Umm guys I also want to write down my experience about this contest :mama:
FIRST OF ALL, THANKS FOR THE STAFF, FOR THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY... IT'S REALLY UNIQUE, AND A GOOD CHANCE!
But secondly... I've just wondered how the vote is going... There are a lot of good sets, really.
But guys... about 70% is just a set with 8-9 tracks... IN MY OPINION (!) it's kinda boring
this is also a contest to find talents right?
After a little practising, almost everybody can do a set like that... Seriously... Also I won't say that's more is better... No. Just not 8-9 tracks with basic mixing... I've listened about 30~sets of this year's contest, and there are some really unique. Anton Karpoff for eg. (I don't know the girl/guy. But his/her set is amazing. You guys should listen to it...) Or Double V... also a great set. I didn't had even a minute of boring, while listened to it... And? Anton got 23 votes, Double V a bit more, and they both deserve a place I think... Or Darkployers? He even produce own tracks... ok ok it's not clearly trance... but still great work... And in the top places? (NOTHING AGAINST THESE GUYS! AND SORRY IF IT SEEMS LIKE THAT I HAVE PROBLEM WHIT THEM, CAUSE I DON'T , AND CONGRATULATION FOR THEM TO GET THE PLACES!
)
for eg. trancefan0883, who is a great part of this community, and all the respects to him, but his set is a basic uplift set, with basic mixing (no problem with them
) and 9 tracks... but he got a lot of friends here (which i can understand, really
) But i don't see so much difference between his, and for eg. Double V-s set... Okay it's subjective, but maybe You guys understand, what i want to say.
The point is, in next year i would prefer to get the slots by JUDGES, or by any other system.
And sorry for the long story, just wanted to tell my experience, to help improve (i hope at least
)
And thanks for that again, LOOKING FORWARD TO EOYC 2011 WITH AH.FM
