Wow! It's pretty hard to Judge a set.... don't want to call people bad mixers or something...
I've now Judged 6 mixes and it was really hard, but there are some nice marks!

Keep up the good work guys!

My mix is also online now, so feel free to post your comments

Hmm, the Pulser remix of Sunlight is a pretty decent track I think

1 day left to upload your mix

Glad to see that there are already so many mixes upped to a server

Damn...I had a set already made and upped...is it possible to still join...or will I have to wait for the next contest?

DJ Name: DJ Resemo

No sorry, too late is too late, better luck next time.

I wasn't talking about that..I meant...how's the final verdict gonna go..how's the winner gonna be picked??

Cheers

We take the average of the posted scores. The set with the highest average will win the contest.

Important message about giving feedback to a set:

When you post your average or overall score calculate the average of your 4 scores please. Don't post a random average or overall score please.

Thank you

Hmm, shouldn't it be that u must judge ALL sets, not only a few?

You should IMO. The more feedback the better.

I will start judging after I've heard all the sets to give a better feedback because I can compareall the sets this way.

So don't post partial scores then
And also partial votes shouldn't be counted - either judge all sets or none.

That's too complex and too difficult to moderate, If I would add that rule we should better stop the whole judging and start with a jury of some members to judge all the sets.

This is maybe something for the next contest.

^ Haa, so u see it's not easy to make a good contest; next time make sure to think everything carefully

This is the second time that I organise a contest like this, the first one went really good but there weren't much critical users Problem here at UKTA is that it's much bigger with more sets.

But don't worry, I'm glad with all the negative and/or positive feedback about the contest and will do something with the feedback for the next contest. There are already some plans for a new contest but I can't tell you much about it yet

Hehe, better shut up or i'll delete your posts

And seriously, i just want this contest to be sensible etc.

Same here, but I just don't know how I can force anyone to judge all the sets. If I would only take the scores of users who have judged all the sets there wouldn't be much to judge. There wouldn't be even a score ATM, no one has judged all the sets so far.

i think there should be a jury where every single member listens to every single set

It should be made like in the tranceaddict forums...some ppl apply for being a judge and those ppl who applied dl all the sets and the winner is picked from their reviews...cuz someone could judge just one set...and that could make the difference... .

If u decide that though...I'm applying for a judge...

well how about if u only takes the judges of people who rated all set´s ???

just to be fair

Well I will try and rate all sets I think next time we should have a set number of jeudges and only allow the people who met teh deadline this time to enter the contest. The number of mixes we have up now is perfect and should be judged by everyone. We should also have 5 people set to judge the mixes (who are not in the contest) thi sway we get a fair unbiased opinion

yea i absolutly agree with ya!!!

Absolutely agree with you, but as already set before this is something for the next contest. I'm glad that you try to judge every set, jusr like I will do.

Well, 2 things:
1. if you are competing in one category, it would look rather weird of you are judging your competitors (and hence influencing their grades), irrespective of your probably good intentions
2. I'm on a download limit, so I can't download every vinyl-mix set

hmm maybe we should have 10 fix judges like Fly, Blackhole.....

and only they can rate the set´s and puplish the results at one time so other votes doesnt influence your opinion..

for example user x said your mixing is bad and gave u 4 points, though user y loves your mixing and would give ya a 10 but he wont because the other one rated your set as bad

clear what i mean?

No, why shouldn't user Y post his real feelings about the set, it's your feedback, you shouldn't be influenced by the feedback of other users.

It seems that Fly's announcement has worked, lots of activity and feedback in this forum. Keep them comming

but i think that quit a lot guys will h8 me because of my critism

Better judge PHg's set well or u'll be banned

Hehe, thats why I ask for feedback, and not only a score

Haven't heard many sets yet so I don't know if your comments are true

yea im really trying to write little short story´s about each score i gave
also i try not to read the comments of others to get no influence

but i really understand now how hard it is to judge i mean u dont want to hurt someone but maybe u have to

Ok here's something annoying about the contest. I've taken the time to rate everyone's set... and look at that nobody's taken the time to rate mine

I was downloading your mix before you posted your reply. Feedback will be posted soon

hehe well it's alright anyways, tommy gave me a rating...

u hate me now???

