Congrats Waxhead!
A deserved win I'd say.
Song Comments:Song1-gravolution.xm (2nd place)
- Sad and unharmonic start but picks up later. Great drums!
- Nice variations and techniques used.
- Started promising, but halfway it seemed like a second song started, so it lost some cohesion.
- nice beats and atmos. good use of volume and filters. some parts were great. riff-samples were usually below average.
- Neat
- Excellent song. Stylish and well writtin.
- FROM ARTIST: Long and crappy crap.
Song2-Sam_Zen - scattered_flow.xm (Shared 4th place)
- Supercool start!!! (nice phazing), but too boring.
- I'm not a big fan or experimentalism. Melodic vibe fixes enough though.
- Opening and ornaments nice, needs moar percussion variations.
- good beats, but you lose points for using stock "unchopped" loops. better use of volume cmds and filters would help too. good use of smaples throughout.
- alright
- Excellent beginning. Great composition for the opening credits of an espionage movie.
- FROM ARTIST: Too simple and definetely wrong tempo.
Song3-The MODPlug Tracker Compo 2007 the ps project.it (6th place)
- Good rythm. A bit monotome tough
- I miss a twistpoint where the song changes in a different direction.
- Less predictability would be nice.
- Good, compact song, lacking surprise a bit.
- not very creative use of samples. GOOD atmos. good buildup but the mid to end part is not very good.
- Boring. :(
- FROM ARTIST: Super boring. No zxx used since the moron who wrote it read the rules wrong. Composer should be shot on sight.
Song4-Free Run.it (7th place)
enough.
- Would be enjoyable sans other similar entries.
- Nothing much to say. A decent exposition of the available material.
- least creative of the lot, but solid tracking.
- boring
- Great beat! A bit short.
- FROM ARTIST: Was more made to test if the samples were good
Song5-The MODPlug Tracker Compo 2007.it (1st place)
- Great use of the possibilities! I really liked it.
- Very nice percussion, and I love some of the lines in there.
- Intimate track with a nice tune, having the proper length
- most creative. oodles of funk. howls were too loud, and i'd like to see some panning done, but that's a minor offense. winner by a mile an 1/2
- awesome
- In a league of its own. Amazing; very creative and stylish. Great Knowledge of OMT.
- FROM ARTIST: Short, unpolished and a crappy ending.
Song6-righto.it (3rd place)
- Sounds totaly different from the other contributions! Great "transformation"
- I knew it was possible but still I'm amased on how well you did it. Not my style though?
- I'll be lookin out for ya xaimus ;D No comment needed.
- Sloppy start. Great, but in potential, because it's more some sketches than a drawing.
- excellent "skeleton" of a track. if it wasn't hastily tracked maybe it would have some real meat. great potential. you get extra points for sounding nothing like the rest.
- Also Atmospheric and moody. Great ideas in the song, a bit disjointed though.
- FROM ARTIST: crap
Song7-ECV.it (shared 4th place)
- Way to long and boring, Nice rythm tough!
- Nice atmosphere, clicks are bad though.
- Actually, I like the clicks, they add that surrealist experimentalist thing in there.... but meh.
- Too long. The last part at lower speed would have been sufficient. Rest predictable with awful ticks.
- cool
- Atmospheric and moody. Great beat. I love it. A bit long.
- FROM ARTIST: work harder man.
Compo is over! :)UPLOAD your entry here:
http://upload.lpchip.com/mpcompo/index.phpusername: mpcompo
password: upload
Note: after uploading you won't be able to download/remove your entry.Competition started: januari 10th
Competition deadline: februari 10th (unless everyone agrees to end it
earlier)
Handy Information:The samplepack contains alot of long samples. In order to be able to track at 2 different speeds, you can use the following information:
Samples at C-5 using tempo 125 (T7D) for a chillout song or
Samples at D#5 using tempo 149 (T95) for a breakbeat song.
RULES:
===========
You can only use MODPlug Tracker
You'll get an .it file which you'll have to work with.
Sample pack will be provided through the .it file
You cannot add nor change the samples in any way.
There are no restrictions in the instruments at all.
No use of VST effects and neither VST Instruments. (that includes the DX
Media effects)
Sound Quality is NOT important.
Your submission cannot be a rendered mp3, but has to be your module.
Although I don't see a point in it, you are allowed to submit any kind of
module that MODPlug Tracker can open, but it won't get you extra points for
skills if you choose a hard format.
================
VOTING:
=======
Voting will be done publicly, which means: when everyone has heard the songs, they rate the songs from top to bottom, putting the best song on top, and the worst song on the bottom. I have made a song myself too (already, and used it to test the samplepack) Although I won't really participate in the compo, you'll have to judge that song in the same manner. Its just that if I end up 1st, the 2nd place wins. :)
You will have to use OpenMPT version RC2 or later (latest beta preferred) to vote.
Aside from putting each song in an ordered list, you also have to give a one line comment about that song. Can be something you liked, hated or both.
If you don't vote, you will be disqualified from the compo.
========
Once voting is done, we'll exchange experiences :)
Good luck everyone. Oh, and if I forgot something, or something is not clear, let me know.
