MindWanderer Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 One week down, one to go. Hopefully everyone has most of a mix done and is working on tweaking it with the help of their Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Really sorry, I can't believe it's the 20th already. This month has been a huge kicker for me. Is there any way I can beg for an extension? The following Monday would be great. On top of working I am also back to being a full time student as well and with exams being as heavy as they've been this past week and the next if I don't finish what i'm working on tommarow then i'm not going to make the deadline.

Dafydd Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I, too, have exams next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 No extensions. You've had a week and a half, and there are 4 days left. I'm not going to add almost a whole week onto something that's supposed to be a monthly competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ah, rules are rules! I appreciate that, actually. Just wanted Garpocalypse to know he's not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyificus Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Anyone know when Wednesday, Oct. 24, at noon PDT would be in UK time? I'm bloody awful at conversions for timezones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 BST (UK time) is currently GMT +1, so noon PDT (GMT -7) would be 8 PM BST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just wanted Garpocalypse to know he's not alone. Appreciated... No extensions. You've had a week and a half, and there are 4 days left. I'm not going to add almost a whole week onto something that's supposed to be a monthly competition. ...But i've decided to pull out of this competition. I think RwTS is still a great idea but under the current amount of time that's given to work on a remix I don't think this can reach it's full potential. Roughly 1.5 weeks is hardly enough time to both write a remix and be able to learn some new things from your star. Honestly a format closer to DoD's monthly competition would be just what this competition needs to achieve what it was created for which was to allow for under experienced remixers to better understand what it takes to get a remix up to OCR standards, and to learn a few new techniques for music production. Something that can't be done if you are scraping for free time over the course of not quite two full weeks. Sorry to have to do this but when I signed up I thought the competition's end date was going to be later in the month than it ended up being. Good luck everyone. I'll be listening to the results for sure, which by then should be a slower part of the month for me i hope. Apologies to Syllix who i was looking forward to learning from.

ProjectSpam Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Submitted mine. I was only able to start working on this a couple days ago but much appreciation goes to ectogemia, a great star who offered a TON of fantastic advice. My mind was blown! I don't know how successful I was in incorporating his tips, but I (think I) learned a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyificus Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 My entry's I'm. Wildfire has been amazing and is definitely deserving of her Star status Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 I have mixes from shadow24, The Eluryahn, ProjectSpam, Trism, and Rozovian (for Cash and Change). I know not to expect one from Garpocalypse, but that leaves Dafydd. A little less than 2 hours left for him to submit and for anyone else to update. Incidentally, Garpocalypse, I'm not sure where you got the idea that there was less than 2 weeks for mixing. It's exactly 2 weeks from pairings to deadline, minus an hour or two for me to actually do the pairings. Edit: Oh, I forgot: Could everyone please provide a link (YouTube is fine) to your source material? Not everyone will be familiar with all the sources, and use of source is the most important factor in voting. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Submitted my first wip, which was all I had time to make, sadly. I didn't even have the time to do the things Sir Nuts told me about regarding clipping and such! He did provide me with a source, though, and the little I had time to do is very different from anything I've done before, so even if I didn't really finish the WiP... hold on. Exactly how much time do I still have left? EDIT: Holy crap, I still have an hour left!? Well damn. Can I replace my submission with a new file if I do so before the deadline?

Cash Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 My source is Phantom Train from FF6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafydd Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Done it. Link is the same. I should probably clarify AGAIN that if you think my song sounds like shit, don't think Sir Nuts had anything to do with it, because none of it is his fault. Just for the record. I got started with this too late and had no time to apply his advice. EDIT: I also misspelled his username in the filename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Cash and Change/Rozovian: Your mix has no title. I'm using the temp title you were using for now, and will fix it when I get a real one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Cash and Change/Rozovian: Your mix has no title. I'm using the temp title you were using for now, and will fix it when I get a real one. Use this: Cash and Change feat. Rozovian - Ghosts on a Disco Train (Final Fantasy 6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eluryahn Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Right. Sources used were "Find Your Way" and "Liberi Fatali" from FFVIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Actually, whatever's in the tags is the temp title. Logic uses the project file name by default, not the name of the rendered file. iTunes, and probably most music players, consider the title tag before the file name. Not that the explanation matters, you have the name now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Jobson Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Well because of busy schedules, Garpocalypse and I won't be submitting something on time. That being said, this is a learning experience and I've been PMing Gar back and forth, so hopefully we can end up submitting something later on purely for listening pleasure. I think I can speak for both of us saying that it's better to submit something late and still learn from the experience rather than to give up.

MindWanderer Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Mixes are up. I'll compile the sources and add them to the title pages shortly. Edit: Done. Youtube links listed next to the contributors. Well because of busy schedules, Garpocalypse and I won't be submitting something on time.

Dafydd Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Could anyone clarify this? Votes should be based on, in roughly descending order, use of source [...]. Interpretation of the theme shouldn't be considered. What does "use of source" mean, really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfire Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Could anyone clarify this?What does "use of source" mean, really? How much you used material from the track you picked, and also how much you altered it and made something new but still recognizable. That's my idea, at least.
