ok its 7:32pm right now... eastern standard time.. which means tranceaddict time..


the best thing i think is to stick to tranceaddict time.

(tranceaddict time is not the time that it shows on your posts)


this will give people in europe, asia and australia tons more time to finish their work while still giving the people of the western world enough time after work/school etc. to finish their entry.

it's all too confusing I think we should just stick to a city and use timeanddate.com/worldclock ... so say entries are due Monday 24th at 9 PM LA time or whatever.


BTW this weeks samples were interesting. They were not at all what I was expecting when I head guitar samples. I was hoping for something absolutely rocking like Hendrix voodoo child style or something. However, the minimal licks were great because promoted creativity IMO.

OK.. L.A. time = PST.. thats good!

is everyone ok with that?

Okay, I've received 4 entries, here's a link to the zipped file:


Week One Entries


Hmm...so I guess we're down to 4 competitors? Anthony, have you finished your entry? You'll have to post a link to the file in this thread then. Same goes for JakeC, asfse - but the links will have to be up super quick to be considered, I waited until it should well and truly have been monday midnight everywhere... (I must admit, I did give my track a bit of a volume boost while I was waiting, it was sounding very quiet compared to the other entries...there are some excellent pieces in here! But I figured, it seems we won't have an elimination this week if not everyone enters, so I may as well just bring up my track's volume a little so people can listen to them all at roughly comparable loudnesses....I really have to do more work on compression, limiting and such...)

Let's just hold back on the voting for now, we may not need to. But we can definitely comment about each others tracks in this thread! Thanks heaps to everyone who submitted entries!

hey guys i had to go up to l.a. yesterday for work and still haven't been back home yet. lame. anyways i won't be able to get anything uploaded until tonight so if thats too late - sorry. i'll be sure to over see the rest of the competition

Lucky bastard. God, how I love So. Cal. ;-)

yeah so everyone made really good shit with more than one sample! i only stuck to one sample

good job everyone

Anthony, I'd say let's let the four of us who met the deadline take a vote on this.

Speaking for myself, I'm very keen to see these deadlines enforced, rather than have each week turn into a "just hang on, I'll submit something tomorrow, definitely..." type thing, then I'm waiting for emails, wondering how long I should wait...it's a hassle, and it's not fair to the competitors who stuck to the agreed timeframe. We only have around 4 days to get each challenge done (although...we know what's up for the next weeks, except the acapella one, so we can get started on those already...)

It'd be good to have you in the competition, your music sounds cool. But in terms of how I'd like to see the competition run with regard to weekly deadlines, I'm going to have to say it's too late.

GT, D4Dirty, System101 - let's say if two of you give Anthony the thumbs up, he's back in the competition.

since its only the first week and we have very few competitors i'd like to see Anthony stay! His style is different from all of us and we truly do need more competitors. After this week, a strict deadline will be enforced and anyone not meeting that deadline will be disqualified, but with the mixup that occured this week perhaps we should give him until midnight tonight Pacific Standard Time?

edit:

"week 1 - guitar hero - best use of guitar samples(provided) in any kind of prog house/prog trance bit. bpm range is acceptable, looking for melody, production quality and over all appeal. minimum length 1:30, maximum 3min"

time restrictions: 1:30 - 3:00

D4Dirty and derail didnt follow strict guidelines so therefore they should be eliminated as well right? (i'm joking)

but as you can see the rules weren't followed very well so therefore LET ANTHONY PARTICIPATE lol

Hey, which rule did I break?


Yeah let him stay for sure after this confusion.. hope were not the only ones voting in this competition though.
