More details announced soon. Get started!

well, i know i posted here before it all vanished but i can't wait to hear what comes up GO FOR IT GUYS! (and girls hehe) MWAH

got started this weekend, progress is slow...  Vocals are great Lauren :icon_biggrin:

im tryin to decide if im gonna enter this, the vocals are cool, but id rather make a tune without vocals.
i was hopng to have a sample pack with all kinds of audio samples, but oh well....

the idea of the comp was for it to be different from previous comps. this time the only requirement is we use the vocal. you can use it how you see fit. im sure there will be another comp with a sample pack again.

yer i know mate, i just excited at the thought of new samples to play with

any chance of getting the vocals un-edited. seems some words are cut off abit too early if you have a good listen

Hey what's the deal with comp limitations? Can we post more than ONE track???

I already made one downbeat one and wanna try make a DNB version as well.......

 

Yes you can enter as many as you like.

I'll try and get an ungated vocal, someone told me about that last night too.

Do all the lyrics need to be included & can they be chopped up a little (figure i'd throw something trancey together)

Cheers,

J

Use it how u see fit....

I've already made a trip hop mix, gonna do a mashed up one..... twist those vocals right up

Cool - I was just referring to the 'few notes from the author' docco & saw this is all:

>Please make sure that you keep the vocals at the same pitch if you change the tempo of the track
> I do intend to perform live so don’t want to have it out of range!

If you wanna do some choppage you can. Go nuts!

how's everyone going with this? i've got a shit load of work to do....

my monitors are in storage and cubase died on me.



i could probably knock something up in FL on my headphones but meh

78% of all monitors left in storage are unusable after 3.5 weeks. 61% of people know that. Let me look after em for ya...?


Mine is coming along slowly, due to my switch to cubase.

One downbeat version finito.......
     .....one dnb version (or maybe breaks) to come.



Maaaaaybe another if my 9-5 isn't too harsh over next week or so.

I can't wait to hear everyone else's shizz..... 

half way, no make that a quarter done...

I cant eseem to find a big chunk of time to work on it, soon tho...

Hi folks. Is this comp open to anyone?
I've already got a few beats n stuff together.

The vocal is great - what did u use to record it technopussy um i mean electrokitty? - I'm in the market for a mic preamp at the mo.

yeah for anyone mate

I used a AKG c414 with a Avalon pre-amp into ProTools with 009 console... I.e. not at home


I have an the ungated vocals for anyone who prefers that. It will be up later today

So where do we submit our tracks?

i'd love some extra time, til the weekend at least...

definitely another week thanx... 

Til Sunday

nice... 

What's the bet i don't even get to start a new one by then...


 

i've been to the doctor and got a sick cert.... how long can that get me...?

 

Will accept bribes

Oh, by the way - what's the fuggin' name of this tune?! 

Shit! I've spent this whole time thinking I had until the end of the week (19th) to do this. Any sign of these other vocals though? Mine only needs some 'cosmetics' and a decent mix so I may well be okay, but still...

definitely have till at least the end of the week (Sunday) for this one, due to not having the other vocals yet. no stress.

hmmm, stamina is entering, ill need that extra time

At least he has his priorities right......

SORRY! thought i posted the link x

Hehehehe. I've been a lurker for ages; stopped posting for some unknown reason a while back. Didn't occur to me until I needed to ask something that I had to sign up again, d'oh.

I think my priorities are about the only thing I've got right, though - don't expect greatness from me... 

Nah, u missed the great Adelaide Massive crash of 2007... Everything on the old board went to interweb heaven (or hell).

Oh, by the way - what's the fuggin' name of this tune?!  :lol:

Stay

Or if you listen to the words and think of something better i'll consider it

Just want to confirm guys, when exactly is this due now & how do we submit tracks?

tnxguysbye

Justin

i might enter this too now...

ive got what, 3 days?

heaps of time!!

yeah how do entrants submit their tracks?

