more mix swap 2 FAQ's
a couple points have been queried regarding the swap mailings
question: who will have access to my mailing address? answer: i will run this swap very much like swap 1 - i will be the only one with return mailing info 1 when swap groups are announced i will provide a central address to which all group packages will be mailed. 2 just place inside your group package: your screen name and an equal package sized bubble envelope with appropriate return postage and enough address information for your postal worker to deliver it 3 i will seal your new swaps inside and drop them in a post box question: will i have to mail stuff to germany? answer: no - i live in the united states of america that being said this swap is open to everyone i'd be happy to send stuff to germany so come join the fun the swap list thus far: ● QueenofSmirks ● Gemme ● Ebon ● Logicaly ● tonaderspeisung ● Suebee ● Daywalker ● Diva ● rainintothesea |
How many people will be in each group? Does anybody have objections to it being more than five? I found that most of the work was in actually choosing the songs. Burning a couple extra didn't take much time and I'd LOVE to get as much new music as I can! What's the feeling on this?

Adding myself to the list!

my personal preference is for smaller groups smaller groups = more possible group options and therefore anticipation about what group you will end up in smaller groups = mystery and intrigue over all the swaps you missed out on therefore it's more likely one would join the next swap 6 days left to sign up the swap list thus far: ● QueenofSmirks ● Gemme ● Ebon ● Logicaly ● tonaderspeisung ● Suebee ● Daywalker ● Diva ● rainintothesea ● ALovelyKiss |

Bigger groups equals more music! :choir: |
sometimes it's not all about the music
sure discovering something new or rediscovering something long forgotten is a fun aspect of mix swaps
but it's not the only aspect like you said - most of the work is making the mix some people spend hours, days, months even; collecting the perfect set of songs it's self expression and revelation in about 80 minutes i like to spend time with a mix listening for what's being shared besides music it's a great way to get to know someone this swap is under the community, groups and relationships category i'd like to approach this swap kind of like a 3rd grade write a letter to a pen pal and get to know a BFP neighbor so to speak groups of 3 at the most of course i'm open to group input for 5 more days |
I can see the benefits of both ways of doing it but I'm with Sue. I don't think we're going to have so many folks sign up that it would be extremely tedious to do it as one big group. I know that I'd like to share and learn from everyone on the list.
I initially became interested in this some time ago, but I couldn't participate then. Once I saw the cds that my friends were getting, I really REALLY wanted to do this. So, I'm all for all in. |
Sharing a thought or two...
Thank you for being receptive toward group needs;
whether we have small or large groups of participants. I have a question though: How much time will we be allowed to put a compilation together? I just began my last (final) semester of studies and I would appreciate a heads up regarding a time deadline. I'm thinking I could have a music compilation put together by the first or second week of March. Thanks, ~D |

I put an awful lot of work into my last mix - and that's because I wanted to share something of myself with my cd. But it IS an awful lot of work, and it IS an exchange. To take all that time for an exchange with two other people..... I'm sorry, but it's not really something that would interest me. Looking forward to seeing the preferences of others. Sue |
And extra thought...
My preference is to participate in a smaller group.
Thank you in advance, ~D |

i'd like it to be about making connections not best friends for life, soul mates or crazy stuff like that but a real world human connection maybe this is all naval gazing philosophy but it is why i volunteered to organize the swap you put a lot of work into your last mix i received a copy of your mix - it was great i just played it again the work you put in showed - cover art, song flow, the way certain instrumentation flowed from one track to another - really great as i type this and your mix is playing i know a real human is reading this on the other side of the data bits hurling through space a real human connection i think that is lost on the larger swap groups full of mass thank you/ reps to anonymous screen names id like this swap to be an opportunity to make more connections like that i propose that the swap groups remain small and everyone is free to pm and make arrangements to swap with people they are not grouped this will build personal investment in the swap and foster the human exchanges i'd like this swap to achieve the swap list thus far: ● QueenofSmirks ● Gemme ● Ebon ● Logicaly ● tonaderspeisung ● Suebee ● Daywalker ● Diva ● rainintothesea ● ALovelyKiss ● Fancy |
