Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

[QUOTE=tomofreeze;896578]Mate, are you being serious? take the time to read the rest of the thread. It was practical at the time.[/QUOTE]I have read and participated in this whole thread, and I want to know who earth it was practical for ?? Cos it never was for us :lol: How can it possibly be practical to be given a file that no one can play ?? :lol: It says something for the people who donated that they have persevered. :)

As it turns out it was worth it. But some of the gloss was removed by the initial frustration. It's still a great idea, and thank you ! :D Just could/should be implemented a little better. :)

Btw Seeing you are recording Lee, we would really love it in 320 mp3 please ;) If you need help just ask :lol:

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

To be honost, i prefer this style of set from Danny more so then his more mellow ones i have got. This one along with his Darkbeat Melbourne 08 sets are the 2 i enjoyed most.

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

I think tomofreeze meant the ogg format was practical for them ... maybe it was simply recorded in that format or the tech dude decided it was the best format ... ogg is suppose to have better quality than mp3 at similar file sizes.

I did read the whole thread and its still impractical... I am not going to argue but if the whole world has settled on mp3 then it would make sense to use that. I have never in my life heard of ogg until now. To download a separate piece of software so that I can listen to a sound file i just downloaded is impractical no matter how you look at it. haven't really had time to play the whole thing yet...only first hour or so...so far so good.

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

the recording device probably just did it in ogg.

anyway, the ogg sounds great on my home stereo: [IMG]http://img.funtasticus.com/2008/june/mostexpensivestereo0807/most-expensive-stereo-002.jpg[/IMG] MP3s are for school children and peasants.

So Burridge is doing a similar thing? That would be sweet.

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

Why are you guys giving this dude such a hard time? Its obvious he had no idea waht ogg was and why it converted it to that... he made amends by making an mp3 version... so what gives?

20 minutes taking the time to convert a 4.5 hour howells set for 2 pounds is not that big of a deal guys... should be grateful they are actually releasing it, for a good cause nonetheless..

youve explained in a nutshell bud thank you.

Their was no hidden agenda releasing it in a different format it was just the easiest way to get it out their at the time. Again it's £2 for a 4.5 hour mix and all the money goes to a charity that affects bilions of people around the world so lay off hey guys.

Yes lee is allowing us to record his set at our night on the 30/10/10

If he had worked with us rather than giving bullshit excuses I wouldn't have said anything. Saying it is for charity and it's cheap is not an excuse for incompetence. We come here for the music, not for lessons in converting what is to us obscure sound formats. As I said it's the attitude.

It's just the way charities work. If there was nothing it in for you as well you wouldn't be doing it. It's a great PR exercise. Although you seem to be squandering that. And the annoying thing is the charity will be missing out because for some it is just too difficult and they will just be getting it from friends. Which also means it is far more likely to end up in public hands. :(

Again, great idea, poor implementation .

After paying you get directed to a page with a link to a Soundcloud page ...

You guys are getting waaaaaay too caught up in this. Sure it comes in a different format, but we have a 4.5 hour set from Howells, we donated to a charity ... come on ... I really don't know what the big deal is, especially when there're [URL="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=convert%20ogg%20to%20mp3&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai="]heaps of information via Google[/URL].

Plus the guy is a techno-noob, he didn't have a hand in the actual recording of the set or setting up the payment, he simply got handed an ogg file.

Are you sure? It seems to me that not many people are willing to pay for good music. It shows less than 150 downloads of this set on the download page, really disappointing.

when they got back to me with the link they said they were at about 12k... also, the competition is i guess like a raffle for Danny's turntables and other stuff, so people might be donating but not specifically for the set like i did.. either way i think it's a great idea for a fundraiser best of luck to them...

#1422028Post 113 of 163

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

this set is insanely good. different strokes, but i'm with those who likes to hear danny play harder like this rather than more mellow.

The 12k is what we have raised all together so far, we have done a charity skydive which raised 10k for Macmillian. The winners from the comp will be drawn from the people who download the mix etc..

Re: Danny Howells Full Dig Deeper set @ Freeze Liverpool for Macmillan Cancer support

so im guessing from the lack of any kind of new post or thread that Burridge's set from the 30th is a lost cause?
