jonmitz posted:

there is no way this is serious.

FIrst of all I want to point out the mix is around 95% in key (I have the keys written down for all of my songs).

As for my levels, as far as I'm concerned they are fine, in a five hour mix you're going to have a few blips here and there.
I spent so much time in the past setting up everything on my computer's input (I use audio hijack pro in case anyone is interested - it basically has a 10x10 rack for effects and gains/eqs and other nice stuff), it also monitors both the RMS input and peak input, and it's set up so it never clips, so any "vocal" volume problems you've had were either with whatever equalizer you had set up on your mp3 (if you did), the fact that you use some lovely headphones or a lovely mp4 player, or the track itself wasn't mastered well enough for your golden ear.

Once I'm done recording the mix I do some post processing to any other minor problems that I find.

I honestly think you listened to my mix and tried to find a problem, so you did in your own mind.

For the record I'm not a Markus fan - I'm going to assume that his year-end mix shared a lot of tracks with mine or something since you brought it up. I just want to point out that all these tracks were 100% selected by me, I don't use DJ charts or DJ mixes to choose my songs.

First of all, just my reading the tracklist I can tell you this is something I wouldnt normally download, simply because half the tracks arent even from 2009 (by my count it is 5? - it could be higher, I'm not going to look all the tracks up).

I can see that it is a liveset - so in the future you should try a but harder to make a competitive set (in (at least) two ways):

1. You average just over 6 minutes per song, which is absurd for a live set - in the future I'd recommend practicing mixing faster, and no, it isn't easy. In comparison most of my mixes are around 3-4 minutes per song so it doesn't ever drag on or get boring - for example that 5 hour mix you replied to is about 4 and a half minutes per song - in a 5 HOUR mix.

2. You simply need to play more new tracks. You can't say "well it's a liveset." It's okay to drop an old or a classic song every now and then, but when over half of the songs you're playing are old (and by old I don't mean classics (songs people would recognize) - they're simply just old tracks that arent especially groundbreaking or exciting) you're simply not doing your job as a DJ.

Your mixing is really slow, and you don't really do anything interesting (only intro/outro mixing). When you only mix intros and ourtros it doesnt even matter if the tracks are in key. Your beatmatching is acceptable, not particularly good. That's about all I have to say - if you were a DJ in a club here I probably would have left the room not too long after you went on.

dont take critiquing very well, do ya buddy?

A. you use a 10x10 for mainroom trance, you master your mixes, you run post processing, then drop it to 128 kbps for download?? who's full of poo poo now?

B. new tracks? really? thats your tightest complaint? lame. I didn't listen to either of your mixes to be honest, because i find that type of music a giant loving snorefest, but "new" doesn't seem to mean "different" in either of your respective genre's.

C. dude, you're giving him poo poo as a dj for mixing? and only after the fact that he gave you a bit of poo poo? sooooouuuurrrr grapes. i do some mixes that only last 30 seconds and i slap out of them, i still don't think that makes someone a bad dj. Not everyone has gotta rinse it out for 15 loving minutes.

D. Lastly:

Stay classy Jonmitz.

I will say that this place does play techno on occasion so it's definitly not a lost cause, however the Saturday night dj plays top 40.

As a rule of thumb for my current move to the bars, I'm planning on dropping in a few popular techno tracks ie daft punk etc to get the people on the floor, but I'm certainly not trying to play to the typical college bar crowd. Most likely I'll be working the off nights, or the gay bars where techno reigns supreme.

I do appreciate the advice, and will certainly try to make it to some off hour nights to see how my type of music is recieved, but from what I can tell from blasting deadmau5 on the streets from my 2k dollar car system people definitly like dance techno atleast in moderation.

Fake edit: I'll post that mix whenever I get done with it.

ok, you want to play psy/trance/buttrock/whatever? go nuts, but you play it to people that weren't coming out looking for it, and you're going to be disappointed.

Example: I play some straight up "guns in the air/I get money" poo poo, but i wont play it to the white fratboys.

re "techno" slap fight and electronic music genres in general, i found this guide:

http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/

It's a spatial guide that shows what genre was descended from another, what influenced what, when it came into prominence, etc., and it has audio samples for each. The descriptions are snarky and a bit lacking, though.

jonmitz posted:

People already said it, but ishkur's guide is the biggest piece of poo poo ever.

Anyways:
Your best bet to figure out the genres is to just go through different sites (beatport, http://www.vinyl-distribution.nl/ , etc etc) and just go through the genres. Obviously everything isnt in the right place, but you can get a good general idea. The most important thing is to learn the major genres (In my opinion: House, techno, and trance). Once you figure out what those are over time you can figure out the sub genres. Some people will get very at you if you cant figure out what the difference between house, electro house, and electro is, but as far as what is important to you [you being someone who is reading this and is a newcommer to the 'scene'] is to know what is is you're downloading (example: for mixes in this thread) and what you're getting into when you go to a club.

