MindWanderer Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Update: I have a whole bunch of signups for Novices already. If you didn't indicate interest in [thread=40410]the original thread[/thread], there's no more room. If you did get your name on there, you might still be able to bump someone. If this pattern is any indication of how things will go in the future, I definitely want to loosen the criteria for being a Star next time. I'll toss ideas around at the end. Quote
Arcana Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Darn maybe I should have posted in the original thread, I just went right to this one Quote
ad.mixx Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Just wanted to get this message out to my possible future star - I just got a job (yay : D) from Wednesday - Saturday (technically start tomorrow though since I'm driving out then) and will be out of town. I'm not entirely sure of what times I'll be able to spend on the internet (gonna be at a hotel), but I'm probably going to be spending more time with my hopefully future bosses rather than in front of a computer screen.. just to make a good impression and stuff. So yeah, just as a little heads up. This doesn't mean I won't have internet at all though, so feel free to message me via PM here and we'll back and forth through that. We can at least hopefully have an idea of what to do so we can start composing Sunday. Quote
MindWanderer Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Pairings and theme are up in the first post! For the lazy: Participants Rozovian with AlmightyArceus DusK with Cash and Change Flexstyle with urdailywater Sir_NutS with Kuolema Prophecy with Tuberz McGee TheGuitahHeroe with wildfire Theme This pilot episode's theme is "Beginnings"! Your remix should either: Be based on a source that's used for a title screen, into/opening sequence, or starting stage/area, or Evoke the feeling of being used for such a thing (regardless of the source). This is a judgment call, but in my opinion Who's That Child is a good example--I could easily see it being used for the epic opening of a Castlevania HD remake. If you and your partner don't use the same DAW, do your best--exchange MIDIs, WAVs, whatever. Remember this is a pilot test and not to be taken too seriously. We'll standardize this process for next time. If any other challenges come up, please discuss them here so we can streamline the process for the future. Mixes are due in 2 weeks from today, at noon PDT. Novices should send me a PM with a link and post in this thread to confirm they sent it. Quote
Magnetic Ether Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Cool. Sounds like a neat theme. This should be fun . Quote
Garpocalypse Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I was hoping some judges would get in on this If we didn't get paired then are we at the top of the list for pairings for the next one I hope? Quote
wildfire Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 awesome! two questions: opening cutscenes before the title screen count, right? and can we use multiple themes? Quote
MindWanderer Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 If we didn't get paired then are we at the top of the list for pairings for the next one I hope?This is only a pilot test, so no promises the format will even be similar. I'll probably loosen up the "Star" criteria--even though the "interest" thread had roughly the same number of Stars and Novices, this time it was about a 1:2 ratio. More info later.opening cutscenes before the title screen count, right?and can we use multiple themes? Sure, as long as the result is a coherent piece of music. Quote
Cash Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Would something like a character selection screen be acceptable? Quote
MindWanderer Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Would something like a character selection screen be acceptable?Sure, why not? Not a stage select, though (since you can reach it mid-game). Quote
Tuberz McGee Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Hell yes! Gettin in with the Prophecizarrrr <3 This is gonna be awesome. Quote
Magnetic Ether Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 This must be the quietest competition yet . Quote
wildfire Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 This must be the quietest competition yet . I only started yesterday, so I don't have a ton to comment on. Other than how awesome my song is already. Quote
MindWanderer Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 One week in! I guess wildfire is doing well. How about everyone else? Any comments on how the whole collaboration thing is going, and perhaps what this compo format might do in the future to facilitate learning and mastery? Quote
Magnetic Ether Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 My track's almost done, just need to do some recording and go over some stuff with Sir_Nuts. It should be good I also have no idea what genre it is... Quote
ad.mixx Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Making good progress here. Not as far as I'd like to be, but if I'm persistent I should have a good arrangement finished off by midnight tonight. This is not a source I expected to cover, I can only hope I'm doing it a little justice 'cause it's pretty freaking awesome.. Quote
SuperiorX Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I can't wait to check out what you guys are cookin' up in here. Quote
Melbu Frahma Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I can't wait to check out what you guys are cookin' up in here. Obviously, a nice course of In all seriousness though, I'm excited to see too. Quote
SuperiorX Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Hahaha killer studio chops never gets old. Quote
Tuberz McGee Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I highly recommend this Compo for ANYONE out there who wants to learn more. I feel as if I've learned so much from Prophecy. Really. He's a damn swell dude too! I'm glad I got to cover a source tune that I've always wanted to. I can only hope I've done it any justice whatsoever. Quote
Cash Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Things are going well, but still more work to be done. Quote
AlmightyArceus Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Not much done on mine. Plus the fact that Rozovian is in a completely different time zone he is often away and as such we have not talked much at all. Quote
wildfire Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I'm moving my furniture across town on Saturday. As of right now, I have around 4 minutes of decent material. Hopefully I'll be able to get a bunch more done, but if not at least you all know why. Quote
ad.mixx Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Just finished our mix.. sending over to Flexstyle for some lovin'. It's pretty short, but interesting all the same. I'm pretty sure it'll come out super kick-ass once Flexstyle's done with it. Also, right in the middle of the compo my mix gets accepted to OCR. Don't disqualify me Quote
Tuberz McGee Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 urdailywater! You're a badass regardless of Novice status or Star status. And I just did some synth soloing. I love me some Sytrus - Chip 2. <3 Preset or not, it's a gorgeous sounding synth! INB4 synth noob lawl Quote
