BeatsBase mixes
What are they?
As almost anyone interested in DJing is likely to tell you, you’re not a DJ until (at the very least) you’ve started mixing. Now maybe that means you beatmatch tracks in your set, or maybe you go one step further and produce your own tracks. Either way, BeatsBase is on hand to help you deliver your hard work to the masses.
Once registered with BeatsBase, users are able to upload mp3 files of their latest DJ creations for the whole world to listen to, and yes, feedback on. Great for promoting yourself and your work whilst getting some fresh viewpoints and ideas along the way!
How do I add a mix to the BeatsBase database?
Once registered with BeatsBase, clicking on the ‘BeatsBase Console’ link will take you to your very own admin area where amongst other options you can upload mixes to BeatsBase.
Either by selecting ‘Upload a mix’ from the quick list or by clicking the ‘My mixes’ tab, you will be directed to the add mixes form where you can upload your latest masterpiece to be heard by the masses.
Uploading your mix then involves just 2 easy steps!
