hanswurst Posted May 22, 2007 Report Posted May 22, 2007 found following text on a cd-cover: cd1 & cd 2 soft mixed /faded by DJ ....... what do you think about adding this attribut to the 2 existing ones: mixed by compiled by faded by ??? Quote
haste Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 No point, that should just be listed as "mixed by" Quote
Bhima Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Any chance it would be possible to include the CDs mixed by someone on their page? For example, Peshay mixed these CDs: http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/renegad...rdings/rrlpcd02 But it doesn't appear on his page so you wouldn't know he mixed them unless you found out from another source... Maybe you could stick them at the bottom of the page after the remixes...? Quote
hanswurst Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Posted May 24, 2007 Compiled by is already an available option. i know,what do you think about adding this attribut to the 2 existing ones: mixed bycompiled byfaded by ???but the reason why i started this topic is that people (especially DJs who has extended their turntable-setup with a cd-deck) can see if a tune is mixable or not. so mixed by would mean: the tunes on this cd are not mixable compiled by + faded by would mean: the tunes on this cd are mixable Quote
thijs Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 I think 'faded by' (which I just think equals bad mixing) should be listed as 'mixed by', which would solve Hans' problem. Quote
hanswurst Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Posted May 24, 2007 I think 'faded by' (which I just think equals bad mixing) should be listed as 'mixed by', which would solve Hans' problem. sorry guys! i know my english is bad! so please try to read my post more carefully. this 'faded by' thing would mean that there are no mixes between the tracks, just fadesrefering this to an artist does not really make sense, i agree for example http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/ruff_teck/ruff057 http://www.rolldabeats.com/release/segundo_mundo/285003_2 and some good looking cds i think are not mix-cd's but there are sometimes fades between the tracks (without an absolute silence) so some of the tunes are not 100% unmixed (not exactly the same acoustic content like on the vinyl version)and the whole release is BETWEEN a mix-cd and a unmixed cd listing it as a mix cd would be wrong but maybe there should be note in the comment field like 'some tunes are slightly faded' !?

haste Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 there are sometimes fades between the tracks (without an absolute silence)This would fall under "mixed by" then Quote
The_Manipulator Posted May 25, 2007 Report Posted May 25, 2007 I would put it under "compiled by".If you take Jonny L's Magnetic CD, the songs also cross over into each other. But that's not "mixed". I think a CD is either mixed or unmixed. If somebody doesn't know how to mix, or doesn't want to mix it, it's just compiled.I mean, come on, "faded by"... even a monkey can do that! I would feel VERY ashamed if I would be credited as having "faded" the CD! Otherwise you need to put remarks on CD's on a track-by-track basis. There are enough CD's where a few tracks are overlapping! Which for example means you can't use it to start or finish a set with! Like a lot of the formation CD's have shortened versions (which I noticed isn't listed... I think New Breed Of Ravers and Highly Recommended have a lot of edits on them). Quote
hanswurst Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Posted May 25, 2007 overlapping tracks but not mixed --> that is the phrase i was not able to write in english thanks to The_Manipulator! thats exactly the information i am missing in the rdb-database! from my point of view this should not be listed as mixed by.if you add a 'compiled by' it says nothing about unmixed or overlapping.maybe you guys are able to find a solution that users can see this information on a release-screen. ok! enough from me. sorry for beeing tedious Quote
Cob Posted June 14, 2007 Report Posted June 14, 2007 I think a comment would be sufficient, something along the lines of 'tracks fade into one another'. Quote
