November 18, 201015 yr So, is it best to wait till you know who you're making the mixtape for to start putting it together? Can you check that person's profile to see what music they like? (sorry if i sound dense, never done this before!)
November 18, 201015 yr ^I usually try to get some ideas going before I find out my partner, but then, yes, once I know who I've got, I stalk their posts or last.fm to see what they prefer. :)

(sorry if i sound dense, never done this before!) Well, you can do whatever you want! I think it's easier to make a mixtape when you know who's your partner, and, yes, you can check his/her profile/lastfm or everything else that can help you to know his/her musical tastes. Anyway, I think the most important point is to put what YOU like. Personally, I always have an idea of the artists I'll put in the mixtape before the matches are done and when I know who's my partner I work on it. But I don't really like "stalking" as I don't want to be too influenced. I only check if the person will know the artists or not to be as original as possible. Here's my opinion! Hope it helped :)
November 19, 201015 yr I personally don't start thinking about it until after I find out who my partner is and do what I think is sufficient research. Then again, I'm rather technical when it comes to such things.
November 19, 201015 yr I usually make the mixtape first, and then when I find out who I'm making it for, I stalk their last.fm if they have one and replace any songs on the mixtape that they've already heard.
November 19, 201015 yr ^ If I didn't feel like I stole so much music from here that everyone listened to, I might do that. :disappointed:
November 19, 201015 yr Yeah. I do what Kelsie does. I also spend a lot (too much) time trying to find songs that flow into each other well.
November 19, 201015 yr I usually make the mixtape first, and then when I find out who I'm making it for Same here! I've already starting gathering songs I want to put into my mix and right now, the general feel is pretty mellow/gloomy...I guess the bad weather here isn't helping... :lol: Have to find upbeat pieces or my partner will kill him/herself :lol:
November 24, 201015 yr I just hope my person will like the mixtape, I just know bands that everyone already knows though :blank:
November 24, 201015 yr I've been listening to mainly trance and house music and things along that line. And Owl City related things. My mixtape would suck. :P oh hey, 130000
November 24, 201015 yr ^Yeah :cheesy: An Adam Young mixtape would be the best freaking mixtape of all time. :freak: Anyone who puts any of his stuff on their mixtape I love you. You just got My Regards and Disaster stuck in my head. They're both going at the same time. :|
November 24, 201015 yr I did that with my mixtapes so far, actually. I had Owl City's "Hot Air Balloon" for MTE 5 and Port Blue's "City of Safe Harbors" for MTE 6. :smug2:
