[COMPO] Are you in for one?

residentgrey · January 03, 2007, 03:05:01

i might as well, with good ole LP makin the samples you know they would be great

i need to get back into the groove, or finally IN the groove as the case may be.

Quote from: "MaxL"I'm in! Would prefer XM to IT, but will enter anyway just as long as we're free to choose genres..

Then change the song to XM

As for the genres, I'm not so sure it will be possibe to choose any... There will be a limitation in the samples, but if you're able to break them (which is part of the objective in this compo) then by all means, do so

When is the kick-off planned?

Quote from: "apple-joe"When is the kick-off planned?

When I finished the samplepack. I have about 4 samples ready now, but I want to add about 4 to 8 to get more variety and give more possibilities.

Don't worry though, I plan to give a long deadline, with option to stop earlier if everyone finished their track earlier.

apple-joe · January 03, 2007, 22:36:42

Okay, sounds fine. I assume it's not too long before it starts then.

Waxhead · January 04, 2007, 04:49:30

I would like to participate in this compo as well. Heh this is just like in the good old ProTracker days when you loaded someones else module and started messing around with it

LPChip · January 08, 2007, 19:00:21

I have a samplepack now. The samplepack currently is in HQ, and goes into a 7.80 mb big .IT file, which is rarred to 3.69 MB.

Is this acceptable for everyone? Or shall I reduce the quality and bring it down to somewhere around 1 MB?

speed-goddamn-focus · January 08, 2007, 19:06:07

yes

fine by me, im on broadband now :)
maybe ill participate, if i can come up with something.
if you do make it smaller, could you supply both the full quality and the low quality version?

LPChip · January 08, 2007, 19:13:47

Well, its not impossible to do, but I want it to sound equally to everyone, so I'm not sure if I'll do it.

Don't count on it. Not because I'm too lazy (which I actually am

) but because I don't find it fair to those that can't download/upload the big file.

I'm merelly finding out if there is someone that will have problems downloading the song, or thereafter upload it.

Note, that if required, I can make something to allow uploading.

First, is anyone on dialup? I certaintly am not (anymore). I personally think that if you can Rar it down 3.7, even Dialuppers can download it (I always did.) Plus intentional downsampling is unforgiveable. In my opinion.

Snu · January 08, 2007, 22:34:43

indeed, i downoladed quite a lot when i was on dialup, and 3.7mb isnt any bigger than an mp3, plus if everyone does a sample cleanup, the pack wont be as big.
but if there is a lq pack, would just want the hq pack so i could replace the instruments for my own listening (or for a later release), even if i submitted it using the lq samples.

apple-joe · January 08, 2007, 23:17:28

So it may seem like I'm joining this one. Spent about an hour last night and created - for the first time in quite a while - a piece longer than 10 seconds.

Also, I'm getting a certain flow of ideas which I want to try out again. Suitable mood for a compo period.

Sam_Zen · January 09, 2007, 01:10:22

When on dialup, if I really wanted some file of 4 Mb, it was no problem. I went for coffee or something.
Although I agree on trying to have the same circumstances for every contestor, very noble, in practice however many equality stays an illusion, because of everybody's different hard- and software. The tools to handle the material.
So if LPChip decides to offer both a lq and a hq version, I suggest, that the ones that can afford to load the hq version, feel obliged to heighten up their threshold for quality, so before they feel, it's a succeeded piece.

residentgrey · January 09, 2007, 07:13:34

where is the pack, link me plz?
