Calling out: Atomisk

[DJNR]

I'm sick of his bullshit. He talks so much smack and is a jerk to everybody on this forum. Similarly, he considers himself qualified to talk shit on other DJs of the forum. I am calling out Atomisk for an Electro House + Progressive house + dubstep battle.

Let's see if you are as good as you say, Atomisk.

Rules:
- 30-45 minute mix
- electro house, progressive house, and dubstep
- no post editing
- no sync (although hes too "pro" not to use it)
- gotta use decks (not ableton for example). Controllers are fine.

Upload it whenever you want, it will just need to be up by next Saturday.

The banning is extreme, as I read this forum quite often (look at my posts). The battle is really only serving the purpose of qualifying your skills. If you really want to have stakes (other than bragging rights), just keep posting and I'll let you know if I agree. Keep in mind we have four people participating, so I don't know how "loser gets banned" would work anyways.

Oh yeah dude I know, I used to be on DJF a lot... I think I had over 3k posts before the servers went down. As for "loser gets banned", I guess we can make that apply to only us. Or maybe something like "loser gets pittsey's rep"?

PS: You know I'm trolling whenever I talk shit on other DJs right? If you read DJf so much you should probably know this by now haha.

Also, as for what we can use in the rules, it should be changed to simply computer (everything goes, no post editing) or no computer. I feel like that'd make more fair.

No voting for your own mix. It ruins the anonymity because people who haven't voted can see that. Besides, winning a battle by your own vote is like kissing your sister.

I don't know this kid. And I'm out if it's video recorded. Obviously public opinion will be with DJNR and that'd completely destroy the purpose of this battle and turn it into a popularity contest.

[DJNR]

Well Hausgeist already said it couldn't be video recorded. I don't care if it is or isn't to be honest. The video bit was really just to make sure that neither of us cheated in any way.

Eh well you have my word I won't cheat. Are we doing just CDs now or what? I feel like it'd be much more fair to say no computers in any way (besides uploading and recording).

i propose you two send the video recordings to a third party for verification and upload after the battle concludes. loser gets a 30 day ban. :tup:

Well unfortunately I don't own CD players and I use Traktor as my medium. You can use it too if you would like. If I remember correctly you use/used Traktor anyways.

By the way, it's probably a better idea spending time on your mix rather than posting on my fan page:

No, I don't use Traktor anymore. CDs vs. Computer would be so unfair.

Also, if you have a problem with the way I act, talk to me. Challenging me to some silly online DJ battle isn't gonna change shit. If you think that conflict will get you the changes you want, you're obviously much more immature than you claim I am.

[ilya]

No, I don't use Traktor anymore. CDs vs. Computer would be so unfair.

i totally agree with this. and hey, you know, given that you're on cds and he's on traktor you better make sure he's following the manual beatmatching rules too. both of you upload videos and send it to an independent third party for verification or stfu.

loser gets 30 day ban. comon fellas get it on!

[DJNR]

No, I don't use Traktor anymore. CDs vs. Computer would be so unfair.

Also, if you have a problem with the way I act, talk to me. Challenging me to some silly online DJ battle isn't gonna change shit.

So you're telling me you won't battle me unless I don't use Traktor? I don't really see how that would be unfair, especially considering that majority of the DJs who use a DVS are worse off than those who posses the skills to use CDJs alone. I would see if I can get my hands on CDJs, but that might take a little while as I only know one person who owns a pair and he lives about an hour away.

The point of this battle isn't to settle any personal dispute we've had, because in reality we haven't had any. The point of the battle is instead to see whether or not you are as skilled as you act. In response to your silly DJ battle comment, posting on my facebook isn't going to solve anything either.

[Atomisk]

I'm down for 30 day ban. However the video doesn't solve any problems. It'd still be very easy for NR to fake beatmatching or work around all the rules we're trying to set up. As for CDJs vs. Traktor - I want to stick to one medium because using different mediums brings out different skills. Part of your claim against me is that I have no skill and rely on Traktor to mix for me. I believe that sticking to CD players would bring out the best fundamentals of both of us, and not give us the option to rely on software to cover our mistakes. tl;dr CD players = better way to define the skill of a DJ.

And if this battle isn't to determine a personal dispute, I'll just upload a video to youtube right now or stream on stickam to satisfy you. And again, please read your wall. Message me on facebook or skype (adf5145), I'd like to talk to you. As much as I troll, I'm also a very understanding and reasonable person - I'd like to discuss your thoughts of my actions on this board, and work towards a solution for the both of us.

Verification of beat matching? Then people vote on the best mix right? I'm okay with that, we just gotta ask an admin if that's okay to do. This battle is becoming quite an ordeal, I don't know why it can't just proceed normally like the other ones.

Not at all. All you have to do is line up the original mix in Ableton, and recreate it (fx, transitions and all) in Live, where you can adjust all the fades and cuts in the automation clips, thus making the mix "perfect". It looks like this:

What do you guys think of using the Flanger in a mix?
I think it adds to the build up of tracks but sometimes too much can be overkill.

flanger is an effect that ppl used when the pioneer mixer was popular and it got wayyyyyyyy overused. it sucks, i hate it and will never use it. i think it sucks.

I meant that it's only feasible if you're recording a video of you doing the mix live. In that case you could use Serato Bridge to record the playback into an Ableton file to perfect after the fact. That way you still have a video proving you did the mix AND you have a perfected mix.

