Eg: Track Title, Genre, Artist Name etc. These can be accessed by right clicking on your MP3 file and choosing "Properties". Then under the "Summary" tab click on "Advanced" (if "Simple" is activated) and edit the fields. [size=7]Judging template:[/size] - Production Quality: --/10 The overall production quality of the mix. - Originality: --/10 How well the song exhibits a new structure within the same genre or how effective is the jump to a different genre and how well the new structure supports it. New sounds used, chopping, better/unique sequencing etc. - Relation with the original: --/10 Despite all differences, how well the remix holds on and slutes the original feel/emotion/vibe etc. Content connection to be taken into account as well. - Overall mix: --/10 All concerns regarding a remix being over repetitious and/or lacking in appeal go here. If a remix is unappealing, this parameter gets lower values. However, since the appeal on any song is subjective, do not be biased by a "first impression". In case you find a mix to be very appealing, you are encouraged to give a good score. If not, in specific cases, it is suggested to borrow a helping hand from logic and try and work out a decent score depending upon the new genre. Ofcourse, most importantly, the structure of the remix counts. - Optional parameter(s) to be mentioned by the judge(s): --/10 (each parameter) Judge(s) are advised to limit this optional parameter to 1 as it lowers any chances of confusion later on. If you feel inclined to add more, no one is stopping you but owing to a common perspective, 1 added parameter should be enough as the most important ones have already been mentioned. DO NOT use fractional scores using this system. It was made to eliminate such ambiguities. Use full integral scores only. FROM KIDDK8: Optional category that will be considered for this contest: DANCEFLOOR FRIENDLINESS Explanation: The song is an EDM song, therefore I have added this optional parameter. Yes, it negates some possible genre options (like erm... country or breakcore), but not as many as you would think. Intros and outros aside - once the song has started rolling it should not do things like run into a big screeching "train-wreck" where there are no rhythmic or percussive elements to speak of for much of a time. This is true whether it be downtempo, house, breaks, drum & bass, trance, rock... whatever the case, it's an undeniable fact that it's a sure way to clear off a dancefloor. Also, additional consideration in this category would be in terms of structure and it's ease or difficulty in use for DJ mixing. Don't freak out at this. Common sense can be applied actually. If this category is obscure to anyone at all, please feel free to seek clarification by posting in this thread. Some of the material in the pack is in a bit of raw form. Particularly the vox bit. This was intentionally left that way. Production skill check  Thanks. I sincerely look forward to hearing some wild twists on the song.

coo, I'm gonna check this one out. Probably gonna go for a dnb feel with some trance mixed in. I'll probably end up using my other Alias "D-Latch" also, would you possibly be able to post what the key of this song is? |

Yes, that question actually made me realize something. The root note is G. If you are using Acid or software that parses the Acid info in loops - the root note found in the loops is wrong (it used the default A). Change it to "Do Not Transpose". Time signature 4/4 - tempo 146bpm. |

heh aight that cool. Yea the acid thing isnt a problem. I use acid for bpm changes in reason and thats about it. I dont like using samples (aside from vocals), so I end up just recreating them in reason. Knowing the key makes it so much easyer

Reason is great. Shame you don't like using samples considering how flexible the sampler on it is. By the way, the basses on UB313 were done in subTractor

I don't use Reason exclusively, or even primarily. I definitely would if you could utilize VST through it though, instead of having to record portions, turn them into rx2 and opening them in Dr. Rex. I think whoever made that greedy decision at Propellerhead on creating the rex format and trying to be so closed door on things didn't do anyone a favor including themselves. Hmmm.. well this has nothing to do with the thread it's in so I'm shutting up now. |

Oh I do have to add though - on the recreating thing, I think that's great. The song is pretty sparse and minimal so there should be lots of room for people to express their style. |

I never knew it. I was set up to "remember me" so it never happened. As far as that goes though, it might've been best to leave it. If someone doesn't create an account then they wouldn't actually enter either. I don't know really, I guess I'll leave it up to the expert

I've changed the permission for a while. Let's see if this works out and attracts more entries.

Ahh I will probably definitely enter but I don't guarantee anything because downloading a 30 MB sample pack on this stupid connection means hell to me :(. |
