    Acid Pro Mix Help

    Acid pro 7 has been popular for half a decade. There's 6 years of stuff online, just search google and youtube, it's not hard to get the info you need. Alot of times you might need to just watch a video in a different program, and apply the same ideas to acid. VSTs don't change between programs...

    Judging Issues - Important points for teams/organizers

    Thanks Govind, I think it would be very beneficial to collect some of the comments for wider consumption. There seems to be a lot of good info that came from the judges, it would nice to share it. For instance what were the specific vardi deficiencies, what were all the improper execution...

    Judging Issues - Important points for teams/organizers

    The rubric is a bit misleading as only 30 points directly correlate to 'traditional' bhangra, and in that the 10 points of "Authenticity" should probably be gimme points. I can't imagine why any team on that stage would not get a 10/10 in that category. So this comp was traditional in spirit and...

    Modhe Mardha (We Own It Remix)

    I made it initially for the Bhangra Fever 5 mixtape, but didn't end up using it. It's Fast and Furious- We Own It remixed with Bhupinder Gill and Miss Neelum's Modhe Marda. Gets me super hype so I thought I'd share! https://soundcloud.com/swizzee/modhe-mardha-remix If any DJ wants to use it...

    Audience/fans influencing judges

    I would say the relative comparison between teams is unfair, but that we could judge the impact moments/choreo within a single performance. If you have a gimmick and people stop clapping I think it's fair to say that gimmick failed

    A Possible Idea for Judging?

    I discuss general olympic judging here: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/main-bhangra-discussion/ We discuss the specific idea of listing moves ahead of time here: http://bhangrateamsforum.com/discuss/main-bhangra-discussion/which-competition-first-used-judging-deliberation/ In the end...

    Which competition first used judging deliberation?

    Karn, I'm pretty sure I detailed a framework that addresses many of your issues, please take some time to re-read what I wrote: So who's facilitating? Committee is allowing judges to do so. They have the right to either let points stand or allow judges to deliberate. What are they discussing...

    Which competition first used judging deliberation?

    It's really hard to speak abstractly Ankush so I don't want to say anything specific. In general you would like to see judges stay consistent between points and their vote, but at the same time it's not in a vacuum. Judges discuss things, work through concepts and if at the end they change their...

    Which competition first used judging deliberation?

    Another idea i've been kicking around is having a merit-demerits system. Rubric is intact, but describes the weight of each category. Judges note things they like (points) and things they didn't like (demerits). Apply the points and demerits to each rubric category (let's say you can give a...

    How to Sta Flo a Turla!!

    any blast/freezing hairspray will work. Get the most strong hold. I would also recommend blowdrying it as it'll dry crisper and you'll know ahead of time how starched the paghs are. Spray before hand not after, a pagh will still flop even if you starch the visible turla, you need the bottom that...

    Which competition first used judging deliberation?

    It was at least when I was starting out, maybe 2007-2009. Potentially even before that as well. Keep in mind that we didn't even have judges meetings because they'd be gone as soon as show was over. There was no notion of giving out the scores, or handing back notes. This is all fairly recent...

    Transparent Saaps

    Makrolon reminded me of an article I was looking at way back when we were looking into this stuff: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/03/prweb3792484.htm I suspected that the light might appear to be moving as the saaps move which could cause a really cool effect highlighting the motion. What I...

    2013 Mashup: DJ Twinbeatz State of Mind

    Tons of great ideas guys, just watch the pitch as a lot of the samples come in and sound awkward (ex: drake sample right away in intro). Takes away from the hype a bit, if you kept that more consistent it'll just elevate the mixtape that much more. Thanks for the hard work keep it up!

    DJ Lesson on "MIXING BHANGRA" Tutorial 1 by Ellaskins

    He's definitely a legit source, his videos I think are pretty easy to understand and help completely fresh DJs out for sure. I thought that song selection was specifically tailored to explain that Bhangra sometimes has 2 beats interludes here there, since that could easily mess up a new DJ...
