Sounds like a cool idea. I'm in. At least it's not an art swap. Nobody wants me to paint anything ever. (trust me)
cult of luna avatar? maybe if i give it 2 weeks and then i can start getting everyone's addresses and pairing people off. then you would have 2-3 weeks to make the mix (with some sweet coverart) and send it out. sound fair?
Any sort of limitations on musical genre? My musical collection is out of the mainstream, but judging by some of the other music-related threads, I'm not too sure how well I 'fit in'...
Yep, my first avatar change since I joined here. Figured it was time. I think that sounds good. We also need to find out if the person we get paired with would prefer an audio or a data CD.
not sure how this is going to go but do you want to just do random people because i would like a cd from everyone involved type of switch i mean is this going go send your mix cd to you then you get a random cd or are you going to compile them onto a dvd data disc
Exchanging data files will be problematic, especially if anyone's music collection came from iTunes. I believe there will be DRM issues...
it doesn't matter what music you're into, that's the whole point. hardcore, noise, jazz, trip hop, whatever. i guess you could send a copy to everyone if you wanted, but that would get expensive with postage since there are people in the US, japan, europe etc. i figured going in random pairs would work best. i think we'll keep it simple and just do audio cd's or a tape, no need for data shit/dvd's/nasa satellites. just a straight up mix.
muxtape sucks and its been down for months now anyway. part of the fun of mixtapes/cd's is the thought put into them by the person and actually receiving them.
Im in!! Johnny Cash, Minor Threat, Morr Music, Bad Brains, Orbital, The Velvet Underground, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Flag, The Carter Family, BDP anyone?????
how about we set our own ftp site? drop them on there? i might have about 500mb free on mine just an idea
Cassettes or NOTHING!!!! Sadly my tape deck set up is in my garage at the moment collecting dust. Making CD's/MP3 mixes just aren't the same. Grumble-old-man-rant.
na, physical media (tape/cd) or bust. takes zero effort/care to upload a bunch of tracks on the net. i've started taking a list of names of dudes who are in, i'll pm you soon for your addresses and then pair everyone up when the 2 weeks is over.
im down for cassette trade off cant beat my old 90 minute tapes that i would actually cut off to try to mix into the next song (stop start stop start)
everyone should just use Pando.com and then you can swap anything you want without spending any money on postage... makes way more sense if you ask me... I find you can send about 3 full length cds in a pretty short amount of time... me and my close friends use this app a lot and it works great...!!! maybe figure out what kind of music each person is into and then go from there... me & selekta have swapped tunes using pando before with no problems and I think it was brooks that sent me the last NIN if I'm not badly mistaken...? anyway, just my two cents...
pando does werk good im all for sending out a mix cd to someone then gettin one in return but it is a lot of time for the person that gets them all to pack and re send plus the money reshipping either way this werks im down
I'd be down for it...hope nobody minds some odd music mixed in with Japanese pop/punk/etc. Are there rules against slipping in a song of our own band/project?
