10 Year Mix Project

Mixers, to celebrate 10 years of b00mb0x bong and I invite you to take part in a very special collaboration.
Bong will be taking submissions of mini-mixes lasting twenty minutes or less and collating them into 1 or more larger mixes for release in February. Let’s all show off our collective talents!
The folder is on the FTP entitled “10 Year Mix Project Folder”. Closing date is 24th of this month. Please ensure the filename contains your mixer name and is preferably in wav format. That’s it, just fill the 20 minutes with what you feel like!
Thanks,
naz
Edit: Increased maximum time from 10 to 20 minutes.
to be honest i’d prefer the submissions to be in WAV format if possible..
in addition any film/tv/narrative vocal sample snippets will be welcome too..
so come one.. come all
i look forwards
Thanks very much to bmbx, one of the coolest sites with a plethora of great mixers. This site puts to shame the notion that you must be well known to put together a great mix. The mixes on this site are usually better than anything you can buy. Thanks Naz, Bong , et al . Can’t wait to hear the contributions. Plus, a 20 minute format makes it easier since I know plenty of people have mixes they wanted to do but lacked the tracks for a full mix.
10 years! Unbelievable! When I dropped on the box three years ago it was completely new to me. Beginning at Z I wanted to listen through all the mixes up to A. Well, you can imagine, I gave up. But I found a bag of gems and I’m sure that there are still waiting lots of them to be discovered. Are those who created this place still on board? Whoever they might be, I admire their initiative and I need to express my thankfulness to those who continue it. As far as I see there is no comparable site, accordingly open to different styles, different ways of mixing, appreciating straight tunes as well as strange sounds. Big thanks to all of you who make this possible!
nice.on it now !
Great idea – starting to put something together – is there going to be a brief 10 year history ting? It could be a simple timeline spanning the 10 years of bmbx etc
who knows!
you might 😉
time will tell or bagpuss sees all things
whichever one u prefer
:Mrgreen: 😈
ya ten years, a long time. briscoe – i think you came onboard in 02? well done all.
10 years eh? It must have been pretty boring here for the first few years waiting for them to invent the Internets.
Congrats to everyone involved. I’ve been hanging around here for almost exactly 5 years I reckon – posted my first mix on 16th Jan 2005.
I’ve got so much out of the b0x since I found it. Discovered loads of great music first on people’s mixes. And the mixes themselves – so good.
I’ll try and contribute something but the deadline is close. If I don’t make it, I’m sure I’ve got a few fun tv and radio samples lying around I could send in.
Thanks everyone… for everything *Group hug*
go for it edward.. and anyone else for that matter 😉
lets push the deadline out two weeks?
mega! 2 more weeks would be better for me, cos i’ve been quite busy and not actually gotten round to creating anything yet! hehe
Extra 2 wks is a great idea, I’m struggling to pull the proverbial finger out meself. Let’s go to work…
Sounds like a great idea, i’ll get a 20 min mix to you asap but need to sort my ftp details out as cant log in 🙁
Hi, which way it works then? Shell I upload it on my FTP and give you access to download it, or you have FTP dedicated to this idea. Can you provide details then, please? Cheers.
hi.. you’ll need to upload it to the bmbx http://ftp.. ftp info is received via messaging (pm) the siteops with a request for ftp details
http://b00mb0x.org/b00mforum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=176
This is actually very motivating to me.
Working up a cool section now.
🙂
done my twenty min slot… going to do a few sound checks.. then will upload it tomorrow – the wave is 209.8 MB – will have to upload from work… is this ok bong? file not too large etc.
200mb or so fer 20mins wav iz the norm 😉
laffin lad.. get it up’d
cheers fellas – I never miss out on a celebration 😉
get the bucks fizz out 😈
phew, i put the 20min mix on my phone to listen on route from my 2nd home (long story easily explained with one word “Divorce”) and it was clipping but no worrys its all good in the hood..
hope you enjoy guys/gals
sound checked while decorating – now uploaded 😉
This may be obvious, but I have to ask –
On Jan 15/16 there was discussion of pushing the due date out 2 weeks. Response was positive, but a specific new date wasn’t mentioned.
Did the due date get extended, and if so to when?
I’ve pm’d siteops for updated details on the ftp and am waiting to hear back. hopefully I still have time to upload.
Thanks.
end of the month, 31st january
the mix won’t be getting up’d till mid feb(ish)
big thanks to everyone who’s up’d their bits
maybee now would be a nice time to see who’s still wanting to contribute..
so if you are one of them and are reading this gimme a holla here, so i can have a sort of idea of who’s left..
Hi Bong! If you can accept two short pieces of about 5 minutes each I would be glad to upload them.
I’ll upload a minimix in a few days…
for sure der.. lash them up.. they’ll prob make a coupla nice bridges
Tiz been QUITE a while… 8(0)… Been around a bit, but been into other things… as usual…!!
D/Led a few over the last year, but using a pre-paid wireless can be slightly costly in Peanut terms… Oh well… Tuf bikkies huh…!! LMFARO
Not been around too much this yr, & havin krakt the halfway cycle a few days ago. I still got some grey matter left after the weekend… Bonus…
NAZ.. Can you email the ftp details please… (or I’ll use ya namesakes auto repairs sign as the album cover……… LOL
I’m hoping to have one ready for the 31st bong. Fingers crossed.
I’m trying to get something together but it’s hard to decide what to put on a 20-min mix, especially for such a momentous occasion 🙂
just a bitta fun fella, doesn’t have to be 20mins either.. anything from 1 minute up to 20 is sound.. let the decks guide you
I just up’d my twenty. Can’t wait to see what this will all turn into!
Am i still allowed to up a mix for feb?
yes
Just got mine recorded in the nick of time, listening back to it now but I think it’s OK, how strict is the 20 mins maximum? It’s only three tunes but it runs to 21 mins!
no worries lad.. im sure the extra minute won’t harm 😉
Upped. Looking forward to hearing the final thing!
Just back from my hols today and still not mixed yet. Will try to get something done tomorrow or give up. Hope that’s not too late.
yes it’s cool
wont be starting proper on it til wednesday.. so get mixing you straglers 😉
the folder is now closed. a massive thanks to everyone who has submitted.. lots of hours to go thru.. so i’ll be hoping to create probably one huge mp3 of it as a continous mix (maybee 7 hours long)
and also split into bite size parts comprising of 3 dj’s a piece
and anyone who’s contacted me previous saying something is on it’s way that’s fine but as soon as one can please..
Thanks Bong, I’ve done as much of a mix as I’m going to get sorted in time and PMed you with a download link.
Ed
thanks lad
i’ll get onto it proper tomorrow
10 years huh… WOW..!!! Where’d the time go..?? Can also find my stuff [& all d/l’d from here] through audioGnome, User name is Pavil. Into smaller mixes here as have to “entertain” an Interstate Driving brother [& nieces/nephews]..
AND Australia now has “censored” internet services, as posted in local newspaper this morning… So much for free speech etc.!!
bah! Had such a busy week, well few weeks actually. Would love to add my twopenneth cos I f***in’ LOVE this place.
I heard the deadline was extended to tomorrow so was planning to get it together tonight and post it before dawn.
Fingers crossed this’ll be OK bong.
