · Apr 16th, 2006, 11:04 PM
