Preparing You DJ Mixes For The Internet

There's nothing worse than downloading a mix from someone off the internet called mixdown_rendered_v2.mp3. It'll at best sit on my hard drive until I get the time to play it and try and guess who the fuck did it, let alone what tracks are on the mix or at worse be deleted along with my temp files. Additional to that, you upload it to your MP3 player and it disappears quicker than a fart in a hurricane!

I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be this way, using a few free tools on the internet and Photoshop you could make the difference from your mix temporarily living on my desktop to being archived and stuck on my pod/car! This tutorial will not deal with podcasting, mastering, finalising mixes or discuss what's better, MP3 or vinyl, just explain how to prepare your fresh phat mix for upload.

Is DAB Dead?

You most probably got up this morning, late as usual and went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea or coffee. If you had time put, you probably put some bread in the toaster and waited three minutes for it to do it's magic.

The silence was most probably deafening and you turned the radio on to dull the silence and hear what is going on in the world.
