whats wrong with making mixtapes without sfx and without starting the track over or bringing a line back? I support and actually buy the cds for full price at rasputins.
As any music business exec in this game, I do appreciate this thread for the fans perspective and feedback. For one, I do believe that a hosting dj shouldn`t try to dominate the project, but should try to make the project whole, complete. Bring it together and make it your delivery style, but don`t over do it. I have never heard a radio dj do it over the air, why do mixtape dj`s feel the need to do it over tracks? Ego maybe? Not sure.
Also, paying full price for promotional material is ridiculous! PERIOD!! A mixtape is used for a dj to promote new artists and cuts to the masses. The key here is PROMOTION. I will NEVER pay 2 peaces of copper for a mixtape. Give it to me to promote, or take your recycled hustle somewhere else.
Just my 2 bucks on the subject. Now where`s my mixtape?!
