Everyone who competes will recieve a Link for a sample pack which i am currently working on.

22 January, 2008 - 17:51 — The Sole

Oh I am sooo in. I already got one ready! Mixture between NIN killing Marilyn Manson with a pair of buzz clippers. Got some Sonya in it and I also got my youngest daughter Megan(3 year old) in it, but her vox has been tweaked to sound like an electric guitar. I think I have gone the full limit on this one. Too bad we gotta wait before posting.
mwuahhhh.....mwuahhhh....:)

My Showcase

23 January, 2008 - 10:58 — The Sole

Question about the posting link business. Are people supposed to wait before uploading to Maketunes as well? to count in the competition? Also are collaborations okay? I have my eyes set on a collab partner, and just wanted to know...

23 January, 2008 - 15:13 — ed

My Showcase

COol! I have made a slammer bro! I will upload it and post it in the feedback forum. I have only mastered it with my pro headphones and haven't it in my car though. Straight up fire cuz!

23 January, 2008 - 21:47 — illusivemind

You can have the sample pack, or the mystery box!
Now, a sample pack is a sample pack, but the mystery box could be anything!
It could even be a sample pack, you know how much you want one of those.

31 January, 2008 - 07:44 — GIECHI DAN PROD...

HEY, SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN! THATS WHATS UP, IM READY WHEN YOUR READY!

31 January, 2008 - 23:14 — Amittai

I know how to do music and audio, but other than that I'm still in the 90s with computers so somebody please explain why I can't open the rar file...?

I hope I don't need to install software because that's out of the Q.

31 January, 2008 - 23:16 — Amittai

I'm using Windows XP, should I try to open it on my Mac instead? But I know y'all are using Windows too right?

31 January, 2008 - 23:40 — illusivemind

Yeah you need WinRar to open up the Rar file.

My question to the judges is, "will those who integrate the samples better, be viewed upon with a higher edge and vote in the competition, versus those that only use the beat but make a good song?" This will impact my next works. I need to know!
Damn right IM! That is fire you made! Hot shite man!

1 February, 2008 - 14:16 — Frank Marquis

here is my submission.....good luck everyone...:)

http://www.maketunes.com/audio/j5

1 February, 2008 - 16:18 — ed

hey sole we will look at the hole song and how well the samples are intertwined with it as well as the overall production of the piece :)

Right its a cyclone here and im going surfing now cowabunga dudes!!

My Showcase

1 February, 2008 - 16:31 — The Sole

I still have to wait 2 and a half hours before submitting. Damn timezones. Next competition time should be based on maketunes timezone not personal region timezones! I will just submit in the morning. GOt two for this competition. One was compiled with both me and Wolf.

1 February, 2008 - 17:30 — Amittai

Thanks Illusive, the zip file not only worked, but it takes me back to the 90s as I mentioned earlier...! lol, thanks again.

Here is one all Me, with vocals from myself and my wife Sonya and our 3 year old Megan(her song premier)

1 February, 2008 - 18:32 — matt

Hey also I'd recommend using Mediafire for file hosting instead of Rapidshare etc, because theres no wait till download / download speed limits / confusing links etc... just a suggestion, I've found them pretty good
http://www.mediafire.com/

1 February, 2008 - 21:54 — ed

i will host the prizes with media fire matt i dont really know much about file sharing and just clicked the first ones that came up through google

My Showcase

1 February, 2008 - 23:47 — matt

Yeah no problem Ed - just thought I'd suggest it as its quite a nice file host. Only problem with it is 100mb limit, so its no good for anything larger than that obviously.

2 February, 2008 - 00:04 — matt

Heres my weird tune for the contest :)

http://www.maketunes.com/audio/matt-the-vision

Good luck everyone, I bet you all had as much fun as I did working on your tune(s) for this contest!

(Also, a note to the judges, no special treatment for me due to my running maketunes!!! LOL. I just enjoyed taking part in this with all you guys)

3 February, 2008 - 00:46 — Hurrikane

good luck every one this shuld be great

My Showcase

5 February, 2008 - 19:24 — matt

Ah right, I wondered how that particular sample was made - never really used the sampler aspects of Reason much, silly me evidently!

5 February, 2008 - 22:42 — ed

hey matt yeh you can create some mad sounds with the nn19 + xt you can even make scratchin noices from a plain vox sample

My Showcase

7 February, 2008 - 09:41 — Milos

Greetings to all:)
I find this contest very interesting and I'm working at the moment on a dark minimal techno track;)

7 February, 2008 - 09:44 — Sonya

Hi Milos! Welcome to maketunes and the contest. Can't wait to hear what you have. :-}

7 February, 2008 - 23:29 — Milos

Thanks Sonya :) Here is excerpt from my progressive trance track that I'm working on ( still exploring for the right genre for me:D )
http://www.sendspace.com/file/fish7h

8 February, 2008 - 08:12 — Sonya

That sounds excellent Milos! Really nice.

8 February, 2008 - 23:24 — GIECHI DAN PROD...

http://www.maketunes.com/audio/yeah-baby

One more, dont beat me yall, Im just trying to stay busy & learn what i can from my peers! :)

9 February, 2008 - 09:48 — Milos

Thanks Sonya for support;) I like your Divinity track- sounds are very Enya/Enigma like... and the Cry out is nice ambient piece.
I'm on the half of way to finish my track:D
http://www.sendspace.com/file/vituu4
In the end I ended up with progressive minimal techno.
There will be a lot of new synth sounds,special fx, ,new progressive beat layers,and a lot of new variations of main dark pad in sequel.

9 February, 2008 - 09:58 — Milos

I've forgot to mention it's the new track for remix contest called "Pushing the envelope" cause the way I said it it sounded like I was thinking of early progressive trance track...:D

9 February, 2008 - 10:11 — Sonya

I love the way it is going. Very nice touches with the sounds in there Milos.

9 February, 2008 - 10:16 — The Sole

Why don't you upload to maketunes Milos? I am gonna check it out now. If you upload to maketunes we give individual feedback per song track. Better then anywhere else on the internet bro!

9 February, 2008 - 10:22 — The Sole

Nice track bro! It was interesting how you let the one co-mainsynth carry like you did. Kinda like taking the need for a 4 on the floor kick out and creating that steady hum. Hmm.... It was a pretty trancelike track and well done bro!

9 February, 2008 - 11:38 — Milos

Thanks man. Will upload to maketunes in the future - I thaugt that was a privilege of seniors and pro members :)
I made that mainsynth pad sound constantly evolving on purpose ( diging deep with modulation matrix on Arturia CS80v).Every time I render master wav file synth will always sound different which is kind of good getaway for that "everyhing has to be predetermined " attitude in electronic music...

10 February, 2008 - 11:37 — Sonya

2 March, 2008 - 11:59 — MaSteR BeAtS

MB's point is worth noting guys - but as long as you're aware of the smallprint, and don't mind that the submitted song is no longer yours, you may still want to give it a shot...

Excerpt from the VH1 Flavor of Love contest Rules page

2 March, 2008 - 12:56 — MaSteR BeAtS

The last competition was a rip-off cause it seemed that MANY top notch beats were "over-looked" ultimatly giving the competition up to a beat that was lets say "average"......Guess what happened to all those HOT beats???.....We will never know!

"Quite Honestly I'm The Best / You Just Dont Know It Yet!!!"

2 March, 2008 - 13:04 — matt

Ah gotcha... well something to keep in mind then folks

3 March, 2008 - 18:41 — The Sole

Damn, damn, damn. Theoretically, it would provide them with tons of material to work with for the future, thanks to one contest and a gazillion artists handing their shite over. Damn damn damn....
