AM + 5158 present: Your Jealousy Remix Competition

It has been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over as Adelaide Massive and 5158 Records join forces to bring you the Your Jealousy remix competition.

As the name of the competition suggests you have the chance to remix Mark 7's "Your Jealousy" featuring Lesley on vocals.

The sample pack is available here: http://audio.adelaidemassive.com/rmxcomp/

I have uploaded all the samples individually as 320kbps MP3s and WAV, and also as rarred packs of either MP3s or WAVs. I have tested the samples and the rar files and they all work ok for me, so hopefully there won't be any issues with grabbing the samples.

When voting time comes around, all the entries will be hosted as anonymous files (01, 02, 03, etc) where everyone will vote by replying in a thread. Upon finalisation, the scores will be tallied and the artists will be revealed. There will be two types of voting. People's Choice will be voted by fellow AM members, with 3 votes per user allowed, ie: 1st preference gets 3 votes, 2nd preference gets 2 votes and 3rd preference gets 1 vote. Mark 7 will also be choosing a remix for inclusion on the next 5158 CD, however to be eligible for the CD the remix must be drum and bass.

The guidelines for the competition are as follows:

- Entries to be a maximum of 6 minutes in length.

- The vocal and at least one other sample must be used but feel free to use more samples from the pack as well as your own samples and VSTs.

- More than one entry per person is allowed.

- Entries can be any genre.

- Entries are to be bounced down to 192kbps MP3 and stripped of all ID tags.

- Email your completed entry to: adelaidemassive@gmail.com before midnight Monday June 30th.

Any questions, feel free to ask... otherwise, get onto it!!

can we get a dry version of the vox?

I'll ask Mark... cross your fingers, but I wouldn't hold your breath...

i just reckon having a dry version of the vocals would be nice cos that'll open it up for the vocals to get used more imo.

Let the hibernation commence.

Agreed...  Bit limiting especially the section with the delay on it. 

Also agreed.

keen to sort something out for this, just have to speak to my mate that has all the shiz and see if he wants to make tunage...

Why did I have to go and uninstall Pro Tools just before this started.

got the all clear from me mate, look out 

Id really like a dry voc sample, not too keen on that monumental amount of reverb.  Think ill pm M7 and ask...

Good call. I want to do a bit of chopping around and it sounds like shit with a wet sample.

cool.. this has started! don't think i'll have the time to have a go unfortunately.

If I said cornbread was up for grabs would you be keen Rya?  hahha

Okay, this vocal shiznit... yes, tonight, i've got diarised to deliver on the vocal. The samples are all bounced at warp speed 179 bpms if that helps anyone.

There was quite a bit of reverb on it, as we recorded it in a room with all glass windows and wooden floor boards. The fact that it was recorded through a pair of headphones into an old tape deck, also provides some interesting noise characteristics and challenges.

Will do my best to get this to you tonight.

Good luck and may the force be with you always.

mad ghetto tunage

the wav version cuts out early

Thought it seemed a bit small.

Is it different to the MP3 of the same sample?

Na they are both short. There's actually not a huge difference between the original and this one. Only the end part that's different really. As was said most of the reverb was due to the room. It actually sounds quite good, but a completely dry sample would have been nice.

Seeing as I'm not going to be able to pull off what I originially want, does the vocal sample have to be recognisable? i.e. can I destroy it in Spear?

This has turned out better than i though {mr.burns} 'exxxxcellennnt'....

I guess we've given you all a free license to do what you want with the rest of the tune. The challenge with making and remixing this tune WAS ALWAYS (and will always be) the vocal. The fact that it was recorded in such a grotty, snotty, dirty little fashion meant that it was ALWAYS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE!

I don't mind what you do to the vocal so long as recognize it as the 'YOUR JEALOUSY' vocal.

Be creative, dont be too conccerned about being clinical. Your not getting signed to Hospital just yet

Good luck, can't wait to hear what you can dish up with such a free lisence to dowatchyalike~!


 

Thanks Mark & Khem, I've started mine, happy with it so far...

Haven't had a chance to play around with anything yet but hopefully I'll be able to get started on this tonight after work. Been a while since I've been able to play around with making anything so I am looking forward to it, even though I'll be doing everything via headphones.

Going away for the long weekend so been trying to get this somewhere before then... 1/2 way there

I've got a cupboard full of corn meal, so that won't sway me I'm sorry.

Been chatn to some crew who don't regularly post on AM who didnt' know bout this comp. so we have some more contenders in the near future.... yeeeahhhh...

Giddy up

hope the beats are coming along nicely AM people.

 

my track is progressing as fast as mark 7 sorts out samples

My computer is currently down and out so until I get a new computer this looks like a no go for me. Pity, because my track(s) was coming along nicely as well.

Any entries submitted yet?  Who's got an entry on the way?

I'm going to have a go at getting my computer working in the next week. Hopefully I'll get it done by the time it's due. Doubt I'll have time now to do 2 tunes though.

Still got time mate... get that machine fired up.

I've not heard anything yet... give you all some time to get happenin!


*** Loving the Queensland warm weather aahhhhh ***

i got one in the works but not entering it in the comp im still a amateur when it comes to tunes

yo.. me n a mate have been whipping up some filtered crazytalk for this comp... but....

i got the samples of Mr 7 before the comp started.. does anyone mind if our entry goes in? if anyone does i wont enter it

cheers

lol im not entering the comp i said

Fuck, Ben, you've just ruined it for everyone...

 

I don't care but it's not really up to me.

I'm definitely not getting this done unless someone buys me a new computer soon. Managed to get mine going for long enough to install windows before it completely shat itself.

Is there any other reward besides inclusion on the next 5158 cd and what kind of ownership does the entrant have once it has been submitted?

Just wanted to clear this up for someone as he's not familiar with any previous competitions of this sort.

 

Sorry if this seems trivial, but my friend who has been working on this wants to know. Less than a week to go, any clarification?

I'll have to let Mark 7 answer that one - sorry.

Depends how good it is...

*seriously* The vocal is very much owned by Leslie and Myself sorry mate. If you're tune is killa and you want to send it out to labels for sale, perhaps take out the samples I've uploaded, re-badge it and register the track with APRA (still like to hear it).

Just so everyone's clear, the remix will be attributed to you but the original YOUR JEALOUSY track and it's samples are owned by us. Pretty standard. If you win the comp and wish to have the tune go onto VOLUME.6 then that's your call (see the vol.6 thread). As far as other prizes go...if your up for a beauty set, set of golf clubs or a holiday to Fiji, I'd suggest Wheel of Fortune...can I buy an E please Larry...

If it's your intention to get the tune up for sale online (ie the remix you do), happy to negotiate something with you (my blood type is v+.........vodka).

If there's any confusion feel free to contact me direct, I don't bite much.

Mark

Lot's of talk of people with broken computers and "ametuer's" like Ambo starting out etc. It's worth having a go, all of us started somewhere and are all at different stages of production. Would be great to hear a real variety...

If anyone ever has questions feel free to contact me direct on mark7dnb@gmail.com or on the 5158 Mobile...hehe...0407515858.

Stick at it!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad this comp got me back into the studio, i wanna keep making tunes just lack the motivation (damn you GTA IV!!!)

Are the upload details sorted yet?

check the first post re: submitting entries.

spoke to 7 today n iv'e been ok'ed to put my entry in - goin in tomoro 

I really wish I could have got it done but I'm away for a bit now so it's too late for me. I reckon when I buy a new mobo etc. I'll finish my tune off though. Not really fussed about winning the comp or anything just want to make some tunes.

Cool, let us know when you've got some beats laid down, keen to hear em.

Bigups
