KgZ Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hey so my PM sending is having an issue. I'm not getting an error, but when I send it goes straight to the email sent folder, except it shows that no email was ever sent. Any thoughts?

DarkeSword Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 What if I spell it with a "q"? Seriously, no. KgZ I got your PMs. I have your mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not getting an error, but when I send it goes straight to the email sent folder, except it shows that no email was ever sent.Any thoughts? That's bizarre... maybe Shariq can confirm if he got it or not? I suppose worst case scenario you could see if one of your teammates could send the PM if yours isn't working.

Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 You make good points. What does everyone else think?EDIT: You know what? I DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. I'M JUST GONNA MAKE A DECISION ON MY OWN!!!!! :-x I'm going to adjust the rules for this competition and say that session musicians/performers are allowed. If you have the resources to make that kind of thing happen, then you should be able to utilize those resources. Please keep in mind that musicians and performers should not be involved in the arrangement of your track. As always, I obviously have no way of enforcing this, so I'm asking you to be on your honor. I agree with this. For the record, do NOT ask me to perform piano solos for the purpose of these competitions, because I compose music when I play the piano, even if I'm playing the melody that was intended. I'd say the same goes for a rhythm guitar section; if you're simply giving the guitarist a chord chart, the guitarist is writing the music, NOT the arranger.

Brandon Strader Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 And don't ask me to growl! Even if it's to a pre-written lyric, cause I compose when I growl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Man. Once the next block rolls around, I really need to figure out a way to teach some of you guys about identifying the keys of the songs you're remixing and putting both tracks in the same key for your remix. Also need to get some of you guys past just doing two separate remixes and tacking them together; remember, the goal is to make one cohesive song. Someone unfamiliar with the sources should not really be able to tell that you remixed two piece of music together. I want this year's WCRG to be a lot more educational. Maybe a bunch of us (noobs and vets alike) can all sit down in a Google Hangout during round 4 and talk about arrangement techniques, sort of a Wily Castle Master Class. Interested?

I'd be interested. To be fair, thinking in keys can sometimes be limiting and it's not always necessary to stay strictly in one key, however if you don't know the theory behind it all you should probably learn how to compose/arrange in one key before getting more creative.

SuperiorX Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 The Story So Far... The Robot Masters have fought through the jungles of Pirate Island and have scaled Moliarty's Tower. Now, at the very top, in the control room, they've found that the nefarious Dr. Wily, fed up with Disney's machinations, has used the rocketship hidden at the jungle tower to escape the Earth. The doctor is searching for something—or someone—to help him take his castles back! Hurry, Robot Masters! He's getting away! After him! TO THE MOOOOOOOON! ROFL. I must say I am genuinely excited to see how things develop now, especially considering that Blocks 2 and 3 seem like they are going to have different story 'themes'. I gotta admit, as much as I may have complained when this was first announced, I am having a fun time with it now. So thanks. And I, for one, am excited to hear some Moon mixes And yeah, depending on the night of the week and what else I have going on, I'd be down for the Google Hangout thing.

Yeah. I mean I understand the value of key changes in composition at that level, but what I'm seeing from some of the novice remixes is a lack of understanding of the very basics of music theory that could be helping them make a more cohesive arrangement. I'm trying to be more proactive in this competition in helping people to learn about this stuff. The competitions I run are all primarily arrangement/composition competitions and I think that people could be learning a lot from participating.

Brandon Strader Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I was thinking of Commando Man on The Moon all day yesterday. Needless to say this compo seems to be working out in my favor, just like the previous one.

DarkeSword Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Round 2's remixes are up. Remember guys, voting ends on Saturday at 6PM EDT. Yesterday's voting extension was a one-time thing. Don't count on it happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Rex Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Here's my breakdown: 0:00-0:14 - Intro to Darkwing Duck, tri bass has Ground Man bass source in the first 4 beats of the pattern 0:14-0:48 - Transition into GM melody in the piano, harmonies/bass play DD in the last 4 beats of the pattern 0:48-0:50 - Variation on 0:28 in the DD source 0:50-0:59 - Second section of DD 0:59-1:15 - Pattern is mainly the second section of DD but finishes out with a variation of the GM melody in each phrase 1:15-1:31 - B section of GM 1:31-2:12 - This is the most complex section source-wise. 12.5 pulse (the lower chip pluck) is playing GM bass, 25 pulse (higher pluck) is playing beginning of DD, piano/triangle layer is playing GM melody 2:12-2:16 - transition plays a variation of the first 2 bars of the GM B section 2:16-2:36 - Egredious soloing (i think i stuck a DD intro interp in there) backed by the GM B interp from before 2:36-3:07 - Same source usage as the 1:31 section 3:07 - THATS ALL FOLKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 awww hee wee goe! Don't know why i'm getting excited for this compo now. I've only played maybe 10 minutes of Megaman over the course of the entire series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, I still don't see where this is written in the rules...maybe I'm completely missing it, but I can kind of understand why people thought they had an extra day last week. I've created a #wcrg IRC channel on esper.net.