I've used the bridge with my 57SL and it works fine...but the Ableton file is MASSIVE and takes up ever ounce of RAM that my 2 year old MBP has. It's a cool idea, but it's far too taxing and is really only useful if you're in a rush and need to perfect a mix for radio or other commercial ventures.

[Atomisk]

what audio quality to preserve? as long as u use quality tracks there is no "audio quality" to preserve.

Running the tracks through the whole mixer signal chain degrades quality, as well as un normalizes some of the peaks. When you can do it like this is practically like having the original wavs in your mix. It's also much easy to control peak loudness. I'm too lazy to explain it all right now.

EDIT: Here's the difference in peak levels between a mix done in Ableton and a mix recorded in Traktor. (inb4 clipping hard on top, I know for a fact everything is hitting 0 db)

This, some people dont realise how much quality is lost each time you plug it into a different box. when ts going through cdj to mixer to effect machine to laptop mic/line in, you're ynot going to get anything near the quality of what Atomisk is saying.

Exactly. The issue isn't just the peaks, but the fact that each mixer processes sound different and HAS to change the sound. Take your favorite song, play it through your mixer, record it, and listen to it again on your computer (Through the line out, NOT running through your audio interface and mixer). Cross reference it with the original recording. You'll be amazed. Even top quality DJ mixers will change the sound in some way.

[Kingbob182]

it's kinda like downloadng a track in 320k, ulploading it to youtube, converting that to mp3, downloading it again, uploading that to soundcloud, ripping that and then holding your phone up to you speaker to record audio an expecting it to still be 320k

did too much of this

[ben mills]

video mix imo, too easy to fake the beatmatching.

Great idea. In general, I think all battles should be video mixes - you can tell a lot more by watching and listening than by just listening.

This holds more true for deck/manual beatmatch guys, perhaps.

[Gnozis]

+1 for video mix. I remember on V1.0 Nick Bike and other guy did a video mix battle and it was epic.

[DJNR]

As I said before, Atomisk and I already agreed to no video recording. It doesn't preserve the anonymous nature that battles are supposed to have.

edit: Similarly, people could count us out of a vote simply for spite.

[Nick Bike]

too much posting not enough mixing

No Kingbob, you're comparing colouring to generation loss. Just no. :facepalm:

you just hard limit and add normalization to the file...and its fixed. you can always fix volume issues.

Ok, just shoot video and send it to each other. You aren't voting so Automisk and DJNR can watch each others video to prove no one is cheating but still remain anonymous to the voters, and I won't judge either too harshly for a little loss in quality due to understandable circumstances.

[DJNR]

For the last time, there will be no video segment.

[drumpusher]

Take this condescending, patronising, 'Guys I r jus trollin' when corrected pulling little dickhead down DJNR.

Looking forward to seeing teh videos. If only just to see how fat Atomisk has got lately :love:

volume does not equal quality. increasing it will do nothing

you guys sure know how to hype things up. I should hire both of you for my events. Cant wait to see the videos

yeah man. these videos are gonna be sooo dope.

[Synergy]

no because thats what is done with the mastering on the first track you have shown in ableton. there is no other way to get things flat like that across the top, just because it fills the screen, doesnt mean its quality. :)

[Lionman]

less talky talky





moar mixy mixy

You know nothing about digital audio, do you?
EDIT: I'm gonna correct you so you don't make another ignorant post.
1) There is a difference between peak levels and quality loss. Mixing in Live does two things: a) Eliminates changes in peak levels between songs and b) Gets rid of colouring and noise from the signal chain.

Looking forward to seeing teh videos. If only just to see how fat Atomisk has got lately :love:

nah, that's what this is about. you just somehow turned this into a 'HEY LOOK EVERYBODY I KIND OF KNOW ABOUT AUDIO QUALITY EVEN THOUGH THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO THIS BATTLE LOL I'M SUCH A TROLL'


I'm sick of his bullshit. He talks so much smack and is a jerk to everybody on this forum. Similarly, he considers himself qualified to talk shit on other DJs of the forum. I am calling out Atomisk for an Electro House + Progressive house + dubstep battle.


edit: you can still be fat even if you're a d1 athlete

You bastards. #175 posts I read and the best post on here is tea saying this battle has lost all meaning.

People who are commenting on recording and having 3rd party verify was just to preserve integrity of each others sets. Not everyone has to see the videos. Stop whining, do the damn mixes, let us vote, and ban the loser :D

since both of them have weaseled out of battling, we might as well turn this into a circlejerk for d1 athletes.

What are you talking about? THE BATTLE IS STILL HAPPENING

The reason this thread has lost its meaning is because everyone turned this thread into a shit-show featuring your own spite against Atomisk. If you have a problem with it, stop posting dumb stuff and stop feeding the troll.

Let me reiterate: I am in the midst of finals week, I will have a mix up NEXT Saturday, there will be no video mix.

[Atomisk]

Mods, Can we please close this topic? I really hope DJNR will agree with me - Nothing productive has come out of this topic in the last 18 pages. The only constructive conversation relevant to this battle was in DJNR's OP and our talks via IM. Now it's basically just everyone getting mad cuz I'm troll level 9001.

[oliosky]

Good call Andy
