FEEDBACK NEEDED: Submission Standards Revision

[djpretzel]

We could probably continue revising & refining these standards for the rest of our natural lives, but at this juncture we've decided to finalize them, and they're now live & in place. We incorporated as much feedback as we could without sacrificing the core of the document, and we thank everyone for their detailed feedback.

I think this version is lightyears beyond its predecessor, and since the standards dictate what a ReMix is (and isn't), I consider this a big step forward for the site.

Good show. Thanks for being so open to our feedback!

In response to djp saying he'd like to see the standards translated to other languages, if you ever need a Dutch version, be sure to let me know, I'd love to translate for you guys.

OCR has provided me with so much good music, it's about time I do something back

Right now we've got French and Japanese translations underway, and our next priorities are German and Spanish, BUT, a Dutch version wouldn't hurt. If you PM me I can tell you the specific, but be warned that the Content Policy in particular may be difficult and time-consuming to translate... we'd definitely appreciate the help, though!

I think this is the appropriate place to put this:

I just read your weigh-in on the Space Invaders Remix. Are you sure that the four descending pitches were sound effects of the ships moving and not a light (well, light may be an understatement) background theme meant to convey the increasing tension of the incoming vessels?

I ask because I've tossed around ements for a Space Invaders mix in my head.

[djpretzel]

Yes, we're pretty sure... even if it was intended as music, there's a "substantive" requirement that whatever arranged material has to meet that these descending notes wouldn't.

Unsticking this thread as I believe the majority of discussion has concluded - anyone can always resurrect the issue in the future.

Thanks for all the great feedback - I think the new standards are a thousand times better, and clearer!
