My submission for The MODPlug Tracker Compo 2007
------------------------------------------------

Song5 - 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

Song6 - 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.

Song1 - nice beats and atmos. good use of volume and filters. some parts were great. riff-samples were usually below average.

Song2 - 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.

Song3 - not very creative use of samples. GOOD atmos. good buildup but the mid to end part is not very good.

Song4 - least creative of the lot, but solid tracking.

Song7 - work harder man.

The comments on song1, song5 and song2 are really long. can you make these shorter please?

You should put in a small comment about the song, not why you voted for it.

The effect you used was Classic EQ on FX Slot 100. You think I wouldn't notice?

I actually completely forgot that I put that there. Did it even do anything? I don't think I had anything routed through it.

Also, editing comments.

EDIT: Checked the original track--it doesn't do anything aside from a 2.4 dB boost applied to everything. wtf

Lol, you went from really long to really short

You did that to tease on me didn't you?

good use of volume and filters.

I didn't use filters.

One rule for the compo was that Soundquality does not matter. So if someone in fact did add a filter, used EQ, added stereo effects etc...etc... does it really matter at all?! As long as the effect does improve the soundquality and does not alter the melody (echo for example) why bother since people was supposed to not consider that when voting for their favorite song.

I left those comments to the authors. It didn't affect voting. And are you sure you didn't use any kind of filtering? I'm pretty sure... hmm.

I'd say that its ruled out because XM files don't support filters.

why are you all who made one of those songs commenting on your own? isnt that like conflict of interest?

Song5 -In a league of its own.  Amazing; very creative and stylish.  Great Knowledge of OMT.
Song1 -Excellent song.  Stylish and well writtin.
Song7 -Atmospheric and moody.  Great beat.  I love it.  A bit long.
Song6 -Also Atmospheric and moody.  Great ideas in the song, a bit disjointed though. 
Song2 - Excellent beginning.  Great composition for the opening credits of an espionage movie.
Song4 - Great beat!  A bit short.
Song3 - Super boring.  No zxx used since the moron who wrote it read the rules wrong.  Composer should be shot on sight.

What the hell did i imagine was filtering then?! I'll have to look the song up again. Hell maybe even vote it lower.
