Ok people!

Here are the 7 tracks submitted.

All are sounding... interesting! Got some really great sounds in here but before we pick a winner, we need a public vote for the top 3!

The top 3 will then be handed to the judges for a winner and 2 runners up to be picked!

(Prizes are still being sorted!)

No voting for yourself!

VOTE AWAY!

great work everybody, seven tunes, not a bad turn out after all.
all the submissions have similar strong points (probably cos of the nature of the compo)
everyone got interesting and original drums and thick ambience. i learned something new (if fairly obvious) that recording your own sounds is a goldmine, and i use my recordings in every tune i do these days. why dont i write some highly qualified reviews

A great pads with the filter sweeps, the drums are a bit too highpassed
B cool sounds all around (specially the drums) but i find the bassline too messy
C heavy drums, great ambience
D not only the best tune in the compo, it holds its own compared to professional tunes too. really impressed with it, id be interested to know who wrote it.
the vocoder bit with the voice is brilliant. i think i figured out who wrote it now actually
E great effort, again the production is up to par with professional tunes (i think i know who this one is too)
F instead of minimal, somebody went maximal. really full on but i think everything could be a couple of semi tones lower, for more weight
G its tight and funky if rather abstract

OMG some of my competitors tracks are AMAZING! Fucking solid tunes everyone! So how long does public voting last till we move on to the top 3?

logikz
28-07-2011, 08:42
normally until there are enough votes for three clearly discernible chart toppers and then the judges decided whos the winner and do a write-up on them. usually a few weeks, this time we have a bit less than half of the usual amount of tunes so it shouldnt take too long. maybe a week or two.

miszt
28-07-2011, 10:05
having a hard time decieding between 2 of them tbh...hmmm...

logikz
28-07-2011, 10:26
the suspense! hey think this should be sticky? or not, cos sometimes i think normal threads get more hits than stickys

Some very good entries in this guys, was a hard choice (Y)

All entries are really great,it was hard to decide....:gpeace:

Mr Fletch
28-07-2011, 15:07
Yeah all entries are great, they are all very different, but also very good in different ways.

Because I'm a judge, I'm not gonna cast votes on this open poll, dont want people thinking I have a favourite already, and will be swayed with my choice. I'll patiently wait until the final 3 are handed to me, listen several times over and make my choice then. And give feedback accordingly.

Phat_Sam
31-07-2011, 02:26
Haha! This is exciting cos I know who produced what...

I recon another week and we'll have a clear vote!

I thought i would stray from the waffle section to check this out.

Some solid efforts from everyone envolved. I thought "b" slightly edged it .

Big ups to everyone that entered

40 votes isn't too bad. 50 would be a good number :)

RedRavenRuler

Any idea when we will know the winner?

Mr Fletch
18-08-2011, 15:53
Well Sam told me he would pm me high quality versions of the tracks to judge.............that was about a week ago lol! still waiting for the tracks, so I can listen and do my job ;)

logikz
18-08-2011, 16:07

really? whats wrong with it?

miszt

really? whats wrong with it?

the most obvious problem is the top end, very crunchy, sometimes even sounds like hi-hats are out of time/glitched, espcially considering that people generally upload MP3's, the stream is then recompressed at 128....i'm very suprised you dont notice the problems? clarity in the production i think is an important aspect to figure out which track i would choose in our final choice, so hearing as high-quality as possible is important, esp considering that on a creative level all the tracks are quite close together

subprime
20-08-2011, 00:11
haha, I noticed that hi-hat thing, especially in intros, but I had no idea it was to do with the compression. Always wondered how people could mess up their hi-hats! lol

Hey Logikz, do you still have the password and all, you could pass along the uploaded tracks to the judges if Sam is busy

Sammy Dexcell

Mr Fletch
29-08-2011, 22:12
Well im Still waiting to be given the high quality versions of the tracks to be able to judge. And i believe the other judges are still waiting too. Seems that sam has dissappeared off the face of the earth!

miszt
29-08-2011, 22:45

logikz
30-08-2011, 09:09

Mate that would be sick! Sorry lads... Been at the ed frige fest with no Internet/a broken laptop for two weeks. Would be so helpful if you could do that logikz. Can't do anything till I get the laptop fixed n that might not be for a few weeks. Ozime, miszt and Fletch are our three judges so if you could pm them then I owe you sexual favours!

RedRavenRuler
02-09-2011, 20:11
So is there any news on this?

Mr Fletch
03-09-2011, 12:20
Still waiting to judge the tracks mate.

Phat_Sam

Still waiting to judge the tracks mate.

Like I said.. Laptops broken. Having to do all my internet stuff off my phone. I thought logikz was sending you the tracks? I tried messaging him but his inbox was full or some shit. Sorry. Like I say. Time and money issues mean I can't do anything yet! :-(

Mr Fletch
09-09-2011, 21:06
Nope....not yet.

To be honest mate I'd just give up, we have....

miszt
09-09-2011, 21:07
Logikz only has access to some of the tracks apperntly, i think we have to wait until fatSam gets back *sigh*

logikz
12-09-2011, 11:24

Finally! We should keep this near the top so the 3 producers see it if they haven't already...
