Has Anyone got the Midi for any of the parts as your not getting much free parts with this comp....


Posted by japan4 on May-14-2008 19:43:

So once I submit MY remix, I can't legally distribute it to my friends?


Posted by Khayat on May-14-2008 20:46:

I think the main synth is the most important part I didnt download yet


Posted by Waza on May-14-2008 20:47:

yes but i want the midi notes so i can make my own sounds instead of using his sounds thats all.


Posted by Khayat on May-14-2008 20:51:

oh shit is wav/mp3 not midi ooh ok lol
Sry man


Posted by Waza on May-14-2008 20:53:

yeah no probs easy mistake.


Posted by Frequency Frank on May-14-2008 21:03:

Sounds like fun


Posted by Stef on May-14-2008 22:38:

I think the samples have way too much delay/reverb on them for them to distributed as remix parts, why couldnt PVD include dry parts instead

Looks like the winning track is going to (potentially) get an international release - good for exposure but not for your bank balance. Anyway, there's some goodies to be had from beatport for winning.......

Point #10 included for japan4....

Thanks... just bought the pack and got the other two samples as well. Nice to have... although I do see what you are saying, Stef de Roux, about the samples and reverb.

Number 3 concerns me a bit - you're gonna get a crap quality track unless you cut the start-end points of the track to boucne it at 320kbs. How the hell are you gonna get a track to sound good at <128kbs on MP3?

Need the midi files, even just for the lead!! Are there any programs that can extract the midi sequence from a wav file? Otherwise I guess its just trial and error trying to play it on the keyboard.

If you use Windows you should be able to google "wav to midi converter" or something. When I had Windows I remember finding a couple freebies and cheapies that didn't do a bad job.

Edit: I'm away from my computer (on my BB now) otherwise I'd post a link...and out of town with no access to Ableton and my controller until Saturday otherwise I'd hammer it out.

Must say that I am getting a bit sick of this shit.
- You want to hold a remixcompetition, because,
- You want to discover new talent, on which,
- You can probably make a lot of money out.
And that you let us pay to download some damn samples!!!

You guys might disagree but I am getting so sick that we have to pay for the samples to enter a remixcomp. Indeed, the original track is included to, but if I don't want it. Is not like you can create a entire remix based on the two free samples you can download.

Fuck this, I ain't entering!!

Sorry for the faulty language


Posted by DesMc8 on May-20-2008 22:17:

Not gonna lie..."Far Away" is a one hell of a bland track. I love Giuseppe and Paul...but I was shocked at the out come of this track.


Posted by DeZmA on May-21-2008 06:29:

Hooray for the new "pay to remix" thing


Posted by thecYrus on May-21-2008 08:22:

the probably make more money with selling samples than with the actual tune

which is exactly why I never enter these things. They are only there to make money for the label and Beatport/audiojelly etc. A proper remix comp would give us the samples free AND the midi files.

Its a shame because I believe some talented producers would be discovered if they did proper remix comps.

I agree. Although I haven't listened to much PVD, this track doesn't exactly make me want to explore further.