 

If the closing date is actually the end of the week I'm gonna most likely end up sending in a 90% done versh, 'cos I'm gonna be away all weekend. I got the vocals in but don't like how they 'sit'; mixdown is a bit of a headache too. I guess in the unlikely event someone wants mine for something I could always do it again/better, but... bleh. I waffle. Ignore me.

Dont worry mate, i reckon (hope) the date will be slightly lenient... im about 3/4 done and will be in the same situation by Sunday as you.

I wont have time to look at anything til atleast the end of next week.

Leeze - how are people getting these files to us???

THanks

OK we will have a one week extension to give people an op to finish (or start) their tracks. Due next Sunday. Working on submission details now!

was gonna say i've got no chance to finish anything before sunay. work is killing me atm

upload details sorted yet?

I keep coming back to this thread expecting... well, I don't know actually. Progress, I guess. Developments of some description. Someone other than me panicking would be nice, hehe. I swear there are only gonna be like 4 entries for this ting; this was so much fun when I started it but I've really bitten off far more than I can chew now. My computer does not like me. 

get a new one

or is it?

TECH SUPPORT!

ROFL.... don't panic. I think everyone's struggling to even finish a track 

Just over a year old. But doing this tune is the most 'work' it's done since I got it (number-crunching and whatnot), and it's being very much the diva about it. 

Erm, I hope you guys are going to accept late submissions (my tracks finished) but i got no net at home atm, so i cant post it up until Monday morning by the looks of it......

      .....push-push hurry up! 

I apologize for asking dumb question, but how to I submit my remix

not a silly question, we're still waiting for details...

I should have mine finished today...  should 

got no chance of finishing what i've started, doesn't help not having a day off in the past 2 weeks

Mines done. Waiting for submission details.... 

Erm yeah, about that...

Will hopefully have it sorted tomorrow, no stress if it's a tiny bit late, we're not nazi's!

...by the way, perhaps it would be better to call this track Myself or With you, what do you all think?

how about 'myself with you'  - done

Hahaha. I thought Stay was much better. Ah well. 

Hey Leezee, I dunno about nazis, but going by your avatar icon thingy I wouldve thought u to be a bit of a mongrel, at least a bit of a no nonsense sort of person.

Anyway if theres no ftp thing for this website u could try getting peeps to send their tracks to the mods via yousendit.com or something, just a suggestion.

And yeah I agree with Stamina - Stay seems the best to me.

Ok here it is- call it what you think is the best of the 2 obvious titles available.. if you win you get that track name

Well I don't care what it's called.....

Where the hell do we submit them?

Finished!

Oli said he's gonna make us an FTP spot to upload to. I assume he'll do it tomorrow if he's not too busy.


Please submit them as 320 mp3's, without ID3 tags, but put ur name in the title so we know who's is who's. I guess we'll just rename them when they get hosted.

All entrants should send me a PM with subject "AM Comp" and I'll get back to you within 24 hours with FTP details to upload files to. If you don't know how to use FTP at all then send me a PM anyway and I'll tell you another way to get the files to me.

Once I have collected all entrants files I will be putting them in a location for everyone to access under the adelaidemassive.com domain.

Any questions - post here...

whose is whose

grammar nazi.

Indeed. 

ahahahahah nice

keep getting a 550 error - permission denied when i try and u/ld.  Tried using IE and fireFTP over Mozilla...  Might just be this computa tho...

Ill try it again from leezees tonite

So whats going on kids?

All uploaded or what?

mines up......

Mine's sent, but I've since realised the track didn't bounce properly; the note release on some of the pads is all smudgy and weird, as is the vox level automation.

Ah well - hope people won't be too harsh on it.

I think mine should be in - wasn't sure which folder to put in so just bunged it in the main directory. Ran out of ideas in the end but oh well

Ok well I'm calling this one closed. If anyone missed out send me a pm asap and I'll find a way for ya to get it to me.

Not sure exactly how many entries yet, but I can't wait to hear em.

Cheers to all involved.

same here, good luck all 

*holds breath awaiting updates* 

Ditto....   

I'm just waiting on one to be emailed through...

It's my fault though - I cleaned my desktop and lost it the first time. Sorry. 

DONE.
