Kanthos Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The best way to get an answer about that kind of submission is to just make the piece of music, submit it, and let us look at the mix itself and judge accordingly, rather than grasp at trying to describe a very specific type of conservative mixing. Or, at least, post a WIP; there are enough people who read the WIP forums who aren't judges but who often would share the judge's opinions on whether a mix is submission-ready. Of course, that draws the risk of having people applaud a non-OCR-worthy mix just because they like it, but it's a shorter process than submitting and waiting for a NO.

Rozovian Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Bump, because I has question. The "Currently in the Judging Process" thread hasn't been updated in almost a month.

DarkeSword Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What Larry means to say is that we're going to charge per submission. That'll teach you guys to haphazardly submit crappy mixes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 oshi-, I better get working on my debut mix so that I can submit it before then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Heheheh That would certainly get your workload down. Also it'll make you vote much quicker just to get your share of the submission fee. I wonder if getting your song on the site would get harder or easier though (if you get a dollar for every vote, will you vote more sloppily and just NO everything and be done with it, or YES everything and be done with it?).

halc Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I know it has nothing to do with the submission date, so what determines the order in which mixes are posted (or judged for that matter)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobaltstarfire Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I know it has nothing to do with the submission date, so what determines the order in which mixes are posted (or judged for that matter)? I'm actually kind of wondering the same thing, it seems there's song in the judge thread thing that were submitted last year and yes'd at some point, but haven't been posted...even though songs submitted this year that were also yes'd seem to have been posted.

zircon Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Believe it or not, we do generally prioritize older mixes in both judging and posting. Older accepted mixes are usually held because they might need quick production/encoding tweaks or because they're on a project that has not been released.

Fishy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm fairly sure Dave just posts what he wants in whatever order he thinks is best, although with a tendency towards older mixes first. EDIT: hoooo beat by andeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for explaining that, I knew the project ones were held up cause the projects aren't out yet, I was just bursting with curiosity over the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbei Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 ok i have a few questions, I often ALWAYS read the judges panel like every chance i get and read on the votes on the artist remixes. Is that s good idea to do? I dunno just that I read to gain knowledge and to see what mistakes I don't make when im starting my next mix even though the info doesnt really apply to me I still read it to take pointers. Also Larry ive often see the word "synergy" in your post...what the hell does it mean? and what do you like more in a mix sound design or standard sounds but used in a effective way? because being that my style is Trance I always find ways to sound fresh and im always looking for new sounds to grab the listeners attention.

Dafydd Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Haha, I've heard about that word, apparently it's one of those bs ones that people use to market stuff even though they don't know what they mean. Can't say LT doesn't though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 "Synergy" means that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, it's different elements (or all of the elements) in a song sounding very good together, where if any one of those elements were changed, the loss would be greater than the loss of that one element itself. Simply put, it's two or more parts working really well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep readin', I often make killer jokes! Also, I like both sound design and standard sounds used in an effective way. That's pretty much what makes a good song :3 When we're talking trance, if the sounds are standard but the arrangement is killer, now worries. Although the other way around is less common (and often kicked in the ass since this is about the arrangement) getting some serious sound-sweetening skills WILL often help you as long as it's not tasteless. ..kinda Also yeah, Larry should tattoo: EGO SUM TEH PANEL! on his back.

Thin Crust Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So why is the original song names no longer added to the new arrangements? I have a feeling that Terra isn't the most remixed song on the site, because of the lack of labeling. Let's see if anyone can guess which song it is.
