ectogemia Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) What's all this noise about Ben's and Wildfire's voting being so lopsided? It was roughly 22-18 or something like that when I last checked. That's pretty close... edit: omgad, almost done with epic remix Edited September 15, 2012 by ectogemia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 You should just use box.com; then you can update the file later if you have time, and if not, no big deal Box isn't really an option for WAV files - there's an upload limit, for free users, and WAVs peak over it if they're over two minutes long.

Yami Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well, I think I'm done... I wanted to do something with a really hard bass, but I struggled the whole week. And now on one day I made a downtempo track which I like... Strange things are happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is... I used box for my song last week and had no problems. I only use the free box and my WAV file was like 40mbs or something.

Gario Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Huh, well they must've changed it when I wasn't looking - there used to be a limit. Learn something new every day, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvernixSP Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't know if I'll upload my tune tomorrow. It's just like a big draft.. I haven't had much time to work on it, and won't have much tonight either (it's my birthday tuesday and I have a supper tonight when I come back from work (where I'm at now)). So what should I do, upload an unpolished turd ? ;( You have to upload for 2 reason, first, I'm not an opponent do be fear off, you can easily beat me and for second, I won't accept winning by default, so upload what you got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Crap! I thought voting was due tomorrow! sorry guys My votes would have been these: 1-Superior X vs Phonetic Hero : Very close matchup I liked how funky was SX's track but I liked PH's a little bit more. It was hectic but not too noisy. 2-Tuberz McGee vs Jakesnke17 : Jake had some insteresting ideas but I have to hand it over to Tuberz for his bold take on the themes and the arrangement. 3-AMT vs Mr. L : Not much to say, AMT rocks the fuck out of mega man. I am afraid of going against this amount of face melting mega man rock later on. A big contrast vs Mr L's subtle rendition of the themes, which wasn't bad at all but I felt the drums were a bit disconnected from the song, not off-time or anything, but kinda doing their own thing. I'll have to go with AMT on this one. 4-BlackPanther : Short, but nice. I liked the atmosphere. 5-Cash and Change : C&C's intruments felt a bit loud and dry, the arrangement wasn't bad but the instruments kinda distracted me. 5-urdailywater : slappy clap there. Ambience is kinda odd, but it was entertaining. 6-ladyWildfire vs Benjamin Briggs : LW's song is pretty awesome, almost has a sad tone to it. BB's was upbeat so there was a contrast there. I would go with BB by a hair. 7-Jason Covenant: holy crap dude. Your songs have always been epic but... damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerothemaster Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Huh, well they must've changed it when I wasn't looking - there used to be a limit. Learn something new every day, I guess. There is a limit, but it's not too bad. I have a 5 min song and it got in there fine. I wanna say the limit is 200megs. Don't quote me.

Sir_NutS Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Also where's pixelwave? I hope I'm not having yet another first round default win... I hold a record on those in Darke's compos no joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyificus Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Right that's it, I'm done. I actually got the track sounding okish and my fucking program crashes and I haven't saved for fucking ages and it's 2:30am here and I have work tomorrow so screw this I'm going to bed. Very sorry for dropping out but I'm finished here. I think instead I'll start looking at designing the banners tomorrow as no-one else seems to picking that up.

Cash Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) 5-Cash and Change : C&C's intruments felt a bit loud and dry, the arrangement wasn't bad but the instruments kinda distracted me. Thanks for the feedback. This is a reoccurring issue for me, I tend to have trouble selecting my instruments.

I'll have to go with AMT on this one. (And now, the post I should've made before...) Thanks for the comments! Hmm... so two comments about the drums... to be honest, I'm not that great at picking out drum (kick / snare) samples just yet; so, sorry beforehand if it sounds like I'm making the same mistake(s) over and over again. I'm gonna make this work eventually! Edit: Sorry to hear about your program crashing, Trism. Edit #2: *does Jedi hand gesture* pixelwave, your current mix is awesome like sliced bread; you'll be happy to submit it! (Okay, I gave that a try.)

Frederic Petitpas Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 "Mixes are due Sunday, September 16th at 2PM EDT" so what does this mean if I'm GMT-5 (montreal/new-york) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna make this work eventually! Well if you want a bit more of advice, I think it wasnt as much of a sample problem, but a choice of how you sequenced them and presented them. i think that for a track as chill as this one, something more spaced out than a 4 on the floor would've worked better, that's one of the reasons why the song and the drums felt a bit disconnected. Also I would have processed them a bit more to make them sound more in tune with the ambience. But doing something other than 4 on the floor would've made a difference, I think. You could have done a spaced out beat for the most part of the song and bring the four on the floor for fuller sections, for example. Anyways hope that helps a bit.

EDT is Eastern Daylight Time, which is New York time, so that is your time zone. So it's 2pm for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectSpam Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have no more time to work on my track, so I sent it in to Darke. It's sloppy and I could do a lot more with it but I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. Hoping to get a lot of constructive feedback throughout the week!
