2 Clones :
This download link sux, FF can't handle it, caused by the dreadful brackets.
Never mind, This forced me to register at TiS, to DL the file anyway.

@Sam

A better alternative might have been to paste the link in your browser address bar.

But you are right - this doesn't work .... at Modplug

I checked CTG, Modarchive, United trackers, and renoise - all work

But Buzzchurch doesn't work ether.

So here is a tinyurl version

Shame TiS doesn't take ogg - I'd love to see your music there.

[Sam_Zen]

Nice, I use tinyurl often for bitmaps, but I didn't know it does audio as well.
TiS doesn't take ogg ? Conservative losers I would say..

Little chance to get my music there. This was my first encounter, and I don't like the attitude.
"the top of the charts" .. "fun competitions" .. not my piece of cake.

[Louigi Verona]

I wonder if anyone comes to the contest page from louigiverona.com?

Now this is for the site that hosts the samples on SoOn.

So its up to 150+ potential competitors - and it is looking like 10% are going to enter - unless there is a mad rush at the end here.

No serious composer takes the TiS charts (or ratings or reviews) as more than a tea party social nicety. And... TiS hasn't sponsored a competition that I've seen. Barry and Novus had sponsored compos but those stopped some time ago.


It would be fair to say that Mysterium styled the new TiS to reflect the old 90's TiS and *most* of the composers have grown up in the intervening 10 or so years. A lot of that fluff and feel good bullcrap isn't wanted by people though there still are cry babies and idiots to be sure. At one point the forum was totally  out of control around late spring,  early summer 2008.

[Paul Legovitch]

Hi,
I made a little piece with OpenMPT for the compo. Due to lack of time it's very short, but short can be nice too I guess.

Song name : A la source.
Length : 1:10 min
File format: OGG
Samples used : Bongos, Congas, Sound_Effects and x.
download : OGG or MP3

Uncloned, is it possible for you to host it ? These urls won't play the file directly I'm afraid. :oops:

Thanks for the very nice samples !

[uncloned]

Sure I can host it - and thanks for the new entry!!

I would recommend making an mp3 since more people can play those files its to your advantage. But you don't have to.

[Paul Legovitch]

Here's the mp3 :
A_la_source.mp3 - 2.67MB

By the way, is it possible to export as MP3 directly in OMPT above 56 Kbps ?
EDIT (after reading the next post) : thanks LPChip for the link, all questions answered.
