Last time I drove a car I also needed to steer straight forward. Otherwise I will be going in circles.
But it does look like you are starting to understand what a remix contest is all about. It is like each contestant is building their own car. Beatport supplies some of the parts.
You cant make a good car with faulty parts. It wont be approved by the car testing authorities.
Oh well. Maybe my 10 years in the music biz and putting on a few remix contests didn learn me a thing, and Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter :-)
Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor ============================== My response: Glenn, There is nothing faulty about using high quality mp3 files for a remix contest. The Soul On Ice Remix Contest proved that. It was a huge success and delivered over 300 remixes. Many of which I still listen to and enjoy today. The following quote was taken directly from the contest rules of one of the Beatport remix contests. "The contest is being judged on originality of remix, not sound quality. You do not need to download the WAV files to enter the remix contest, unless of course you want to. If your remix is chosen as a winner, there will be time to have your tracks mastered to highest quality. " . You also mentioned: "Jon will revolutionize the remix concept by offering artists "great" MP3 files hereafter." I don't run remix contests I leave it to the professionals like Beatport, Yello, Depeche Mode, The Black Eyed Peas, Danny Tanaglia, Paul Van Dyke. These people all have strong reputations. I know them and I'm pretty sure they know a little bit more about the music business then you or I.
btw: Steering was put on a car to give it the ability to turn right or left. Even when you are going straight down the road you are actually making tiny right and left steering adjustments to keep the car going straight. Before wheeled vehicles had steering they only went straight. So if your steering wheel turns all the way to the left and all the way to the right there is nothing wrong with the steering. :-) , Jonathan :-) _______________________________________________ Yello mailing list Yello@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello Report list abuse to list-abuse at studio-nibble.com
