shadow24 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 FACT: Lemongrab is the funniest character in anything, ever. I kinda like that homeless guy on Aqua Teen Hunger force that just mumbles all the time and pisses on himself. Quote
Ethan Rex Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 iPod earbuds hooked up to my Logitech sub. Saw that rig on gearslutz, had to have it for myself. Never looking back. dude when are you gonna grow up and get some Beats like all the pros Quote
DarkeSword Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 Remember folks, you have until 6PM EDT to submit your remixes to me. Don't forget to double-check your file names too. Team names, gauntlet themes, etc. Quote
Mr. L Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Entry submitted! I'm looking forward to everyone's entries later today! I've certainly enjoyed all of the remixes I've heard from Round 1. Great job everyone! Edited July 28, 2013 by Mr. L Forgot it was past 12 A.M. here. Quote
Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I'ma shoot for jumping to 3rd place at least. Listen to my entry on the best headphones or speakers you have. Wear loose pants. Wear no pants when you hear mine - just like when I made it. I kinda like that homeless guy on Aqua Teen Hunger force that just mumbles all the time and pisses on himself. I should warn, this is one of the side effects of hearing my mix. Don't worry, you'll recover after a few days. Edited July 28, 2013 by Ghetto Lee Lewis Quote
Ethan Rex Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 you can wear pants with my track if you want but you'll just end up ripping them off of you anyway soooo Quote
Troyificus Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Entry submitted. To go with the current theme; I advise everyone to lower expectations before listening to my track. Quote
ectogemia Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Well, I'm almost done. Another 2-3 hours tomorrow for polishing and mastering, and we've got ourselves a mix. Hope u njoy. Hooray for page 69 Oh, baby. Quote
timaeus222 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wear no pants when you hear mine - just like when I made it. You're going to do a 360 side breakfall when you hear mine. I sure did. Twice. Quote
Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 You're going to do a 360 side breakfall when you hear mine. I sure did. Twice. So what kind of reaction would I have if the track is good? Quote
timaeus222 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) So what kind of reaction would I have if the track is good? Oh, there are many different possibilities. You could be possessed into running around the house screaming "poop butts", or even jumping up and down, spinning in circles, and dancing like a monkey climbing an invisible rope. Or, you know, you could be a normal person and blare it in your car. Edited July 28, 2013 by timaeus222 Quote
Ethan Rex Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 so what kind of reaction would i have if the track is good? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm super excited; my track is definitely the best I've written, and I sure as hell hope it holds its own this week Quote
Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 track submitted. Finally I can get some sleep..... Quote
DarkeSword Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 I've got 6 entries so far. Some really strong tracks this week. Remember folks, you've got until 6PM EDT today to get me your tracks. Don't miss the deadline! Let's try to get a full 14! Quote
Esperado Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 subbed. 12 straight hours, a broken daw and no sleep later. you guys better damn enjoy it. i wish i could have tweaked it a bit more, but im pretty happy with how it turned out. looking forward to the entries! Quote
Jamphibious Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hooray for page 69 Only page 18 on my end :'( Quote
NovaReaper Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 And subbed! I'm personally not that happy with it, though. Quote
Troyificus Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 And subbed!I'm personally not that happy with it, though. You're not alone there buddy! Though I am of course referring to my own entry, not yours, because obviously I have yet to listen you yours, not that I'm suggesting that when I do listen to yours it will be bad, because I'm sure it won't, not that I'm undermining your statement of not being satisfied with it, becuase I'm not and wow I can't actually seem to stop writing ha ha hah HA Quote
ectogemia Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I'm mastering my tune right now in case anyone wants to watch. www.twtich.tv/ectogemia Quote
SuperiorX Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Alright, my track is subbed! I'm really happy with how it turned out. It wasn't exactly what I set out to make, but really, when does that ever happen? It's in a style I've tried to do in the past, but have never quite gotten to work out just right... until now. NAILED IT. I can't wait to hear all the mixes tonight!!!! Quote
Shadix Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) "I also want to stress that you cannot collaborate with people who are not on your team. This obviously means no collaborations with other teams, but it also includes people not involved with the competition, i.e. you can't get your sister to play drums for you, and you can't get your boyfriend to throw some vocals down either." After discussing with a friend regarding my track last week and wanting to get live sax on my track, I want to express that making this a rule is actually detrimental to any benefit this contest is supposed to give, and is poor producer work ethic for those who have the resources to do this type of work. When you use a sample library, you are collaborating with musicians that were strenuously recorded for use with your project. By claiming this to be a rule you are essentially saying using anything that isn't explicitly a synth is against the rules. If the reason for the rule is because it puts individuals at an unfair advantage due to the expressive nature of live recording, I want to stress that the process of arranging for players and recording is a complicated, work intensive process, with a lot of variables both before and after recording that more than make up for the lack of sample tweaking and humanization to make your samples expressive. Also, if the reason behind the rule is "samples only". What if I made my own samples of other people I want to use? If they just happen to play the same chord progress or melodic figure in my song, its still a sample. In addition, if the point of this contest is arrangement and you are going to outlaw session musicians you should outlaw sample libraries altogether, because the guy that happens to own well recorded, expensive sample libraries like Komplete, EWQL, LASS, etc are already at a disproportionate advantage to the dude still scraping by on poorly recorded soundfonts and stock plugins. In addition sample libraries are pre-mixed and mastered, so if anything, pre-manufactured samples are cheating in a sense. Now, I can see if you are concerned if external people are collaborating on the arrangement, but if you are doing the principle writing bringing in session players is exactly the same as loading up a patch in Kontakt, and thus shouldn't be an issue. I ask for you to reconsider your stance on this for future competitions. Edited July 28, 2013 by Shadix Quote
ParahSalin' Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hooray for page 69 Speaking of ... What's wrong with 6 and 9? DarkeSword doesn't seem to like them (at least not in the point system) I subbed my song also. It's my first remix of my first compo. Remember you had your first one once! Quote
