Do you hear babies crying? The idea of a remix contest is to find the most creative, most talented DJ. They are looking for a DJ that can take any chunk of audio and edit it into a working loop or audio file and create an outstanding mix. If they gave us pre-edited loops and samples that anyone could drop into GarageBand they would have everyone and their brother entering the contest. They are "weeding out the chaff". They want serious DJs. All the files for the Soul On Ice Remix Contest were in rough cut .mp3 format and that contest delivered some amazing mixes. Many of which I still listen to today. 320kbs mp3 files are by no means "unusable". You are going to see some amazing remixes made in this contest and we are going to see DJs that work magic with these mp3 files. So anyone entering better be willing to get creative, work hard and bring their "A" game. Good luck to all of you, Jonathan

Anyone thinking that the bitrate alone determines the usability of (MP3) files in music production reveals exactly how much they know about music production. It's not just the notorious file gaps, but the compression too.

No doubt, but it isnt very professional of the contest admins to supply only MP3 files. Jon, do you think they will find a winner with a rough remix demo, then give him the wave files for a proper remix? Is that how it works? It's the only way to get out of this contest and be reputable (in terms of creating the contest).

timing wise any producer with a decent bit of software kit can get around the mp3 timing issue by importing as an audio track, then using whichever software(acid, fl studio, logic, etc) you use and putting it in place by hand, may take a bit of fiddling about but I got mine to work at 118 BPM and by sliding it a few bars into place first. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Kamm To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 8:56 PM Subject: [Yello] Yello - Bostich remix wav Do you hear babies crying?

Sure, you can find workarounds that result in approximations, but it's a bit like buying a car that only steers to the left and to the right but not straight forward, although you can always rebuild the steering mechanism yourself and get something that works :-) Greetings from Glenn Folkvord Chief editor http://www.PlanetOrigo.com http://twitter.com/planetorigo Sci-fi movies | Electronic music

Strictly speaking, I don't know of any "professional" remixing that's done with compressed sources. Everything gets decompressed, for it is only with 'raw' audio bits that the greatest amount of control & the least amount of latency can be accomplished. Working with compressed audio of any kind is adding an additional layer of I/O to your system, where every additional CPU cycle counts towards underruns. Performance is key with this sort of work, and software. And so, again, it is indeed completely unprofessional to provide only compressed audio. I concur with Glenn: This is gimmick. This is marketing. This is fluff. It's not worth the effort - to go to all the creative trouble just to, what? Win a CD and have to surrender all rights to my work? No *real* remixer's going to touch it, and no hopeful's going to get Jack Shazbat but reamed by megacorporate music. All that said, they DO provide at least 320kbps mp3s - at least there's some quality there for the decompressing - I've seen 128kbps mp3s provided elsewhere - even low-q WMAs once - the very height of comedy! Or the very height of a great opportunity, according so _somm_ on this list. --gcr
