WillRock Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Anyone reading this who has already downloaded the file, could you please re-download? Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Apparently that WAV uses a compression codec I don't have installed, or something. I can't play it in any media player I own, or import it into REAPER. Edit: Still not fixed. I got both versions, neither works. Edit 2: Oh, that's so not a compression codec. The file is 28KB. Slightly impossible for a 3-minute WAV. Edited March 23, 2014 by MindWanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimpazilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The file is 28KB. Slightly impossible for a 3-minute WAV. Is this a typo? The file is 28MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorax Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Protip: Don't right-click > Save as... The link isn't a direct link to the file, it goes to a download page. You probably downloaded the HTML page as a WAV file. If you renamed it to .html, I'm sure it'll load a dropbox page. EDIT: that's exactly what happened. here's an image of me downloading the file twice, once by clicking through and once by right click > save as.

MindWanderer Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Ah, yep, usually Save As is the right thing to do if you won't want to play a media file in your browser. I thought even Dropbox used to work that way. Got it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought even Dropbox used to work that way. Got it now. It still does if you have an older account with a working "Public" folder, which allows hotlinking (I use dropbox as my hotlink host for just about anything, incl. the pic in my last post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was hoping the covers would be more creative than this but this'll be fun to mess around with sometime just for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was hoping the covers would be more creative than this but this'll be fun to mess around with sometime just for fun Seriously Brandon? Oh come on! Will's cover is quite good, and is meant to be SUPPORTIVE of whatever creativity YOU bring to the mix. So get to it already and quit'cher complainin'.

WillRock Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was hoping the covers would be more creative than this but this'll be fun to mess around with sometime just for fun They're covers. Not rearrangements or remixes. Also, if you're wondering why I didn't put in small changes etc, I feel in this case, keeping it as close to the original as possible was key to see what you all could do to set your performances apart from the original song.

Troyificus Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ~QUESTION~ Can we submit secondary 'bonus mixes' a la the PRC competition? Say for instance I submit an actual 'serious' entry but would like to submit something fun that doesn't get considered for voting and such?

Say for instance I submit an actual 'serious' entry but would like to submit something fun that doesn't get considered for voting and such? Sure. Make sure to make clear which entry is the serious one (if it needs saying) and we'll mark it as a bonus entry in the ZIP file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarnax42 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Pretty sure I'm gonna be giving myself a handicap. It's highly unlikely I'll be able to do anything this week. Heading to Baltimore tomorrow before going down to Charleston for my cousin's wedding this weekend. But everyone better bring their A-game, because I totally plan on catching up.

Eino Keskitalo Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I was supposed to have the time yesterday, but no.. I've already translated a part of the lyric into Finnish, which I thought might be fun. (: I might have some opportunity for quick take tomorrow, so I might be one of those who could use the extension. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also slow and terrible tho, so I sympathise. Moving Deadline forward to Monday 31st March! (don't get used to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindWanderer Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm slow and terrible but also done. Let's just say I'm looking forward to some constructive criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayirot Akago Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yeah, I'm not exactly sure either how well my rendition will stack up to someone like Brandon, but hey, at least I tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yeah I don't even have a proper recording setup. Just a crappy onboard mic. Honestly with the people who signed up I'm a bit intimidated to submit anything :\ Which isn't helping my procrastination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