How did I imply that? I just said you gave me a rating, that's a good thing Ur the only one who has so far.

The only thing is what I've seen with the ratings... people complain alot about "Oh i've heard that track on ASOT before." So basically this is implying, "If i've heard it on ASOT, it can't possibly be put on a tracklist, cause then it's boring." And if that's the case, everyone's set is boring. I think you guys gotta think about that when u judge people's sets.

I really do undersatand most of the ASOT-comments, and why because there are more track than the ones played at ASOT. Must of the people play it safe IMO to put very known tracks into their mixes, tracks that we have heard so many times during ASOT.

ASOT might be the standard for trance ATM but there is so much more to explore.

well ok there are lot sof other tracks but then i can be like omg you're such a precision clone, ur such a global dj broadcast clone, it's pointless, how the hell can you hear the song if it's not played on the radio???

well thats a reason why we should have fix judges, and results should be announced at one time!!!

but well we´r still learing arnt we hehe

though all a matter of taste like evrywhere in life,
remember tiesto did like no one before 1999!!! and now he is nr1 ....
he is still the same person just the taste of others has changed!!!

Maybe for you but not for me

He is number one

Guyz...when is the deadline for review submission?

We gotta make a deadline!!


Cheers
DJ Resemo

Read the sticky topics, people

Agreed i think tiesto is number one hundred and one. lol

Judges...I think we should stop with the ASOT clone crap!!

Everybody has his own style....its not someone's fault that they like the style that Armin plays...after all..ASOT definetly has the best trance tunes around..and everybody likes to play them in their sets.... .

I noticed Tommy is counting the ASOT clones...!! lol

U gotta give credit for ppl...its not their fault they like these tunes...unless every week on DJGB will be an ASOT clone!!

I'm judging Originality by the mixes played in the sets...or if a rare tune is played or something...its not like ppl copy the tracklist of ASOT!!

Just a thought...

Cheers
DJ Resemo

I agree with you!

Some people including me aren't even listnening to ASOT because they have no time for it.

I created my own style by first loving hardcore in the late 90's, than loving hardstyle untill the year 2003 when I heard some superb sets from Cygnus X, Cosmic Gate and Joop at Trance Energy!
My style changed again to uplifting and hardtrance and later when the techtrance came up, I added that style to my collection!

I've heard a lot of sets which were quite simular with my set, Lagrom, Oni and DJ Vision play the same style as I do and I don't even knew these guys before I came here.

A lot of people play the same style, and this competitionrule says that if someone plays ASOT traxx he should get a lower score... it's not fair IMO!!!

Well...we should consider this for the next comp...let everyone play his own style...then let the judges decide if its too ASOT or not..!!


Cheers
DJ Resemo

The rules don't say that you can't play Armin tracks


Just don't copy his sets, of course you can play some of the tracks he has played

Exactly!!

But some ppl think that just by playin' Armin tracks...ur an "ASOT Clone"!!

Cheers
DJ Resemo

Armin plays 500 or 600 different tracks each year... not that much good trance left if you can't use those

Good point there PHg!!


I've now judged almost all mixes and I hope more people will judge my mix as well.. It was maybe not working yesterday or today, that was because of the provider kicked me off because of high bandwith

It works fine now again and I hope more people will check it

The full 80 minutes mix (this is only the first hour) will be availible after the DJ contest. If you want to check the tracklist, click here

Last thing to say: I could not download all mixes, PulsE and Noa mixes were unable to download for me, maybe you guys should check your links!

To all the other guys: you did very great jobs! I've heard some quality mixes and some less quality mixes, but it was all nice to listnen to! Maybe you guys don't know why I don't gave a 1 or a 10, but that's because with a 10 everyting should be perfect and as we are all human, that's just something that's not happening in my eyes! Hope the best for all you guys and good luck in the rest of the contest or in any other contest you're going to participate in
