the fucking commercials in the middle of the kiss mixes

[day_for_night]

not too sure if someone has made a post about this recently, i havent been around much.

just listened to the oct 17th kiss mix, which is one of john's best efforts of late. its just to bad that around 34 minutes in there is a bloody commercial that comes along and destroys any vibe that was going on. i mean, it was bad enough they moved his time slot to sunday fucking morning, but now this seems to be a re-occuring thing.

maybe if we all email kiss fm and tell them to stop pulling that shit...

/end rant.

I don't like the jingles too...I think it?s strange to air commercials at 3 am in the morning anyway...and only in Digweed's sets not in the guest mix. I can cut the jingles out and add fade in/outs at the end/beginning of the individual parts with Soundforge for the upcoming sets if the majority of members posting in this thread is okay with it.

Re: the fucking commercials in the middle of the kiss mixes

I can. Some people like to have the "original" recordings without somebody puts his hands on them. I don't see a problem at all too especially as I listen to most sets on my headphones and a cracking commercial comes in pretty disturbing when you listen loud to Music.

Question is how anal our members are and if they prefer original recordings from edited recordings....

Re: the fucking commercials in the middle of the kiss mixes

I do find it a little odd that they air the jingles in John's set, but not the guest mix.

Could maybe be since 3a-4a is a higher listening hour, then that's where things get put in. (vs. the 4-5a).

Also, it should be basically run on automation, so if someone forgot to pull them out, or the like, then they just run, sometimes slightly "off schedule"...you can tell on that because it hits at different points each week.

If they're going to run, JD should just cut his mix down to 2 :30 "sets"...I know each mixshow is dependent on the station, but ultimately it IS radio.

Still though, I think I'd take out the break...I doubt too many people would be upset that it got "doctored" a bit.

The reason he said he moved his show to the new and worse off timeslot is because he said that's the only way Kiss FM would let him keep his show commercial free

I remember that and obviously they lied b/c the last month or so they have been putting comericals in his mix. Which sucks it just ruins the damn mix most of the time. We should email diggers and see what he can do about it. It has worked before.

I agree...it does kill the flow. TomTom...If it's not too much trouble, I'm sure everyone would be more than happy with your efforts.

Actually was in the Trafik guest mix a couple of weeks back. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other as far as a fade in/out as I think that as long as the commercials are there, there will be some sort of disruption to the ear.

Re: the fucking commercials in the middle of the kiss mixes

I feel lucky to be able to get my hands on these sets week after week with or without commercials. Commercial free would be preferred if TomTom doesn't mind putting in the extra effort.

[being clever]

I wouldn't know if Digweed's arrangement with Kiss100 is contingent on the commercials, but they've got to go. If Tom has the time and energy, by all means; otherwise, I'll continue to enjoy the sets as is.

Re: the fucking commercials in the middle of the kiss mixes

yes it was better without the commercials but i dont mind much!
when a show has a good flow i cut them with cooledit

[Jenks]

have not listened to a kiss mix in so long, i barely know what you're talking about.

maybe they do adverts in johns part (or he agreed to it) because, tho his is a set, it is also a showcase of new choons coming out. and the guest mix is just that, a guest mix. So maybe he agreed to only have adverts in his section as opposed to fucking up his guests hard work.. just an idea

who knows, either way, i dont have a problem with a little fade in and out, if that's not too much for you to do. other wise, just the fact that you go thru the trouble of obtaining and offering said mixes is enough for most of us I think.

it would be nice if it did not stop the music, that is what makes it a mix.