From there, over time you will breakdown genres into their sub/minor genres. (For example Electro House, Psy Trance, etc). And you can mix the genres (Tech House, Tech Trance, etc). And you can get and say a song is "electro-techno disco-house"

There are forms of electronic music that don't involve any of the major genres (dubstep). Personally, I would argue that 'indie dance/blog house' doesnt really fit under house and is it's own genre (wether it will die out in a few years or become 'major' is yet to be seen)

I guess to answer your question in a simpler (summary of above) form: Here is a basic 'guide' (or a "what do to do learn the genres"):
1. Go to beatport
2. Listen through some of the genres (my advice: House, Trance, and Techno)
3. Listen to enough that you can differentiate between them
4. Repeat 1-3 for a few different sites
5. After you do all that, repeat but replace step 2 with subgenres. You can start at beatport by doing tech house, electro house, progressive house, and psy trance, but if you really want to break it down try other sides (i.e. http://www.vinyl-distribution.nl/)

There is no one website or ~~stupid~~ flash guide that will be able to tell you what the genre lines are.

The reason I'm recommending you start at beatport is that it is what a large majority of people use, so what they say is electro house may not be the same as some underground dj in the middle of nowhere, it is pretty close to what the average fan/dj/clubber will associate their genres.

this is only my opinion and EDM discussion/communities seem to have the biggest problems consolidating as to what is what.

It would be nice to have a guide/description that everyone could agree upon so we could add it into the OP or something (?)

edit: I see that archie already posted pretty much this

e2: I'm going to compile what everyone has to say on this and put it in the OP since the question as to what genre is what comes up all the time

orrrr you could just listen to what you like, get a feel for the specific sound that appeals to you from whats out there, and ask questions about other genres.

or take a month and do it the jonmitz way!

Notebook posted:

Why is it bullshit? Take it down a notch there, tiger. He gave some great advice, just because you disagree with his methods doesn't mean it's bullshit or that yours is better. You could have easily suggested your way without looking like a 'sperging baby.

what are you talking about "sperging"? learn the definition of the word before you bandy it about.

Basically jonmitz rolls through these threads trying to teach everyone how to be an "industry dj", and even gets that wrong.

The way to latch on to any music is to let it come organically. you think i got to know bmore club backwards and forwards by taking a long weekend and researching it like a term paper? No. I simply let my knowledge of it grow slowly with the more that i listened to, and the better i got to know the artists.

If you go back to 1999/2000 when i first started hitting the decks, i was a ucking mess. I was bouncing all over genres, i didn't know what i was doing, and i couldn't keep a "flow" to save my life. within about a year i figured out what i was doing, and started playing straight up Gabber with some industrial/"insert-Xcore-genre-here" poo poo mixed in.

Now here we are 10 years later and I'm playing straight up club music. do you think that happened overnight by following the bullshit jonmitz system of finding one or two genres, and trying to IMMERSE yourself in it, while igoring everything else? of course not. that not only makes you a boring loving DJ in my books, it makes you a boring loving person.

You want my advise, find a bunch of blogs that post DJ mixes, or even a thread like this, follow them, download what they put up, listen to the mix, and if you like the music, congrats. it's another weapon in your crate.

Haha yup that's him. I've never seen a DJ more drunk/not able to handle his being drunk and spinning than him. I'll check your mix of course though cuz you gotta rep for the junglist crew.

I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine

Well, sometimes I wanna let my friends listen to this awesome song. Hold on. Hold on. It's an hour long. alright let me find it. Oh, oh oh, think I'm here. Ah crap I skipped it. drat I missed it again. Oh, here it is.

back in the day people used to put cue points in, but it's really fallen out of practice. I just dont do it because its too much drat work.

just to put this in perspective, 1.5 years ago i had one residency and was only playing once a month.

this month I play every friday/saturday. I also am going to be playing every Thurs/Fri/Sat through the winter thats to new residencies. I also may as much DJing those three days as i do at my stuffy office day job.

the trick for me was to HUSTLE like crazy. meet other DJs get a small crew going, and just talk to bar owners. dont expect to get anything prime-time right away, but go in prepared, go in confident, and preferably with a partner (having someone to play off of helps).

If this keeps up, by this time next year I'm ONLY going to be DJing. no more day job for me

go ahead and book your own shows, but for the love of christ, NEVER work for free!

you're not only doing a disservice to yourself, but every other DJ in your hood.

if you're playing some niche poo poo, yeah. go nuts. play for free because the chances of you making money is low.

if you're playing straight up house, hip hop, and other styles of club music. there is ZERO reason to play for free.

I think the main point is that i dont play a ton of EDM, i play hip hop and bmore so i can actually get into the big clubs around here.
