Can't find a simple five-word subject, so:

I'm a fan of techno and trance, and love listening to continuous mixes. Therefore, with the aid of AudioCatalyst (in CD->Wav mode), BeatCounter, Cool Edit Pro, and a few odds and ends (Excel) I have put together the first in what I hope will be a series of mixes done digitally and 'in the studio' rather than life from (CD) turntables.

I am moderately proud of the result. I'm gradually perfecting both the blending of two tracks into one another (by stretching/compressing the time of the 'lower' track without altering the pitch) and the choice of music. The process I use allows me to have extremely long fade times - two to three minutes where you can quite clearly hear both tracks - and synchronise the two tracks perfectly to ensure interesting features occur together. The current "PaulWay Infinity Mix" stands at about 200 minutes of continuous music. I'll be compiling shorter mixes for CD-length and other projects.

If anyone is interested in listening to them, the first two installments (0:00 to 93:40 and 93:40 to 201:45) are 87 and 102 megabytes respectively at 128kbit (with the Fraunhofer encoder). These are ludicrously impractical to email, and I don't have a spare FTP site around, so if you want them please suggest a place to upload them. (This I can do from my 2mbit connection at work, but I have nowhere to store them that's accessible from the outside world :-( ) I'll consider producing CD-Rs containing the two files and a track listing (the two contain about 45 tracks) but I don't want to be producing batch lots of them at my own expense...

(TAN) is standard newsgroup nomenclature for a post tangential to the usual topic of conversation, by the way.

Please reply to paulway@powerup.com.au.

Well, I'm interested.

If noone here with a Linux box can give them a semi-permanent home, I'd be glad to set up an FTP server on my Mac with a good network connection for a week or two.

Just to follow up the progress in the last couple of days.

I'm going to upload the full Infinity Mix so far to one, maybe two, sites. If people want it from there they can email me to get the exact address and details of a download-only account.

This music is still copyrighted and as such it shouldn't actually exist. I'm doing this not as an attempt to shaft the record companies but merely as an experiment and to let people hear new music. This means:
  1. Whatever you do with it, it's not my responsibility (as far as that goes). Don't get my name into things and keep it quiet.
  2. Don't ask for any other MP3 files for trade or whatever. If you must, use Napster, for Ahltman's sake.

Further details as I get organised and get to a reasonably speedy net connection.

The mix starts from around 130BPM, climbs steadily to "Bring Your Mind Back Home" at 174BPM, and back down again to 134BPM. Those who like that sort of thing can play "Spot The Australian Dance/Techno Bands".

The mix, in its preliminary two parts, is available now courtesy of Dionysius. I will be emailing people the URLs. As before, if you want a copy, email will be the only way I'll tell you where it is - and I'd like that wish to be respected.

More in the future (as always).
